My cookbooks and way of life are about low-calorie, low-carb, low-fat, low-sodium foods and recipes. You will see how to cook without salt, anything processed, pre-made, bagged, boxed or canned (or healthier solutions). My motto is: Simple recipes, Healthy for you, Fresh from nature.
After a kidney transplant and as a result of the medication, developing heart disease, diabetes and other issues, I began researching healthy cooking, vegetarian cooking and everything else under the sun.
What came about was a healthier, more natural way of cooking, keeping in mind low-income families, such as myself. After being on social security for over a decade, I found it was possible to eat healthy on such a restricted income. I stay away from anything pre-made, boxed, bagged and canned, for the most part.
In these cookbooks, I discuss the benefits of buying frozen vegetables! You can find low-carbohydrate foods in the frozen section, for those of us with diabetes, heart disease and so on. Simple, Healthy, Fresh 1.0 has about 70+ full color recipes with basic ingredients such as brown and wild mix rice, mushrooms, the holy trifecta–mirepoix (that is, celery-onion-carrot), leeks, eggplant and lean meats, pork and chicken.
In these cookbooks, I share what I have learned, how to buy and prepare healthy foods on a budget. Since there is no salt in my cooking or at my table, I show how to use flavored peppers. There is even a page on the website where I talk about how I created the line and may offer to sell if there is enough interest.
