A Guide to Healthy Eating: Do It Healthy: 3 Times a Day
Author

Tanya Frew

I’ve worked as a psychology lecturer, and a support worker with autistic kids. Utmost love is my second book. First, A Guide to Healthy Eating: Do it Healthy 3 times a day. These books are a dream come true, due to my passion for healthy-living, and love as an intrinsic phenomenon. I was first inspired to write, after the death of my mother. She died from breast cancer at age 48, and we were extremely closed. Writing about my emotions, helped me through my darkest days and nights. At present, I’m enjoying motherhood, with my three beautiful young princes.

    A Guide to Healthy Eating - Tanya Frew

    HELPFUL TIPS TO REMEMBER

    • All dishes are done with healthy eating in mind. Eat healthy and if you can exercise regularly.

    • Wash all meat, fruits and vegetables before using.

    • Some leftover food can be refrigerated or freeze.

    • A tip for preparing fish and meat is to wash them in lime or lemon water before cooking – or add a dash of lime or lemon juice when cooking.

    • Wash hand properly after handling raw fish

    and meat.

    • In most poultry dishes (here), meat is filleted and skin is removed.

    • When baking, prepare oven first; so it can be preheated and ready to use. Prepare all mixing equipment, baking sheet, tin, oven dish, bowls, pots or pans before prepare the mixture.

    • Runny honey is recommended for honey dishes

    • Nuts used in these recipes should be shelled before crushed, blended or grounded.

    • Most fruits used in these dishes are ripe.

    • Yogurts in these dishes are recommended to be LOW FAT.

    • Coconut milk is recommended to be low fat.

    • Pasteurized milk is recommended to be skimmed milk. Alternative milks recommended are, semi-skimmed milk, rice milk, almond milk and soya milk.

    • Butter is recommended to be a healthy, low fat or light.

    • If the top of baking products starts to burn before there are fully baked, then put foil paper over it, and lower the oven temperature slightly. Lowering the oven temperature, might cause the baking product to take more time to bake than is recommended.

    • For drop cookie, leave enough space between each before baking.

    HONEY JAMS

    How to test jam is ready:

    Spoon some jam onto a plate and put to cool. Then use your finger or a spoon to test the consistency, if it is runny, put it back on the heat until it is completely thicken and jammy. Most times with sugary jam, when it is ready, it is usually springy; it isn’t the same with honey jam. There is no springiness to honey jam, just thick jammy consistency.

    When preparing jam, be sure to stir consistently (every few minutes) while on the heat; and take note, that it doesn’t burn.

    Make sure all fruits are washed.

    Jars should be washed and sterilised before storing jam. Closed tightly and store in refrigerator or cupboards.

    To puree fruits – cut fruits into tiny pieces and put into a food processor, juicer or a blender. However, if using a blender (some blender won’t blend without water), you might need to add some water, thus add small amount of water (much less water than fruits) and blend until thick and smooth. Water should just be enough to get the blender going. The less water, the better the puree will be, as fruits have got their own water/juice.

    1 ½ cups redcurrant (pureed)
