1.   Vegetable salad is easy to prepare with a pre-cut vegetables and some other vegetable greens.  Mix and toss in a big bowl, serve with a salad dressing.  Have some variations with salad dressing and experiment to suit your family taste.  Alternative for vegetable salads are steaming your vegetables which is easy to prepare.  Wash them thoroughly and steam for a couple of minutes.

2.   Meat are high in protein but too much fats are not healthy.   Turn your  meat into a healthy one by trimming the skin to remove the fat, it will also absorb the flavors better when marinating.  Instead of deep fat frying, grill or stir-fry meat.
