STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM

inglés

Every day can be a case of passing in front of a grocery store and watch prices, and shopping ... I can even go through the head to make a good dessert to my family with these fruits. I look the Internet, or wonder through social networks someone and in a minute I have a more or less valid for my house.

But now we have to implement it. Because it is not just thinking about a dessert, for example. I think it's quite a challenge, especially considering the amount of things we have to do all along the day, get to work ...

  From the virtual to the tangible there is a stretch. But if healthy eating at home is written thus more can still be done with the facts. Yes, as long as we decide to "get wet". Here are some strawberries and cream that have nothing to do with some strawberries and cream spray. And it only takes a few minutes.


STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM
The day before:

Wash strawberries. Remove the tail and cut into halves (bite size).
Pour over sugar and the juice of one or two lemons.
Marinate in the refrigerator, and turn it a few times or three.
Before eating them:
Whip the cream, cold and adding a tablespoon of powdered milk if you want to give stability to the cream.
Serve in a bowl of strawberries with cream on top, or apart so everyone can enjoy your taste.
You can also marinate with some kind muscat dessert wine, or milk (according to the public!)

If the cream is too heavy, it can be a mixture of plain yogurt with a little condensed milk. There are a thousand and one ways to make this fruit like both and whose season is very short (at least, at a good price). With chocolate, cake (cake California, for example), with other fruits, ...

Managing enthusiasm

Yes, yes, you can purchase the enthusiasm, even when we think it is genetic and our genome does not include this character. We would all like so often make things more comfortable, or at least enjoy more of what we do. We have heard many times how fast we live, but we have no time to see how to fix what is not. Do not have time or do not want to be realistic? Not to be fatalistic. Quite the contrary. As one author, "it touches, touches. But with joy." Well, it's not a matter of much knowledge, but other types of wisdom: the role before it in relation to their own and it plays. And enjoy living. Does this have something to do with healthy feeding at home?It has everything to do. It is not enough to be clear how much we care about the family (if they have clear), but you have to prove. And although it is not easy, you can. But you have to commit to their own family.The author whose appointment has been written above is Victor Kupers, and yours is also the statement that "there is nothing worse than a useless motivated." Or what is the same, not enough to be clear about what I want, but I need to know how to do and have the experience that I have. And on the contrary, are useless thousand cooking skills and professional experience years later if I can not add the ingredient wanting to get involved in what I do. Serve an example: John has won six national awards in Financial Economics. But he comes home and is not able to take a few minutes to the cost of the basket, because he is very busy in an abstract being drafted for the magazine's most prestigious economy in their country. Professionally he is a "crack", but at home they can not count on him (although he says he does it all for his family).Perhaps this example may seem exaggerated, but maybe not. So from this blog we encourage you to put all of you if you consider that the family is important. And if it's what we publish, we rejoice.

ABOUT REFRIGERATOR

It is a fact that this is one of the largest appliances we use, and being very closely related to healthy eating, we will make some notes on it. Did you fill according to his ability? Do I know if you keep the temperature? In what order should I introduce foods?


The refrigerator is in every home the home appliance further opens and closes along the day.

Issues to consider:

First off, adjust the purchase capacity fridge: overloading is dangerous for the unit and for food.
Take out all the ingredients we need when cooking, to prevent the losse of cold.
It is also necessary to introduce a time in the fridge once cooked foods: the life of the unit and by the food and those who are there.
Read labels: ordinarily, once opened products have a short period to consumption.
Pack foods properly to prevent odors and also catch other by cross-contamination.
At the bottom fruits and vegetables are placed.
If possible, observe the order of the shelves to avoid mixing different types of food. For one thing fresh meat and fish, sausage or separated from meats. Milk and cheese can go top, and if there is no egg cup, it is interesting to acquire a fit on the side.
The content of canned Hayque tupperware or transfer them to a glass jar and discard after opening the cans forever.
Although we have planned a menu, sometimes we use ingredients already open for consumption soon: This is also food security!
The temperature should be between 2 and 5 ° C: if is off, it is very important to tell a technician asap.
Cleaning the refrigerator can be performed before saving the purchase, with the same soap kitchen. If systematize this little activity, we will become a good habit.
And, obviously, not saving any non-food product!
