Store It Foods

One of my favorite things about traveling is trying all the new food that’s offered to me. My husband and I love to go on cruises, specifically Caribbean cruises. Last time we travelled to the island of Mustique, and I tried the most delicious cuisine I had ever had. I want to share this recipe with you.

~ 1 pound of carrots
~¼ cup shredded coconut
~4 ounces of raisins
~¼ pint fresh pineapple juice
~½ tsp. chopped ginger

Directions:
Soak the raisins in the pineapple juice for an hour. Use your salad shooter to quickly prepare the rest of the accruements. Toss all the ingredients together until they are well mixed. Enjoy!

Salads are very healthy for you, but they can be boring if they only consist of lettuce. You can make your salad more interesting and filling by adding cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, carrots, artichoke hearts and more – whatever you like! But it takes time to chop all those vegetables, and that may discourage you from adding them. If you’re not comfortable using a knife, the idea can even be scary.

A Presto salad shooter really comes in handy for slicing and shredding vegetables for salads. It’s motorized, so once you insert a vegetable, all the slicing or shredding is done automatically. You can also shred cheese and other ingredients for pizzas, tacos, desserts and more. The salad shooter shoots your ingredients right where you want them. You can shoot cheese right onto a pizza or radishes right onto a salad; no mess from a cutting board or an extra bowl. What more could you want?

If your cholesterol and triglyceride levels are high and your physician has told you to change your lifestyle, then it’s about time you do something about it. First off, it is never too late to start a healthy diet. Ditch the greasy steaks and burgers. Aim for the greens. Green leafy vegetables and fruits in season are high in fiber. They can effectively lower your bad cholesterol. If you find it such a hassle to chop all the veggies for a salad, then get a salad shooter. This amazing kitchen gadget will do the slicing and shredding for you. Choose a dressing that is light such as a vinaigrette dressing.

Aside from eating healthier, make exercise a part of your life. Consult with a fitness trainer or your physician on what exercise regimen would work for you. You’ll see positive results in just a few weeks of keeping fit.
