Help, healthy food recipes for a picky eater?!
Answers: I went to gain better eating habits, and start to eat healhier, but I also lost interest because I'm a picky person and I don't like many of the healthy ingredients. IE: beans,soy,most cheese.
Jerry Seinfield's wife, Jessica, just came out with a new cookbook all about making foods for picky eaters. She uses vegetable puree in cooking and baking - you can't taste the things that you hate but the nutrients are there. It is called Deceptively Delicious.
Try lean skinless chicken breasts, salmon, and salad with mixed greens... and lots of garlic, onions, broccoli, apples, oranges, bananas, as sides or snacks.
In most cases, the foods you like are the foods you are used to. Give yourself a chance to like something new. Commit yourself to tasting a food five times before you decide whether you like it or not. You'll be surprised at what you find out For example, I didn't like refried beans the first time I had them, but now they're one of my favorite foods.
One time honored way is to add small amounts of vegetables or beans to old favorites, such as adding a little spinach or broccoli to lasagna, or a little cauliflower to macaroni and cheese. As you get used to the change, add a little more. Meatloaf is a great way to disguise for lots of finely chopped vegetables.
Best of luck.
Waitrose is a British suprmarket but you should be able to go onto their site www.waitrose.com. They have a huge database of really good recipes that you can search. Most of the recipes also have nutritional information so you can see how good or bad it is for you.
One of my favourites is the chicken livers with kale and balsamic vinegar
