In the south or at least here in Searcy Arkansas I have noticed that nutrition is not very important to most folks. Popular favorites here are deep fried cat fish, hush puppies, french fries, fried okra, fried squash, chicken fried steak, are you seeing a pattern??? fried fried fried! There is nutrition there but it's laden with artery clogging fat and excessive amounts of calories.
I came from the west coast and out there people put allot of emphasis on diet and exercise, in the grocery stores there its easy to find lots of healthy food choices and even low fat healthy fast food restaurants!
My favorite fast food there is El Pollo Loco they had the best charbroiled chicken, fresh salsa, and beans mmmmmm.
Anyway last night I was thinking I would sure like a slice of pizza! But I don't touch white bleached refined flour. So I made a home made crust out of 100% whole grain wheat flour, wheat bran and flax seeds. I topped it with pizza sauce from a jar and loads of fresh sliced mushrooms, red peppers, onion, jalapenos, and tomatoes a little mozzarella cheese and fresh Parmesan. Now thats a healthy and delicious pizza!
I need some more healthy recipes that are tasty too any ideas anyone?
