Re: [CHAT] Healthy Eating Aug 13
Is healthy eating boring?
What's boring is being stuck in a hospital bed because you've had a heart attack from eating too much junk food... it's important to take a long term view of things
Besides it doesn't have to be boring! You can always combine naughty stuff and healthy stuff - putting some chocolate chips in a trail mix of nuts, putting some extra soy sauce on your stir fried veggies etc.

Re: [CHAT] Healthy Eating Aug 13
So, the thing is, I actually kind of prefer bland food over taste explosions. In my experience, a lot of healthy food has always just been too full of unfamiliar flavour for me, or it's simply flavours and textures that I don't like.
I think there's a time where I would have said it was boring, but I think that's because I didn't really think about it.

Re: [CHAT] Healthy Eating Aug 13
Is healthy eating boring?
It can sometimes be boring! If I am rushed or tired then trying to make a healthy meal can be a huuuuuge pain. However, I actually really enjoy cooking so when I have time to actually plan a meal out then I find it fun I enjoy tweaking recipes to include more veggies/ingredients that I like. I often cook big batches of things too so when I am in a lazy mood I can just heat it up.

Re: [CHAT] Healthy Eating Aug 13
I agree with @missep, I don't think healthy eating is boring either. There are plenty of creative and fun ways of going about making healthy foods
Hope is just around the corner; you think it's not there when you first look straight ahead, but it actually is when you turn around

Very much an unwise move on my part.

Re: [CHAT] Healthy Eating Aug 13
Nooope! Over time I've learnt a lot about cooking and flavours and what I like. I used to think I hated so many ingredients (helloo mushrooms) but now that I cook a lot I have discovered how to make meals in a way that works really well for me. I have gradually added more and more ingredients into the repertoire of things I really like and know how to use in a meal. I love making huge veggie curries, rice dishes and pasta sauces that are really flavoursome
