Your Turn to Host Girls Night Out? A Simple Way to Keep it Healthy!

If it is your turn to host a girl’s night out, you may have no idea what to serve. If your good friends are similar to mine, they like to eat healthy but they are not willing to give up on taste. Actually, a lot of them have really high expectations and you would hate to disappoint. The great news is that serving great food doesn't imply that you must invest hours in the kitchen. It isn't very difficult to create healthy, easy food that tastes fantastic! as an example, you can serve a great quinoa salad with a hummus recipe as a side dish. this is a great menu because it is easy to make ahead. it is also sure to please both meat eaters and vegetarians.

There are many different options for making a quinoa salad. One that is really like is a Greek quinoa salad. For the Greek quinoa salad you should cook the quinoa, and after that combine it with kalamata olives, feta cheese, sliced tomatoes, artichoke hearts, red pepper, banana peppers, parsley, freshly squeezed lemon juice, red wine vinegar as well as olive oil.

There are many options when making hummus. something that you will want to remember is that for the best possible dip you should start with warm garbanzo beans. This helps to cut the acidity of the garlic and really works wonders in helping the flavors to combine. As far as what you can add, good options are roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, or olives. If you want to go all out, you could make two or three different types of hummus for your friends to enjoy.

If you really want to increase the health power of your hummus recipe and you like foods with a little kick to them, try adding cayenne pepper. cayenne pepper and other hot peppers actually work to help curb cravings. in a recent study it was shown that capsaicin, which is in peppers, works to keep you fuller and curb hunger. Researchers found that it was especially effective in the presence of green tea, so you may want to consider serving green tea as well!

While most of us don€™t always realize just how easy it is to make simple and healthy meals that also taste great, when you give it some thought it really is not all that difficult.
