Whether you love cooking or dread walking into the kitchen, the free Food Personality Quiz on MealsMatter.org can help you better understand your food and cooking style while providing strategies to help you prepare healthy meals.
For example, some people enjoy spending time cooking and preparing meals with high quality ingredients that are more elaborate than routine, everyday recipes. If good food is important to you and you have a discriminating palate, Gourmet! is probably your food personality. Creating food is a pleasurable activity, so try to choose healthy foods with a large amount of vitamins and minerals for their calories. This will help ensure that the gourmet meals you prepare will also be well balanced for good health.
This week, treat your family to a healthy, gourmet meal of Caramelized Scallops, Brussels Sprouts with Sherry-Asiago Cream Sauce and Basmati Rice Pudding with Oranges. Throughout the week, try other gourmet recipes like Tomato-Basil Soup, Peppered Beef Filets with Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes, Chicken Mangalorean and Strawberry Ricotta Soufflé. Register free at MealsMatter.org to add these and other recipes to your meal plan and shopping list. Be sure to follow @MealsMatter on Twitter for more healthy eating ideas, recipes and meal planning tips.
