I think it is time for us to start eating healthier. I'm opposed to resolutions and diets so I'm not saying I'm going on a diet but focusing on changing our current eating habits so that we feel better. It starts with me cooking healthier. Studies have shown that eating healthier is more costly but soybean oil offers better-for-you health benefits and is about a tenth of the cost of some competing oils. I will not let smart eating break my bank! You are probably already cooking with soybean oil! Just check the ingredients on your vegetable oil! Soybean oil is one of the most versatile ingredients that you can use in the kitchen, helping you create all your favorite traditional meals without compromising taste.
Here are five of my favorite recipes from
www.soyconnection.com to show you that cooking healthier is easy on the wallet and in the kitchen!
