Eat Well with Parker Joy!

Hey everybody!

I know I always talk about fashion, but today I’m going to talk/blog about something a little bit different; food.

Although there is so much food these days, let me say most of the food is REALLY bad for you. Even if it says it’s organic on the label, it doesn’t mean it is healthy or good for you. My mom is all about eating healthy food and stuff. She makes us check the side of the box and look at the ingredients and if it has High Fructose Corn Syrup in it, we can’t eat it.

Since I love to cook and bake, I recently just got a new cookbook about all healthy, time-dependent, foods. It is called Real Food, Real Fast by a British teen, Sam Stern.  All the food is divided into five different sections; 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 Minutes. This makes life a lot easier because usually when I cook, I always look at how much time it will take. Some of my favorite recipes are Salmon, Cheese, and Spinach Risotto, Tomato and Lentil Soup, and Classic Garlic Grilled Cheese. The author also gives a bunch of morning smoothie boosts and they all taste great!

Food is one of my most favorite things in the world. I will try and cook almost anything. I have tried being a vegetarian multiple times because it is much better for your body, but I just love meat! A good tip? Get the right meat, like at a butcher shop or at a local Whole Foods to make sure they treat the animals right!

This brings me to another food related subject: Food Shopping. I personally love to food shop & have so much fun getting things for the next meal I am going to make. My favorite place(s) to food shop: Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Clear Flour Bakery, The Meat House, and the local farmers market in the Spring and Summer!

Thanks for reading once again!

What are your favorite things to cook?
