Merry Christmas And Happy Bodies Volume I

How to prepare a table for Christmas and healthy New Year's Eve? Good and sauces beautiful people. We are in the final year and it's precisely when we start planning where to spend the holidays, with whom and what to prepare. Clearly I'll only be able to help one of these decisions because the other two concerns the need to analyze the corazón.Antes you all I would like to clarify that we are in the southern hemisphere of the continent and therefore from 21 to Summer starts in December. Maybe you're saying at this point, "this guy is half soncito?", "For millions of years in Argentina in December and summer begins in 2010 just realized?", "Need to continue reading this ? ". Of course, for all is obvious everything I write, but when they get to cook for parties forget this fundamental fact and make preparations for winter. If looks quiet / or table last year while hot water for about matecitos (and back). Now, tell me if I'm exaggerating. When finished Christmas dinner first thing we do is a button of his trousers undone because we did not enter anything else.

Quickly run back the chair because no longer endure the pressure of the swollen belly on the table and from that moment began the jokes about the state of another person without looking in the mirror and say "the other me." As if this were little short of bread sweet, sugared, nougats and all kinds of candy. After the toast and this time you swear by the gods of the planet that never going to eat much. But next week will unfortunately end of the year and the same again ocurrir.La issue is not only a barbecue, a grilled pork or poult typical landfill. The secret is simply that our bodies are not ready to receive as many calories in summer. Of meat and we talked several times, so I'd like to dedicate a few lines to the body's needs. To understand, consider the fact that typical winter preparations are, for example, stewed lentils, beans or pasta stuffed with a rich sauce. Precisely these foods will provide the body enough calories to maintain a body temperature of 36 °. Now I thought why do not you consume in summer these preparations.

Or what happens when we have a temperature of twenty degrees peak and eat a stew. Surely you will start to sweat because your body does not need as many calories. Not to mention when we passed the 30 °. So eat more salads in summer, many smoothies, light preparations and the body needs more fluid. Regional and seasonal products, light and homemade preparations are some recommendations for a dinner diferente.Por it occurred to me to use the entire month of December to put together a Christmas table and different year-end. A table natural, healthy, nutritious, colorful and above all very rich. To make things more practical, we propose to divide into three sections: inputs, main and sweets. This does not mean that you have to prepare all the recipes. You just give some and you do the ones you like. Just today we touch inputs. So get to work, for any questions do not hesitate to write me at http://www.chefenmicocina.com.ar/ is, as always, thanks for choosing to continue feeding the heart and not with your eyes.:: Pablito Martin .
