A person’s everyday meals can be made healthy and nutritious in some simple and easy ways. A person’s everyday meals should be nutritious and healthy thus providing them with all the nutrients and vitamins that are essential in one’s daily diets. To make a simple meal start by heating a sauce pan. Then once the pan gets hot add a dash of olive oil. Next crack about 4 to 5 eggs in to a bowl.

Add some salt, fresh pepper and a bit of thyme to this bowl and whisk all the contents. You can even whisk in a blender. Once done pour this batter into the saucepan and cook the ingredients for about 60 seconds.

Then flip the pancake to the next side and let is cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Once it is cooked completely take the pan off the heat and cut the pancake in two parts. In a separate dish heat up 2 or 3 pieces of whole meal tortillas or put these in the microwave and heat for 10 to 12 seconds.

Next place a large piece of lettuce on to each tortilla and spread some mayonnaise or some other sauce on it. Next sandwich the pancake in between the tortilla. This can be eaten along with some tossed salad.

Try to add as many leafy green vegetables to one’s daily meals.

These can be added diced and roughly chopped and put in salads or can be boiled and then blended to make soups. They can even be added to sandwiches as fillers along with some meat like chicken or fish. Green vegetables are a great source of iron and also a rich source of fiber that is required for our daily healthy eating. Some of the greens include spinach, broccoli, lettuce, spring onions etc. Try adding nuts to ones meals too. Almonds, cashews, walnuts, apricots are a rich source of various vitamins and minerals that are essential for healthy growth and development. Another simple recipe is to try making a simple sandwich out of whole grain bread. Take a couple of slices of this bread and spread some mustard on it. Next add a couple of slices of some smoked salmon on it. Else one can even try adding some chicken that has been grilled. This sandwich is high in fiber and also in nutrition. Salmon and mackerel contain large quantities of omega 3 fatty substances. Walnuts, flaxseeds and sardines are some other foods that contain high quantities of omega 3 which is very essential in preventing depression, cancer growth, fatigue, type 2 diabetes etc.
