Ullja's Gusto Food Movement Waco Texas, Eating Healthy with Stir-fry Recipes


Ullja's Gusto Food movement Waco Texas, Eating Healthy and Sustainable with Stir-fry Recipes:
Ullja Kuntze, founder and chef of Ullja's Gusto Sustainable Food movement in Waco-Texas, has been teaching the community members to incorporate many easy-to-do, stir-fry recipes with fresh produce bought from local farmers in Waco-Texas. Eating sustainable, local fresh food has many advantages, including financial, economic, and most of all its the best way for ones health.

Here is an easy recipe using fresh, local produce from farmers:

Chicken Stir-fry made with zucchini, fresh green onions, mushrooms, and leeks...just cut them all, add a little extra virgin olive oil in your pan and start stirring them until all is cooked...stir-frying veggies is done quickly..make sure the chicken is well done (i usually stir-fry the chicken first and then add all the veggies...to season, i only use sea salt and freshly ground pepper...you can also add some freshly ground ginger to this or use some fresh chopped parsley.Try to stay away from ready-made seasonings and flavorings which are mostly filled with artificial chemicals and ingredients.
Buon appetito:-)

Ullja's, Ullja's Gusto, Sustainable Local Food Movement Waco-Texas, Avoid Food Cravings


Ulljas Gusto, Food movement Waco-Texas, Tip of the Day:

AVOID FOOD CRAVINGS:

Why do we love food? The main reasons are, it gives us energy and it makes us feel good. Usually, the higher in calories, sugar and fat, the bigger the yum factor.
However, if you eat too much carbs and little nutrients all the time, you will feel less energetic. Carbs may be a good source of potential energy, but without other nutrients it cant get processed into usable energy so it ends up as fat.

Eating a balanced diet including veggies, seeds, nuts, fish will provide your body with the nutrition it needs to produce energy.

Remember, dont rely on food for the feel-good factor, be more active and make sure you have some fun.

Ullja's, Ullja's Gusto Food Movement in Waco Texas


Ullja's, Ullja's Gusto Food Movement in Waco Texas:


Everyone is talking about a nice, home-cooked meal and the importance of the connection between Plate and Planet...to eat sustainable, local food. At Ullja's Gusto Food movement, we try to educate our community of how important it is to support our local farmers and to learn to eat HEALTHY, FRESH AND TASTY.
Here are some great reasons why you should make cooking with local food at home a ritual:
1) It is more ECONOMICAL: you save money because you dont pay for someone else's cost of running their business such as a restaurant (or for packaging, processing, and advertising costs for the prepared foods found at the grocery store). You buy locally produced foods from farmers and artisan food producers and save on the cost of transporting food across the nation while you support the local farmers to stay in business.

2) It is HEALTHIER: you have control over what goes in your recipe, how its prepared and food that is locally grown is FRESHER and more NUTRITIOUS.

3)Eating healthy foods does also TASTE better. All the processed food with its cheap chemicals, corn syrup derivates, preservatives has literally corrupted the taste palates and the wonderfully, delicious fresh food tastes are forgotten.

4) If you cook at home using fresh food products, you have more control over what goes in your body then when you eat out...so, another advantage is that home-cooking is SAFER

5)Sustainable Home cooking is also very satisfying...you are doing something very good for yourself and your loved ones-preparing healthy, fresh, and tasty meals while supporting your local farmers and the environment you live in.

There are so many advantages in living a sustainable lifestyle...not only will you do yourself some GOOD, but also for the future generation.

Happy Cooking from Ullja Kuntze
Founder of Ullja's Gusto food movement in Waco Texas
