Down through the years we have tasted food one way:  Mom's way, Auntie's way, Grandmother's way.  Let's tweak that delicious, mouthwatering comfort food to make it a bit healthier.  Sojourn to Healthy Eating shows you how.  Sojourn to Healthy Eating is a cookbook that doesn't say give up this or give up that.  It recommends ways to adjust recipes so that they satisfy your taste buds and your health.

 

​Like to spice up food with black pepper?  Fine.  How about using cayenne pepper instead.  Same kick to your favorite meals, but a healthier seasoning, and you don't have to use as much.  See, you can keep the taste, just change the seasoning to cayenne or even red pepper flakes.

 

​Love cheese and milk?  Have asthma?  Don't give up the cheese.  Tweak it with hemp or nut cheeses.  You won't miss that cheesy flavor when you use cashew cheese or cashew parmesan cheese in your recipes.  Easy, real easy to make.  Go to page 76 for the recipe.  Scroll down to see sample pages and recipes below.  For more recipes go to the Recipes page.
