(Food-Beverage-News.Com, February 02, 2015 ) Chicago, IL -- With Valentine's Day less than 2 weeks away, Salus Home Solutions wants to remind us to not get carried away with our intimate dinners. Jenny Magill of Salus Home Solutions shares, "Restaurants serving special Valentine's Day dinners tend to serve high-carb, high-calorie comfort foods that can add inches to your waistline. This can be avoided and you'll still enjoy a delicious meal that's healthy too. No guilt."
The following are some suggestions Salus Home Solutions shared for enjoying guilt-free, delicious dining on the most romantic night of the year:
• Roses are red, but so is food
There are plenty of wonderfully healthy foods to add to a meal for Valentine's Day that also add the color of love. Think of how to incorporate tomatoes, bell peppers, red onions or red beans to the meal. Start with a salad that includes radicchio and strawberries or, save the cherries and strawberries for desert.
• Try cooking at home
Not only will cooking at home allow calorie counters to control what's being consumed, preparing meals with a loved one can get things cooking. Instead of making that high-carb box of pasta, opt for the vegetable noodle alternative. Jenny Magill adds, "Our Vegetable Spiral Slicer can quickly create a pan full of beautiful zucchini noodles ready for sautéing with your favorite ingredients. It's faster than waiting for water to boil and noodles to cook."
• Substitute, Substitute, Substitute
If celebrating a romantic evening means going out to eat, taking control of what's ordered may be in order. Most servers will make substitutions when asked. Asking for sauces on the side, veggies instead of french fries and inquiring if the meal can be made with healthier alternatives like butter instead of margarine, or olive oil instead is standard. Can it be made without adding salt? The key here is to modify a meal to be calorie-conscious and heart-healthy. It is Valentine's Day after all!
