Quick, Healthy & Delicious "Mini - Meals" For A Lean Body

January 16, 2010

I get emails just about every day from readers who are trying to make healthier food choices, but they are having trouble sticking with it because they can't stop snacking throughout the day. I know that many folks think that in order to lose abdomen fat they need to devour chicken breast, brown rice, and broccoli all day, but that is completely false!

Even the rice can be of any kind. I buy the medium or long grain that can be found at any grocery store, and it makes a fine paella.

Saffron, however, is another matter. I still remember an invitation to a paella cookout in California many years ago. Our hosts had prepared an outside burner, the typical paella cooking pan and a large array of “yummy” ingredients to add. When they started cooking they pulled out a container of “yellow #5” food colorant and added it to the pan. My husband and I instantly looked at each other and said: “ It is not paella.” I will leave up to you to consider the importance of real saffron when preparing a good, real paella. Saffron adds the typical yellow color to the rice, but it also adds its characteristic flavor.
