Less than a month to go before Christmas! Each year it seems to get harder and harder to find gifts that are useful, healthy and going to last more than a couple of months. I’ve come up with some gifts I’d be happy to receive and I imagine many of you would be too. Thanks for supporting me over the past year in my quest for easy ways to eat well when you're busy. I wish you all a healthy and happy Christmas.
As you know, I love to read the advice and healthy recipes this magazine has to offer. So I’d be more than happy to receive a year’s subscription. It’s the perfect gift for a loved one or for yourself. A subscription to your door is only $59 for 12 issues, including postage and handling within Australia. You save 24%. And it’s a gift that will continue throughout the year!
Getting the temperature right over the festive season when you are opening the doors often is hard to do. I’m a fan of those simple dial thermoemters for your fridge or freezer. Just stick it inside, wait an hour for it to come to the internal temperature and check yours is less than 4 degrees C (fridge) or less than -18 degrees C (freezer). So why not stick one on your Christmas list? Cost under $10.
I have a simple hand-turned vegetable spiraliser which makes long zucchini noodles and carrot strands for interesting salads. At first, I was a sceptic but must admit that it gives your salads and garnishes that professional look. And you can spiralise any soft vegetable from radish, daikon (long white radish), beetroot and butternut squash. Mine was $69 and is called the Inspiralizer but there are a range of types and prices.
Forget giving shortbread and Rocky Road. At a time of festive excess, why not give something that promotes health and helps family and friends avoid gaining that unwanted weight over the Christmas season? Here are 5 great ideas:
