What You'll Find On EASYANDDELISH.COM
My goal is to help you cook budget-friendly, easy healthy meals from around the world with some occasional splurges. They are sure to bring a lot of excitement to your table!
I believe cooking should be affordable and that food should nourish both the body and soul.
Our diverse recipe index conveys our philosophy!
On Denise's Easy and Delish, you’ll find recipes from around the world, especially from Brazil (my native country) and the United States (my home country).
Most of them have a healthy twist or belong to a different diet category such as low-carb, gluten-free, vegetarian, high-protein, and so on.
In fact, many of my recipes are high-protein, gluten-free, and low-carb because I’m a PCOS survivor and have to follow a PCOS diet ( or eat as a diabetic without being one)!
Because life is a balance, you’ll also find some scrumptious treats that should be consumed in moderation. This means, you nourish your body mostly with healthy foods and also nourish your soul with some occasional splurges.
Easy and Delish also features well-researched articles about healthy foods and diet recipes for those who want to learn more about healthy eating, and weight loss and maintenance. I am an avid nutrition researcher!
