About the Author

Wendy Jarich began eating things such as Tofu, which has been used in Asian cooking for thousands of years and is now becoming more popular in vegetarian cooking and mixed in with dishes for meat lovers. The soft curd can be substituted for cheese and meat and is like a sponge as it soaks in flavors of other ingredients. Tofu is full of nutrients, easy to digest and not expensive so it is cheap so a great way to bulk up meals and save some money too. Wendy Jarich also uses olive oil as one that has numerous qualities that chefs both amateur and professional favor. Studies show it is a great appetite suppressant and can give a feeling of being full which means you are less likely to over indulge. It's ideal as a salad dressing, cooking oil or on bread instead of using butter or margarine. Add some balsamic vinegar for a tasty treat.
