Home-made fast-food with a healthier twist. Come again?


Eating fast-food meals isn't considered healthy. Burgers, chicken nuggets, pizzas or hot-dogs (whether bought frozen and cooked at home or eaten at a fast food restaurant) belong to a league of foods people are advised to scarcely consume.

Nevertheless, a fast-food meal can be turned into a good home-made dinner when cooked at home with your choice of healthier ingredients and a bit of love.Why not create your own chicken nugget or burger  recipe kids will salivate over, instead of having them beg for a visit to the local fast food restaurant?

We never really know the quality of meat used in the nuggets, burgers or even pizzas at our local fast-food restaurants. Take matters in your own hands and be the one to choose what goes in your family's belly. Choose  the quality of meat to create your burgers and the type of oil to fry/bake your chips/wedges. Compliment you dishes with fresh vegetables and regulate the amount of salt in every portion.

From time to time I prepare home-made burgers which everyone enjoys. Each one can add their own choice of ingredients and sauces. I keep mine simple. I compliment my beef burger with green salad leaves, tomato, pickle cucumber, pineapple slice and cheese all tucked in a toasted burger bun accompanied by home-made potato wedges.

Check out this wonderful recipe (under main dishes) and enjoy a healthier burger meal at home.
