Hi! I'm Stephanie Quilao, the one who noshes and shares what I eat. I am SO done with the baby carrots and steamed chicken most of us associate with "eating healthy" aka "How can I eat and get back in or stay in the skinny jeans?" Eating healthier doesn't have to be boring, bland, or bleh. Life is too short to deprive ourselves of flavor and tasty eats.
I believe that one way or another you are going to pay for your health either via the fork or via the hospital. I'd rather eat my way to better health and be preventative (in a fun way) than have to take pharmaceuticals or have surgeries when health issues arise which is reactive (in a not so fun way.) Many health issues can be tied to what we eat on a daily basis over time. When I discovered I had food allergies, my whole world improved.
My first memories of noshing pleasure were the graham crackers and milk I used to get in Kindergarten before nap time. Remember those days?
With so many organic and natural foods makers getting creative, we can now nosh and nibble healthy snacks and light meals that are not loaded with artificial stuff that sounds like fixins in someone's lab experiment. I also firmly believe in a concept called "Eating Wellness." Eating cleaner is a way to help us have healthier mind, body, and spirit.
Not only am I very creative person, I like to share knowledge. Everything on Noshtopia are things that I have learned in my own journey to better health. I am not a formally trained or certified anything related to food or health. Didn't go to any cooking schools or medical schools. I'm just very curious and passionate about food and holistic health. If there is anything you are unsure of, please consult with your personal medical professionals or trained culinary experts.
Some of the topics I will cover on Noshtopia include:
- Recipes
- Snack and nosh ideas
- How to get creative with vegetables since many of us omnivores and flexitarians need some inspiration in that area
- News and information concerning the healing properties of food
- Tips on making better food choices
- Food product reivews.
- Food preparation and organization
- Tips & How-tos on various things related to food.
- Restaurants and how to eat healthier on the go
The foods I will focus on will be more in the area of tasting foods, tapas, snacks, appetizers, light meals, and hors'dvoures. You wont' see recipes for full Filet Mignon dinners, but you would see nosh ideas to make from Filet Mignon dinner left overs.
For more about me, you can find me blogging away also at Back in Skinny Jeans, an uplifting place to create a fitter you: body, mind, and spirit.
