Have you been warned about dairy products? Are you worried about their fat content? Well, this the one what you must have regularly.

I never liked it when I was a child. It is not surprise as my childhood's mustard tasted awful. I discovered mustard and its benefits first when I was on a weight loss diet. But I never knew that making home-made mustard is so quick and rewarding. My childhood's mustard was so bland and so child-friendly that it tasted awful. So I hardly ever eat it until my 20's.

Ketchup is our favourite condiment. It is made from tomato, so it is healthy, isn't it? It contains lots of sugar. So it is not so healthy, is it? My kids - as every kid - love ketchup.
