diet snack

It was an accident-SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THE DREADED CARROT STICKS, CELERY, AND PEPPER SNACK FOR DIETS.

apparently some good things come from accidents. there i was making a vegetable soup and decided to roast some carrots. guess what-I had the peeled, small carrots that comes in bags (zero peeling and chopping needed here) put them on foil, sprinkled a smidge of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and tossed in a small (SMALL) amount of olive oil, ready now for roasting. In comes my handy dandy husband who decides to eat some of these carrots, raw, prior to cooking. They were delicious. You know when you have to go on a diet and they always threaten you with that delicious sounding snack - carrot sticks, celery and pepper. well guess what this was pretty damned good seasoned. WHY DON'T THEY SEASON FOOD ON DIETS. WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID OF. WE MIGHT ACTUALLY LIKE WHAT WE'RE EATING. I'm actually going to have this on hand now for us to nibble on. Just season it. You need a bit of the olive oil for the seasoning to stick to it. That's all. If you think you're going to lose control on the olive oil - then spray it on. That will work.

Since I always am on a diet I will try this! You can take some olive oil and rub it in your hands then take the carrots and mix them with your hands - if this all makes sense. This way you are coating them with minimal oil but enough to make the spices stick.

sounds good. think an olive oil you like helps. it adds to the flavor and the mouth feel. makes is feel and taste like something.

vegetarian page

Sorry I have been out of commission lately. I will try not to let that happen again.

There's a new page being worked on and I added the link to it on the top tabs - see Vegetarian. It's for those of you who have asked me to add such a page, for those of you who have a curiousity about it, for those of you who wouldn't mind adding meatless dishes once in a while, and for just the heck of it.

I have more links to add to it but thought I should get something going now.

speak to you soon. pi

Speaking of Vegetarian, I just got this receipe from the Integrative Nutrion Newsletter:


Stuffed Roasted Acorn
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients:
2 acorn squash
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt and pepper

Stuffing
1 cup cooked whole grain (quinoa, brown rice, millet, barley)
1 onion, finely diced
1 zucchini, diced
1/4 cup golden raisins or currents
1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
3 teaspoons curry
1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Cut acorn squash in half and clean out seeds and fibers. Cut a very thin slice off the bottom, so that the acorn squash halves can sit flat like soup bowls.
Brush with olive oil, and spread garlic evenly over the 4 cups, sprinkle with salt and pepper, place on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes.
While baking, in a skillet saute onions, curry and raisins for 3 minutes. Add cooked grains and stir for 5 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat and mix in parsley and zucchini.
Fill each squash cup with stuffing and top with chopped pumpkin seeds and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the squash is soft (when a butter knife sinks into the squash with ease). Serve warm.

This might also be of interest to some people even though it isn't a receipe - it iTrans Fat Free NYC
Integrative Nutrition has sponsored a campaign that could change the health of thousands of New Yorkers: Trans Fat Free NYC. Trans fats are the cause of over 30,000 premature coronary heart disease deaths per year in the US. On Monday October 30th our community held a rally to support proposal 81.08, which would free NYC restaurants of the dangerous and preventable health risks posed by trans fat. Our inspiring event featured tasty food, healthy oil demonstrations and dance performances and attracted media attention to raise awareness of this important health issue. Our special guest speakers included Anna Lappé of the Small Planet Institute and Dr. Walter Willett of the Harvard School of Public Health. Joshua gave powerful testimony to the NYC Board of Health, and we look forward to them passing the proposal when they vote in December. To learn more about the Trans Fat Free NYC movement, visit www.transfatfreenyc.org.

chocolate & pumpkin

hey Tracey -
that sounds like it would be like the chocolate/pumpkin loaf I get at the farmers market. It's a pretty good combo. I hear it's one of their favorite selling loaf flavor combos. I like it and so does Paul.
