Tagine is a Moroccan stew that takes its name from the earthen pot in which it is slow cooked. Although I don’t have a tagine pot, the dish has become a regular item in both weekly family meals and entertaining menus because of the colors, the flavors and the diversity. Tagine is traditionally a stand-alone […]
Make it vegan by leaving out the beef. It’s also an easy way to make a dinner for both omnivores and non-vegans. Cook the ground beef separately, set aside. Once the chili is cooked split it into two pots and add the cooked beef into one of the pots. I’ve made it vegan, with ground […]

“Fish is high in important vitamins such as B1 (thiamine), B2 (niacin) and D as well as omega 3 fatty acids. Salmon is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.
It is believed that omega 3 fatty acids reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by increasing the levels of “good” cholesterol and lowering the levels of “bad cholesterol in the body. They’ve been found to prevent blood clots and there is evidence that omega 3 fatty acids help relieve symptoms of arthritis.”

Sadly, increasingly there are health dilemmas associated with eating fish, in particular farmed fish.
“Farmed fish are fed fish meal and fish oils because they need proteins and fats to help them grow (wild salmon get the nutrients they need by eating other fish which are small and relatively low in chemical contaminants); but these feeds contain higher concentrations of pollutants called PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls)…Farmed fish have twice the fat and more than twice the saturated fat of their wild counterparts – increasing the levels of PBCs… Their omega-3 content depends entirely on what they are fed and this varies by species and farm. “

I believe it is important to be a conscious consumer and in regards to fish, choose to know where the fish comes from, whether is it is farmed or wild., not just for our health but also for that of the fish and the planet. We can make a difference by relying on a fish advisory card (link to http://www.seafoodwatch.org/consumers/seafood-and-your-health) and voting with our forks to only buy fish that is sustainable and healthy.

I love this nutrient dense soup; it is a comfort soup and is especially delicious in cold weather. Like all beans, chickpeas (garbanzo) are a super food because of their substantial nutritional content (protein, B vitamins, iron, folate, potassium, magnesium and phytonutrients) and their health benefits. Chickpeas have been associated with a number of possible […]
