Sardines are an inexpensive source of protein and healthy fats. They are available fresh, frozen, and canned. Always eat your sardines with skin and bones to provide the most calcium. and protein.Unlike other omega-3-rich fish, they are low in mercury and other containments.

Print Baked Oatmeal
Here is a great make ahead breakfast for you or for company. I used wild blueberries in this recipe which you can buy frozen. Wild blueberries are frozen within 24 hours of harvest to lock in their taste and nutrition. Freezing increases the concentration of anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant, in blueberries. Wild blueberries also have 72% more fiber, 33% more anthocyanins, and twice as many antioxidants as regular blueberries.

Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum, or Ocimum tenuiflorum) has roots that run deep in Indian Ayurveda. Its Hindu name, tulsi, translates to “the incomparable one” due to its incredible variety of health and medicinal applications, not just nutritionally — but in mind, body, and spirit. It is an aromatic herb with a peppery, clove-like scent, and is commonly used to treat respiratory issues like bronchitis, congestion, and sinusitis (ii). Because of these applications, preparing the herb as a tea is the most common way to reap its benefits.

Print Shaved Brussels Sprout, Pomegranate and Toasted Hazelnut Salad
Brussels sprouts are named after Brussels, Belgium, where it is believed they were first widely cultivated in the 16th century.Sometimes called mini cabbages, they have appeared on “most hated vegetable”lists due to their potentially bitter flavors caused by sulfur-containing compounds. Overcooking the vegetable, particularly by boiling, will intensify any bitter flavors and unpleasant odors.
