Jun 13, Three Bean Salad Recipe

Thu, 13 Jun 2013 03:32:50 GMT

This three bean salad recipe is a fabulous salad to take to a party or to put together for company! When you put in the little extra effort it takes to cook the dried beans you are rewarded with an elegant dish that elevates the ordinary to the sublime. What? It's only beans you say? I tell you, beans are so under appreciated! Just make the dish and then let me know how you like it. The secret to making beans sing in my humble opinion is to not overcook them. So...keep tasting them until they are just firm but fully cooked. This is also the secret to making great pasta! The garbanzos will be quite crunchy. They are a nice contrast to the other two varieties which will be soft but flavorful. Then all the ingredients soak up the pungent dressing and voila, you have a really, really great bean salad. And of course it's low glycemic, high fiber and the ultimate lunch time main course. It will keep you full and energized all afternoon...

Jun 5, What About Saturated Fats?

Wed, 05 Jun 2013 21:10:48 GMT

Fats make foods taste good. It's really important to get this right, that is which are the best ones for our health and waistlines, because the bad ones are seriously bad for you! And we need good fats to make our food interesting... I am amazed at all the misinformation there is on this subject. When I started writing this website I believed as probably you do that all saturated fat was bad. We've been told over and over again don't eat butter, fried foods, eggs and of course not too much meat. Even coconut oil had a bad rap because it is a saturated fat. But as I dig into the literature I am finding out that there's much more to it than just saturated fats vs. unsaturated fats. It's true that it's not a good idea to eat too much red meat; however, grass fed beef is far different than commercially grown beef. Beef that's not organic has been fattened up with high glycemic grains (corn) and shot up with hormones and antibiotics, all of which impact your hormone balance and metabolism. Eggs from chickens that have been allowed to range free have more good fatty acids in the eggs. And what about that coconut oil? It turns out that it's an extremely nutritious oil and has medium chained fatty acids which help you to digest and metabolize your food, burning fat more efficiently! Too much meat, even grass fed, is not a good idea and fried foods? Well that depends. If they are cooked in a little olive oil, real butter or coconut oil they are perfectly healthy. Deep fried foods, however, that have been cooked in vegetable oil are probably some of the worst foods you could possibly eat!
