Re: Re: pregnancy nutrition book and Vit. A

[Guest guest]

Has anyone looked at the Brewer Pregnancy diet? It basically says that a

mother should have at least 2 eggs a day, butter, liver once a week, plenty

of protein and salt to taste plus the vegetables and fruits and carbs but

the emphasis is definitely that a pregnant woman needs alot of good protein.

It isn't perfect but I think is the closest that I have seen. I have the

ebook but there is a site. I believe it is www.blueribbonbaby.org Dr.Brewer

did alot of studying malnourished pregnant women and it causing

preeclampsia, low birth weight premature birth etc.. and his recommendations

to fix it are pretty good.

Well if you don't like it, don't eat it. But have you tried different prep

methods? Like liver with bacon and onions? Chicken livers with apples? I've

found if you can vary the delivery, it makes a difference.

HI Dana,

My husband was a liver hater, but has learned to eat liver when I fix it my

way. Here's a recipe off the top of my hat.

Cut the liver into strips about 1/4 inch wide.

Cut a couple strips of bacon into 1 inch pieces fry in pan.

Add a small onion cut in strips and saute until soft.

Push the bacon and onion aside and add a few liver strips, brown them

briefly, flip them, clear a spot in the fry pan and add a few more strips of

liver. You need enough heat to brown the liver quickly, but not burn things.

Your goal is to cook the liver quickly and keep it rare inside. Keep adding

liver and turning things until you don't see much raw liver and it's done.

Serve immediately. Overcooking liver is the best way to ruin it.

Peace,

Kris , gardening in northwest Ohio

Hi Dana,

Re. liver, it's hard to get commercial liver that is really fresh, which is

probably why most people don't like it. It's very perishable. If you can get

very fresh liver from grass-fed animals, you may notice a big difference in

taste. I also recommend chopped liver, or pate (maybe calling it pate makes it

taste better :-)
