recipes and some combination foods that are more effective as antioxidant

[Guest guest]

I was going through my Eating Well Magazine and saw some power couples that are

more nutritious when eaten together.

 

broccoli and mustard  (but it says that raw is source of sulforaphane.  Cooking

destroys the enzyme that makes the sulforaphene available to the body).  but

combining with mustard or another raw cruciferous veggie like wasabi or arugula

helps you aboorb it.

 

coffee and sugar - may make you more productive.  Areas of brain associated with

attention works more efficiently than when sipping solo.  If no coffee, try

green tea with a drizzle of honey.

 

Adzuki beans and raspberries - as used in Japanese desserts with raspberries

bump up antioxidant levels by 45 % .  Top a spinach salad with adzukis, for

dessert, dig into fresh raspberries.

 

 

Tumeric and fish - keep cancer cells from multiplying.  Combining the two may

slow tumor growth and spread of a type of breast cancer cells more than when

used separately.  It is the cucumin in tumeric.   Rub salmon or trout with

tumeric or curry (another spice containing tumeric)

Saw on other side of the paper about slimmed down sips and chips.  The chips are

tortilla cut and then baked in oven with spray on both sides of oil and then a

bit of salt. Bake at 375 in iddle and lower racks, rotating the pans half way

through, 14 gto 18 min total.  Then skinny guacamole.  Place 1 diced large

zucchini in microwave safe dish, cover with damp paper towel and microwave til

tender 4-5 min.  Drain in sieve. mash in a bowl and 1 ripe large avocado, 1/4 c

each chopped cilantro and onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 TB lime juice, 1/2

tsp hot sauce, 1/4 tsp salt.  Serving is 1/2 cup.  96 calories.    (8 chips is

130 cal) Chips were 8 corn tillas sprayed with cooking spray and cut in

quarters.  Put on 2 large baking sheets.  That's all of it. 

 

For Margarita instead of rimming glass with sugar, combine 1 TB  each lime zest

and kosher salt on a small plate.  Rub the rims of 4 glasses with lime wedge and

dip in lime salt.  For the mix.  Combine 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, 1 c. seltzer,

6 oz tequila and 3 oz triple Sec in pitcher.   Fill glasses with ice and top

with the mix.

 

I have no idea what the usual mix is for Margarita but this is to take off  some

calories  2/3  c is 181 calories.

P.S.  When I followed 's last web site on youtube I found some great

inside gardening in contianers and with a light and they were really nice.  Had

peppers, lettuces, kale, and they had all their vegetables year round as well.
