Don't let this happen to you! Here are a list of 10 foods that you definitely need to try this year! For an added bonus - don't just eat these foods, try and cook them yourself!
1. Salmon: Some people are weary of cooking fish at home, but just look for a simple recipe and you will be fine! What's the worst that can happen? You mess it up and have to go get pizza? Big woop.
2. Quinoa: A great base for a main dish or a side with a little added protein for you! Try this recipe, and feel a little fancy tonight:)
3. Huckleberries: Similar to the blueberry and the state fruit of Idaho, huckleberries are a powerful punch of antioxidants to help you fight inflammation and cell damage!
4. Ginger Root: This flavorful root has anti-inflammatory abilities like that of aspirin. Look up a recipe today that requires this yummy life savor.
5. Pineapple: Not only is this one of my favorite fruits, but its versatility far exceeds that of other fruits! Add to a stir fry or a chicken and rice dish for an added punch of Vitamin C.
6. Seaweed: Packed with vitamins and minerals, a seaweed salad would be a great side to any meal....typically served with sushi. Try this easy recipe to start!
7. Whole Wheat Pizza Crust: Grab one of these pre-made pizza crusts and top with pizza sauce, 2% mozzarella cheese, and all your favorite vegetables for a high fiber, fun to cook meal.

Some of these are "out there" but I am willing to try them.
ReplyDeleteI have a great recipe for ground turkey lettuce wraps that calls for root of ginger. I love it!
ReplyDeleteUsing a microplane grater, you can add ginger to almost anything although best in stir frys. Also, regarding salmon, easy recipe:
ReplyDelete1. Marinade salmon fillets in teriyaki for 20 - 30 minutes
2. Slice oranges and lay them in a baking pan
3. Lay salmon fillets on orange slices
4. Put a small stripe of honey on each fillet and spread across evenly (optional)
5. Bake salmon on the oranges at 425 F for 20 - 25 minutes
Delicious! You can throw in brussels sprouts in a pan that have been oiled and salted here as well (they may take a little longer, just wait till they blacken nicely)... fantastic nutrition!
