Okay, I’m no cook…That is for sure!!! So my idea of great meals are one’s that you can prepare quick enough to not eat it all before it is done being prepared!!! Here are two quick, easy, healthy, and very tasty ideas: Terrific Tuna (No cooking needed) 1. Starkist Hickory smoked tuna, 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped green pepper, capers, 1/2 fresh avocado, 1/2 cup of crunchy noodles, black or green olives, 1 can of chopped hearts of palm. Mix it together and you’ve got one fine fillin’ healthy meal!!! Perfect Puntanesca Pasta (Cooking needed) 2. take any 4 big tomatoes and chop’em up, olive oil, 1 onion, 1/2 clove of fresh garlic, several basil leaves, black olives, 1 green pepper, 1 red pepper, capers. Cook on a low flame till tomatoes are fully dissolved into a sauce, add the pasta and you’ve got a meal that momma would be proud!!!

Mommies out there, rejoice!!! Here are some sure proof ways to get your kids eating more vegetables. Don’t just make a salad with lettuce, tomato, and carrots…..boring!!! Make your salads come alive for the little ones with red peppers, avocado, chick peas, black beans, shredded cheese, hearts of palm, olives, peanuts, raisins, pine nuts, almonds, mandarin oranges….Now we’re talking. If you don’t know if your children will eat these things, try a couple of these suggestions at a time rather than all at once. Try as many combinations as you can think of. The idea is to make your salads filling, fun, and exciting
Here’s another sure fire way to get your kids fired up about veggies:
Grill or bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes: Carrots, Broccoli, Red or Green Peppers, Sliced Potatoes by brushing them with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and/or garlic. You can choose any vegetable you like and keep them around as afterschool snacks for the kids and I’m sure you and your husband will love them too!!!!

I never thought that I would live to hear someone talk about the link between food and disease on national television. So I thought I was dreaming when I turned on “The Today Show” and heard nutritonist Joy Bauer, author of “The 90/10 Weight Loss Cookbook,” preach the gospel of fighting inflammation with bromelain from pineapple and the heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids in Salmon in these awesome recipes and their ingredients. Pineapple Cheese Pancakes; Makes 15 pancakes Super foods ingredients: Low-fat cottage cheese provides ample calcium, which helps maintain strong bones and manage high blood pressure. Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which has been shown to reduce muscle and tissue inflammation and may also aid in digestion. I was fortunate to be exposed to the biochemical pathways of the essential fatty acids, bromelain, tumeric, ginger some 14 years ago. Its so nice to see it has only taken this long to become mainstream!!!!! Here’s another great book or the book of books on omega-3 fats as well as recipes. The Omega Diet: The Lifesaving Nutritional Program Based on the Diet of the Island of Crete (Paperback)by Artemis P. Simopoulos, Jo Robinson
