Super Foods RX and "Golden Door Blueberry Bread"
Last week I had a chance to read Super Foods RX written by Steven Pratt M.B and Kathy Matthews. The whole idea, approach, recipes and advices are wonderful.
I had to try and make one of the recipes from the book, I picked:
Golden Door Blueberry Bread
Makes 1 Loaf
1 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
11/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 ripe medium bananas
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 large omega-3 egg
1 large omega -3 egg white
2 tablespoons canola oil
11/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup blueberries, soaked in warm water and drained
Nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt, optional
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray 9×5 -inch loaf pan with vegetable oil spray.
In the large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and all spice. Stir in the whole wheat flour, cornmeal and salt.
In the blender combine the bananas, brown sugar, egg, egg white, canola oil, and buttermilk and process until smooth. Add the orange zest and pulse until just combined. Make a well in the flour mixture. Pour the banana mixture into it and mix until almost incorporated. Add the walnuts and drained blueberries and gently mix into the batter. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 5 minutes.Remove from the oven, invert n a wire rack and cool briefly before slicing.
Serve each slice topped with 1/2 cup scoop of nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt, if desired.
Golden Door Blueberry Bread is very tasty.Texture is nice because of the walnuts and blueberries. Goes well with cup of warm milk or hot tea.
Natural and Organic Ways to Help Your Upset Stomach!
There is a powerful saying “Eat well-be well: Let the foods be your medicine.” Stomach is very complex organ and the whole system needs to be treated with respect in order to function well. Home made meals, organic produce, healthy lifestyle, good night sleep, less stress, water are the things which needs to be in order if we want our digestive system to function well. Whether you have a mild sensitivity to wheat or have been diagnosed with certain condition going gluten-free can ease digestive discomfort and improve your health. Fortunately, newly available gluten-free products can add convenience and variety to a diet that often feels like it’s going against the grain. These are great alternative foods that everybody should try.
Alternative pastas
Whole-food bars
Gluten-free tortillas
Nut and coconut flours
Flex-based crackers
Upset stomach is very uncomfortable felling. Finding the relief for any kind of discomfort linked to the upset stomach is very important. Here are some great ideas for stomach ache:
Mint Tea- This aromatic herb, which proliferates in warm months can do far more than freshen up a table. Not only can meant do wonders for digestion, but it’s oil can also sooth the skin and sweeten the breath. Mint was originally used as a medicinal herb to treat stomach ache and chest pains. Mint tea is a strong diuretic. Mint also aids digestion.
Oat Bran- Oat Bran Hot Cereal is high fiber cereal made from high protein oats. Fantastic breakfast and medicine for stomach. Oat bran is made from oat groats that are ground into a fine oat meal and then combined with some of the outer bran or husk of the oat. This increases the overall fiber content of the oatmeal, and makes it slightly higher in insoluble fiber than rolled or cut products. Oat bran cooks fairly quickly and has a really smooth, creamy consistency, similar to cream of wheat. Oat bran typically has about 6 grams of fiber (3 grams of soluble and 3 grams of insoluble) per serving. Oat bran also contains more protein and slightly more fat.
Rice Water- Rice Water is great aid to control diarrhea. Containing added proteins leftover water from cooked rice can be used as a component in oral rehydration solutions which are used to treat diarrhea, help with shortening their duration and reducing recurrence.
Apple Sauce- Kids and Adults love applesauce and that is a good thing because it has a great deal of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is fantastic medicine for the upset stomach.
Ingredients:
4 to 5 pounds of apples, peeled, cored, quartered
Juice of one lemon
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
Sugar, optional
Directions:
1. Put prepared apples, lemon juice, water and salt into a large pot.
2. Cover and bring to a boil.
3. Once it bowls simmer for about 20 minutes or until apples are soft. The apples will begin to look transparent.
4. Remove from heat.
5. You can put in a food processor or blender to make it smooth.
6. Serve hot or cold and keep leftovers in the refrigerator.
7. This makes about 3 quarts of applesauce.
Overall, healthy lifestyle and good nutrition are the main key for the healthy stomach and the whole mind and body.
