Something Fishy Here
Healthy eating resolutions should make Culinary Thrill Seekers
excited about trying new things and feeling good about healthy foods. Around
the holidays I think about seafood, including cans of smoked oysters and a jar
of very affordable caviar. The mentions below all make mention of sea foodie
goodies. Let’s go fishin’ for flavor:
Lucky Iron Fish – It seems
too easy and too cute. But Lucky Iron Fish has helped villagers with iron
deficiency, which can cause a lot of health issues. Add the little guy to your
cooking pot and the iron gets in your food. He debuted in a pot of rice at my
house. Soups, curries, and hot drinks benefit from his power. Put a fish in
your fish soup! Give me more clever things like this in 2025! Learn more at www.luckyironlife.com
“The Miracle Kidney Cleanse” - Did you get a juicer
for Christmas? Put it to work with formulas for drinks with turmeric, pear,
celery, melon, lemon, ginger, parsley, kale and all that good-for-you stuff.
Lauren Felts compile this book, subtitled “The All-Natural, At-Home Flush to
Purify Your Body. I refer to the long list from Guidelines for Making A Killer
Salad. After your green base, add nutrient-boosting vegetables. Healthy fats
include olives, avocado and hemp seeds. Next is bulk with options of beans and
grains. Odds and ends: capers, kimchi, seaweed. Dressing could include rice
wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey or olive oil. I’m really impressed with
other solid food recipes including Collard Wrap with Hazlenut Pesto. I love
this southern take. Just wrap up your mix into a collard green leaf, like you
would a burrito!
