12 Runners Superfoods: Energy - Nutrition. Tinned fish recipes | Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall. It will be a sorry day when I turn to my larder and discover that there is not a single tin of fish to be found therein. But I guess if we continue to empty the seas at the rate we are doing, it may happen. The thing is, the kind of small, oily fish that fit so obligingly in tins and jars are the very species that, if managed properly and fished responsibly, could continue to feed us sustainably well into the future. If however, we continue to vacuum them up by the millions of tonnes, and process more than half of them into animal feed and fertilisers, then they won't be around for long. By far the most popular canned fish flesh in this country is tuna, of course, though for me it is a fish whose flavour and texture can often be disappointing and whose provenance is riddled with alarming environmental worries. All tuna stocks are under pressure and some are desperately over-exploited.

Sardines and mackerel can be a very sustainable choice. Tinned mackerel pate with quick-pickled onions. (the best) VEGAN BERRY MUFFINS. Healthy Living Class, Green Drinks, Sweet Eats, and Salads! Last night I taught a healthy living class. And like always, as the guest were arriving, I was behind on everything… I had friends making Peanut Butter Pong Balls(made with almond butter instead), made my dad run to McDonalds to get some ‘samples’ (of no-no’s), and I was busy making sure things were set and ready to go…Oh and repeating in my mind the things I was going to say.

I decided to do a display table of ingredients I love that I think everybody should include in their daily eating lifestyle. Each had a little note card with info about the ingredient. That, and I figured I would most likely forget to talk about them…so they were there for people to look at. My mom asked why some of the notecards read, “Super Sexy” and “Totally Awesome” in which I basically replied, “That’s how I talk Maaaaoooommm DUH.” When it came time, everybody crowded around me waiting to hear what I had to say. (This is a GREAT picture of me!) “So these are Chia Seeds, they are full of Omega-3′s! What the? Awe. 1. Lentils with chorizo & red wine recipe. Seven-cup muesli recipe. No-bake energy bites.

Guest Bloggers Emma and Henry make homemade Oreos - Sweet Potato Chronicles. I got to know Emma Red­ding­ton through her amaz­ing site The Mar­ion House Book. The first time I checked it out (on the advice of the always spot on Vit­a­min Daily girls) I real­ized that an hour had dis­ap­peared while I devoured all the envy-making house tours, design fea­tures and food posts. Don't say I didn't warn you! I sent Emma a lit­tle love note (since we've started SPC I find myself doing this more) and we got to email­ing. Even though she's the busiest of bees — a design busi­ness, a web­site, oh, and a son! The moment I saw these two words, Home­made Oreos, I knew I had to give this recipe a try.

The Secret to a Lean Belly! Four-Cheese Pasta With Cauliflower: Recipes. Cannellini Bean Stew with Fresh Herbs. Recently, I needed a vegetarian centerpiece for an Italian-themed meal (my own birthday dinner, as a matter of fact!). Beans might not be the first thing that comes to your mind, but these cannellini beans were special enough to impress all the meat lovers at the table. It all starts with the beans you use. I’m sure regular old store-bought cannellini beans would be fine here, but Rancho Gordo’s amazing Runner Cannellini beans took this dish to a higher level of deliciousness.

They’re huge, with a mild, earthy flavor and soft but substantial texture. I wanted to infuse the dish with the flavors of fresh herbs, so I added sage, thyme and rosemary. I’m sure fresh marjoram and Italian parsley would also be great. The dish comes out slightly differently depending on the tomatoes you use. So, how to serve these beans? Preheat the oven to 350. Serves 8. Soups & Stews. Hearty Lentil Soup « Will Run for Food.

It has been a very rainy day here in New Hampshire! I don’t think the sun peaked out all day. After work I just wasn’t in the mood to run and the husband got home from work early so I decided to skip the workout today to spend some time with him. I planned to go grocery shopping too but that didn’t happen either! :) A very productive day, I must say. ;) I browsed on-line for a recipe using lentils since I bought a bag the other week. This soup is amazing! Hearty Lentil Soup Recipe courtesy of Martha Stewart Ingredients In a large pot or dutch oven (5 quart), cook bacon over medium-low heat until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Add onion and carrots; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add lentils, thyme, broth, and 2 cups water. Stir in vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
