Vegan Pasta Dinner Made Fast and Simple

Eat Fabulous: Dinner No. One

Capellini and Tomato sauce made fabulous


As the sky grew dark and dinner was on my mind, I wanted something fast, easy and delicious. I had a hankering for Capellini and all the fixings for dinner.

So I grabbed some Capellini pasta, through it into a pot of water with olive oil and Spike seasoning.

Now for the topper, Italian Tomato Starter Sauce. But still I felt compelled to ad to this puppy. Opening my refrigerator I found a bottle of Corn And Chile Tomato-less Salsa. Perfect, I exclaimed to myself! I used about four tablespoons of this delicious combination of corn, red peppers, onion and a touch of heat. This combo sauce was fabulous. One last touch was needed, so I used four or five tablespoons of Meatless Ground by Yves. This is a good source of protein.

I took a couple of pieces of Rustic Country Sourdough and layered them with Earth Balance organic buttery spread (79% natural Vegetable Oils) toasted them and took a bread plate where I poured Olive oil and Balsamic Vinegar right into the middle of my oil puddle.

Walla Dinner was delicious

After dinner a beautiful walk around the neighborhood and I was ready to settle down for the evening and watch a fabulous movie.

Vegan Green Smoothies Rule

Smoothie for Wednesday

To slim down you need to add nutrition to everyday life. That it! When you put something in your fabulous mouth ask before shoving the food in " is this food packed with properties that will make me more fabulous as it moves through me"? If you get a big yes, then start chewing. If you get a red flag in your mind...stop and put it down.

To day's smoothie was:
Banana
Blueberries (frozen)
Kale

If you were stuck in the fields working all day long and were treated terrible for years, you could do well by eating Kale in your everyday life. The Romans knew it, so why didn't I know it?
Well I do know now and now that plant is in my body. Yahoo.
Who loves you?
I do
Eat fabulous, because it feels good!

The Morning cocktail

This day’s eat fabulous experience


Don’t throw the lemon in without first pealing it. To kick off my fabulous day my smoothie consisted of organic orange, banana, apple and lemon with peel….yuck----never again! Ad some water and ice cubes. Bingo, bongo life just got fabulous.

What’s new is understanding water is okay. I’d previously thought I needed a juice, such as orange juice, Dynamo plus calcium juice or something like these to liquefy the sucker. Nope… just good old fashion water along with these taste fruits.

Second whammy was lemon. Adding a lemon to this morning concoction was fabulous to say the least. The edge it brought to my get your butt going cocktail was a smart addition.

Throw all this into your ordinary blender and now you’ve begun to Eat Fabulous and your brain and body and spirit will do great things today.

Who loves you? Me dang it.

Think Fabulous

Health conscious people desire to get the most nutrition for the least amount of money but for many of us, knowing how to do that can be difficult. I have previously written several articles related to recession eating that outline some strategies you can use. Now, there may be a new tool to help.

A new tool called the Affordable Nutrition Index (ANI) evaluated over 300 foods to assess the nutritional profile compared to cost to create a nutrition-value-per-dollar score. The nutrition value score takes into consideration nine essential nutrients that we should be including in our diet. The key nutrients included are protein, fiber, iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C and E. The score also takes into consideration three key nutrients that are important to limit in our diets, which are saturated fat, added sugars, and sodium. The ANI was introduced to Registered Dietitians at their Food and Nutrition Expo last week.

The U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans were used as a guide for the ANI review and scoring which found that dark colored vegetables provided the best nutrition for the dollar with fruits and vegetable soup following behind as the most affordable nutritious foods. Some other key findings included:

* Carrots, sweet potatoes and broccoli were not only top vegetables but also at the very top of the ANI scale for all foods.

* Oranges and bananas were the top scoring fruits. Raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, grapes, nectarines, and apples also rated high as well.

* Peas, string beans, squash and lettuce are other top picks to get the most nutrition for your dollar whether cooked or fresh.

* Surprisingly, twenty-five Campbell's soups were evaluated with the ANI scale. Low sodium condensed vegetable soup varieties that are certified as heart-healthy by the American Heart Association were also top rating, cost-effective sources of nutrition.

It is unclear how this new ANI tool will be used in the future since it was just revealed. With the new updated Dietary Guidelines due in 2010 and a nation that is looking to eat well on a budget during tough times, I'm sure we will see more with this tool in the coming year.

Washington Post

March 24, 2009


As read in the Los Angeles Times

Washington — Eating red meat increases the chances of dying prematurely, according to a large federal study offering powerful new evidence that a diet that regularly includes steaks, burgers and pork chops is hazardous to your health.

The study of more than 500,000 middle-age and elderly Americans found that those who consumed the equivalent of about a small hamburger every day were more than 30% more likely to die during the 10 years they were followed, mostly from heart disease and cancer. Sausage, cold cuts and other processed meats increased the risk too.

Previous research had found a link between red meat and an increased risk of heart disease and cancer, particularly colorectal cancer, but the new study is the first large examination of the relationship between eating meat and overall mortality.

"The bottom line is, we found an association between red meat and processed meat and an increased risk of mortality," said Rashmi Sinha of the National Cancer Institute, who led the study published Monday in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

In contrast, routine consumption of fish, chicken, turkey and other poultry decreased the risk of death by a small amount, the study found.

Although pork often is promoted as "the other white meat," it is believed to increase the risk for cancer because of its iron content, Sinha said. It is often grouped with red meat in nutritional studies.

"This would be the Rolls-Royce of studies on this topic," said Barry Popkin, a professor of global nutrition at the University of North Carolina, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study. "This is a slam-dunk to say that, 'Yes, indeed, if people want to be healthy and live longer, consume less red and processed meat.' "

There are many explanations for how red meat might be unhealthy: Cooking red meat generates cancer-causing compounds; red meat is also high in saturated fat, which has been associated with breast and colorectal cancer; and meat is high in iron, which also is believed to promote cancer.
