Top 10 Links of the Week 7 9 10 – 7 15 10
Sweet readers! I apologize for being kind of AWOL this week. (No Wednesday article! Ack.) Wedding planning is starting to really kick in, and our world is slowly being consumed by strapless bras and canapés. How did people do this before Excel spreadsheets?
Still, it’s a strong round of links this week with various tutorials, a coupla neat new sites, and a dashing finale. (Hint: The Old Spice Guy is involved.) Enjoy!
1) Wise Bread: 50 Healthy Foods for Under $1 a Pound
Wise Bread wins. They just do. (Pic from Natalie Dee.)
2) Washington Post: Kentucky town of Manchester illustrates national obesity crisis
If you’ve ever wondered how obesity affects and why it prevails in small towns, this moving, in-depth account of Manchester is the piece to read. The line about the intersection will tell you just about everything.
3) Casual Kitchen: Knowing When Not to Be a Food Snob
Sadly, the anonymity of the interwebs often means we foodies come off like raving packs of Comic Book Guys. (“Worst. Recipe. Ever.”) When do we hold back? When is it okay to unleash our inner elitists? Dan uses a fairly recent piece by Ratio guy Michael Ruhlman to discuss.
4) Surviving and Thriving: A big meal plus leftovers for less than a buck. (Hint: Let others do most of the cooking.)
Donna Freedman waxes poetic about potlucks. Most helpful? This gem: “Deviled eggs are a big hit because everybody loves them and nobody likes to make them.” Truer words, never spoken.
5) Urlesque: Annoying Cooks on the Web – a Field Guide
The title is a tad misleading; it should really be “15 Reviewers You Meet on Community Recipe Sites.” My favorite, and the one that makes me most crazy: The Ingredient Switcher. To wit: “I hated this recipe! I followed the instructions to a T but instead of white flour I used cornstarch and I swapped the honey for chili powder. It was terrible"
6) New York Times: Hungry Girl Offer a Real Take on Diet Foods
NYT’s (first?) profile of Lisa Lillien echoes a running theme in almost all HG articles. The author is clearly wary of her endorsements and use of processed foods, but has to maintain a respectful tone out of deference to Lillien’s bagillions of followers. Despite that, it’s still one of the better Hungry Girl pieces I’ve seen.
7) The Kitchn
10 Things to Eat When You Return From Vacation
Quick, Easy Ways to Get More Vegetables Into My Diet?
You think you’re so cool, don’t you, The Kitchn? “Blah blah blah here’s another positive, incredibly helpful and thoughtful post with a bunch of pictures that put Ansel Adams to shame blah blah blah.” Yeah, we getcher point. Punks.
8) Kitchen Myths
Oodles of Alton Brown-type cooking myths, busted in no-nonsense style, presented ing Internet-circa-1996 style. I give this three Bill Clinton heads out of a possible four.
9) Marketplace: Farmers Market Guide – 20 Cities, Coast to Coast
Ooo … handy!
10) Bargaineering: How to Dry Fresh Herbs
Just in time! We inherited our friends’ CSA shipment this week, and it came with the most enormous bag of tarragon you’ve ever seen in your whole puff. Anyone for some Tarragon Pops?
HONORABLE MENTION
Jim’s Pancakes
Oh, yay! It’s amazing what you can do with a little food dye and some hungry children.

Saturday Throwback Frugal Food Hacks 10 Tricks to Simplifying Online Recipe Searches
Earlier this year, Casual Kitchen (my new favorite blog) posted a stupendous essay called How to Tell if a Recipe is Worth Cooking with Five Easy Questions. A phenomenal guide to recipe analysis, CK’s tips are invaluable whether you’re reading a cookbook, browsing the web, or picking through Grandma’s age-old dessert file. The post was so good, in fact, it inspired me to write a sequel of sorts – one focusing on simplifying online recipe searches.See, combing the web for recipes can be a tricky venture. Between quasi-independent monsters (AllRecipes, Chow), corporate mega-sites (Cooking Light, Food Network) and neato personal blogs (The Wednesday Chef, A Good American Wife), there are literally millions of dishes to pick through. As taste is totally subjective, and reviews range from right-on to catastrophically misleading, there’s no easy way to discern the bad from the good.
Since I tend to take most of my food from the ‘net, I had to learn how to pick through the labyrinth quickly and efficiently. What follows, then, are a few self-spawned tricks to navigating the endless internet recipe abyss – guidelines to help you choose the cheapest, healthiest, er, good-est recipes ever. Hope they help. (And feel free to add more in the comments section!)
1) Be specific. Whether you’re googling a Coq au Vin or trying to pinpoint a butternut squash soup on AllRecipes, specificity is key to finding exactly what you want. Lots of the larger sites have some method of narrowing down the parameters of your hunt – an Ingredient Search, a Collection Search, or some way of marking off categories (Healthy, Course, etc.). If you’re starting big with Google or Yahoo, try to enter particular terms – the ingredient list, the preparation method, “light,” etc. The more specific you are, the more accurate the results will be.
2) Check the number of reviews. A recipe with 1,436 reviews and 1228 comments is infinitely less scary than one with two reviews and no comments. A large pool of reviewers means the dish has been around awhile, and it’s at least vaguely working. Helpful serving suggestions and/or useful substitutions are likely included within the comments. (This isnt to say, "Dont try new things," but rather, "If youre looking for a sure bet...")
3) Choose a recipe with a high rating. I find regular ol’ people (as opposed to high-falutin’ pro critics) are much more lenient on food. They’re just as likely to give five stars to a merely edible dish as they are to a meal that really knocks their socks off. So, when sampling from the AllRecipes, Epicurious, or Food Network sites, try not to use a recipe that has less than four stars / three forks. If you’re entertaining, make sure it has at least 4-1/2 (but it’s never a good idea to try a dish for the first time on guests, anyway).
4) Follow all Casual Kitchen’s advice. Once you find a tantalizing-looking recipe, read through it. Make sure you like and/or are willing to experiment with all the ingredients. Then, check to see if each one is readily available, either on hand or at the local store. After that, ensure you’re comfortable with both the prep time and the techniques employed. Finally, consider price and ease of big-batch cooking. If your potential meal hits all of these qualifications, it’s probably a winner.
5) Take suggestions to heart. If two-thirds of 254 reviewers think the sugar should be halved in a certain dish, go for it. Recipe writers can make mistakes sometimes, and reviewers are just the folks to correct them. But remember – majority rules. If Megdoodle from Monkeybutt, Kentucky likes quadruple the amount of red pepper in her chili, but 200 other commenters say the spice is just right, side with the 200.
6) Read/consider the available nutrition information. No one wants to serve their kids a lard casserole. When you’re scouting recipes, check to see if the calorie, fat, and fiber readings are included on the webpage. AllRecipes and Cooking Light do this consistently now, and you can occasionally find them on Epicurious and Food Network (with Ellie Krieger and Kathleen Daelemans, in particular). If dietary info isn’t available, try scanning the list for key words – “stick of butter,” “1/4 olive oil,” “fried,” etc. It’ll do your health better in the long run.
7) Stick with a chef you trust. If you’re a frequenter of the Food Network site or a big fan of Lidia Bastianich’s online collection, hang out with her cuisine for awhile. Make her classics. Work your way through her oeuvre. The same goes for personal blogs. I love and dream of emulating Orangette’s writing and cooking skill, and her food photos are absolutely to die for. Yet, I’ve tried a few dishes from her site (Butternut Squash Puree, Chickpea Salad, and Green Beans) and I don’t think our palates quite match up. On the flip side, Deb from Words to Eat By totally works for me. Her Amazon Cake, Pumpkin Bread, and alternate glaze for Baoot Contessa’s Turkey Meatloaf put me squarely in her culinary corner. The moral is: all in all, finding a cook you trust is worth his/her weight in meatballs. That said …
8) Maybe avoid Sandra Lee (and other cooks who use too many prepared ingredients in their recipes). Um ... Kwanzaa Cake. Nuff said.
9) Link baby, link. Cooking bloggers, in particular, are excellent sources for … yep, finding other excellent cooking bloggers. Once you find a chef/site you like, scroll through their link list. Odds are, someone just as awesome lies at the other of that URL.
10) Bank recipes. Find a recipe you like, but don’t have the ingredients on hand right that very minute? Start a Word file. Over time, you’ll amass dozens of dishes that caught your eye at one time or another, and it’ll make for easier rummaging down the line.
Have more ideas or suggestions for simplifying online recipe searches? The (comment) lines are open! We’re waiting for your

10 tips to slim without the gym
How to get the body you want without a gym.
Finding your dream perfect body measurements is not an easy or straightforward task. At the end of the day, the only opinion about how you look that really matters is yours. Even if you have a goal that you feel comfortable with, it can be a grueling task to achieve. Although the gym is great for some people, it just doesnt work for others.
If youre very far from your ideal numbers, fed up of paying a huge gym fee and seeing no results? If you want to get slim and don’t want to use a gym, then these top 10 tips are perfect for you. You never knew, these 10 steps might help you to discover the all new slimmer you.

1) Have some fun with your equipment
If you are spending hours of your week silently running on a treadmill and doing your routine gym workouts and feel annoyed no fun, change it exercise doesnt have to be like that. If you get creative and have fun with your exercise you’ll find that you will be more motivated to stick at it and do more, which in turn will help you get slim and ditch the gym.

2) Don’t cut dairy foods
A research study conducted in Australia suggest that the protein levels in dairy products may help people feel fuller for longer and theore make them less likely to snack on calorific foods.
Although the high levels of fat in dairy products make those who want to get slim without hitting the gym wary, it turns out that eating cheese, milk and other dairy products actually promotes weight loss.
3) Make Variations often
Always try to eat new, healthy foods on a weekly basis and mix up what you eat. You should also do a variety of exercise, like running, dancing, Pilates and skipping.
If you find yourself regularly going on health kicks only to find that in a few weeks or months time youve gone back to your old, unhealthy ways the likelihood is youve become bored. Doing the same exercise and eating the same foods is dull and even the most disciplined of people would struggle to maintain their new regime. So try to keep the excitement alive and make variations in your routine regularly.
4) Go join a club
Clubs are great because they’re social, they typically have equipment to lend to you and they are great for boosting people’s motivation.
If you want to slim without the gym then you might benefit from joining a club. Before joining a club you need to first work out what sport suits you.
If you like being in a team you could join a hockey club or a netball club. If you like working solo then a running, canoe or climbing club might be more suited to you. Many clubs typically offer beginners trail sessions and these will typically be free of charge, so always test out the club before you pay for membership
5) Reward yourself with a treat in the week
Studies have found that this is true and that people who follow extremely healthy diets during the week actually lose weight more slowly compared to those who eat reasonably healthily all week. Theore if you want to slim without the gym, have a treat now and then.
So, when you’re super strict with yourself during the week it can be easy to let the rules from the week slip when the weekend arrives.
6) Go shopping
If you get that shopping-guilt almost all women feel when they wander into a store then don’t panic or if you feel that your wifes shopping is scissoring your pocket just remember the money you saved from the gym can go towards the new dress or new pair of boots.
It is thought that the average woman burns a whopping 48,000 calories a year from shopping alone, that works out at around 385 calories per week.
7) Put in some liquids before you eat If you want to slim without the gym you should also try having a light soup before eating. This light course will help fill you up, yet is relatively low in calories. Having soup before your main course will also help you to stop yourself from overeating.
What do you do before a meal? Wash your hands and scout out a good TV show to watch during your meal? Well, although we think you should definitely still wash your hands before you eat and if you dont have a soup to gulp in, just take a glass of plain water before you start to eat.
8) Eat before you exercise
This is very important if you want to slim down because eating an hour before exercise ensures that you perform to full capacity during your training session and theore you will burn a greater amount of fat.
9) Learn Yoga
It may be best to go to a yoga class or get a yoga DVD if you’re not sure what you are doing, but remember the perfect pose we may see others doing might be a long way from what our own body can currently achieve.Grab your yoga mat and do some yoga poses three or four times a week. Yoga helps to sculpt your body and helps you get slim without the gym.
10) Dont Skip the Skipping
If you think your skipping days are over?
Think again.
Skipping isnt just for those pretty lill girls. Even the champ athletes and boxers, who are arguably some of the fittest athletes around, regularly perform skipping drills.
Skipping is in fact a great exercise and there are lots of benefits. To make sure that your rope is the correct length for your height, stand on the middle of the rope and pull the handles upwards until the rope is taut. The handles should line up with the middle of your chest.

10 Dangers of Sugar to health
10 Dangers of Sugar to health - Excessive sugar consumption can promote weight loss. It was indeed clear. But there are many other threats to the health of the bodys sugar. What is it? Check out more as reported by the Huffington Post following.
Heart
A recent study says that eating too much sugar is able to interfere with the mechanism of the heart in pumping blood. So if it is left unchecked, the sugar is the same as increasing the risk of heart failure.
Fat in the abdomen
Cases of obesity is increasing because many people live unhealthy lifestyles, one of which is excessive sugar consumption. Sugar was acting as one of the main causes of fat piled in waist circumference and abdominal.
Silent killer
Not just salt and high blood pressure that can kill silently, sugar is the same. Because when people are overweight due to sugar, most of them consider it reasonable. In fact, if left unchecked, there are many diseases that threaten.
Cancer
Consumption of high amounts of sugar equal to the chance of survival is relatively low for people with cancer, especially breast cancer and colon cancer.
Addiction
Properties of sugar so bad, about the same as alcohol can make a person addicted. When sugar left, addicts will continue to feel hungry and want to eat sugar again.
Heart
Another study last year also proved that sugar and alcohol have the same effects to the liver, which are toxic. Liver function is impaired and could even damage caused by excessive sugar consumption.
Brain
Another danger to the health of sugar the body can be seen from the condition of the brain. A study in 2009 also proved that excessive sugar consumption is closely related to the aging of cells in the brain.
Hidden
Some of the food does not have a sweet taste, like ketchup to bread. But apparently the sugar may be hiding in it. Theore, the consumption of food should always be considered.
Age
Approximately 180,000 deaths in the world due to the consumption of sweetened thought, according to new research. No wonder, because sugar is associated with the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
Diabetes

The 10 Cheapest Healthiest Foods Money Can Buy
Whether you’re broke and waiting for the next paycheck, or simply trying to cut back on your grocery bill, it’s vital to choose foods that give you the healthiest bang for your hard-earned buck.
These ten foods do just that. They’re nutritional powerhouses for pennies on the dollar. Many could be considered superfoods, and have long been staples of frugal households. I included almost all of them (sorry, lentils) for CHGs $25 Challenge, and you’ll see that Hillbilly Housewife uses quite a few in her famous $45 Emergency Menu, as well.
To compile the final list, there were three main criteria. Each food is:
Of course, your opinion on some of these foods (particularly the first) might differ, and I’d love to hear what you would have included instead. But first, before we get started, two quick notes:
BANANAS
Are there better-rounded fruits? Absolutely. Berries will single-handedly protect you from every known disease and fight off communism. But they are inordinately pricey little buggers (especially out of season), and for the money, don’t compare to a good ol’ Cavendish banana. Lesson: Always listen to the monkeys.
Serving size: One large (5oz) banana.
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost: $0.33 each
Good source of: Fiber (14% of a 2000-calorie diet), Vitamin C (20%), Vitamin B6 (25%), Potassium (14%), Manganese (18%)
Suggested recipe: Three-Ingredient Banana, Honey, and Peanut Butter Ice Cream
BEANS
We’ve discussed beans ad nauseum here on CHG, and for good reason: there are fewer cheaper sources of protein and fiber found on Earth. (Maybe Mars?) Their mutability means you can pack them into just about any recipe, and with a range of flavors and sizes, everyone’s palate will be equally pleased. Plus: hilarious farting.
Serving size: Half a cup of cooked black beans.
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost, canned: $0.21 per serving ($0.75/15oz can)
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost, dried: $0.15 per serving ($1.50/1lb bag)
Good source of: Fiber (30% of a 2000-calorie diet), Iron (10%), Protein (15%), Thiamin (14%), Folate (32%), Magnesium (15%), Phosphorus (12%), Manganese (19%)
Suggested recipe: Black Bean Soup with a Fried Egg on Top
CANNED TOMATOES
Canned tomatoes are here not as a snack or a stand-alone food, but an ingredient. Simply, they’re the basis for innumerable recipes across countless cuisines; sauces, soups, stews, and chilis wouldn’t exist was it not for the humble tomato. And yeah, if you’re the type to dig in a can of Progresso with a spoon, that’s okay too.
Serving size: One cup canned whole peeled tomatoes
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost: $0.48 per serving ($1.67/28oz can)
Good source of: Fiber (10% of a 2000-calorie diet), Vitamin C (37%), Iron (13%), Vitamin B6 (13%), Potassium (13%), Sodium (14%)
Suggested recipe: Tomato and Bread Soup
CARROTS
Bugs Bunny was on to something. But while carrots can be eaten raw to great merriment, they’re also excellent roasted, braised, in soups, and mixed with other foods. Hint: for snacking purposes, skip the bags of baby carrots ($1.50), buy a pound of full growns ($0.66), and chop ‘em up yourself. You save $0.84 every time.
Serving size: One cup raw carrot sticks.
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost: $0.13 per serving ($0.50/lb)
Good source of: Fiber (14% of a USDA 2000-calorie diet), Vitamin A (408%), Vitamin C (12%), Vitamin K (20%), Potassium (11%)
Suggested recipe: Honey-glazed Roasted Carrots
FROZEN SPINACH
Apparently, Popeye was on to something, too. (What is it with these cartoon characters?) Spinach is just about the healthiest food you can buy, and it’s easy to sneak little bits into a plethora of different dishes. Here, I’m going for frozen spinach over fresh for two reasons. First, it’s generally cheaper, and you can find better sales. Second, it takes up less space. For those of us with limited refrigerator storage, that’s important.
Serving size: Five ounces unprepared frozen spinach.
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost: $0.50 per serving ($1.00/10oz bag)
Good source of: Fiber (16% of a 2000-calorie diet), Vitamin A (333%), Vitamin C (13%), Calcium (18%), Iron (15%), Protein (10-11%), Vitamin K (660%), Vitamin E (20%), Riboflavin (18%), Vitamin B6 (12%), Folate (51%), Magnesium (26%),. Manganese (50%), Copper (10%), Potassium (14%), Selenium (112%)
Suggested recipe: Italian White Bean and Spinach Soup
LENTILS
Full disclosure: I knew lentils were good for you, but didn’t have any idea HOW good until researching this piece. And $0.11 per serving? My god. No wonder they’re eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner around the world.
Serving size: One-quarter cup of lentils, unprepared.
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost: $0.11 per serving ($0.79/1lb bag)
Good source of: Fiber (58% of a 2000-calorie diet), Iron (20%), Protein (25%), Thiamin (28%), Vitamin B6 (13%), Folate (57%), Pantothenic Acid (10%), Magnesium (14%), Phosphorus (22%), Potassium (13%), Zinc (15%), Copper (12%), Manganese (32%)
Suggested recipe: Red Lentil Soup with Lemon
OATMEAL
Here’s a riddle: what comes in a can, goes in a muffin, or can be boiled with raisins? (If you said “bunnies,” you are sick in the head.) It’s oatmeal, folks! High in fiber and all kinds of exciting minerals, it’s appropriate for every meal. Combine it with sweeter flavors for breakfast, or soy sauce and scallions for a strangely delicious lunch.
Serving size: Half a cup unprepared old-fashioned rolled oats:
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost: $0.12 per serving ($3.69/42oz canister)
Good source of: Fiber (16% of a 2000-calorie diet), Protein (10%), Thiamin (12%), Iron (10%), Magnesium (14%), Phosphorus (11%), Zinc (10%), Manganese (73%), Selenium (16%)
Suggested recipe: Banana Oatmeal Muffins
PEANUT BUTTER
Throughout childhood, peanut butter was as universal as Sesame Street and possibly even my mother. Even today, spooning some out of the jar is a good time, and adding a dollop into stew or oatmeal positively feels like a treat. And though PB is high in fat, it’s a good kind.
Serving size: Two tablespoons chunky peanut butter.
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost: $0.15 per serving ($2.39/18oz jar)
Good source of: Calories (9% of a 2000 calorie diet), fat (25%), fiber (10%), protein (15%, Niacin (22%), vitamin E (10%), Manganese (29%), phosphorus (10%), Magnesium (13%)
Suggested recipe: Indonesian Bean Stew
PEAS
Yes, peas.
Serving size: Half a cup frozen peas, unprepared
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost: $0.23 per serving ($3.00/2lb bag)
Good source of: Fiber (12% of a 2000-calorie diet), Vitamin A (22%), Vitamin C (20%), Vitamin K (23%), Thiamin (11%), Manganese (11%)
Suggested recipe: Easy Pea Soup
SWEET POTATOES
Rounding out the list, it’s the tastiest of all natural starches: the sweet potato (or yam, if you’re feeling semantic). Sweet potatoes have all the benefits and cooking versatility of regular potatoes, plus lots of fiber, a metric ton of Vitamin A, and an alluring orange color. Enter their world, and you will never want to leave.
Serving size: One cup cubed (about 4.75 oz).
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost: $0.50 per potato
Good Source of: Fiber (16% of 2000-calorie diet), Vitamin A (377%), Vitamin B6 (14%), Potassium (13%), Copper (10%), Manganese (17%)
Suggested recipe: Sweet Potato and Chickpea Puree
Readers, what do you think of the list? What would you add? What would you leave off? The comment section is ready and waiting.

These ten foods do just that. They’re nutritional powerhouses for pennies on the dollar. Many could be considered superfoods, and have long been staples of frugal households. I included almost all of them (sorry, lentils) for CHGs $25 Challenge, and you’ll see that Hillbilly Housewife uses quite a few in her famous $45 Emergency Menu, as well.
To compile the final list, there were three main criteria. Each food is:
- Versatile. It can be eaten on it own or used as an ingredient in other dishes.
- Inexpensive. A serving will cost a few dimes or nickels.
- Nutritious. It packs high percentages of vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, and/or calories. (Note: To be totally honest, some important, but fairly obscure minerals are included here. Manganese? I thought it was a capital in Southeast Asia. It is not, and oatmeal has 147% of the USDA-recommended daily allowance.)
Of course, your opinion on some of these foods (particularly the first) might differ, and I’d love to hear what you would have included instead. But first, before we get started, two quick notes:
- All prices are the lowest available from Peapod (Stop & Shop) on 4/6/10.
- All nutrition data comes from, uh, Nutrition Data and is approximate. Serving sizes are noted.
BANANASAre there better-rounded fruits? Absolutely. Berries will single-handedly protect you from every known disease and fight off communism. But they are inordinately pricey little buggers (especially out of season), and for the money, don’t compare to a good ol’ Cavendish banana. Lesson: Always listen to the monkeys.
Serving size: One large (5oz) banana.
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost: $0.33 each
Good source of: Fiber (14% of a 2000-calorie diet), Vitamin C (20%), Vitamin B6 (25%), Potassium (14%), Manganese (18%)
Suggested recipe: Three-Ingredient Banana, Honey, and Peanut Butter Ice Cream
BEANS
We’ve discussed beans ad nauseum here on CHG, and for good reason: there are fewer cheaper sources of protein and fiber found on Earth. (Maybe Mars?) Their mutability means you can pack them into just about any recipe, and with a range of flavors and sizes, everyone’s palate will be equally pleased. Plus: hilarious farting.
Serving size: Half a cup of cooked black beans.
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost, canned: $0.21 per serving ($0.75/15oz can)
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost, dried: $0.15 per serving ($1.50/1lb bag)
Good source of: Fiber (30% of a 2000-calorie diet), Iron (10%), Protein (15%), Thiamin (14%), Folate (32%), Magnesium (15%), Phosphorus (12%), Manganese (19%)
Suggested recipe: Black Bean Soup with a Fried Egg on Top
CANNED TOMATOESCanned tomatoes are here not as a snack or a stand-alone food, but an ingredient. Simply, they’re the basis for innumerable recipes across countless cuisines; sauces, soups, stews, and chilis wouldn’t exist was it not for the humble tomato. And yeah, if you’re the type to dig in a can of Progresso with a spoon, that’s okay too.
Serving size: One cup canned whole peeled tomatoes
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost: $0.48 per serving ($1.67/28oz can)
Good source of: Fiber (10% of a 2000-calorie diet), Vitamin C (37%), Iron (13%), Vitamin B6 (13%), Potassium (13%), Sodium (14%)
Suggested recipe: Tomato and Bread Soup
CARROTS
Bugs Bunny was on to something. But while carrots can be eaten raw to great merriment, they’re also excellent roasted, braised, in soups, and mixed with other foods. Hint: for snacking purposes, skip the bags of baby carrots ($1.50), buy a pound of full growns ($0.66), and chop ‘em up yourself. You save $0.84 every time.
Serving size: One cup raw carrot sticks.
Peapod/Stop & Shop cost: $0.13 per serving ($0.50/lb)
Good source of: Fiber (14% of a USDA 2000-calorie diet), Vitamin A (408%), Vitamin C (12%), Vitamin K (20%), Potassium (11%)
Suggested recipe: Honey-glazed Roasted Carrots
FROZEN SPINACHApparently, Popeye was on to something, too. (What is it with these cartoon characters?) Spinach is just about the healthiest food you can buy, and it’s easy to sneak little bits into a plethora of different dishes. Here, I’m going for frozen spinach over fresh for two reasons.

Top Ten Links of the Week 7 31 10 – 8 5 10
Today, its lots of righteous indignation, a little Homer Simpson, and a kitteh who vastly overestimates his jumping skills.
1) Consumerist: This is What You Eat
Neatorama: Average Daily Food Intake of Homer Simpson
Ever wonder what your normal, everyday American eats in a full year? This colorful, easy-to-read graphic breaks it down. Somewhat sadly, we consume almost as much dairy as we do produce. Somewhat happily, we scarf much less floor pie than Homer Simpson.
2) Salon: Why is America So Fixed on Food Fads?
Fantastic exploration of the links between U.S. food fads (Cakeballs! Bahn Mi! Pork belly!) and our “frontier mentality,” a mix of breaking immigrant traditions and embracing scientific developments. Another great piece by Riddhi Shah, who is quickly becoming a favorite around here.
3) Washington Post: Michelle Obama – A Food Bill We Need
MObama argues for the passage of the Child Nutrition Bill, a major step in addressing the obesity problem amongst kids. How can anyone can be opposed to this? (I’m looking at you, Laura Ingraham.) Healthier kids = good thing.
4) stonesoup: The Minimalist Guide to Cooking With Herbs
Ooo! It’s Herbs 101, including a guide to common varieties, substitutes, preparation, and storage. Very handy for rosemary lovers. (And, coincidentally, Rosemary Clooney lovers.)
5) Salon: Does High Fructose Corn Syrup Cause Cancer?
In which Francis Lam argues (with Marion Nestle’s backup) that it’s not necessarily the kinds of sugar we consume, but the quantities in which we consume them. Empty calories are empty calories the world over, it turns out.
6) The Atlantic Food: The Combo Meal Mindset
Lest we forget the restaurant industry is, in fact, a luxury business (so to speak), Hank Cardello reminds us: “[It] cannot be expected to lead the charge to slim down America.”
7) Wall Street Journal: Michael Pollan Explains the Math of Buying $8 Eggs
Yeah, it’s another Pollan interview. But this one’s worth the read! I promise! The Big Man of Berkeley lays out his own eating and shopping habits, highlighting some good buying strategies along the way. Peaches!
8) Chicago Tribune: Grains make gains - Wheat surpasses white in sliced bread sales
Yay! Whole wheat products are great! Right?
9) Consumerist: Whole Grain Wheat Things Are No Healthier Than Regular Ones
Oh, wait. Nope.
10) Daily Mail UK: Junk food starts allergies - Western high-fat diets are blamed for surge in illnesses
Hey! Scientists “found evidence that industrialised Western diets high in red meat, sugar and fat lowered the numbers of healthy bacteria in our guts,” and contributed to the skyrocketing allergy rate among first-world countries. Cue sad trombone.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
The Kitchn: 13 Ways to Use Cucumbers
They’re here! They’re on sale! They’re meant for more than salads!
Money Saving Mom: Credit Cards Hurt More Than Just Your Own Personal Finances
I had no idea a small charge cost businesses money to process. Interesting stuff.
Slashfood: Lunch Ladies Go to Summer School
Your kids’ cafeteria food is about to get way better, with pro chefs staging lunch lady boot camps all over the country. Hairnets, unite!
Village Voice: What I Eat - Around the World in 80 Diets
A few years ago, Time Magazine had a fantastic slideshow called What the World Eats, based on a book by the same name. Now, the authors are coming out with another book, called Around the World in 80 Diets, and it looks like it will be just as neato. The Voice piece is a solid summary of the contents therein.

Top 10 Links of the Week 7 2 10 – 7 8 10
This week, its lots of pretty pictures, a gaggle of perspectives on a failed Soda Tax, and two very off-the-beaten-path takes on vegetarianism. Excelsior!
1) Dark Roasted Blend
Kitchen Appliances That Bite
Spectacularly Creative Ads, Issue 13
I loathe the overuse of “amazing,” but Dark Roasted Blend’s image roundups always merit the word. The first comp is full of cool, newfangled cooking equipment, while the second is another installation in a running series of ads. Both are totally worth the 15-minute coffee break.
2) Tip Hero: Little Known Uses for Fruit Peels, Shells, and Seeds
Holy moly! My fellow frugal foodies, you’re gonna LOVE this piece. It turns out that peanuts, avocados, bananas, pomegranates, and more are way useful beyond their edible flesh. Read it and cheer.
3) Kitchen Bitsch: On Carnivore Guilt
In which author Summerlin, the daughter of a farmer, finds herself torn between her appreciation for meat and her affection for the animals she’s raised.
4) Zachary Burt: Vegetarians Are Just Big Pussies
In which author Zach, decries his former Real Men Eat Meat perspective and embraces vegetarianism.
5) Salon: Men eat meat, women eat chocolate - How food gets gendered
Beef is manly. Wine is for the ladies. If you ever wondered if these stereotypes were the product of genetics, evolution, culture, or really good advertising, read this now. Riddhi Shah’s thoughtful piece raises good questions, and provides a few good answers, as well.
6) Village Voice: Soda Tax Dies As Beverage Industry Outspends Health Groups
I don’t know whether this is a health travesty or a triumph of individual will, but New York defeated the proposed levy on soda (or pop, for you Buffalonians). Somewhat non-shockingly, the beverage industry may have had a massive hand in its downfall. Marion Nestle and Casual Kitchen’s Dan give their thoughts.
7) The Simple Dollar: Nine Tactics That Work for Starting Food Preparation at Home
Can’t bring yourself to cook in your own kitchen? Convinced takeout is cheaper? Hate chopping? Trent has a handful of simple strategies to make the eat-at-home process much easier. (Siblings of mine! Read this!)
8) New York Times: Triumph of the Egg
Wondering how hot it’s been in NYC? The Times crew cooked breakfast on the sidewalk. Mmm … concrete-flavored omelet.
9) Politics of the Plate: An Offer Americans Can—And Will—Refuse
I’ve debated getting into the illegal immigrant brouhaha on this blog, because it’s generally a happy, bi-partisan, la-la-la kind of place, and I’m not sure I want to interrupt that. But man, I love the third story here.
10) Wise Bread: Organic Groceries on a Budget
Love these out-of-the-box tips and tricks for buying pesticide-free foods. Myscha Theriault’s ideas go beyond the average organics post.

10 TIPS HEALTHY WITHOUT DRUGS
10 TIPS HEALTHY WITHOUT DRUGS - Multicomplex life today so I can be knocked-down "disease" strange that difficult to overcome, either by itself or immune drugs. How tricks to keep us healthy without frequent treatment.
It is no secret that our bodies have immune systems that can protect the body from disease attack. That is if the system works! Sometimes like to crash. If it were so, so what can make! We are forced to seek treatment. However, it would also not hurt, trying various tricks to prevent disease to live without depending on drugs. Everywhere, which can be used to it: to prevent before it happens is better than cure that was already rife.
Here are 10 tips that can help you:
1. Know yourself, whether physical or psychological
This is somewhat philosophical, indeed, but in fact it is precisely here lies the key to everything. By knowing ourselves, we can know the physical weakness of our bodies, and then can decide what is good and donts for the body, and what is not. The person who has unwittingly eat foods that are salty delicacy unnecessarily, for example, over time felt his body change, as quickly felt dizzy, his balance is reduced, and often feel various symptoms of not feeling well.
After a doctor examined the body, known to his body began to develop a new "disease" of high blood pressure. If it ever since he tried earnestly to reduce salty foods and fatty foods, while doing moderate exercise regularly, then the "disease" it is not easy to recurrence, and he does not need frequent trips to the doctor again.
2. Not in a hurry to feel pain
Just because a sneeze, cough, or a slight fever, people have decided to take medicine. Though often after left three days, the symptoms of the disease go away. The body does have the ability to heal itself. Only with enough rest, pain symptoms were gone themselves. Dizziness symptoms can sometimes disappear simply by inhaling the fresh air in the park that are not contaminated exhaust air.
3. Eat a varied
Doing variation meal, start from the assumption that there are certain foods that are more useful than ordinary foods daily. If we use this as a distraction to the kind of daily food, then the two groups of materials that can complement each other.
4. Adjusting consumption by age level
The amount of nutrients the body needs varies depending on age, type of activity, and body condition (in sickness or health). In children and adolescents who are aggressive, grow jealous, the five elements in food (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, and water) is necessary, so it does not need to be restricted. Conversely, in adults and elderly, the restriction is absolutely necessary. Carbohydrate and fat as energy producers should be reduced in number, given their physical activity has decreased.
How to reduce carbohydrates and fat is to reduce the portion of rice and fried. In contrast, vitamins and minerals and should be eaten with just water enough. These substances are very necessary to facilitate the bodys metabolism, and increase durability. Just keep in mind that the best is to use natural vitamins, such as that contained in fruits and vegetables fresh.
5. Exercise regularly according to ability
6. Always keep cleaning
Clean environment at home, page, and residential complexes to give fresh and comfortable atmosphere.
7. Taking the time to relax
Spending time ask for a break does not mean much more than working productively until beyond propriety. No! Taking the time to break it up a little while, and this is necessary, to set the kendo for a while in between the tension at rush hour to work everyday. This should be done routinely.
8. Back to nature
Trends in the early 1990s in Western countries is based on experience that lifestyle in modern times to encourage people to change their eating habits, such as more frequent eating canned food, bottled chili sauce, or fruit preserved. To return close to nature, we instead have to come into martial arts warriors, but at least avoid canned food, and even multiply eat fresh vegetables and fruit.
9. Treat respiratory
Treat respiratory means regulate the manner and frequency of breathing to be more efficient. By inhaling air (oxygen) slowly in a matter of 15 then slowly release it also in a matter of 15, we can keep the oxygen in the body longer than usual. Oxygen will be used by the bodys organs in an effective, albeit only slightly.
10. Fond of reading health
The phrase "Do not know it was love, not love then no love" is very fitting to satirize people who want a healthy body, but did not bother reading about health approach.
