Slimming Superfood Recipe: Artichoke, Goat Cheese and Chicken Pizza
Want a pizza that will make you feel as good as it tastes? Well, this version, which features the superfood artichoke will do just that. Artichokes provide potassium, vitamin C and plenty of fiber, which helps you feel fuller longer and may help you eat less overall. Also lightening up this pizza is the use of goat cheese, nonfat ricotta and just a hint of protein-packed superfood Parmesan (PS: Did you know that ounce for ounce, parm has more protein than ANY other food?!) Add some tomatoes, oregano, and chicken for satisfying lean protein, and you've got a slimming pizza that you can really sink your teeth into. (Source: ...

Hors d'oeuvres Suitable for the Super Bowl
I ' ve never been a big sports fan, in part, because the ticket prices to attend virtually any professional sporting event is beyond ridiculous. & nbsp;I remember attending my first professional baseball game with my Dad at Fenway Park when I was a kid. & nbsp;That event remains one of the most memorable events I spent with my father when I was growing up. & nbsp;But the prices to attend games like that are now simply out-of-reach for many families, and a lot has to do with the salaries for players, although the leagues can afford that with the costly TV broadcasting rights deals they sign for the games. & nbsp;Its little ...

(I need to do one specifically for OT, maybe later tonight! Gotta go get ready to go to my aunt's!!) HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!I am thankful for...my ability to be concise and the people who crack up laughing at that statement. For love, light, bliss, berries, serotonin, and glitter.

Don't Ruin Your Diet With These Dips

I had a post all worked out about how I'd lost all joy in my job. . .
And then it got cold.Let's review the bidding: Yesterday, the high was 85*F. That's somewhere north of 29 degrees for you guys who are using a sane and sensible temperature scale.Last night, the low was 50*F. Today, the *high* was 47*F.Tonight, it's supposed to get down close to freezing. I hope the tomato plants and basil live.In short, go home, Texas weather. You're drunk.I refuse to talk about nursing right now, because Manglement has indeed sucked all the joy out of my job recently. Instead of being sad that a friend of mine is leaving for a new job, I'm burning with envy.So instead, let's talk about food. I have a cra...

Superfood of the Week: Artichokes
When you first hear "artichoke," what do you think? A lot of us go straight to one of our favorite (and admittedly unhealthy) dishes -- spinach and artichoke dip. But that gooey, cheesy appetizer isn't all this superfood is good for: Whether they're tossed in pasta, spread on a sandwich or featured on a veggie pizza, artichokes are one seriously tasty way to get your daily cancer-fighting and heart-helping antioxidants. One medium artichoke has a mere 60 calories and a whopping 6 grams of fiber -- and thanks to it's resistant starch, is a slimming superpower, too. Whip up one of these superfood-charged recipes (or one of t...

California Irrigation Supplies Water to Phoenix
Patrick J. Michaels and Paul C. "Chip" Knappenberger
California’s Central Valley is one of the true wonders of the agricultural world. Prior to settlement, it was grassland in its northerly regions (around Sacramento) and desert at the southern end (Bakersfield). As a result of irrigation from water stored both in the ground and in the many rivers that drain into it, this 1 percent of the nation’s cropland produces 8 percent of our national agricultural output (by value). That doesn’t count the equally productive but much smaller Salinas Valley, which is likely where your artichokes came from.

The Weekends are to be Savored…
You should’ve seen me looking at my watch every few moments. It was going on 9pm. I was growing very impatient as my eyelids grew heavy as lead. “Poppa needs to get his ass in gear and get here already,” I sternly told Maggie. “I am ready to go to bed.” At the mention of “Poppa”, Maggie ran to the window above my slowly disintegrating couch to see if he was here. Finally, I saw his CR-V headed up my street and Maggie went crazy when I said, “Poppa’s here!”. I wouldn’t dare ask my father what took so long. It would piss him off. I’m just your average plebian as far as this totem pole goes. I...

In the two days I've had off since the holidays. . .
. . .I've gotten into an Ancient Cookbook Frenzy.One thing I can say for people in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: they had one hell of a collective sweet tooth. Make a pie of artichoke bottoms? Strew it with sugar before you serve it to table. Boil a calve's chaldron (which I just found out is entrails) and spice it with mace and nutmeg and cinnamon? Sprinkle a little sugar over that mofo before you serve it up in a pasty. Roast a rooster? Sugar. Making a nice (meaning exacting) recipe for biskit? Sugar. Sheep's feet? Sugar.When a recipe starts with "Take a pound of sugar, seirced, and lay it onto four pounds of ...
