Homemade Shrimp Stock
Recently, my sister Marylou gifted me a box of Aneto fish broth that she had bought, but thought she would never use. I decided to use the broth to make a shrimp risotto, something I’ve made many times over the years, but always using chicken stock. (I love chicken stock…)
Well, let me tell you that shrimp risotto was a revelation. I had no idea it could taste so amazing. What had I been thinking all these years using chicken and not fish stock????
But there was a problem. As good as the Aneto’s fish broth is (and it is amazingly good), I inherently hate stock-in-a-box. Something about it just makes...

Wednesday Bible Study: Descent into the bizarre
We ' ve had some really weird chapters before, but Numbers 11 is in competition for the Bizzarro Award. Many of the stories and prescriptions in Leviticus and Numbers can be explained as having an essentially political motive -- to entrench the power and wealth of the priesthood, or to create and enforce social order. Much of it, obviously, is about the glorification of God and demonstration of his power. Numbers 11 is in the latter category, but God ' s behavior is just lunatic. There is also a somewhat puzzling story in the middle of it all that may be explicable in political terms but is difficult to interpret. Fr...

Phytonutrients: Paint your plate with the colors of the rainbow
Did you know that adding color to your meals will help you live a longer, healthier life? Colorful fruits and vegetables can paint a beautiful picture of health because they contain phytonutrients, compounds that give plants their rich colors as well as their distinctive tastes and aromas. Phytonutrients also strengthen a plant’s immune system. They protect the plant from threats in their natural environment such as disease and excessive sun.
When humans eat plant foods, phytonutrients protect us from chronic diseases. Phytonutrients have potent anti-cancer and anti-heart disease effects. And epidemiological research sug...

9 Steps to Treat Depression Naturally
Ever since I started an online community for treatment-resistant depression — depression and anxiety that don’t respond to psychotropic medications — I’ve been inundated with mail from desperate people who have tried 30 to 40 different kinds of antidepressants, and feel no relief. I repeatedly hear from family members of folks who have tried everything, and are not getting better. I sense the utter frustration and despair in their words, and it pains me. I, too, felt hopeless after trying countless medication combinations and sitting through years of psychotherapy sessions, only to continue my death ob...

Foods that Nourish, Replenish and Repair
The food we eat serves many purposes. It satisfies a primal need to fuel our bodies and quell hunger. It connects us to family and friends in lovely ways, during the holidays, in social situations and at the nightly dinner table. It encourages us to be creative, to try new things, explore different cultures, and savor interesting tastes. And it comforts us, at least temporarily, when we are lonely, sad, anxious or otherwise spent.
Food has another very important purpose: it cleanses, repairs, replenishes our body at the most basic cellular level. In fact, the latest research from the field of nutrigenomics[1], reve...

Everyday Life: July 2014
We went down to Dunfermline to visit the in-laws and I spent the whole weekend sneezing and crying. Good ol’ Fife pollen.
We got the royal tour of the allotment…
It’s unrecognisable from the weedy wasteland we inherited back in 2011. It’s now crammed with tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, blueberries, leeks, onions, carrots, pumpkins, broad beans, peas, rhubarb, courgettes and even wee apple trees. David and Mary have put so much hard work into it.
Meanwhile back in Inverness there’s only one plant in our little rental back yard, but it’s a goodun. It heaved w...

Lemon-Fennel Chicken with Mushrooms & Scallions
For years, my friend Susan (of the famed Chicken Salad Susan) has been making her Italian grandmother’s sautéed chicken breasts with breadcrumbs, parmesan and fennel. Not too long ago, she was also on a diet program that included an amazing recipe for pan fried lemon chicken. I decided to combine both her recipes, and now have a killer entree that I’ve made almost weekly since she first shared it with me.

You can just make the chicken breasts, and you’ll have an amazing entree. Or just cut up the chicken breasts, skipping the breading, and have anoth...

Meatless Monday Recipe: Pan Fried Chickpea Salad
Another Happy Meatless Monday, where has February gone!
Today I wanted to share a delicious, very simple, healthful and savory vegetarian side dish: Pan Fried Chickpea Salad. This one-pot chickpea salad is made with warming spices, vibrant cilantro and lemon, protein packed chickpeas, making it the perfect go-to accompaniment. Not to mention the absolutely divine dressing! It keeps for up to a week when left undressed, so consider doubling it to have at your convenience. I love serving a double portion as a main meal topped with thick slices of creamy ripe avocado or toasted walnuts for an added crunch.

Forget the Diet Plans: The No-Brainer Way to Eat Healthy AND Lose Weight
During my life I’ve had a love/hate view of “the meal plan” segment of diet books. I want to make it work, but often it just takes too much time and effort to follow the plan and so I don’t stick with it for more than a couple days.
I’ve read many many books and articles on nutrition, food as medicine, and weight loss. In that time I’ve come up with a simple formula that I use to eat healthy and lose/maintain weight.
What follows is a simple approach to eating that is both healthy and conducive to losing/maintaining your desired weight.

More Standout Foods Take Center Stage
By Amy Campbell
At a time when it seems like we're constantly being told what NOT to eat, it's refreshing to know that there are so many healthful, nutritious foods that are available for our enjoyment. So, without further ado, here are a few more for your consideration!
Garlic. Garlic is one of those foods that people tend to either love or hate. Its other name is the "stinking rose," which is fitting, given its pungent smell and flavor. Garlic belongs to the same family as onions and leeks, and it's rich in sulfur-containing compounds called thiosulfinates, sulfoxides, and dithiins. Don't worry about what these are, let ...
