Cooking advice

Buy Local Food : Bringing more local produce into your kitchen may leave you wondering what to do with unusual things such as Jerusalem artichokes, kohlrabi or mizuna. “I get requests all the time from CSAs asking permission to put my recipes into their delivery boxes,” Madison says. “I always say yes.” Get a good produce-based cookbook and don’t be reluctant to ask for recipe ideas from growers.


Track down specials and buy in bulk. Buying in bulk means less trips, and can be a good way of reducing your food miles.


Diet info

The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows weight loss whilst allowing you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, like bacon and butter.
With the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is often referred to as a high protein, low carb, diet system.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The logic of the popular atkins diet is that if we consume fewer carbs, our bodies will consume the fat we already carry and we will diet successfully

Spray crock inside with Vegetable Spray. Place drained mushrooms, drained artichoke hearts and chopped green onions in bottom of crockpot. Sprinkle vegetables with a heaping Tablespoon of quick-cooking tapioca and 1 envelope of chicken bouillon (I use MBT brand of low-sodium chicken bouillon, but any will do). If you're using granulated bouillon, use about a heaping teaspoon. Place well-washed and dried boneless chicken breasts (all skin and fat removed). Combine remaining sauce ingredients and pour on top of chicken and vegetables. Cover and set crockpot on High. Cook 5-6 hours or until tender. The tapioca thickens the sauce while it cooks (you can't even guess the tapioca is in there later). I used Minute Maid fresh frozen lemon juice because I don't like the taste of Real-Lemon and I didn't have a fresh lemon on hand. ** I use Angostura brand low-sodium worcestershire
