Learn About Herb GardeningHow to Grow, and Cook with, Herbs and Foods that heal!TEN TIPSI will be talking about and demonstrating a recipe using herbs and foods that heal. Participants will learn how to grow, and cook with, herbs and foods that heal. Ten Tips: 1. Sensational Smoothies: Tofu challenged? Try adding a bit of silken soft tofu to your morning smoothie. Don’t worry – it won’t change the flavor but will boost the nutrition! A sprinkling of nonfat powdered dry milk adds protein and calcium, too. 2. Flax your muscles! Sprinkle flax seed on cereal, salads, muffins and breads. Golden flax seed usually has more Omega 3’s than brown flax seed. 3. Grind it up! An inexpensive coffee grinder is a good way to grind seeds, nuts, spices and herbs. To clean between uses whirl in a small amount of baking soda. This cleans and removes odors. 4. Edamame – protein in a pod! I like the frozen ones out of the pod. Pour into boiling water to which you have added a little sea salt. Boil for about 10 minutes. Eat as a delicious snack or add to pasta sauces, soups, stews, salads. 5. Use sea salt instead of regular salt. It’s more flavorful so you’ll use less, plus it contains more minerals. 6. Plant an aromatherapy garden on your windowsill. Uplifting herbs like lavender, mints and lemon balm are great pot plants. 7. Beans are big! They are great sources of protein, fiber and other good nutrients. Rinse canned beans and drain before using. Sprinkle onto salads, into soups and canned pasta sauces. 8. Great Grains! Bulghur wheat is a good way to lower your cholesterol. Reconstitute it with cold water and sprinkle into chilies, salsas, onto green salads. Couscous is a delicious 5 minute pasta that can be augmented with garlic, fresh spinach and onions sautéed in a bit of olive oil 9. Sensational seafood! Slightly undercook for best results, as carryover cooking occurs when residual heat continues to cook the seafood after it’s pulled from the heat. 10. Plant your herb garden close to the kitchen. Get the kids involved. Let them have a pizza, or salad, or soup garden. When they become involved, kids are much more adventurous and open to new foods.
