Chicken Nuggets – The Real food Way

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed and you'll never miss a recipe, post or giveaway at Nourished Kitchen. When I heard that Real food Wednesdays was going to focus on fast food, I considered posting about our favorite pseudo-fast food stop.  Of course, there truly isn’t any fast food in our town.  You’d literally have to drive 58 miles roundtrip to find a nationwide fast food chain like McDonald’s, Sonic or Taco Bell.  Want Burger King or Arby’s?  Well, then, you’re in for several hundred miles round-trip. Of course, there’s a place in town that can satisify the craving for fast food.  I’ve blogged about it before when touching on One Local Summer.  At this gas station cum restaurant, they serve the world’s best burgers.  Indeed, best of all, they source they’re meat locally from grass-finished cows.  Skip the bun and have them serve you a hamburger salad, and you have a nourishing fast food lunch. Beyond that, though, sometimes we get cravings for old-school comfort food.  Comfort food like chicken nuggets.  Instead of serving up prepackaged, frozen nuggets made from a slurry of chicken parts, hydrogenated oils and chemicals, I prepare my own using wholesome ingredients like pastured chicken, sprouted grain, herbs and spices.  They’re delicious served with preserved lemon & parsley tapenade which contributes flavor with a side of beneficial bacteria for gut health. Check out the recipes here: Chicken Nuggets with Almonds Preserved Lemon & Parsley Tapenade

Name that Food: It’s healthy, isn’t it?

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed and you'll never miss a recipe, post or giveaway at Nourished Kitchen. So, you were right – or at least partly right:  the last issue of Name that food was a handisnack.  Of course, Noelle of in the Kitchen with Another Mama was also right in that the missing ingredient was banana.  Last issue’s name that food’s answer is Banana Split Handisnack.  Note that it could very well have been vanilla since the ingredients are the same for both the banana- and vanilla-flavored ready-to-eat pudding.  And, here, I thought a banana pudding should include bananas – silly me! So, here’s this week’s edition of Name that Food: Brown Rice Milk (Water, Organically Grown Brown Rice), Oat Flour, Canola Oil, Corn Starch, Salt, Natural Flavor, Vitamins and Minerals, Irish Moss, Sodium Citrate And Sorbic Acid. So, post your best guess (trying not to google, you tricksters)  and I’ll fill you in next Saturday when I’ll post yet another mystery food.

Name That Food: Good for your Belly?

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed and you'll never miss a recipe, post or giveaway at Nourished Kitchen. So last week’s Name that food was posted and you can check it out here: Name that Food: It’s Healthy, Isn’t It? We had only two responses: one from Noelle of In the Kitchen with Another Mama and one from Anna of Against the Grain. Anna came the closest with her response: The choice of “irish moss” instead of carageenan tells me this is something really processed and sold in the “health food” store under the guise of something healthy. Probably fake “milk” of some sort. Sorry I can’t be more positive about it, even the ingredients are so gross-sounding. And she’s right.  It is something sold in health food stores under the guise of something healthy.  And here’s another surprise: I’ve actually eaten this stuff when I was on a vegan diet.  And, yes, it is as gross-tasting as it is gross-sounding. The answer to last week’s mystery food puzzle is Veganrella!  Veganrella is a soy- and milk-free cheese marketed to vegans and the milk-intolerant.  Frankly, you’d be better off purchasing and enjoying a high-quality, artisan-style raw milk cheese than suffering through this pseudofood or just doing without than suffering through this abomination of a gastronomical experience. But here we are, and it’s another Saturday and I have another food for you to attempt to identify.  Like Banana-flavored Handisnacks, this week’s mystery food seems to be missing something when I examined the ingredients – something or, rather, somethings that would actually help it to meet the needs of the market its manufacturers are targeting. So, give it your best shot: Mystery food for Saturday, February 28: Pasteurized Nonfat Milk, Pasteurized Cultured Nonfat Yogurt, Sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Raspberry Puree, Inulin, Modified Corn Starch, Citric Acid, Modified Tapioca Starch, Pectin, Malic Acid, Dimagnesium Phosphate, Lactic Acid, Whey Protein Concentrate, Flavor(s) Natural and Artificial, Gellan Gum, Tri Calcium Phosphate, Beet Juice Concentrate, Potassium Sorbate, Vitamin C, Iron, Vitamin E, Vitamin aB, Zinc, Vitamin aB, Manganese, Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B1, Biotin, Vitamin aB, Iodine, Vitamin D3, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B12 So … post your best guess, and I’ll fill you in next Saturday when I post another mystery food!!

Fermented Food: Benefits of Lactic Acid Fermentation
2 March 2009
1,447 views
15 Comments
Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed and you'll never miss a recipe, post or giveaway at Nourished Kitchen. Fermented food, enjoyed across the globe, conveys health benefits through lactic acid fermentation. The fermentation process can transform the flavor of food from the plain and mundane to a mouth-puckering sourness enlivened by colonies of beneficial bacteria and enhanced micronutrients. While fermented food like yogurt, sauerkraut and kefir are well-known many other lesser-known foods also benefit from the lactic acid fermentation process. Indeed, virtually every food with a complex or simple sugar content can be successfully fermented. Born of both necessity and practicality, lactic acid fermentation proved to be not only an efficient method of preserving food for our ancestors, but also a critical one. Indeed, fermented food like sauerkraut, cheese, wine, kvass,  soured grain porridge and breads often sustained tribes and villages during harsh winters when fresh food simply wasn’t available let alone plentiful. In many societies including our own where yogurt has been heralded as a health food since the 19th century, fermented food has gained a reputation for its beneficial effects on immunity, intestinal health and general well-being. Modern researchers are just beginning to understand what the sages of old were tuned in to: fermented food conveys clear and calculable health benefits to the human diet. Lactic acid fermentation in and of itself enhances the micronutrient profile of several foods. For example, milk that undergoes lactic acid fermentation either in the wild as in the case of clabbered milk or inoculated by a starter culture as in the case of yogurt, piima, matsoni and other fermented dairy products conveys more vitamins to the eater in comparison to raw milk and, particularly, pasteurized and ultra-high-temperature pasteurized milk. Fermented dairy products consistently reveal an increased level of folic acid which is critical to producing healthy babies as well as pyroxidine, B vitamins, riboflavin and biotin depending on the strains of bacteria present. [1. Vitamin Profiles of Kefirs Made from Milk of Different Species. International Journal of food Science & Technology. 1991. Kneifel et al] The increases in the micronutrient profiles of fermented food aren’t just limited to yogurt, bonny clabber and kefir. Vegetables, fruits, legumes and grains subjected to lactic acid fermentation also see increases in both their macro- and micronutrient profiles. The bioavailability of amino acids – particularly lysine with its antiviral effects and methionine – increases with lactic acid fermentation. [2. Evaluation of lysine and methionine production in some Lactobacilli and yeasts. International Journal of food Microbiology. Odunfa et al.]For grains, sprouting prior to souring can increase the availability of protein even further. Vegetables that have undergone lactic acid fermentation as in the case of sauerkraut and kimchi, often see an increase in the activity of vitamin C and vitamin A. While lactic acid fermentation does not usually increase the level of minerals present in fermented foods unless unusual circumstances are present (as in fermenting food in a metal or earthen container), it does decrease the activity of phytic acid content naturally present in grains. Phytic acid is an antinutrient that binds up minerals – preventing full absorption of minerals in the gut. Since souring grains reduces the phytic acid content, the lactic acid fermentation process actually enables your body to absorb more minerals from the grain than you would be able to otherwise absorb. The end result is that you get more bang for your nutritional buck by souring the grains you eat. So now that you’ve eliminated modern sweeteners and learned to use mineral-rich bone broth, your next step on the traditional foods journey is to better incorporate fermented food into your diet. Take advantage of all the health benefits that lactic acid fermentation offers. Next week the Traditional Foods primer will build upon our knowledge of fermented food by examining just how they can improve our health. In the meantime, check out these recipes which takes advantage of lactic acid fermentation: Moroccan Preserved Lemons Rustic Sourdough Noodles Real Sauerkraut Sourdough Peach Pancakes

HR 875 – The Death of Farmers Markets, CSAs and Local Food
11 March 2009
7,927 views
41 Comments
Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed and you'll never miss a recipe, post or giveaway at Nourished Kitchen. HR 875, also known as the food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, was introduced by Rosa Delauro – a democratic party member of the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut – in February of 2009.  The title of HR 875, The food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, sounds innocuous enough – even comforting, but its implications yield a much, much different story. HR 875 as it is written today, could very well mean the end of the vibrant and growing local foods movement.  Yes – if it passes – it could herald the death of farmers markets, most CSAs, farmstands and even small family-run farms altogether. Ostensibly, HR 875 or the food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 would bring greater accountability to our imperiled food system.  Indeed, with salmonella-infected peanuts and spinach laced with e-coli, who isn’t crying out for improvements in food safety? However, HR 875 fails miserably in promoting food safety.  Rather, than promoting true accountability and proper farming techniques that minimize the risk of introducing pathogens into the food supply, it simply will create greater barriers for our already struggling small farms and farmers markets. HR 875 mandates that anyone who produces food of any kind – meat, milk, fruit, vegetables et cetera -  and transports that food for sale be subject to warrantless government inspections of their farms and food production records.  These random inspections can be conducted at the whim of federal agents without regard to farmers rights or property rights.  Further, the law would allow federal agents to confiscate records, product as they see fit as part of the inspection process. Agents could also implement draconian restrictions regarding how farm animals can be fed, how fields can be managed and the end result of these restrictions could mean the end of organic, biodynamic and sustainable agriculture practices if these practices are deemed “unsafe.”  Farmers refusing to comply would be subject to penalties. The penalty for denying federal agents unlimited, random access to a farm’s fields, properties, products and records is up to $1,000,000.  The penalty for not registering is up to$1,000,000. Remember, this law would affect every farmer or food producer who must transport his goods to sell them – in effect, every single farmer.  That means that an orchard that sells fresh fruit at a roadside stand would be affected; a farmer who delivers CSA boxes would be affected, even a home gardener who brings excess harvest to a farmers market’s community booth would have to register or be subject to $1,000,000 fines and that garden plot would be subject to inspection by federal agents.  Ridiculous, isn’t it?  But it’s true. HR 875 is such a massive bill, with such massive requirements and restrictions that, in effect, only huge agribusinesses would be able to effectively meet all its requirements.  The small family farm would be history and, along with it, farmstands, farmers markets, most food cooperatives and CSAs. Now, let’s get back to Rosa Delauro who introduced HR 875 in February.  Ms. Delaura is married to Stanley Greenberg.  Stanley Greenberg is a political consultant whose clients have included Monsanto–Monsanto, the same corporation, who blessed us with RBGH and genetically engineered seeds. Should we really trust Ms. Delauro or her husband to make these kinds of decisions for the American people? My husband and I run a farmers market – a vibrant and growing farmers market in the heart of ski country.  Now, it’s taken our blood, sweat and tears (and I do mean real blood, real sweat and real tears) to make our market succeed.  Were this bill to pass, it would mean the end of our market as our farmers – some of whom grow on as little as a single acre – would be forced to close their gates.  It would also mean the end of our local CSAs – all of which are delivered from the farm after a winding trip through the mountains. The bill has not passed yet, so you still have time to act.  Remember, eating is now a political act so exercise your rights. Act now: Read the full bill here: HR 875 – food Safety Modernization Act of 2009. Contact your representative and inform them you oppose HR 875. Tweet this post and spread the word about HR 875. Stumble this post and spread the word about HR 875. Blog about your opposition to HR 875. Contact your representative AGAIN and make sure the message gets through.

A Happy Belly is a Happy Baby!
Posted by Candace on Feb 24, 2009 | 85 Comments
I’m buying more organic these days, especially after finding out how those big brands high fructose their corn syrup. Organic is healthier for the earth and healthier for baby.  Besides, organic just tastes better. Encouraged by my crunchiest friends, I experimented with making my own baby food and snacks…an endeavor which I quickly abandoned when I realized that motherhood did not actually increase the number of hours in my day. There are some good organic baby foods, but little in the way of convenient toddler snacks and meals.  So, I was thrilled to hear about HAPPYFAMILY and could not feel better about sharing this baby food maker with you! First, they are devoted to creating the most nutritious products available (trusted pediatric expert Dr. Sears is advising them). Their HAPPYBELLIES cereal includes not only the now-popular DHA for a brain boost, but also probiotics for gastrointestinal health. They also make HAPPYBABYPUFFS, our newest product, the only organic self-feed baby snacks and the only baby snacks fortified with calcium, and vitamins B and D. I’m a label reader and these snacks are definitely lower in sugar than your average toddler snack. They are tastier, too! Yes, I try my kids’ baby food. In the frozen foods section, you’ll also find their HAPPYBABY fresh frozen fruits, vegetables, grains and meats, and HAPPYBITES, finger food for toddlers and kids with hidden veggies and nutritious dipping sauces. HAPPYFAMILY recognizes that kid palates can appreciate a variety of tastes, so the mixed dishes for older babies and toddlers have super-foods like salmon, sweet potatoes, and quinoa, flavored with mild spices, such as cinnamon and coriander. The food is packaged in an nut-free facility, contains no common allergens, and the packaging is recyclable, phthalate-free and BPA-free. To top it all off, this is a woman-owned start up that supports Project Peanut Butter (feeding malnourished children in Malawi and Sierra Leone). Babies and toddlers will get their full servings of fruits and veggies with these tasty dishes. No need for deception when the food is this delicious! — WANT IT: Look for HAPPYBABY food at your nearest natural food store, find out where to buy HAPPYBABY food, or buy the organic cereal and snacks on Amazon. WIN IT: Enter to win two (2) free trial coupons each HAPPYBABY, HAPPYBELLIES, HAPPYBITES and two (2) canisters of HAPPYBABYPUFFS, plus an Infant and toddler Nutrition Guide written by Dr. Robert Sears and Amy Marlow, RD MPH CDN; FAQ on Probiotics & DHA; and HAPPYFAMILY Recipes (Total ARV $40).

Question of the Day: What Kind of food Storage Containers Do You Use? By Mandi • April 28, 2009 Be sure you don't miss a thing! Subscribe to receive updates by email. Or if you use a feed reader, subscribe to my RSS feed! Thanks for visiting! In the six-and-a-half years that I’ve been married and managing my own household, I’ve never owned nice food storage containers. I’ve used the “throwaway” Glad containers (without actually throwing them away!), a cheap set from Ikea and most recently, old sour cream, ricotta cheese and yogurt containers. They’ve all worked just fine, and I figured the nicer storage containers were probably a waste of money (while also dreaming of getting a nice set of glass ones sometime in the future!). But this week that all changed. I had the opportunity sample a few different sets of Rubbermaid containers, and to be honest, I debated whether to even accept the offer because I’m committed to decluttering and only accepting product samples to review that meet a need we have or that I really, really want. However, I have been kind of frustrated with the chaos that comes from reusing different colored/sized food containers, and so I decided this might just be worth trying. Honestly, since opening the box last week, I’ve realized that having beautiful containers with matching lids that neatly stack together in my cabinet makes me happy. Such a silly thing to get excited about (at least I know it, right?), but I love the way they look stacked in my kitchen drawer, and I’m not sure I’ll ever go back. Although I’m still hoping for the glass ones at some point, I’ll still keep the Rubbermaid ones for traveling, picnics, etc. What makes these containers great, besides the aesthetic appeal, is the function of each one: Easy Find Lids The lids from almost all (all?) of Rubbermaid’s new containers snap together and/or to the bottom of each container to make them easy to store and easy to find. Produce Savers With this ingenious design, cut up produce sits on a stand to keep it away from the moisture in the bottom of the container so that it stays good longer! The vented tray snaps to the lids to keep them together as well. Lock-Its With an extra tight seal and locking lids, these containers give peace of mind so that you’re not worrying about messy spills. Premier These easy-to-clean containers are stain resistant and also feature Flex & Seal lids which seal tightly for freshness and are easy to open and close.

What’s the trick? Planning! Whether you work at home or outside the home, your life can often be so hectic that it just seems simpler to order pizza or cook prepackaged convenience foods. However, these are typically much less healthy for you than foods you cook yourself. Start by picking out the recipes you would like to make. Deciding on what you are serving ahead of time can keep you from deciding on something less healthy but easier to make just because you don’t feel like taking the time to cook the healthier food. If time is a major issue, consider recipes where you can prepare it partially or fully in advance. There are people who do an entire week’s cooking in one day, storing the meals in the refrigerator or freezer. Even if you can’t entirely prepare the meal in advance, consider chopping the vegetables in advance. Planning your meals in advance also helps with your grocery shopping. Use your plans to create your shopping list. You may even want to plan your meals at the same time as you plan your shopping list by taking a look at what is on special at whichever grocery stores you plan to shop at. Buying items that are on special can save you quite a bit of money. You may even want to stock up. To save as much as possible, limit yourself to what is on that list. No impulse purchases! It takes self discipline, but cutting back on impulse items can be a huge help. They may seem expensive, but fruits and vegetables that are in season are actually quite affordable, and can be an excellent alternative to sugary or salty snacks. Their frozen counterparts are also quite good for you and may be quite affordable. If you have space in the freezer, buy meats when they are at their best discount. You will want to keep track of what a good price is for each kind of meat. You will also want to be aware of when products get marked down. I know that my local Albertson’s, for example, generally marks their ground beef from the butcher department to $1/pound somewhere around 9 o’clock every evening. Guess what time I shop there when I need ground beef? Make the most of your leftovers. It’s all to easy to forget them and have to clean out the fridge several days later. Wasted food is money you’re throwing out. Pull those leftovers out for lunch! Finally, pay attention to how you’re cooking your food. You may not need as much oil as you’ve been using, for example. Stir frying can be a great way to mix your meat and vegetables up with a delicious sauce. Drain the grease when you cook ground beef to make it a little healthier. Trim excess fat from other meats to make them just a little better for you. And don’t forget to eat your vegetables! Try mixing them up with some spices rather than butter… there are wonderful ways to bring out the flavors of vegetables.

How many grapes can one large (OK extra-large) sleepy grey cat pierce and toss on the floor in the matter of a few seconds?  How many cat-saliva coated cherries lay just out of sight under the refrigerator and baseboard heaters?  Ahh so many mysteries, so few cats to pin the blame on… Share and Enjoy: This entry was posted on Monday, April 27th, 2009 at 1:15 am and is filed under Cat Stories, Uncategorized.

... Define Ego Food : Healthy, organic food for Sebastian’s ego, so it......Read the result more ego food tonight: Sebastian’s sauced idiot version...

Sebastian’s Pamphlets If you’ve read my articles somewhere on the Internet, expect something different here. Shortcut: sebastian-x.com Blog About Blogroll Links Thanks for all the ego food! Posted on 9 January, 2008 Define Ego Food : Healthy, organic food for Sebastian’s ego, so it can grow up big and strong. [Please note that only organic ego-food-burgers are healthy, so please refrain from any blackhatted tactics when praising or flaming me. Also, don’t even think that the greedy guy on the right will answer to the name of Sebastian. Rednecks crabby old farts insurrectionists are bald and wear a black hat.]   I’m not yet sure whether the old year ended with an asc(33) or the new year started with an U+0021. However, I want to shout out a loud Thank You! to you, my dear readers. Thanks to you my pamphlets prosper. I’m not only talking about your very much appreciated kind mentions1 on your blogs. What gets my lazy butt out of my bed to write more pamphlets is another highlight of my day: checking this blog’s MBL and Feedburner stats. In other words: I write because you read, sphinn and stumble my articles. The 2007 Search Blog Awards Despite my attempt to cheat my way to a search blog award with a single-candidate-category, Loren over at SEJ decided to accept a nomination of my pamphlets in the Best SEO Blog category. It was a honor to play in that league, and it means a lot to me. Congrats to Barry, and thanks to the 150 people who voted for me! Yep, I’ve counted even the 1/2/3-votes, in fact as constructive criticism. I’ve no clue whether the folks who gave me low ratings just didn’t know me or considerd my blog that worthless. Anyway, I take that very seriously and will try to polish up Sebastian’s Pamphlets for the next round. The 2007 Rubber Chicken Awards (SEM version) In related good news, I, Google’s nightmare, have almost won the 2007 Rubber Chicken Award for the dullest most bizarre SEO blog post. Ranked in row two I’m in good company with Geraldine, Jeff and David. Another post of mine made it in row three. Congrats to Matt and Sandra who won the most wanted award on the Web! More Ego Food While inserting my daily load of blatant comment-author-link spam on several blogs, last night I stumbled upon a neat piece of linkbait from Shaun and couldn’t resist to slap and discredit him. Eventually he banned me, but I can spam via email too. Read the result more ego food tonight: Sebastian’s sauced idiot version of robots.txt pulled by Shaun from the UK’s Scotland’s great Hobo SEO Blog. What can I improve? I’m really proud of such a great readership. What do you want to see here this year? I’m blogging in my spare time, but I’ll try to fulfill as many wishes as possible. Please don’t hesitate to post your requests here. Consider the comments my to-do list for 2008. Thank you again, and have a great year! 1  It seems I’m suffering from an inbound link penalty: Technorati recently discoverd my new URL but refuses to update my reputation, despite all my pings, so I’m stuck with a daily link count.
