Salads

Jody's Honey Curry Salad  Print Friendly  Description: This recipe is packed with flavour...a great way to get your family addicted to salads! The kids will love the blueberries plus they have such great health benefits for all the family. Blueberries are rich in Vitamins A, C, E and beta-carotene as well as rich in the minerals potassium, manganese, magnesium. They are very high in fiber and low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. But this is just the tip of the nutritional iceberg, for recent studies tell us that of all fresh fruits and vegetables, blueberries provide the most health-protecting antioxidants, those valuable elements which prevent cancer-causing cell damage and may limit the changes wrought by age related diseases. The properties of blueberries cross the blood brain barrier to effect these benefits. Antioxidants help to stop the production of free radicals. Free radicals are groups of atoms that impair the cells and the immune system which leads to disease. Anti-oxidants bind the the free electrons in free radicals. Ingredients: ½ onions chopped 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp curry powder ½ tsp mustard powder ½ tsp turmeric ½ tsp celery seed ½ tsp salt 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar ½ cup honey 1 cup safflower oil Salad: 1 bag spinach leaves ½ cup toasted almonds ½ red onion – diced 1 ½ cups blueberries Optional: Feta crumbles Directions: In a blender combine 1st set of ingredients, plus turmeric, celery seed and salt. Blend well, then add vinegar and honey until creamy. In a steady stream slowly add oil. Toss salad with enough dressing to coat greens. You will have dressing left over to make further salad. Top with grilled chicken or salmon for a meal, or serve as a side. Note: Best if dressing made the day before. Store remainder of dressing in glass container with lid and refrigerate. Notes: Agave can be substituted for honey if blood sugars are a concern. Special Diet: Vegetarian, Low Fat Category: Salads Submitted By: Jody Kidder

Yoga Styles Guide Although there are many styles of yoga, the differences are usually about emphasis, such as focusing on strict alignment of the body, coordination of breath and movement, holding the postures, or the flow from one posture to another. No style is better than another; it's simply a matter of personal preference. More important than any style is the student-teacher relationship. Full Article

Recipe

Hazelnut Fudge Delight Category: Gluten-Free Description: For those of you who love nuts and chocolate this is a fabulous treat. Since the cake is mostly nuts and eggs it is quite healthy and I use 72% or higher dark chocolate for the fudge so it is not overly sweet. Don’t be scared by the 3c of icing sugar. You need that much to offset the 8oz of dark chocolate. I have made this as a rolled cake but the cake is very dense and cracks easily. For your first try cut the cake into 4 equal rectangles and stack it with fudge between each layer and frost with remaining fudge all round. Full Recipe
