My heart beets

Queencuisine — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 03:00:00 +0000

Beets or The Blood Turnip (I love saying that) as I affectionately call them. Don’t worry the red-purple colour is a pigment from the presence of betacyanin…..say that three times fast! Basically it’s a powerful antioxidant that promotes the function of the liver. Okay enough of the betacyanin. I’ve never attempted the famous Russian borscht soup, but I’ve roasted them and sliced them thin. I’ve also enjoyed the leaves in a nice salad. So roast them, preserve them or serve them raw. Experiment and make your heart beat for beets! I must say this Roasted Beet and Avocado Salad is addictive….

In this day and age when the environment is on our mind, it’s important to be aware that organic products have stormed the market, offer a variety of choices and are readily available. I mean, did you know there are organic mattresses??? I guess I just never thought of it but now I know! Click the link and have a look through some top-notch organic websites.

For the love of the gourd – Squash and gourd soup recipes

Queencuisine — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 03:09:21 +0000

Fall season is approaching and gourds and squash will be in season soon. Let me first say that gourds and squash are healthy and versatile. Even better, gourds and squash are fairly inexpensive and go a long way in a dish. I usually pay $4 for a large butternut squash. So in today’s day of cost-cutting and trying to find ways to eat healthy yet keeping your grocery bill down, squash just seems to make sense. I thought I would post two of my favorite squash soup recipes. So enjoy! I should be posting some more soon. Also be sure to check out some of my gourd photography from last year – that is, if you’re into gourds like I am. They’re all too cute with their unique little bumps and curls.

Boys weekend – inspired Asian slaw

Queencuisine — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 04:15:26 +0000

I was watching an episode of Boys Weekend today on the Food Network. Interesting episode adorning some arrogant, alpha male chefs. LMAO, they’re good looking, seemingly intelligent men livin’ the highlife but I have absolutely no connect with them. Albeit, they’re quite the chefs though. There was some seriously fast knife handling on that episode, and raw talent. Did I mention the ‘alpha male’ vibe that oozes from these boys? Big watches, rolled up sleeves, pools and palm trees in the background. Like I said, I do not relate, but I was interested in the food they were making. Oh and stay tuned for my first cooking video!
