Don't let the students in your life go back to school without a steady supply of high Omega-3 Breakfast Cookies!

Pasta with fresh Tomato Sauce can be a balanced, high Omega-3 dinner too!

August 27, 2019

There's a brief moment in the life of my garden when I have an abundance of tomatoes and the weather is cool enough to even think of eating something hot for dinner.

Last week was it.

So I picked all the ripe black plum tomatoes in the garden; sliced them; and quickly simmered them in thinly sliced and lightly browned garlic and oil (and a few sprigs of basil) to make a bright, fresh tomato sauce that is as close to biting into a whole tomato as you can get.

Because I used canola oil to saute the garlic, this dinner was also balanced with regard to its Omega-3s and Omega-6s. Even with a dusting of Parmesan on top.

To your health!

Improving the healthfulness of your garden sandwich

August 20, 2019

A sprinkling of flaxseed meal on goat cheese or mozzarella improves the Omega-3/Omega-6 balance of your summer cheese and veggie sandwiches. This one was made with green beans, tomatoes and basil and a light spread of goat cheese and flaxseed meal -- and was delicious!

Improving the Healthfulness of your Father's Day Cookout

June 12, 2019

Happy (almost) Father's Day to all you fathers out there!

It's a day of grilling for many of you, I know. But it doesn't have to be a day of throwing your Omega-3/Omega-6 balance to the wind! Or your pocketbook!

Those of you who know where to find -- and can afford -- grass-fed beef know that the Omega-3/Omega-6 balance of animals fed exclusively on grass is ideal for human health. But those who don't have access to grass-fed or pastured meat needn't despair -- or give up on good health.

I did the homework for you and calculated just how much (or little) ground flax seed you need to add to conventional ground beef in order to turn it into a healthy burger (as least far as Omega-3s go). It's remarkably little -- one tenth of a teaspoon per 100 gram patty. But I suggest that you throw in a little more -- say 1/4 teaspoon flax seed meal per burger -- in order to balance out the bun and some of the other things you may be putting in your mouth.

Anyone who reads this blog hopefully already knows to make their salad dressings; coleslaw; and potato salads using canola mayo. But it's hard to find potato chips made with canola oil these days, so the extra flax seed meal in your burger should help with those.

Those of you who are making your burgers out of ground turkey will actually need a little more flax seed in each of these burgers -- 1 teaspoon per 100 gram turkey burger -- to balance out all the Omega 6 fats in turkey.

I couldn't find detailed nutritionals for the Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat (for those choosing meat-free options this year), but the ingredients of these products tell me there is a big difference between these two products -- as far as the Omega-3/Omega 6 balance goes. The Impossible Burger is made with sunflower and coconut oil so will be very high in Omega-6s (and low in Omega-3s).

Beyond Meat, however, is made with canola oil so is well balanced.

Happy, healthy cookout and enjoy the day -- and beginning of summer!

Update on Loyalty Lion

January 03, 2019

Hello Customers,

Because we have added Recurring or Autoship subscriptions to our website, we have had to discontinue our Loyalty Lion program. Many of you have earned points on this program and we would like to honor these on your upcoming orders. Please shoot us a note with your next order asking us to honor your points -- or we will try to do this manually if we see that you have unredeemed points. Thanks for your patience as we make this change. And thanks, as always for being fans of the Breakfast Cookies.

Happy 2019,

Susie and Michele

A Happy and Healthy New Year to you. Introducing our New Recurring Subscriptions!
