Pecans……Just Not Another Nut!
Ways to Incorporate Pecans into a Healthy Lifestyle
Pecans are easy to add to your eating plan; simply grab a handful! Pecans are healthy and delicious, and just a one-ounce serving (15- 20 pecan halves) packs more than 19 vitamins and minerals, fiber and protein to keep you going. They’re a perfect snack for both children and adults. Often associated with indulgences and occasional treats, pecans can also be eaten in healthier forms and cooked or baked in a wide variety of foods to add flavor and nutrition. Delicious recipes can be found or created using pecans for breakfast, salads, entrees and side dishes.

Heart-Healthy Pecans
Nearly 60 percent of the fats in pecans are monounsaturated and another 30 percent are polyunsaturated, leaving very little saturated fat in pecans. The unsaturated fat in pecans is heart-healthy fat meeting the new Dietary Guidelines that recommend Americans keep intake between 20 and 35 percent of calories, with most fats coming from heart-healthy sources like fish, nuts and vegetable oils. In addition, pecans contain no trans fat.
Nutrient-Dense Pecans
Pecans contain more than 19 vitamins and minerals – including vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, several B vitamins and zinc. One ounce of pecans provides 10 percent of the recommended Daily Value for fiber. Pecans are also a natural, high-quality source of protein that contain very few carbohydrates and no cholesterol. Pecans are also naturally sodium-free, making them an excellent choice for those on a salt- or sodium-restricted diet.

Wannabe FRESH
So after my yummy dinner at Fresh on Spadina, I couldn’t stop craving that damn Energy Bowl; so I took matters into my own hands and made something similar. My version included a chickpea & lentil curry, spicy coconut curry rice, cucumber, tomato, red & green peppers, craisins, and tzatziki sauce. YUM.
peace, love and health

HCB #51: put that carrot in my coconut…
There are many great things that I learned during my time in chef school, and one of the many things that I learned and keep so close to my heart, is the art of making A DAMN GOOD SOUP. For some this doesn’t sound like anything special, but believe me when I tell you that there is an art to making a GOOD soup.
I cooked the carrots in soy and coconut milk, along with some garlic, onion and other special ingredients, then brought them together…I used to HATE soup, and dreaded ANY and EVERY occasion that involved soup… until I went to chef school.
Anyway, this soup was the BOMB! It was like Christmas in Heaven… only in your mouth! Yes.peace and blessings
