Chickpeas are pretty under-used in this country, to be honest. In places like Morocco, Italy and Spain they are prized like our Jersey new potato. Still, we have a lot more choice now than we used to have.

So many different Indian foods are made with lentils. From kichidee (simple rice and lentils) to soups, flat breads and even some Maggie noodles (think Ramen noodles) are made from lentils.

[...]Freshly baked bread is a treat that will impress your guests. It is not a lot of work if you have a stand mixer. Allow about 4 hours from start to ready to slice, but most of that is inactive time. Bread is also great for fare la scarpetta, cleaning every last drop of sauce from your plate with bread. This bread has a great crust and neutral flavor that doesn’t overpower the food. This is the reason why I do not generally bake bread stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or the like, because then the bread would play the lead rather than a supporting role. Ingredients Recipe can be scaled to your liking 250 grams (1 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp) all-purpose flour or bread flour250 grams (1 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp) semolina flour (semola di grano duro)300 ml (1 1/4 cup) lukewarm water20 grams (.7 oz) fresh yeast, or 7 grams (2 1/2 tsp) dried yeast60 ml (4 Tbsp) extra virgin olive oil10 grams (2 tsp) salt12 grams (3 tsp) sugarflour for sprinkling Preparation see on http://stefangourmet.com Via Mariano Pallottini

It's hard to beat home made bread and the flavours of Italy are bound to have a wide appeal.

By Benjamin Plackett You've heard of Superfoods, but…Superfruits?

My Thoughts: I knew that fruit are healthy sources of food but until reading this cite I had no idea that fruit were THAT good for the body. Scientists have proven that fruits are packed with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals that support longer life. In addition, fruits help skin look better and can prevent disease like cancer. I learned that it is important to eat five to nine portions of fruit every day. I find that hard to believe because I can’t imagine eating five apples! The writer Benjamin Plackett also says to buy fruits fresh over processed, I found this very helpful because I didn’t think that there was anything wrong with canned fruits, but the “superfruit” is better and healthier as it came. Under the two paragraphs that amplify the importance of “superfruits” there is a slide show with facts for different fruits. One that stood out to me was the bananas. Bananas are loaded with potassium and can lower blood pressure. They also are one of the best sources of starch which is a healthy carb that fills your stomach and boosts your metabolism! I found this link very helpful and gave me very interesting facts about fruits that I did not know! This will actually inspire me to include more fruits in my diet daily!

Berry fruits are high in antidoxidants that essentially protect cells from damage. However, new research suggests the unique compounds found in berries also benefit motor control and cognition. Guess all those seeds in your teeth are worth something, aye? Via ToriShearon
