Welcome to the June / July edition of the newsletter.

Winter is here! I personally don't like the colder weather, but I do love the food that comes with it. Heart warming casseroles, stews, soups and puddings! I hope you find inspiration in this edition.

Vegetable Soup with Roasted Garlic & Chickpeas
|
Domestic Diva: I love making soups in winter! There is something really heart warming and healing about them. Plus, garlic makes everything taste better, I have 10 in this recipe, but you can add more. You can never have enough garlic. Roasting the chickpeas and garlic gives a beautiful rich flavour to the soup.

Fed Up Fact Sheet:
Fish oils, vitamins and vegetables
|
Fish oil is thought to benefit about 30 per cent of children with learning or behaviour problems. Others can be badly affected due to the presence of natural salicylates (in ingredients such as thyme oil, evening primrose oil and lemon or lime flavouring) and natural amines in fish oils. Failsafers have reported adverse reactions including behaviour problems, depression and migraines to a range of fish oil products.
|
Research shows that new vegetables need to be introduced to children about ten times, on average, before they will learn to eat them - so never give up. The best way to get vegetables into difficult kids is to hide them.
|
|
Fruits and vegetables are rich sources of beneficial natural antioxidants not to be confused with nasty synthetic antioxidants like BHA 320. Natural antioxidants can neutralise free radicals known to cause cancer. In 2004, researchers from the US Department of Agriculture rated 130 common foods for the antioxidant power. Three of the top five entries were failsafe. Beans and nuts scored particularly high and of those, red kidney beans are exceptionally good value. Coming in at number three, and as the only dried beans that don't cause wind, they contained more than three times the antioxidant power of apples.
