]]> Out of all the amazing foods out there to eat, one of the healthiest is broccoli. It might not be the easiest thing to convince your child to eat, but there’s a reason it’s so good for them. Like many other veggies, broccoli is a cornerstone of a well-balanced and healthy diet, and here’s what makes it so good for you.

Full of Nutrients

Every growing body needs its share of good nutrients, and that’s something that broccoli has in spades. Whether it’s vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, vitamin K, and vitamin C, or potassium and manganese, broccoli has no shortage of things that are good for you.

Antioxidants

Speaking of vitamin C, it’s one of the many properties that broccoli has that works as an antioxidant. Other such properties within broccoli include that of beta-carotene and other phytonutrients. All of these things help reduce stress and prevent chronic diseases.

Cancer Prevention

On the topic of disease prevention, there have been studies that have linked broccoli with cancer prevention. This is because it has components such as sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol, which can help reduce risk for cancer. If all of that’s not enough, broccoli is also helpful at promoting heart health.

There are many amazing dishes that will make you see this veggie in a whole new light, and Nisha of Cooking For Peanuts shared quite a few on her blog.

Broccoli and Chickpeas Sauce

Chickpeas are one of Nisha’s go-to vegan ingredients, and she couldn’t resist mixing them up with broccoli. She brought the best out of this combo with a delicious white sauce.

Veggie Loaded Sweet Potatoes

If you still haven’t discovered the magic of stuffed potatoes, now’s the time to give them a try. You can fill them with all your favorite veggies, such as broccoli, sautΓ©ed bell peppers, and mushrooms.

Tofu and Broccoli Stir Fry

Tofu and broccoli are Nisha’s favorite vegan combo, and she often shares recipes with these two ingredients. She enjoys serving them with homemade stir-fry sauce that takes their flavor to a whole new level.

Crispy Roasted Broccoli

You can serve roasted broccoli with pretty much anything, and Nisha doesn’t shy away from mixing them up with all sorts of different ingredients. She opted for potatoes with tahini dressing, BBQ chickpeas, and avocados this time around.

]]> Boosting your immune system is a smart move during the current global health situation. While there’s no substitute for social distancing and mask use, consuming a diet that helps your immune system stay in peak shape sure doesn’t hurt either.

Veggies are a great source of immune-boosting compounds like Vitamin C and antioxidants, and here are three that you should consider adding to your diet for this fall and winter season.

Bell Peppers

Bell peppers are great as an addition to salad, in fajitas, or even when used as a shell for a β€œstuffed” Italian-inspired dish. What’s great about this vegetable is that they are chock full of Vitamin C which can help keep you sickness-free.

Broccoli

Broccoli is a classic food that’s used in all kinds of dishes and prepared in all kinds of ways, but not many know about its health advantages. Several antioxidant-boosting phytochemicals can be found in this veggie, including glucobrassicin and beta-carotene. These work together to boost your body’s immune response.

Spinach

Spinach has always been lauded as healthy, but did you know that it’s especially effective as an immune system booster? That’s right, as spinach contains high doses of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. Use it sauteed or in salads!

]]> Are you a dog owner? If so, it’s likely that your furry friend has hounded you at the kitchen or dinner table for a bite of whatever food that you might be eating. Keeping our pets healthy is certainly a priority, which might give you pause and make you avoid sharing your food with your pet.

Vegetables, however, are generally pretty safe for pups. Check out these three that you can both enjoy without any fear of hurting your dog.

Carrots

Carrots are completely healthy for dogs, which is good because they sure are delicious! You can give your pet pieces of this tasty veggie as long as they are bite-sized, ensuring that he or she won’t choke on them.

Broccoli

Broccoli is also safe for dogs, and its high fiber content can even help them if they are having digestive issues. Be sure to give them raw broccoli or broccoli that hasn’t been cooked in oil or with extra ingredients, as these can harm them.

Cucumbers

Good news: cucumbers are also safe for dogs to eat! They will not only be a crunchy green treat for your four-legged friend, but they can also give them a hydration boost, which owners with dogs that are finicky about drinking water will find especially useful.

  1. Start boiling water and cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Before you put the pasta in the water, make sure you add a ton of salt for flavor.
  2. Once the pasta goes in the water, you can also put in the broccoli florets. By boiling them before they cook again, they retain their green color and will saute faster.
  3. After a couple of minutes, take the broccoli out and start sauteing it in a pan so it gets a little crispier.
  4. In another pan, heat some olive oil and cook some diced garlic and red chili flakes. Add in regular or vegan butter, white wine, salt, and pepper and cook together for a few minutes.
  5. Once the pasta is done, add immediately to the sauce, and toss in the broccoli as well.
  6. Combine for about a minute as all the flavors meld together.
  7. Serve and enjoy!

]]> Broccoli is one of those veggies that people either love or hate, and if you still haven’t discovered its magic, it’s because you’re not preparing it properly. There are many amazing dishes that will make you see this veggie in a whole new light, and Nisha of Cooking For Peanuts shared quite a few on her blog.

Broccoli and Chickpeas Sauce

Chickpeas are one of Nisha’s go-to vegan ingredients, and she couldn’t resist mixing them up with broccoli. She brought the best out of this combo with a delicious white sauce.

Veggie Loaded Sweet Potatoes

If you still haven’t discovered the magic of stuffed potatoes, now’s the time to give them a try. You can fill them with all your favorite veggies, such as broccoli, sautΓ©ed bell peppers, and mushrooms.

Tofu and Broccoli Stir Fry

Tofu and broccoli are Nisha’s favorite vegan combo, and she often shares recipes with these two ingredients. She enjoys serving them with homemade stir-fry sauce that takes their flavor to a whole new level.

Crispy Roasted Broccoli

You can serve roasted broccoli with pretty much anything, and Nisha doesn’t shy away from mixing them up with all sorts of different ingredients. She opted for potatoes with tahini dressing, BBQ chickpeas, and avocados this time around.

]]> Boosting your immune system is a smart move during the current global health situation. While there’s no substitute for social distancing and mask use, consuming a diet that helps your immune system stay in peak shape sure doesn’t hurt either.

Veggies are a great source of immune-boosting compounds like Vitamin C and antioxidants, and here are three that you should consider adding to your diet for this fall and winter season.

Bell Peppers

Bell peppers are great as an addition to salad, in fajitas, or even when used as a shell for a β€œstuffed” Italian-inspired dish. What’s great about this vegetable is that they are chock full of Vitamin C which can help keep you sickness-free.

Broccoli

Broccoli is a classic food that’s used in all kinds of dishes and prepared in all kinds of ways, but not many know about its health advantages. Several antioxidant-boosting phytochemicals can be found in this veggie, including glucobrassicin and beta-carotene. These work together to boost your body’s immune response.

Spinach

Spinach has always been lauded as healthy, but did you know that it’s especially effective as an immune system booster? That’s right, as spinach contains high doses of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. Use it sauteed or in salads!

]]> Are you a dog owner? If so, it’s likely that your furry friend has hounded you at the kitchen or dinner table for a bite of whatever food that you might be eating. Keeping our pets healthy is certainly a priority, which might give you pause and make you avoid sharing your food with your pet.

Vegetables, however, are generally pretty safe for pups. Check out these three that you can both enjoy without any fear of hurting your dog.

Carrots

Carrots are completely healthy for dogs, which is good because they sure are delicious! You can give your pet pieces of this tasty veggie as long as they are bite-sized, ensuring that he or she won’t choke on them.

Broccoli

Broccoli is also safe for dogs, and its high fiber content can even help them if they are having digestive issues. Be sure to give them raw broccoli or broccoli that hasn’t been cooked in oil or with extra ingredients, as these can harm them.

Cucumbers

Good news: cucumbers are also safe for dogs to eat! They will not only be a crunchy green treat for your four-legged friend, but they can also give them a hydration boost, which owners with dogs that are finicky about drinking water will find especially useful.

When I was a young warthog I’d spend half of the school holidays at my Nona’s house, and I learned pretty quickly that EVERY meal included pasta. Every. Single. Night. Well a few weeks back we dinned at @lorimer_market and with dishes like these classics, the memories came flooding back.

  1. Start boiling water and cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Before you put the pasta in the water, make sure you add a ton of salt for flavor.
  2. Once the pasta goes in the water, you can also put in the broccoli florets. By boiling them before they cook again, they retain their green color and will saute faster.
  3. After a couple of minutes, take the broccoli out and start sauteing it in a pan so it gets a little crispier.
  4. In another pan, heat some olive oil and cook some diced garlic and red chili flakes. Add in regular or vegan butter, white wine, salt, and pepper and cook together for a few minutes.
  5. Once the pasta is done, add immediately to the sauce, and toss in the broccoli as well.
  6. Combine for about a minute as all the flavors meld together.
  7. Serve and enjoy!
