Cheese & Onion Pull Apart Loaf

A scrumptious pull apart bread filled with onions, cheese and parsley, with a few yummy additional extras that can be added. See the Notes below. Great with winter soups or summer antipasto, dips and salads. Adapted from a recipe on the Simply Great Meals Club website, and saved here for safe-keeping until I have a chance to make it.

Sunflower Seed Potatoes

A tasty accompaniment to steamed fish, grilled or BBQd meats, which is also low in those fats which are bad for you. The sunflower seeds add texture and crunch as well as a good dose of energy-giving vitamin B1, a vitamin essential to all Zaar addicts spending long hours on the computer. Adapted from a ‘Pan or Wok’ recipe card from International Masters Publishers.

Pear, Kiwi, Berry, Flax Seed Smoothie

I use a Vita-Mix for this. If you are using a blender, grind the flax seed and bee pollen in a coffee grinder first. This is thick – you can eat with a spoon or drink down with a straw. Flax is very high in lignans which have anti-tumor properties, antioxidants of 800 ppm and could mimic the results of Tamoxifen —- the anti-cancer drug for breast cancer… with NO side effects! Flax is one of the richest sources of valuable omega-3 fatty acids about 50% of its fat being omega-3’s, almost twice as much as fish oil! which lower high blood cholesterol and triglyceride. Omega-3’s decrease the probability of a blood clot blocking an artery. They are necessary for visual function, sperm formulation, brain development, and adrenal function. It will lower high blood pressure, and help to decrease allergic response, and may help inflammatory conditions, lower the insulin requirement of diabetics and have been used in the treatment and prevention of arthritis, asthma can be relieved, omega-3’s dissolve tumors. Flax is also a great source of fiber. 25-30 Grams of fiber reduces chances of colon and breast cancer. Try it you’ll like it. Tastes good and it’s good for you!
