Week 2: MOOD FOOD: Include one omega-3-rich food in your diet every day this week, June 8-14, 2020.

 

Omega-3 fatty acids are important for the structure and function of the nervous system. Deficiencies in omega-3s are connected to cognitive and mood disorders. Include omega-3-rich foods such as mackerel, salmon, herring, oysters, anchovies, flaxseeds, chia seeds and walnuts in your diet every day to give your brain a boost.

      I love finding recipes that are delicious and a little off-beat.  When I saw this recipe for sardines and celery salad, with jammy eggs, I ordered sardines (in soybean oil) in bulk (6 tins) for delivery by a warehouse store, and went to work!  Not only did I make this recipe, but I recollected that my mother used to saute onions, hot green peppers and soy sauce with sardines -- which was a terrific Korean dish to serve with rice -- and made that as well.  Omega-3 never tasted so good!

      I love salmon patties with lemon dill sauce. A great source of omega-3.

              I am trying to turn over a new leaf by eating better.  Here I have for lunch a Marble-Jack cheese wrap with pepperoni, mayo, and trilogy (flax, chia, hemp seeds).  I also like using the Parmesan cheese wraps.

                  Enhanced yogurt "parfait", with omega-3 foods.

                  Usually I just dump fruit & flax into my yogurt, but today I was inspired. Includes non-dairy coconut yogurt, mixed with chia seeds, layered with ground flax seeds & granola, fresh blueberries, strawberries, mango chunks. I ran out of walnuts, so topped with slivered almonds for some crunch.

                  If I had planned better, would've strained the yogurt overnight so it would be thicker; as is, it kind of ran together, so the layers aren't visible.

                  Still delicious!
