Week 2: Healthy Eating Contest: Mood Food.
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.

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!

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!

My go-to food for a super quick energy boost is dolmadekia - grape leaves stuffed with rice. I get them from a nearby restaurant supply store with about 70 of them to a can. A single serving of stuffed grape leaves contains 120mg of Omega 3 and 20.7mg of Omega 6 fatty acids, in addition to a huge amount of other vitamins and minerals. I like to joke that to get more iron in my diet, I'd have to eat a box of nails. Grape leaves are also rich in magnesium (good for diabetics) and zinc (to keep away the 'Rona). They are fine cold, or you can zap a plate of them for 1 minute in the microwave.
Grape leaves are usually served with a dipping sauce called tzatziki. It's very easy to make your own - just take a small container of plain yogurt and mix in a half a teaspoon of minced garlic. For additional zing you can also add a pinch of black pepper or a splash of lemon juice.

I love fish cakes I make them with corn meal, eggs, garlic, pepper, and season salt. Only this time I had to use Tuna fish, however I still get my fish fix and the good Omega 3 for my hearth health, and strong bones. Bonus Mustard for the turmeric and spices. All I had was 2 of these for a mid day snack lifted my mood while helping me stay strong during this it's safer and better to stay home.
