Request
Honored
Tattered
And
Torn

From Tracey



I saw the request for the red bean dip/spread over on the other site. I still have that little red book, all tattered and torn, but I have it. The closest thing I could find was this recipe for a red bean sandwich:

1 can dark red kidney beans
1 small onion
3 T. catsup
1/8 t. cayenne pepper
herb salt
freshly ground pepper
tabasco sauce to taste
8 slices whole grain bread

Blend first seven ingredients in a food processor, adding more catsup if needed for desired consistency. Spread on toasted whol grain bread and top with sliced tomato, onion and your favorite vegetables.

Enjoy

I’m sitting with my ginger and honey tea, having just had a lovely dinner of roasted red peppers (stuffed with brown rice, tofu and red chili peppers) topped with parsley.
Then, I found out what just some of that means to my body. All of it available, all of it simple and all of it, a privilege.

And now it’s time for, the first susanpowteronline.com cook off!

Make it up, mix it up - send in your recipes using these three beautiful, bountiful ingredients or, find your own spices, foods and toppings and send it in.

Let the cook off begin!

Susan Powter


Parsley:
Health Benefits: Chief among parsley's beneficial properties is its ability to fight cancer. Animal studies have shown that it can inhibit tumor formation, particularly in the lungs. It's also known to neutralize carcinogens including those found in cigarette smoke and charcoal grill smoke.
Parsley is also a rich source of antioxidants and heart-protective nutrients including vitamin C, beta-carotene and folic acid.
How it's Used: Parsley comes in two popular varieties, curly and flat leaf. Fresh parsley is more flavorful than the dried variety. The curly version tends to have a more intense flavor than the flat-leaf variety. Use it in soups, salads and casseroles, or to top fish, meat, potatoes, vegetables and more.
Interesting Tidbit: Parsley is a great breath freshener at the end of a meal.


Red Chili Peppers
Health Benefits: These peppers, which include the popular cayenne pepper, contain capsaicin, an anti-inflammatory compound that helps with pain relief. Chili peppers have been found to help:
• Clear congestion by clearing mucus from the lungs and nose
• Boost immunity
• Prevent stomach ulcers by killing bacteria
• Help with weight loss
• Reduce blood cholesterol, triglyceride levels and platelet aggregation
• Prevent cancers, including stomach cancer
• Relieve pain
How it's Used: Chili peppers are, of course, great in Mexican dishes, but that's not all. Try them with other vegetables, tuna salad, chili, corn bread, dips, curries, soups, sauces and more.
Interesting Tidbit: The hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin it contains. Some of the hottest chili peppers out there are the habañero, Scotch bonnet, and jalapeño peppers.


Ginger
Health Benefits: The active ingredient in ginger is gingerol, a compound that's thought to relax blood vessels, stimulate blood flow and relieve pain. It's commonly used as a digestive aid and contains compounds that ease motion sickness and nausea and inhibit vomiting. This makes it a helpful spice for morning sickness or for people suffering from the side effects of chemotherapy.
Ginger is also an anti-inflammatory, which means it may be useful in fighting heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease and arthritis. Plus, it's high in antioxidants that fight all kinds of diseases.
How it's Used: Ginger can be used freshly ground from the root (see picture) in Asian dishes, as well as in any type of meat, seafood or vegetable dish. Ginger is commonly served along with sushi. Dried ground ginger is typically used in desserts and baking (gingerbread cookies, etc.), and it's also available candied and pickled. Fresh ginger root can also be used to make a soothing ginger tea.
Interesting Tidbit: The health benefits of ginger were documented over 2,000 years ago!

Thanks to a secret slaughterhouse video that went ballistic last week, the USDA has finally seen fit to issue a massive recall for 143 million pounds of beef that may be contaminated with mad cow disease (a fact that, of course, shall remain entirely unmentioned by the USDA and the MSM). Unfortunately, they forget to mention that most of the beef being recalled has already been consumed by schoolchildren because it was sold at bulk-rate discounts to school lunch programs! Ya just gotta love these USDA num-nuts, huh? The best way to protect the profits of the beef industry is to wait until everybody has already eaten the beef before you issue the recall!

Today, we bring you a feature article that will rock your world if you're still eating beef. Learn more about not only mad cow disease, but also "energetic contamination" of beef products, and why eating beef makes people angry, fearful and violent. Click the headline below to read:
