Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all who are celebrating this very traditional holiday here in the US.
If you are still searching for party food ideas, I will contribute with links to my previous posts of “green” food recipes for this occasion.
I used to purchase frozen Garlic Bread, or even the fresh one in the bakery section of my grocer.
However, once I tried making it at home, I am sold on it, and it is my favorite accompaniment with pasta dishes, or tossed salads.
It is so simple to make, since you use ready made French Baguette, or Italian Bread.
Making your own pasta is quite simple, and probably much easier than you ever imagined.
It’s even easier with a pasta maker, especially if you want to make spaghetti. However, today I am making it the old fashion way; the way my mom used to make it.
Fresh pasta tastes so much better than the store bought selections, plus how inexpensive it is to make.
We always have been told that eating fish is good for our system, especially due to the Omega-3-Fatty-Acids it contains.
Actually, there is a lot of truth to that, since fish is a low-fat, high protein food.
However, we have to be well-informed shoppers, in order to actually select the fish which is healthy for our consumption.
While shopping for fish, or enjoying it in a restaurant, we should not only pay attention to the type of fish we are selecting, and the price range, but also its origin:
Wild caught, or Farm-Raised/Farm-Bred
Imported, or from USA
