Recipes that will save you time and boost your health

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

A Concord Monitor article suggests nutritious snacks that take little time, including golden coconut curry and healthy vegetables like butternut squash and baby spinach.



Leaves fall from trees and perennial weeds allow their above-ground vegetation to wither, weaving a blanket for the living roots that stay dormant through the cold months. School is in full swing, apples ask to be picked, festivals call for attendance and gardens beg to be cleaned. Fortunately, modern conveniences have evolved to complement the complications of modern schedules. Precut butternut squash removes the time-consuming hassle of peeling and cubing the flesh of this savory sweet autumn favorite, and canned beans save hours of time and electricity or gas on the stove. All good things on their own, and when put together, little food is left on the plate after mealtime. Coconut milk is high in saturated fat, but just as there are good and bad types of cholesterol, there are good and bad types of saturated fats. It is less likely to cause obesity or heart problems than many other types of saturated fats, as there is little to none left over for storage or clogging the arteries. The optional spices are not necessary, but recommended, and will make a useful addition to any spice rack. Add cumin and coriander to bean dishes and cornbreads for an authentic Mexican or Indian flavor. Saut� black mustard seeds with chopped green cabbage and olive oil until the leaves are soft and glistening for a quick and scrumptious meal. Heat pan large enough to hold all ingredients on medium high, add oil.
