GMO's

6/19/2013

 
Did you know that over 50 Countries have banned the sale of foods containing genetically modified organisms (GMO's)? A GMO is a plant or animal that has been genetically altered to improve its ability to grow in non-native environments, resist bugs, produce more food, or show other desired traits. The process of creating GMOs is highly unpredictable; it’s assumed that if the original food was safe, the genetically modified version will be too. For example, GMO tomatoes now contain fish cells to improve shelf life, the result of this is new allergens being introduced into common foods. Mainstream media is trying to tell us that the consumption of GMO foods is safe; we encourage you to consider the photo below and decide for yourself.

6/17/2013

After a weekend of relaxation, sun and fun it is difficult for us to get back into the regular work week routine. By dinner time we are usually exhausted and not in the mood for preparing an extravagant meal. Last week (while tempted to give in and order take out), I searched "easy baked white fish" and found this recipe on food.com - what a great find! This recipe is easy to prepare, healthy and most importantly delicious! You can add or substitute any fresh herbs you have growing in the garden.

Ingredients
    • 4 white fish fillets, about 1 1/2 lbs total ( cod, halibut, etc.--I used tilapia)
    • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
    • 4 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, crushed
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 large lemon, thinly sliced,seeded,end pieces discarded

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 F and place a heavy baking sheet in oven to preheat as well.
  2. Cut 4 large rectangles of foil or parchment paper and place a fish fillet in the center of each piece.
  3. Combine remaining ingredients except lemon slices in a small bowl and stir well.
  4. Spread mixture evenly over fish, scatter lemon slices on top, and fold the edges of the foil or paper up over each fillet, crimping edges tightly.
  5. Place packaged fish on preheated baking sheet and bake 13-15 minutes, until fish is just cooked through.
  6. Serve fish in packages.
