Sugar

Sugar, Sugar Everywhere
Tis the season for hooking you on sugar.
Getter hyper-jazzed on sugar is optional.

Christmas is a holiday about new beginnings and the magic and wonder of ordinary life. Intentionally placed at the winter solstice, Christmas, like the solstice marks the end of the ever shortening days. Finally, the days are getting longer again. Still it is the dark time, and a time to cheer each other. So, off we go retail treasure-hunting and stuffing ourselves with sugar. We are easy prey for merchants of all stripes who coat the checkout with sugar in its many forms seductively dressed in both nostalgia and novelty. Peppermint bark, and other “sugarplums” so everywhere, so obtainable, promise to fulfill longings you didn’t know you had. 

Do you resist? Are you successfully avoiding candy, cookies, and the like? If so, does it leave you feeling left out?

Want a simple treat without damaging your health in the process?
Try ultra humble and easy baked apples (see post with recipe)

Tip: good food tastes best when you are hungry. Brain-numbing sugars, on the other hand, excite the senses even when you are full and over-fed. This turns “food” into an addictive substance from which you have no natural defenses. You need a plan for maintaining your sanity, waist-line, and good sense.

Cauliflower

Cauliflower

01KITCHEN2-articleLargeCelebrate a low-oxalate favorite of mine, cauliflower. See the NYTimes’s (David Tanis) praise of the mild-flavored, versatile, low-oxalate, low-carb Cauliflower. Cauliflower also keeps well both in the raw state and cooked as a left-over. It is a convenient, make-ahead vegetable. Cooked, 1/2 cup contains only about 2.7mg oxalate; this is about 1/10 of the amount of oxalate in potato. When seasoning your cauliflower dish, skip high-oxalate spices like turmeric. Instead use low-oxalate seasonings such as garlic, mustard, lemon, and ginger.
