  • Part of homemaking is providing good foods for ourselves and our families. The traditional Italian diet has been touted as one of the healthiest in the world and here we'll explore some common ingredients of Italian cuisine that are easy to work into your diet to reap the health benefits. I show a unique way to use basil as well as showcasing some of the ingredients to make a deliciously easy, nutrient dense salad for a simple lunch or side dish
    I accessed a number of studies to present the information here, though I am not a health professional and encourage you to do your own research :)

    Thank you so much! Hubby had colon cancer almost 5 yrs ago. I told him we are getting a coffee machine and he is going to start drinking! I had to keep pausing to get the ingredients written down for that delicious salad at the end, but I just know it was worth it.

    My last batch of garlic from Costco came from Argentina, good enough, but lots of small cloves. I used my silicone plastic tube to peel them but still struggled.
    I freeze the peeled cloves as well as roast a couple of whole bulbs for the freezer as well

    Olive oil is a great dip/spread for bread, too. My two favorite are 1:1 olive oil and apple cider vinegar (with the "mother"), and olive oil with za'tar.
    You can toast an English muffin/toaster biscuit and dip in the mixture, drizzle it on top, or I'll put some in a shallow dish and lay the toasted muffin face down in it for even coverage.

    Hi Lisa. It was so interesting to hear you speak 🗣️ of the health benifits of Coffee. I make a Keto sweetened allowed, coffee latte daily, in the Vitamix machine.
    After you posted that Delish Tiramisu recipe, for me, I found a Tiramisu Coffee Latte recipe online. Wowzo! Yummy 😋 sounding!
    I also found a Keto recipe to make Keto allowed Lady Fingers, from scratch. Smile. 😊 Thank you for this healthy foods info. Cali Lady.

    Very interesting. My maternal grandparents were Italian and came to the USA. I'm growing three cherry tomato plants this year, which I never do. Could you do a video about canning or freezing tomatoes for the winter? I don't know whether that would have wide appeal, though. I love southern Italian food with the tomatoes, and probably the Americanized versions of them. My relatives were all southern Italian except for Tony, who had married an aunt. He was always referred to as TonyHe'sNorthernItalian at family gatherings.

    Wow, so many delicious ideas here, Lisa.
    Fish, garlic, basil, olive oil, coffee, tomato, and cheese.
    My diet certainly consists of most of these, so I guess I'm good to go.
    Am absolutely loving these videos and look forward to the next one.
    P.S. My face brightened at 8:25 when I saw the mutti passata. We use it all the time! 😊❤💐

    I think I need to get a larger bottle of Olive Oil next time. Living here in Nova Scotia, land of fish and lobster, I'm spoiled. I think I need to start growing some herbs too. I have a ton of dry but like you said, fresh is so much better.😊

  • @Cindy-bee

    Great ideas thank you. Do you have a recommendation for a good pure olive oil? There are so many on the shelves that maybe not authentic pure cold press. Just wondering what your thoughts are.

    • @asimpleseason2616
      @asimpleseason2616  Před 12 dny +2

      anything that says extra virgin in a dark glass bottle should be a decent quality product....I know that Berio is one to potentially avoid since it's blended with different oils

    What is a true good olive oil?

    • @asimpleseason2616
      @asimpleseason2616  Před 14 dny +1

      A good thing to look for is something that says extra virgin in a dark glass bottle …some brands like Berio are a blend with other lesser quality oils and say something to the effect of “light taste” oil

  • @alicerussell8182
    @alicerussell8182 Před 13 dny +1

    I'd like to know what brand of olive oil you use.

    • @asimpleseason2616
      @asimpleseason2616  Před 12 dny

      Most of the time I use Gallo but as long as the bottle says extra virgin olive oil and it's in a dark glass bottle, it should be a decent quality product. Some olive oils say "light tasting" in a clear plastic container and those ones are usually blends with lesser quality oils :)

    • @asimpleseason2616
      @asimpleseason2616  Před 11 dny

      I frothed up a bit of milk to make a cappuccino...most of the time I don't add sugar but many people living in Italy do :)
