SPICY VEGGIES | VEGETALES PICANTES





Today it's a great day! I woke up with a huge desire to cook something new, for us, but also for you.

I'm so happy to get back to my kitchen, it has not been easy with my pregnancy. I was not feeling like cooking. All disgusted me. It's really difficult to cook and feel inspired that way.




Searching on my fridge I found some triggerfish fillets (this a rare kind of fish found on the Azorean waters, really hugly and sticky form outside, but delicious to cook and soft inside) , so I decide to create a dish to combine all the flavours, merging a bit of the azorean gastronomy with a glimpse of oriental food but keeping it clean, healthy and easy. 


So I had the fish, a lot of sweet potatoes resting on my pantry and off course, veggies, there is no meal without vegetables !Not possible.

I think the best is to split in 3 posts, so this won't be too long. Also I wnat you to stop by during the week to get the others recipes :)

First Recipe, we will focus on the veggies, why? Just because!!





I used:
Recipe for two.


  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 3 leaves of kale
  • Fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 Christmas bell hot pepper (be careful)
  • Sriracha 
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp tamari sauce
  • Sunflower seeds
Directions:

Chop all vegetables in juliennes. In a non-stick skillet with olive oil to heat, add the carrot and let it cook for a few minutes. Then add the pepper , kale, fresh ginger and  hot peppers. Season it with sea salt, pepper and let all the flavors combine. Finally add the sriracha, honey and tamari sauce. Give it a few minutes more, remove from the heat, adding the sunflower seeds and serve!

Next recipe: OVEN BAKED TRIGGERFISH will be posted on November 11th.
Hope to see you here ;) 





______________________________ESPAÑOL__________________________________


Hoy en día es un gran día! Me desperté con ganas de cocinar algo nuevo, para nosotros, y para ustedes también.
Estoy tan feliz de volver a mi cocina, no ha sido fácil con mi embarazo. No me sentía con ganas de cocinar. Todo me daba asco, mi inspiración estaba en blanco. Realmente no es posible crear algo sin desearlo.

Buscando en mi nevera me encontré con algunos filetes de "peixe porco"o ballesta (un pez muy dificil de encontrar, bastante feo y pegajoso por fuera, pero delicioso para cocinar) ,  así que decidí crear un plato con sabores osados y fusionando un poco la gastronomía azoreana con la oriental. Como siempre saludable y fácil. 

Así que ya tenía la proteína con el pescado; los carbos con mis queridas batatas que nunca me faltan  en la  despensa  y por supuesto, las verduras, no hay comida sin vegetales en mi casa! No es posible.

Comenzaremos con las verduras y dividiré en 3 este almuerzo para que no se extienda mucho y también pata que no me olviden y se pasen  por aquí durante la semana.

LEITE: PREJUDICIAL PARA A SAÚDE | LA LECHE ES PERJUDICIAL PARA LA SALUD



DRINKING MILK IS UNHEALTHY?
LEITE: PREJUDICIAL PARA A SAÚDE
LA LECHE ES PERJUDICIAL PARA LA SALUD

Never been a fan of milk, my dairy diet was really poor and because of that I always thought I had lack of calcium in the bones as many people believe and stands for, because this is the image that society has imposed us, the television influence, the industry and its marketing. Milk was not my biggest concern, but if we talk about derivatives, There you got my weakness: cheese and yogurt. I used to have for breakfast yogurt ( the kind of yogurt they sell to you as being good for your metabolism) and yet always ended up with a swollen belly and belly sick. Initially, I did not know the cause of this was related to yogurt and milk, from all the unhealthy foods I used to eat, yogurt and milk was supposed to be healthy! But no!
When I changed my diet, when I started researching about milk, I decided I had to put them aside my diet and guess what? NEVER EVER AGAIN FEELING SICK! I want to share this information with you because unfortunately there is a lot of ignorance about what we eat. We have to take advantage of the information around the net, read and seek a better way of living, as I did. Less talk and more action! See below some of the reasons why you should not drink milk, (these studies are certified by experts!!).

1 ) No other animal drinks milk after weaning and even less of another kind: Cow's milk is for calves, as breast milk is for newborns. Children are the most affected by the excessive consumption of dairy products, are the most susceptible to respiratory allergies and dermatitis. This happens because milk has a mucogenic character, promoting the secretion of mucus, which facilitates the spread of germs. It also interferes on type I diabetes because of their high glycemic index. 2 ) Contrary to popular belief, milk consumption, rather than avoid, can cause osteoporosis, it can lead to a magnesium deficiency, and acidify the blood, causing the body to eliminate calcium from the bones, increasing loss thereof. How ? As in all animals, milk acidifies the PH of the body which in turn triggers a biological correction. Calcium is an excellent acid neutralizer and the biggest " organ " storage of calcium in the body are the bones. So, the same calcium our bones need to become strong is used to neutralize the effect of acidification of milk. Since calcium is extracted from the bones and excreted in the urine, the result is a surprising lack of calcium. 3 ) The milk neutralizes intestinal acids, important for the absorption of vitamins and minerals, besides favoring the fermentation of pathogens; 4 ) Milk cows are constantly pregnant, leading to large quantities of estrogen and progesterone, which can cause, for example, early puberty. 5 ) It was found that there is a close relationship between the consumption of dairy products (milk , butter, cheese , etc. . ) And several types of cancer , diabetes , osteoporosis , coronary heart disease and other problems associated with allergies and serious intolerances. Such as breast cancer and prostate cancer. This intimate relationship is explained by a greater amount in the body of a substance called insulin - I (IGF - I), which is in cow's milk. This substance can also be found in large quantities in the blood of normal individuals consuming milk.

But this is not the end of the world! Fortunately, there are many products available on the market that replace dairy with a highest percentage of calcium.. My favorite is unsweetened almond milk, not only because it is an alkaline food, but also because it is delicious and has a similar flavor to milk. I even cook with it! If almond milk is difficult to find, you can also try rice milk, soy or spelta. I suggest only use organic soy milk to ensure it is not made with genetically modified soybeans. There is also some controversy about the fermented soy products, so it should be consumed in moderation. 
Other calcium-rich foods are brussel sprouts, broccoli, sesame seeds, pumpkin, carrot, cauliflower, cabbage, beans, chickpeas, lentils, figs, oranges and raisins.

Nunca fui fã de leite, mas sempre achei que tinha défice de cálcio nos ossos pela falta de consumo da mesma. Tal como muitos   (a maioria) acredita e defende, porque é esta a imagem que nos têm imposto na cabeça, a televisão, a industria e o seu marketing.

Leite,  não era o meu maior interesse, mas se falamos de derivados,  ai sim encontraram minha fraqueza, queijo e iogurte. No passado o meu café da manhã era composto por  um iogurte (daqueles que vende a marca com a mensagem de redução de barriga inchada e ajudar o metabolismo) e mesmo assim sempre ficava com a barriga inchada, dor de estômago e mal-estar. Inicialmente, eu não sabia que o que provocava tal mal estar era o iogurte e o  leite, porque de todos os alimentos não saudáveis que ingeria, este alimento era supostamente saudável! Mas não! quando eu mudei a minha alimentação , quando eu comecei a pesquisar este e outros alimentos, eu decidi que o tinha de colocar de lado da minha alimentação e adivinhem? REMÉDIO SANTO !

Quero compartilhar esta informação com vocês, porque infelizmente há muita ignorância sobre a comida que comemos, para de uma vez por todas tirar proveito desta revolução da informação para estudar, ler e procurar uma maneira melhor de viver. Mas menos conversa e mais ação!!. Deixo algumas das razões pelas quais  não se deveria beber leite, bem como alguns estudos comprovados para os que são mais cépticos..

INTRO




Por onde começar? Como e quando começar? Deixar de lado as desculpas , medos e embarcar na busca da satisfação pessoal. Sim, disso mesmo falarei neste blog que nasceu como consequência da minha viagem, desde aquele dia em que mudei o sofá pelos meus tênis de corrida. Deixando os maus hábitos alimentares , lendo e aprendendo todos os dias sobre o meu corpo, aprendendo sobre nutrição e dos benefícios / maldições de alguns alimentos. Mudei a minha vida, a minha rotina e a minha mente para melhor.

Não sou nutricionista, nem treinadoral, não sou profissional em qualquer uma dessas áreas, sou apenas uma entusiasta do fitness, adoro o que a corrida me dá em cada passo e o que as endorfinas fazem por mim.
