Anti-Inflammatory Foods

     I thought this was worth sharing. It's really in line with my own philosophy about food, and very indicative about what I am trying to do with my eating and cooking this year. Getting my own health in check is one of my top goals for the year. It's also pretty well-done, you can click on each level of the pyramid for more information. The only thing here that really surprised me was the caution to avoid raw commercial button mushrooms, which I've been eating a lot of for years. Does anyone know why he's saying that? I'm guessing he's claiming they have inflammatory effects on the body, but I'd like to know why.  Dr. Weil's Anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid. (Please rest assured that I have not tried and am not endorsing Dr. Weil's products, I just like the food pyramid a lot.)
     Culinary escapades this past weekend were a pizza party at home with the kids where they got to choose their own toppings from an assortment of cheeses, veggies, and herbs, omega 3 French toast with fresh blackberries and walnut sauce, a shrimp quesidilla and shrimp pad thai while out and about (it's shrimp season here in New England!), and home cooked fresh smelts. More coming on that last one, including photos, soon....
