Next time you are getting blood tests at the GP, ask to be tested for mercury levels. If they ask why, tell them you eat tuna every day.
Nothing lots of cilantro coupled with organic Chlorella and Spirulina wouldn't take care of. Cilantro to get it moving around and the algae for chelation.
Back to topic -- cilantro is very underrated. I use it in Mexican, Thai and Mediterranean cooking.
Very interesting (regarding the cilantro and chlorella) that one can help mitigate mercury levels with these things. Another reason to eat a varied diet!0 -

Well, she’s American, he’s Russian, and turns out neither of them knew how to make raclette, either. We don’t know how or what to use it for, and have to order a converter anyway. Think, folks, THINK before you gift!!!
Anyway back to underrated foods, hubs bought six boxes of lemon jello instead of pudding by mistake. I loath jello but got tired of looking at them and made some.
Well, hello, Jello!!!!! Look what I’ve been missing. And it’s ten calories a serving?!
My grandparents are raclette fans- they have 6.
They use it for appetizer style dinners and wine. I think its a great idea for people who are keto or okay with bread.
My grandma cuts up small pieces of chicken and beef (steak) and seasons/sauces them. You "grill" them on top and put bread and cheese to melt in the little tray thing. She also does marinated fresh veggies.
It honestly seemed good for appetizer style dinners, but not if there's more then 3-4 people at one "station/grill".
Back to topic-
Spaghetti Squash- its just so versatile assuming i have a knife sharp enough to cut one open haha.

Heavy cleaver with a broad back edge, rubberized dead-blow hammer. Make sure you work enough of a tiny groove to start so the blade won't slip. The worst squashes (some are way harder than spaghetti squash) yield in a couple of blows on opposite sides.0 -

Adding to this... Pumpkin OIL is amazing.

Yes totally agree! My aunt used to make me apricot jam toast as a kid. Still my favorite type of jam/jelly for plain toast.0 -

My Grandparents were all German and ate a lot of this stuff growing up. I'm celiac and there are a few things that just don't exist for us and one is rye bread of any form. I do miss it. I miss a swirled rye with corned beef and swiss cheese. Man. There's one brand that kind of tastes like rye (but not really).1 -

I used to just pick the rye chips out of chex mix and eat them. Then I discovered they made bags of only the rye pieces! I could go for a bag now.0 -
