PCOS and Jicama (Mexican Turnip): A Nutritious Addition to Your Diet
Discover how jicama, a low-glycemic root vegetable, can benefit women with PCOS. Learn about its nutritional value and delicious ways to incorporate it into your diet.
This sugar free tomato sauce is so easy that there is no need to buy jarred sauce and it tastes great on top of chicken and roasted veggies.
This recipe includes superfoods such as:
Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
1/2 cup parmesean cheese, grated
1 tsp leaves basil
1 tsp leaves oregano
1 dash black pepper
1 tsp leaves thyme
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 tsps minced garlic
1 can tomato paste
28 oz diced tomatoes, canned
1 5 fl oz serving red wine
1. Use a large deep skillet to sauté fresh or jarred finely chopped garlic in the extra virgin olive oil over medium high heat.
2. When garlic is cooked (approx 1 to 2 minutes) lower heat and add the crushed tomatoes (2 cans) and tomato paste (1 can). Keep stirring until completely mixed together.
3. Stir in all of the dried spices- basil, thyme and oregano. Add a dash of pepper to taste.
4. Stir in a small glass of wine approx 1/3 of a cup if you prefer to measure. Lower heat now to lowest setting. (Use balsamic vinegar instead of wine if you want less carbs...it tastes just as good).
5. Stir in the grated parmesean cheese. I sometimes will use 3/4 cup because my family loves cheese.
6. Cover skillet and let simmer over lowest heat setting for 20 to 30 minutes. Give it a good stir about 3 times during the simmer time.
