It's been an awfully long time since I posted a Nom of the Week, but I'm working on getting back into a rhythm now that things are calming down a bit!⠀
So, without further ado... here is a quick Nom of the Week to recommend to your pregnant mommas or to cook up for yourself!⠀
High-risk mamas need to pay extra attention to their health, so this week, we are boosting the immune system with a dose of raw garlic. Garlic is high in vitamin B6, vitamin C, and manganese; it may also be helpful for high blood pressure. (Take that preeclampsia!) Plus, as my momma always said, you can NEVER have too much garlic!⠀
WAYS TO EAT:⠀
-Try sauteing sardines with onion and Dijon mustard, then serve over brown rice.⠀
-Cook some sardines in tomato sauce and serve over whole-wheat pasta⠀
-Make up a sardine salad (think; tuna salad, just with sardines) with plain yogurt, mustard, raw apple cider vinegar, and scallions.⠀
-For all you vegetarian mamas, great plant-sources of omega-3s include flaxseed oil, chia seeds, and hemp hearts. Next week, we will have a veggie nom for ya!⠀
