There are no “magic bullets,” but there are healthy ingredients that make a difference in your diet. Flax seed is one such ingredient in my pantry, as well as flax seed oil. I love the flavor of the oil and it gives a twist to the old stand-by recipes, like in this Flax Oil Pesto! The seeds are a staple in my breads and sometimes my casserole dishes too. I always put it in my granola, crackers and have even experimented with it in cookies. It’s versatility and health benefits can be found on practically any and every website touting nutrition or baking. Since I tout both, this is my contribution.

In 2005, thirty-five Swedish households were asked to keep a diary about food purchasing and usage habits. 44.1% of all root vegetables were wasted after storage.* This was second only to dairy products. Based on the number of potato eyes staring at me from my food storage, I would guess that Americans are experiencing the same results. Temperature is not the only factor, and not all root vegetables need the same thing. Do you know how to properly store root vegetables?

Christmas came and went this year with splendid simplicity and great memories with family and friends. Chaya and I took some time to pick up some books that are perpetually on the night stand throughout some of the busier parts of the year. One topic that has always been of interest to us here at Pantry Paratus is the subject of Home Economics, and so I was especially curious when I came across a tweet by Michael Pollan citing this Huffington Post article.

I started beekeeping with two hives, and one was very calm and docile. The other? Uh, no, turns out they were Africanized and put me into the hospital. That’s another story you can read about here. But until we actually figured it out, we were finding ourselves with stings from just “more aggressive than normal” bees. Of everything we tried to soothe our skin, our family found Yarrow to be the most effective non-drowsy option.
