Tracey with Carolyn Eastman from Eastman's Local Catch

We had a super evening feasting on some very fresh “local” fish that Carolyn Eastman brought for the “feasting on fish” cooking and wellness class. Featured on the menu were fish tacos, fish chowder, fish cakes and some Asian fish roasted in parchment paper. Here are some pics!  Keep an eye out for Eastman’s Fish at the Seacoast Eat Local’s Winter Farmers’ Markets starting this Saturday November 20 at the Wentworth Greenhouses in Rollingsford. The fist one in Exeter will be on December 4.

Thanks to Suzie Snow for hosting a cooking and wellness class on “Boosting Your Child’s Immune System,” this past Thursday! We talked, we ate and we fought off foreign invaders (bacteria and viruses that is!)

We had wonderful teas, soups, salmon cakes, greens with a ginger miso dressing, red lentil dhal with turmeric and more!  Dr. Margaux French from Giving Tree Natural Health enlightened us all with some amazing natural remedies for fighting off colds and flus!

We talked about how boost your immune system with food and what actually like suppresses your immune system’s ability to fight off nasty bugs. I know how bad sugar is for us, but something that Marguax said really struck me, “sugar paralyzes your immune system for up to three hours after you eat it.” Think about that the next time your child wants a sugary treat. Let’s all get through the winter with no more colds and flus!
