Sydney Morning Herald wrote about ten superfoods you should cram into your day if possible:

This week so far I’ve had blueberries (fresh - they’re in season and very well priced at $4 at Harris Farm and Woolllies this week), lentils (in soup), broccoli in stir fries and barley in my soup too. Not bad!
Celebrity Masterchef is on Wednesdays, Channel 10 at 7:30pm
Top Chef Las Vegas is on Mondays, Arena TV at 8:30pm. I can’t wait!!!!
Just read a very helpful article from SMH on how to cut down on carbs.

Some very good ideas I totally agree with. I just had a vege soup for lunch to which I added lentils and a tiny bit of pasta to create that full feeling. And I certainly was full! But since it’s just been SO COLD lately - as soon as I stepped outside for a walk - I immediately imagined myself to be hungry. I don’t think it’s possible to deny a body’s craving for more calories to burn to stay warm! But I definitely like the idea of having the carbs in moderation and having them at lunch. Thanks alot to Dr Atkins for creating the solution to weight gain, but no thanks for making my favourite comfort food group the baddie!
With the start of the new year there are whole host of food related programmes to drool over! Most anticipated for me is Top Chef New York (Season 5) - which looks extra fiesty, and with very good looking people; and American Iron Chef!! Both are on Foxtel - Fox8 and Lifestyle Food respectively. Sadly I have to park myself at someone else’s TV to catch the latter - but from the ads I can’t seem to work out if Jamie Oliver is the challenger or the Iron Chef! all will be revealed tonight at 8:30pm.
As for Top Chef - last season was a very close call between molecular gastronomic perfectionist Richard Blaze (my personal favourite to win) and Stephanie - the refreshing person who’s actually nice to everyone and not a backstabber!
Locally - they will be starting a version of Masterchef. Quick - entries close on the 9th of January! Register here:
