I love goulash, almost every recipe I’ve ever tasted, and this particular rendition from Brenda J. Ponichtera looks to be especially healthy, even good for diabetic menus.  The dish is a complete meal if you so desire, or you can  add rolls to help sop up the tasty tomato sauce!

The shows are fun to watch as they follow Tamra shopping with her cute little boys, or doing yoga while one of the boys keeps climbing on her, and then there’s the food.  Yum.

In most cases, the “super” in so-called superfoods are due to their high antioxidant content. These antioxidants have been documented to help fight cancer, heart disease, aging and degenerative diseases, and many other ailments.

The menus are categorized based on the main pigment, and thus the primary antioxidant flavonoid present. Click to see the recipes for:
