Notes from the Chef, December 21, 2011: Winter’s Here!
Today is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, so Gastronaut has made a warm delicious meal to keep away those winter chills! Have a comforting bowl of hearty beef stew with grass-fed, free-range beef, with a wild rice pilaf and steamed broccoli. Wild rice is actually a species of grass with edible seeds, native to China and North America. It’s high in protein and the amino acid lysine and low in fat. It is also a good source of certain minerals and B vitamins. Enjoy tonight’s dinner, and keep warm!
