About Mojo Mole

By on May 13th, 2010

Well hello there, people of the Internet. I see you have stumbled upon my little piece of the web. What is this blog, you ask? Heck if I know. I’ll be honest with you here, I’m still not entirely sure what I want to include on this site. It’s really just going to be bits and pieces on different subjects that I feel like writing about that day. Since this could include nearly anything, and you’re probably just dying to know what will be encompassed on this blog, I’ll try and give you a general picture.

I’m pretty much a normal person, so I’m not going to be blogging about anything too bizarre. That being said, I do love myself a bit of weird news every here and there. Makes my life feel more normal, if you know what I mean. I love, and I mean love, to cook! I don’t do anything too fancy, but what I do cook I will share with you here. Oh, you want me to be more specific? Well, if you insist. Just a few of the recipes I’ve tackled as of late include grilled bacon jalapeno wraps (see image to the right), blueberry-lemon parfait, and baja-style fish tacos. Can you say delicious? I know I can.

Needless to say that all of this food can sometimes get greasy. And salty. And high in cholesterol and saturated fats and sodium and everything else that the diet channel warns you against. Since I like to eat the food that I cook, I try to maintain an extremely healthy lifestyle on absolutely all other friends. Yes, I do enjoy the occasional couch-potato night as much as everyone else, but overall I would consider me a very health-conscious person.  And once you get to know me so will you, too.

We start by cleaning and cutting into slices mushrooms. The poached lightly in a skillet with a little olive oil and some salt. Reserve.

In the same pan, toast the bread, with onions and garlic. The same site will remove the mushrooms.

The wet mass of mushrooms is particularly suitable for meat sauce. And that’s how I’ve eaten a piece of bread, a piece of meat and a spoonful of salsa. There should be very thick, but light Tampoe. In this case the average is virtue.

By on May 13th, 2009

We are all aware about importance of vitamins in our body. We frequently talk about vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin D and we rarely discuss vitamin K. Actually, vitamin K is equally important as the other vitamins in our body and you should be aware about advantages of vitamin K. Deficiency of vitamin K creates many problems in our body and one of the most undesirable physical conditions with deficiency of vitamin K is the increased possibilities of acquiring cancer in our body.

Vitamin K can help improve the strength of your bones. Deficiency of vitamin K can give you weaker bones and extended time in repair when your bones are broken. If you need strong bones, then you should eat vitamin K in your diet in proper quantity. Vitamin K prevents osteoporosis.

Vitamin K also helps in blood clotting. It also helps in maintaining your blood cholesterol, but be careful before increasing the quantity of vitamin K in your diet, you should consult your doctor before increasing quantity of vitamin K in your diet because excess amount of vitamin K can increase your blood cholesterol too. Vitamin K also helps in preventing certain types of cancer.

Vitamin K is found in these foods – asparagus, black strap molasses, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, wheat, oatmeal, oats, rye, safflower oil, soybean oil, canola oil, olive oil, coffee, leaf lettuce, dark green leafy vegetables, soy beans, yogurt, egg yolks, chicken, and bacon. The biggest source of vitamin K is kale.
