Re: health benefits of parsley and cilantro yeah these herbs posted ob do sound like scarborough fair, lol. but yep good for salad, i do herbs like oregano parlsley thyme basil sage a good green herb to flavor salad yes. garlic powder (or minced fresher garlic i a jar, added to one of these preferably fresh zip. mint can also be added to a sald to make it more interesting. i also like sunflower seeds in it, they are food replacement for croutons. (almond slivewrs quite tastey too, or garbanzo beans, even red kidney beans or black beans for protein).another thing like to enjoy is acorn squash, butternut, and even spaghetti squash the first two, ca use cinnamon all spice, ad nutmeg, use stevia or hopey or something like slepnda or agave nectar to sweeten. of course, i use butter but can chosse olive oil if prefer. bake on 400 for about an hour or 450, until crispy golden brown. the spaghetti one butter can top with sauce, and spices a little paresian cheese. jan gave me the idea for smoothies i get the big tubs of the more natural yogurt vanilla or plain shall do. with the smoothies, can add honey agave nectar, stevia or splenda. chop fruit into small pieces, and blend in pulses on ice breaker mode. then can slowly add ice, and herbs like all spice, nutmeg cinamon if desired. you may use jans wonderful recipie for yogurt. i myself leave the peels on apples and pears, can add banas berries kiwis grapes whatever you like, blueberries. this is good way to get fruit and probiotics. you can also freeze to make own icecream.
