Miso-Glazed Peas and Carrots
This sweet, salty and tangy twist on the old standby vegetable combo is sure to please the whole family.
Makes 4 servings, about 2/3 cup each
Ingredients 3 tablespoons miso, preferably white (see Ingredient note)1 tablespoon mirin,2 tablespoons rice vinegar1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil2 cups thinly sliced carrots, fresh or frozen1/4 cup water2 cups frozen peas (8 ounces)
Instructions
Combine miso, mirin, vinegar, ginger and oil in a small bowl.
Place carrots and water in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the miso mixture and peas; cook, stirring occasionally, until the peas are heated through and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
Tips
Ingredient Note: Miso: Fermented bean paste made from barley, rice or soybeans used in Japanese cooking to add flavor to dishes, such as soups, sauces and salad dressings. Miso is available in different colors; in general, the lighter the color, the more mild the flavor. Look for miso alongside the refrigerated tofu in the supermarket. It will keep, in the refrigerator, for more than a year.

Lose weight Fast and Easy
Dieting Myth’s YOU Are STILL Falling For…
There are so many dieting myths and even more programs out there that give you inaccurate information on how to lose weight.
The Following DIETS DO NOT WORK and are PLAIN BAD FOR YOU!
Eating Low Carbs
You have probably tried low-carb, Atkins-style diets, or at least heard of them.
These diets do not work.
They are much too strict, not sustainable, and make your life miserable as your body does not function properly without carbs causing headaches, irritability and loss of sleep.
Low carb diets will actually cause you to gain weight after the initial weight loss.
Low Fat Diets
You know all these so called “low fat” foods that are sold in your local supermarket?
These foods are typically calorie ridden and will actually make you gain more weight!
This is just one of the fallacies that we will uncover for you! Low fat foods DO NOT equal weight loss.
Starvation Diet
Your Body requires food to function. Losing weight the wrong way by not eating is actually worse for you than gaining weight. If you think that following diets that tell you to eat very little, drink only liquids, or something else that seems “crazy”, don’t do it. It will affect the way your brain functions and slow your metabolism down to a GRINDING HALT!
You CANNOT lose weight and stay healthy by starving yourself of nutrition.
Following Pre-package Diet Programs
These foods are worse for you than foods you can make from your own home. Not only that, pre-packaged food diets (like Jenny Craig) can cost you up to $500 per month to maintain!
That is more than most families spend on groceries in an entire month. How does this make sense?
Hollywood Diets
The only diet that seems popular in Hollywood is the one where the actors and actresses forget to eat. There are also the ridiculous “cookie” diets, secret potion “syrup and water’ diets... Let’s get real, these people are not like us and they do not need the nutrition that a normal person needs to maintain a healthy weight.
So, if all of these diets don't work, what does it take to strip unwanted fat from your body?
...And Why the Heck Are YOU Still Overweight?
Do YOU eat the wrong foods?
Do YOU sneak into McDonalds for a late night meal?
Do YOU eat during the wrong times of the day?
Do YOU eat empty calories while watching your favorite TV Show?
How about exercise, do YOU forget to walk your dog?
Notice that 4 of the items were related to food and only one was exercise. This is because diet is 80% of the battle, and exercise is only 20%.
Most overweight people get enough exercise, but what they “eat” prevents them from getting that fit, healthy waistline!
The food you eat will either make you lose weight or gain weight.
Conventional wisdom has always told us to eat our breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday, however there is more to it than this…and actually eating 3 big meals per day is not good for our body.
What if we told you that you could burn more calories and have a better metabolism simply by eating more often? How do 5 meals a day sound?
Well, this is the truth. If you eat smaller meals and eat the right foods, you can actually eat more and lose more weight!
Sounds strange, but our bodies are very complex and if you understand your body, you can truly manipulate your metabolism for speedy and sustainable weight loss!
