Cori’s Creations – Salmon Burger Atop Veggies

There’s nothing more fun then being creative with food and eating healthy at the same time. I had bought frozen salmon burgers to just keep in the freezer for a quick, easy meal. An easy way to eat a salmon burger is to eat it like a regular hamburger, but since I like to get creative, I experimented a little.

You can either buy the frozen salmon burgers or you can make your own. I haven’t attempted that yet but plan on it. I’m not that crazy about the frozen ones , could be the brand though. Ok on to creating. (serving based on 1 person)
Now the veggies can be switched if you don’t like something you can replace it with something else or just leave it out.

1 salmon burger
sliced onion ( use as much or little as you like)
half a red pepper sliced in long thin pieces
half a yellow pepper sliced in long thin pieces
about a ¼ cup of broccoli
shredded mozzarella
grated parmesan cheese
Olive oil

In a small pan cook the salmon burger. After it’s cooked take off the heat and sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Then cover the pan for a few minutes so the cheese melts on top of it.

In another pan heat some olive oil on medium heat. Put in sliced onions, peppers and broccoli and sauté. Pour a little more olive oil on so it doesn’ tseem dry. I add a little bit of salt for flavor, you can use no salt or any other seasoning to your liking. Keep mixing the veggies so they don’t burn, and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes. I like the veggies a little crunchy with the salmon burger so I don’t cook them too long. Spread veggies on a plate, put a little more olive oil over them and then sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top. Place the salmon burger on top of the veggies and dig in !

You get your protein with the salmon burger, your carbohydrates with your veggies, protein and fat with the cheeses and more healthy fat with the olive oil. It’s a well rounded meal; satisfying, healthy and delicious.

What better way to change your style of eating to a more healthy way then to be creative, enjoy experimenting. Smile your way into a better eating style for yourself.

Oral Allergy Syndrome: Are Fruits and Veggies Giving you an Itchy Mouth?

Another great post from itchylittleworld.com – Natural remedies for eczema to soothe your itchy little world..

What Is Oral Allergy Syndrome?

Oral Allergy syndrome, also known as Pollen Food Syndrome, is a mild allergic reaction to fruits and vegetables that have similar proteins found in certain pollens. Some of the most common foods that cause this type of syndrome can be found here:

Oral Allergy Syndrome Food List

Spring (trees)

  • Apples
  • Apricots
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • Cherry
  • Kiwis

Summer (grasses)

  • Cantaloupe
  • Tomatoes
  • Watermelon
  • Honeydew

Fall (weeds)

  • Bananas
  • Zucchini
  • Cucumber
  • Peaches

What Are the Signs of Oral Allergy Syndrome aka Pollen Food Syndrome?

If you already experience allergic reactions to common pollen allergens AND are experiencing swelling of the mouth or lips, itchy roof of mouth, tongue, or throat, especially after eating raw food, then you might have Oral Allergy Syndrome. Keep in mind that reactions from Pollen Food Syndrome are always mild, so if your symptoms get worse then it’s always best consulting an allergist for further testing and treatment. And if you have difficulty breathing or experience an emergency, call 911 directly.

How to Treat Oral Allergy Syndrome

Although you can take oral antihistamine medications to relieve mild symptoms, avoiding raw foods that cross-react with your pollen allergies might be the best choice. Take another look at the list above to identify which foods cross react with each pollen. Usually it’s pretty easy to identify which raw food is triggering a reaction, but in case it’s not, you can always run an elimination diet with the help of your physician, so that you can figure out which foods you are reacting to. To learn more about elimination diets, check out our post: Our Eczema Elimination Diet Success (How You Can Do It Too!).

Lastly, if you can’t seem to avoid the fruit or veggies trigging your itchy mouth, you can always cook the food to degrade the protein that causes the allergy or peel off the skin of the fruit or veggie since many fruit and vegetable proteins are concentrated in the skin.
