Cheap health foods was the topic last week on the Dr. Oz show and I applaud his guest Dr. Hyman for profiling some of the best:

• adzuki beans
• daikon
• black rice
• canned salmon
• dark meat chicken

The aftershow clip also included sardines, kale and pumpkin seeds. They’re all super-duper nutritious and cost less than $1 per serving. Easy meals to make with these include:

• Saute garlic in olive oil, toss in some sardines (you have to give these a try!), mix in some cooked black rice and spoon onto a bed of sauteed kale.

• Boost your rice and beans by sauteing onions and a little garlic; add adzuki beans, season with a splash of white vinegar and hot pepper flakes to taste and mix with cooked black rice.

• Toss salad greens and your favorite chopped veggies with sliced daikon and canned salmon.

• Make up snack bags with pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries.

What meal ideas are you inspired to make? Have you ever eaten sardines? Like them or hate them?
