Instructions to make Italian-style Tomato Hot Pot:

1. Prep the ingredients. Cut up the vegetables, and parboil the carrot and potatoes.
2. Prep the soup. Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the finely chopped garlic in the earthenware pot and turn up the heat.
3. When the garlic is fragrant, add the canned tomatoes, oregano, 2 cups (400 ml) of water and soup stock granules.
4. Add ketchup to season. Taste, and adjust with salt and pepper. The broth should be on the salty side since the vegetables will dilute the soup as they cook.
5. Once the soup is ready, enjoy the hot pot at the dinner table. The root vegetables are parboiled, so all you have to do is to make sure the meat is cooked through.
6. Add some Tabasco and grated cheese to taste. If the hot pot is for adults, you could add Tabasco to the soup itself.
7. When all the meat and vegetables are eaten, make a 'risotto' with the leftover soup. Rinse the cooked rice briefly to remove the stickiness.
8. Put the rice in the soup and simmer until the flavors have permeated. Add the pizza cheese. Turn off the heat and put a lid on. When the cheese has melted, it's done.
9. Add some parsley and black pepper to taste, and eat the 'risotto' while piping hot. It's flavorful and delicious!
10. If you use pasta instead of rice, I recommend boiled penne.

Cut the ends of shimeji mushrooms. The 'risotto' you make with the leftover soup at the end is delicious. We use a pretty small earthenware pot. If there's not enough soup, add more water, soup stock granules and ketchup. Cold weather calls for comfort food, like this hearty and cozy Italian Pot Roast.

Use Food to Elevate Your Mood

Many of us have been taught to believe that comfort foods are not good and must be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be totally nourishing and it’s good for you to consume them. There are some foods that really can raise your moods when you consume them. If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

Eggs, would you believe, are terrific for helping you battle depression. You need to make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is because the B vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Try to eat an egg and feel a lot better!

Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all terrific for helping to raise your mood. This is because these nuts are loaded with magnesium, which helps to increase serotonin production. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The more of it in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, particularly, are a great protein food source.

Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all rich in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly raise your mood.

Some grains are actually great for repelling bad moods. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are terrific at helping you have a happier mood. These foods can help you feel full for longer as well, which can help your mood too. Feeling hungry can be terrible! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your blood sugar which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is truly good for your mood. You knew green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this specific amino acid can actually induce brain waves. This will improve your brain’s focus while simultaneously calming the rest of your body. You knew that green tea helps you feel a lot healthier. Now you know that green tea can elevate your mood as well!

See, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you wish to feel better! Try a couple of of these tips instead.
