Recipes so wholesome, nobody will guess a tin was involved.
I ALWAYS HAVE a shelf full of tinned food to fall back on if I need a quick meal. From tins of tuna to fruits and pulses, tins are an essential part of my monthly shop. They are so handy to have on hand when you need a “raid the cupboard” meal in a hurry.
Most tinned foods are packaged very soon after they’re harvested, meaning optimum levels of nutritional benefits are retained. Tinned salmon for example is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for heart health, as well as being an excellent source of protein. Chickpeas provide a low fat sourc...
The below recipes can be whipped up in a flash using store cupboard ingredients, and they’re so wholesome that nobody will ever guess that the star of the show comes from a tin!
The humble can of chickpeas is the main ingredients in this deliciously warming broth. Paired with just a few other household staples, this soup is very easy on the pocket and full of nutrients. Want to change things up? For an extra protein kick, feel free to adapt the recipe and add in some leftover meat if you have ...
Served with some salad, these fishcakes make a delicious lunch. Or for an equally impressive brunch, top the fishcakes with a poached egg.

Yes, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton aren't hugely popular. But third parties have their own hurdle: They're prone to ideological purity, while pragmatism is generally needed to grow followers and win elections.
Willy Marshall, delegate from Utah, announces the state's votes for Libertarian Party president during the party's National Convention held at the Rosen Centre in Orlando, Fla., on May 29.
On Sunday, the tiny Libertarian Party nominated a presidential ticket that is its most mainstream yet – two popular former Republican governors who hope to attract voters turned off by Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
In choosing Gary Johnson for president and William Weld for vice president, the Libertarians have selected candidates with governing experience, media and fundraising savvy, and at least some regional name recognition.
As former Governor Johnson of New Mexico argued in a speech Saturday, the party that won only 1 percent of the vote in 2012 now has the opportunity “to achieve major party status.” In a few polls, Johnson has been collecting about 10 percent in a three-way match-up with Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton.
But the Libertarian nominations were not without controversy and showed the tug-of-war between ideological purity, which is a defining characteristic of third parties in America, and the pragmatism needed to grow followers and win elections.
When Johnson voiced support for mainstream issues like driver licenses and the 1964 Civil Rights Act, he was booed on Saturday by party faithful who bristle at government interference. He needed a second ballot to secure the nomination. Former Governor Weld of Massachusetts, a recent convert to the party, had to promis...
“One thing great about third parties is their ideological purity,” says Brian Smith, an expert on third-party voting at St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas. But that very purity also has drawbacks, he says.
For instance, Johnson is fond of describing Libertarians as “fiscally conservative” and “socially liberal,” as favoring small government and freedom in personal decisions. In the abstract, that describes a lot of Americans and represents a potential gold mine of voters.
But drill down into the party’s positions, and what Johnson may view as a best-of-both-worlds sales pitch seems to others as “the worst of both,” Professor Smith says.
Democrats or independents who can’t bring themselves to vote for Mrs. Clinton, for example, might appreciate the Libertarian laissez-faire approach to abortion rights and gay marriage and the party’s anti-war stance. But these voters also believe in a role for government. They might be horrified by the extent of downsi...
On the chopping block would be the Department of Education (what, no more Pell Grants?) and the Food and Drug Administration (huh, no ingredient labels?). If liberals didn’t cry out against Johnson’s proposed elimination of the Commerce Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration, some might about losing the Int...
As for #NeverTrump conservatives, they might like to radically downsize government and replace individual and corporate taxes with a national sales tax, as Johnson proposes. But a 43 percent cut in military spending, as Johnson suggested in 2012? That would stick in more than a few hawkish conservative craws. Neither w...
“Libertarian ideas appeal to economic conservatives, but not to social conservatives, and the people who are most upset [with Trump] are the social conservatives,” says Amy Black, a political scientist at Wheaton College in Illinois.
If Libertarians hold inflexibly to their ideology, that could prevent the very growth that Johnson and Weld seek. But third parties generally suffer from an even greater danger when it comes to ideology, observers point out, and that’s the ability of the two main parties to incorporate their most popular ideas.
President Obama, for instance, has been moving the country in the direction of alternative fuels, which is so important to the Green Party. After 1992, when Texas businessman Ross Perot gained 19 percent of the popular vote with his hue and cry over the federal deficit, Republicans and Democrats balanced the budget.
Look, too, at the Libertarian rejection of the “war on drugs.” Johnson is a former executive of a cannabis products company and supports marijuana legalization. That is no longer a fringe political position.
Third parties face many challenges to growth and electoral success, from money to name recognition and access to state ballots and presidential debates. But perhaps the biggest is the flexibility of the two parties to adapt, Smith says.

Cybercriminals don't care that much about your credit card number anymore.
Uber, PayPal and even Netflix accounts have become much more valuable to criminals, as evidenced by the price these stolen identifiers now fetch on the so-called "deep Web," according to security company Trend Micro.
So how could a criminal use a stolen Uber account? Those credentials can either be used to build a fuller picture of a victim for identity theft, or they can be used to charge phantom rides, experts said. A phantom ride is when a criminal sets up a fake driver account, and charges nonexistent rides to stolen accounts.
They also found the following accounts for sale at these average prices per account; PayPal — with a guaranteed $500 balance — ($6.43), Facebook ($3.02), Google Voice (97 cents) and Netflix (76 cents). By contrast, U.S. issued credit card credentials, sold in bundles, were listed for no more than 22 cents each.
"It's an incredible underground ecosystem. There is a high level of competition for these criminal buyers and there are a lot of different types of forums. It's incredibly diverse, but incredibly mature," said Ed Cabrera, the company's vice president of cybersecurity strategy.
"They are doing their own market research on where they can find the data that's most valuable in the criminal underground and they develop their attacks accordingly," he said. The company issued a report on the phenomenon last October.
A quick search for tweets with the hashtag #uberaccounthacked reveals a number of complaints related to "ghost rides," in which users claim their Uber accounts have been charged for rides they did not take. These are often in far flung locations across the globe.
"This also highlights the need of these providers to be more cognizant of sudden changes in the accounts' behavior," said Forrester research analyst Andras Cser. "If a user suddenly takes a cross country ride versus following their usual movements, that should spark an alert."
"On the other hand, that's incredibly hard — maybe I am traveling, or my wife is using my account," he said.
The reason why credit cards are worth less to crooks at this point is because banks and credit card issuers have developed more sophisticated fraud detection systems, rending stolen cards worthless very quickly, said Cser.
Tech companies are aware of the threat, and many (including Uber) employ teams to monitor accounts for strange activity, alerting users when accounts may have been compromised. They also encourage users to adopt additional security measures and use different passwords for different accounts.
In some markets, Uber is testing its version of two-step authentication, so when a user logs on from an unknown device, they are prompted to enter additional credentials. The company plans to roll this out in other markets soon.
"Our security teams are laser focused on protecting the integrity of our community's Uber accounts," an Uber spokesperson said. "We use technical measures to detect any issues and are always enhancing the measures we deploy to protect our users' accounts."
Facebook advises users to turn on its version of two-factor authentication called login approvals and to run a security checkup, a tool that walks users through security options to add extra account protection.
"We use a variety of methods to detect and prevent compromised accounts, including those that sometimes appear on these types of forums, and we've developed tools to help people secure their accounts in just a few steps," a Facebook spokesperson told CNBC.
Netflix encourages concerned users to contact customer service and has posted user guidelines for keeping accounts secure.
"Netflix employs numerous tactics to prevent and detect fraudulent activity," a Netflix representattive told CNBC. "We also encourage people to avoid third parties making claims about lifetime accounts. While this is a limited issue that occasionally generates press, members who want to check the security of their acco...
Neither PayPal nor Google responded to a request for comment.
The fact that people often use the same password across multiple accounts makes security particularly challenging. Experts say companies should employ to new technology to offer users better protection from hackers.
"The time has come to move away from passwords. They should be looking at behavioral biometrics solutions to authenticate users — how the user actually behaves, how they hold a phone, how big their fingers are and how hard they press the touch screen," said Cser.

Updated Oct. 11 at 10:45 a.m.: Revised to include the victim's cause of death.
The unfinished townhome that collapsed around construction workers Monday had not yet been reinforced with bracings that might have offered protection from vicious winds passing through the area.
Raul Ortega Cabrera, 35, died and five more workers were injured when the three-story structure caved in as they sought refuge from a thunderstorm about 4 p.m.
The Dallas County medical examiner ruled Cabrera's death an accident, an official said Thursday. Cabrera, a father of two whose wife is eight months pregnant, suffered from blunt force injuries and mechanical compression during the collapse, according to the medical examiner's office. Details about the other workers’ i...
The National Weather Service reported winds of 30 mph with gusts as high as 62 mph about the time of the collapse.
Megatel Homes, the developer of the SoHo Square townhomes near Trinity Groves, blamed the weather for the accident.
“The high winds and heavy rain that Dallas is currently experiencing caused the unfinished structure to become vulnerable,” the company said in a written statement.
The project is only a small part of the work of a company that expects to sell as many as 1,400 homes by the end of the year.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the collapse but said no details about the case will be released until the inquiry is complete. Megatel said it is also conducting an internal review.
A search dog stood atop wreckage after emergency workers attempted to rescue people trapped under a three-story structure that collapsed at the 2600 block of Borger Street in Dallas on Monday.
Construction codes require that crews install wind bracings — plywood sheathing that protects structures from wind gusts. A Megatel spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday that the sheathing had not yet been installed.
Phil Crone, executive officer of the Dallas Builders Association, said wind bracings can help buildings withstand winds of more than 100 mph.
He hasn’t been to the site, but he said it appeared construction simply hadn’t progressed to the point that the sheathing, which is nailed to the structure in sheets, had been put in place.
Before that work is complete, a structure is much more vulnerable to side-to-side motion, and a strong wind can knock it down, he said.
The company said the roofing and decking of the building also had not been completed.
Fidel Barrera, a supervisor for Cabrera’s employer, Texas Core Concrete, said there was nothing unusual about the building before the collapse.
Barrera supervised 12 workers at the site, including Cabrera and another worker who was injured.
He wasn’t at the site when the collapse occurred, but he said it’s common for workers to seek refuge in unfinished buildings during bad weather.
Barrera, who has worked in construction for seven years, said Megatel hadn’t done anything improper. He saw a similar structure collapse in heavy winds before, he said.
In June, Megatel CEO Zach Ipour said the company had filed the permits to start work on 25 homes in the SoHo Square subdivision near Sylvan Avenue and Singleton Boulevard.
