One of the things that’s been wonderful to have on hand are these very tasty homemade granola bars that my sister-in-law made and brought down after we had our baby. She said they were her favorite snack to have on hand while nursing since you need something quick with a good calorie punch that can provide you that extra energy you need. Those of you who are or breastfeeding or have had in the past probably know that before you realize it, you are famished. Since I was introduced to these, I’ve made them every week and they are a staple in our home! My husband, who is a letter carrier, is also in love with these because they give him the calorie punch he needs while he’s out walking seven miles per day delivering mail!
Don’t be intimidated by the amount of ingredients! I was at first, until I realized making the granola bars is so easy and it’s not as time consuming as you may think. What helps is that I pre-measure all the ingredients which makes it go even faster. You can even get as creative as you want and once you start making these, I guarantee you will want to experiment with other ingredients! The recipe is from Dinner: A Love Story and I’ve slightly adapted it. I love the taste of these so much but I think I might try to incorporate dried fruit in one of these batches….
I’m recommending organic peanut butter. (Or any organic nut butter of your choice!) This is because the first batch I made, I used Skippy peanut butter. No offense to Skippy, but the granola bars were TOO peanut buttery and honestly…they just tasted fake. So the next round I used organic peanut butter and that made all the difference…it wasn’t so overwhelmingly peanut buttery.
- 1 stick of unsalted butter
- 3/4 Cup organic peanut butter
- 1/2 Cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons local honey
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 2 1/2 Cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/2 Cups raw sliced almonds
- 1/2 Cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 3/4 Cup semisweet chocolate chip morsels
- 1/2 Cup oat bran
- 1/2 Teaspoon cinamon
- 1/2 Teaspoon coarse sea salt
- Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. Line a 9 X 13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Leave some extra on the edges so that you can pull the granola bar sheet out when finished.
- In a large saucepan on medium heat, combine the butter, nut butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, honey and water. Cook and stir frequently until a uniform syrup is formed. Remove from heat.
- Add the oats, almonds, coconut, chocolate chips, oat bran and cinnamon. Stir well.
- Transfer the (very) thick mixture into the prepared pan and press evenly using your fingers or a spatula. Top with the coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the edges are slightly brown. Make sure to cool COMPLETELY before slicing and enjoying so that the granola bars don’t fall apart!
Hope you love these as much as I do!


Instant Clear Gel
Instant ClearJel is a specialty food starch that can be used to thicken fruit pies, jams, sauces, puddings and gravies. If used properly, it will thicken clearly with no added flavor. It should be mixed with the dry ingredients of a recipe, then added to the liquid while cold. If you add it directly to liquids (especially warm liquids) it may lump. To prevent this, use an immersion blender or food processor if you add it directly to liquids. It will begin to thicken instantly, and when warmed, it will thicken even more. To use Instant ClearJel in your recipes, just substitute equal amounts for the starch or flour it may call for. It is shelf stable, and if stored in a cool, dry place, it will last for a year in your cupboard.


The Durian Tree
The term Durian Tree is a name which commonly refers to an evergreen plant (a tree that maintains its vegetation throughout the whole year) that is indigenous to Southeast Asia’s hot and humid forests, wherein it is grown for its stinky but delicious fruit. This local name is taken from the Malayan term for the fruit of the tree which is duryon.
The durian tree grows to a height of 80 to 100 feet or 24 to 30 meters, nonetheless there are some cases wherein durian trees have reached a height of 150 feet or 45 meters. The leaves are usually 7 inches or 17.5 centimeters in length and has copper of silver colored scales located on the lower surface of the leaves. The trees flower are about 2 inches or 5 centimeters long and have pink, white or yellow petals that have a tendency to grow in clusters.
The durian fruit is often considered as the world’s most hazardous fruit. It has a round shape and typically weighs around 6 to 8 pounds or 2.8 to 3.5 kilograms. It has a thick, hard and spiny yellowish or greenish rind. The fruit contains around one to four large or more seeds that can be eaten fried, broiled or roasted. The rest of the fruit is made up of custard like pulp or meat that has a rotten smell but relatively pleasant taste. The pulp is typically eaten fresh but can also be added to ice cream, cakes, candies and other food products. The fruit requires around 3 months to fully develop.


THE BAKING INDUSTRY
Yeast's are found in the air around us. They are found on the skin of fruits - they particularly like grapes. They like the sugar in the grapes and do not need oxygen to live. They like temperatures between 20 and 40 degrees C.
YEAST is one of the raising agents that can be used to make products rise and give them a light taste. If you want yeast to work it has to grow or 'bud'. This means that the yeast cells divides into two and keeps on growing. It cannot do this without help and this help comes in the form of
IT HAS TO BE WARM LIQUID
If you want to kill the yeast - so that it does not start to grow, all you need to do is to have the water or milk, very very hot. The yeast will not do anything at all - just make the liquid look sandy in colour. Your know when the yeast is working - it is very frothy on the top of the liquid - rather like the foam on a glass of beer.
FOAM ON THE TOP = ACTIVATED YEAST!!
Yeast is sold in two forms fresh or dried
The dried yeast look like micro-brown seeds, all the same size and colour. The fresh yeast look like a chunk of light brown fudge and breaks very easily into pieces.
Both yeast's will melt in the warm liquid and then start to bud.
Chemical raising agents
Chemical raising agents - these are powders which need some form of liquid and heat to produce carbon dioxide which then means the product rises.
You have to be very careful AND MEASURE CAREFULLY. This is one time when the 'bung it all in method' does not work!!
BICARBONATE OF SODA
This has a nasty taste if you tried some on your tongue. It needs to be in a recipe which has strong flavours to disguise the taste - like gingerbread, chocolate cake or other spiced cakes.
CREAM OF TARTAR
This is added to the bicarb. Tartar is an acid and this helps takes away the bitter taste.
Instead of using cream of tartar you can add an acid to the bicarbonate of soda - such things as sour milk or vinegar. This is used in scone making.
This is already made up in the factory where it is made. It is a mixture of bicarb and an acid. The makers add cornflower or rice flour to the baking powder to keep it inactive before use.
The chemical raising agents stay 'asleep' so long as they are kept away from liquid either alkaline or acid. The drums they are sold in usually have tight fitting lids to stop moisture getting in.
NON CHEMICAL RAISING AGENTS -
These are AIR and STEAM
You can combine air into a mixture by any of the following -Sieving the flour Creaming the fat and sugar
STEAM MAKING THE PRODUCT RISE
This happens when the product which contains water is heated to a high temperature and steam is formed. This wants to get out of the product and so forces its way out through the mixture and stretches the cake or bread (whatever) leaving the product light and fluffy and risen

This is the first time I’ve written this down for anyone, but you, my dear friend, have proven yourself to be deserving of only the very best, most indulgent chocolate mousse that you will ever taste in your entire life – my Nana’s. The secret ingredient… a little extra salt to enhance the sweetness of the dark chocolate.
If anyone asks where you got the recipe from, tell them it’s one of Nigella’s…she’s good too, just not as good as grandma.
Happy cooking, you secret squirrel!
- 1 200g bar of dark chocolate. The best you can find, at least 70% cocoa!
- 6 Eggs
- 3 bowls – one for melting chocolate, one for egg whites and one for egg yolks
- Melt chocolate in a bain-marie on the hob at the lowest heat, then let it cool. Microwave if you must but go slowllllyyyyy here.
- Separate the egg whites into a medium bowl and retain yolks in a large bowl. If you accidentally lose some eggshell the easiest way to scoop it out is to use another larger piece of eggshell.
- Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and beat until they are stiff. This bit is important. If you think you’re done, you’re probably not. The trick is to slowly turn your bowl as if you’re turning it upside down. If the egg whites don’t move you’re good. If they start to slide, stop and keep beating, we’re making mousse, not a mess
- Gradually add the cooled melted chocolate into the egg yolks and stir well
- Add two pinches of salt. Shhhhh, this is the secret bit!!
- Use a spatula to gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three batches. Slowly slowly catchy monkey. The trick to making this mousse amazing is to really take your time on this step, try not to break the egg whites to keep your mousse light and airy.
- Serve in one big bowl or decant into small dessert bowls, pretty teacups or even wine glasses. No judgment if you lick the bowl at this stage, I mean after all that mixing you’ve kind of earnt the right
- Put in the fridge for at least 3 hours
- Serve chilled as it is or with a simple garnish of mint leaves, grated chocolate or even a couple of raspberries
And voila, the mousse is in the housse. ENJOY!


This place is not that far from me and I’ve never actually been for anything other than the occasional tea with co-workers. So I went for lunch last week to meet up with my friend before she and her partner move out of Australia. It gave me major sadface, but I was excited to actually try the food at the Treehouse, and I’d definitely recommend it for a nice lunchtime meal. Balance between food and friends? My priorities aren’t skewed, I swear. Good food and good friends are totally equal. Especially if there’s chocolate involved somehow. Or Mexican food.
We arrived at peak lunchtime, 12:30, so rather than sitting outside on the balcony we sat at the bar – which was still a great environment with a decent menu.
I got the steak sandwich. Which was massive. And quite yum, with a tomato chutney.
But before we ate, I was quite the good samaritan. The barback that rang up the order – which I paid, of course, because my friend was leaving and I wasn’t going to make her pay for food – forgot a zero, so he rang up a total less than $10 for 2 drinks and 2 mains…which was quite obviously incorrect. He didn’t notice, and I actually pointed it out to him. I turned down a really, really, really cheap meal.
The food was quite good, though. Both my friend and I rated our mains 8 out of 10.
I’ve got posts waiting on Terrigal, Vivid and more. I need to sit down, write and queue it all up.

Are they worth it? I absolutely hate shakes. I just need to gain muscle not worrying about fat much right now.
No. Invest in a good powder
I use a protein bar when I'm out traveling somewhere. Hiking, snowmobiling, what have you. Convenient to just have one in a jacket/backpack pocket. Not so convenient to bring a tub of powder and a blender.
If you're talking about just home/gym situations... then stick with powder and a blender (or spoon).
Like more of a replacement for a snack. Any good suggestions for a powder? I tried Whey vanilla it was bad.
You just have to try different ones. Myoplex Chocolate is pretty good, but you have to try them and see what you like better.
And for bars I usually get tigers milk bars
Vanilla flavored whey is pretty gross.
I like the chocolate flavored whey. You could also make a smoothie with it, maybe some milk and a cut up banana?
Anyway, I've got no experience with the bars or any protein shake made to put on mass.
Alright thanks guys!
I make my own. they are the ultimate. energy, protein, nutrients all in one. raw organic ingredients only. and SO DELICIOUS (also very filling)
thats about half a small batch, about 45 mins to make with the prep work.
-pistachios (shelled and chopped up)
-dried fruit/berries (blueberries and cranberries especially good)
-other good nuts like almonds and pecans
-protein powder if you want extra protein
-honey or maple syrup
-organic peanut or almond butter, blended with mashed up dates (good base)
-chocolate (if you like chocolate)
next time I'm gonna try using matcha in the base :D
Those look really good. They sound delicious.
Is there any special method of preparation or mixture? Or simply food processor everything, mix it all, and form to shape?
Also, by chance, quantities? For that size a batch, what ballpark amount of ounces/tbspn/cups/etc. necessary?

If I don’t have protein bites in the freezer, I feel lost. They are the perfect grab and go snack or ‘treat’ for after dinner. I am always playing around with protein bite recipes, so here is my latest creation:
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1 Tbsp coconut flour
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 water
Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix! Form them into little balls and place in the freezer on a tray that has already be lined with parchment paper. When ready to eat, take them out of the freezer and wait 5 minutes until they get a little gewy! Yumm! Enjoy!
Having healthy snacks in the house at ALL times is important. Creating a home environment where there are no ‘temptations’ sets you up for healthy eating patterns. Sure, we can have treats every now and then, but having bags full of chips and chocolates is just plain mean (to our minds!). Here are three tricks that can help to set yourself for eating while at the home:
1. PRE CUT/WASHED FRUITS AND VEGGIES: The kids may be more likely to reach for cucumbers that have already been washed or carrots that are pre-cut. Make these foods easily accessible for you and your family!
2. LEAVE FRUIT AND NUTS ON THE COUNTER: When you first go into the kitchen, why not be tempted by healthy snacks such as an apple or some almonds? Leave these in a dish/bowl on the counter.
3. LEAVE TEMPTATION BEHIND: If you know foods are going to lead to feelings of regret after eating them, don’t bring them into your home.

Yo! Here I am making you hungry again :) Sorry mates ♥ . But as I told you in my last post (that you can see here) I went to eat with my friends in the evening. We were in a restaurant called Huviretki. I've been there couple times before and this time surprised me pretty negatively.
We had reserved a table there for five people. Well we got into the restaurant and since they usually take you to the table that you've reserved, we got really surprised when the woman just showed with her finger and said "It's there up in the corner". Well that wasn't so big problem for me but it was weird. Second thing was waiting for the service. It took at least 30 mintues that we got service. It was so stupid to sit there and wait and wait and wait. Oh and we didn't even have enough chairs but I stole one from the side. It was a random chair since it wasn't even the same as the others in the restaurant.
And that wasn't all. In that restaurant they always bring you bread while you are waiting for your food. And they forgot even that :D In the end they brought us bread after bringing our food... :D
Another funny thing happened while ordering desserts. My friend Kiia couldn't decide what she should take. She was thinking between choclate cake and something else (can't remember what it was.) So of course a waitress should try to sell the menu but in stead she said "You should take the chocolate cake. That other thing tastes really bad!" Well that it good for the customer of course but for the restaurant it isn't so good.. :D
And in the end we didn't even get byes :( Though the food tasted delicious and so did the dessert :) In my food there was chicken with delicious redwine-sauce, potatos and vegetables :) It was YUMMY! And my dessert was a caramel icecream with chocolate sauce :) That chocolate sauce was delicious but way too sweet! So I didn't eat it much at all :D
Huh but it's late already. I'll go eat and then study some math. I'm having a math exam in Monday and I'm really hoping it will pass well! And next week I'll get my sceleton necklace that I ordered last week :) You can see it here! Happy weekend everyone!


A perennial vegetable is an edible plant which, once established in your garden or food forest, will provide food for several (perhaps many) years to come. If you have seen my card game, you already know something about this subject. While perennial fruits are seemingly everywhere, perennial vegetables are harder to come by. Some of the best are hidden in plain sight, while others are virtually unknown.
When I first discovered perennial gardening, designing a collection of high-quality, perennial green vegetables for my temperate climate food forest (USDA Hardiness Zone 6b) was complex and confusing. Reference books were indiscriminate, with pages of marginally edible plants obscuring the few choice options. Many plants that seem obvious in hindsight were omitted completely. When I wanted to try a new plant, there were few sources available. Seeds were hard to find, and there were no instructions on germinating seeds, selecting locations, harvest and proper preparation.
So where do I find the best perennial vegetables? These days, more people grow perennial food crops, and a cottage industry of nurseries, seed distributors, and bloggers serves a growing number of perennial vegetable enthusiasts. You can often find seed and plant swaps at which you can pick up an unusual vegetable or two. Or, if you're in a rush, there's always Etsy and ebay. If you are shopping for information, a quick web search should locate articles on every one of the vegetables mentioned below.
So why should you grow perennial vegetables? The great thing about perennial vegetables is that, once they are started properly, many varieties will provide ample food in a limited space. This is also the challenge, since some of these plants can become too successful. If you don’t harvest them regularly, perennial vegetables may crowd out other plants.
The benefits of perennial vegetable gardening may already seem obvious to you. However, some people have a difficult time even contemplating a no-till garden of vegetables that rises, unassisted, from the soil every spring. I won’t pretend that I have given up cucumbers, tomatoes, and squash. I have not. I also grow biennials, like lettuce, parsley, and Swiss chard. But my perennial vegetables give me food earlier, and more reliably, than any of the annual crops that I grow. And some of the plants that I used to struggle with, like broccoli and onions, have been replaced by perennial varieties that offer the same great flavor and texture with almost none of the effort.
Over the past decade, I have pieced together a garden that relies heavily on perennial vegetables. Many are herbaceous. Some are familiar. Some are traditionally grown as annuals, and some have been classified as ornamental, even though they are food crops in other cultures. There are some that I intend to grow but haven’t had the opportunity to try. At this point in my gardening life, I am limited more by space and time than by options.
All of this is all to say that growing perennial vegetables is not just possible in a climate with four seasons, it is completely achievable and has been done by real human beings – even in climates as unforgiving as Northern New England!
If, in nature, over 90% of plants are perennials[i], why don’t we grow more perennial vegetables? The answer is unclear, because most of our diverse selection of foods predates modern times. Maybe it was easier to domesticate annuals because their offspring could be selected on a yearly cycle[ii]. Perhaps this was also a defense strategy in more violent times, when land could be stolen but seeds were easy to pack and carry? Or maybe annual foods, many of which ripened in the fall, were easier to store over the winter? Whatever the reason, only 20% of our food crops are perennials, and 80% are planted repeatedly, year after year.
You may be wondering how good can perennial vegetables taste, and how hard are they to grow. We will take these two questions, each in turn.
First, how good do they taste? This question must be considered on a case by case basis. Some of these vegetables are best when blanched (grown under a pot). Some produce delicate broccoli-like clusters, and some grow florets with a spicy kick. Others look like spinach but have interesting flavors and textures. Some have a bitter flavor that I grew to love once my taste buds become accustomed to it. Some are familiar, like rhubarb and asparagus, and some are common but rarely eaten, like the humble, yet delicious hosta sprout and flower buds.
As for difficulty, the first year is often the hardest. Once you get through year 1, most perennial edibles are simple to grow and propagate, especially if they are properly suited to your hardiness zone. After year 2, you may have a hard time getting rid of them. Many of perennial food plants have vigorous roots. To remove the plant, you often need to remove the entire root – which is sometimes quite challenging.
Now that you have a little background, it’s time for some examples. What kinds of perennial vegetables can you grow, and where do you find the seeds or seedlings? Below is a list of perennial vegetables that can grow in various hardiness zones. I have tailored this list to temperate growing regions. In warmer climates even tomatoes and peppers can be perennials, whereas temperate gardeners need to search a little harder to fill their perennial beds. Understanding that seed companies come and go, I advise you to simply google the plants, with the exception of one perennial kale, mentioned below the grid.
In this table, I provide examples of 21 perennial vegetables and 8 perennial herbs, along with USDA Hardiness zone recommendations for each. These Hardiness Zone recommendations are not universally agreed upon, and may be stretched (or limited) depending upon variety, breeding location, and micro-climates at your site. I tried to choose reputable sources of information but, if you want to see my source, I have provided a link to each article where USDA Hardiness Zone information was found.
A discussion of proper preparation and recipes is beyond the scope of this current article. I hope to cover more of that later. For the moment, please note that some portions of these plants are more edible than others, and many taste better at certain times of the year. For instance, only certain parts of the King Solomon's seal plant are safe to eat. Fortunately, information on how to prepare these vegetables is readily available on the internet. With proper research and attention to detail, each plant below can be served as a delicious side-vegetable or a handy addition to a larger recipe.
Most of the plants listed above are widely available with a quick search. Daubenton Kale, however, is only currently available in the US in a selection that was open-pollinated in the presence of purple tree collards, and sold by the Experimental Farm Network

Missing teeth can harm your dental health in more than one way. It can also affect your facial appearance and the structure of the mouth. All of this can all take a toll on your confidence and make you self-conscious. Thus, it is important to get your missing teeth replaced. Dental implants have emerged as a natural-looking and durable option for restoring the missing tooth/ teeth.
The dental implants are placed surgically, unlike dentures and dental bridges. Thus, the recovery time is more, and several precautions need to be taken. One of the main things to take care of after the dental implant surgery is the food that you eat. It is advised to have only softer food for some period, avoiding anything hard on your tooth/ teeth. Let’s have a look at the diet that you must follow post-implant surgery.
While excessive cheese may be bad for your waistline but it is certainly good for your teeth after the implant surgery, says the dental implant dentist near you. Just like other dairy products, it is very soft. You can either choose soft cheese and have them directly or melt the hard cheese and have it along with your meals. Either way, your teeth will be spared from chewing hard substances, explains the dentist near you.
According to the best dentist near me, fruits and veggies can be your friends when recovering from implant surgery. They are naturally soft, and the ones that are not soft can be easily processed or blended to make them easily chewable. Some of the right choices of fruits can be peaches, berries, and pears. Banana smoothies can also make for a good meal replacement. If you love apples, blend them and have them like juice. Vegetables can be hard, but you can soften them by boiling them. Vegetable soups can be a good choice for a healthy and nutritious meal.
You can have softer sweet items such as cakes, cupcakes, donuts, and muffins. Pies can also make for a good option for a softer diet. Just make sure that you don’t overindulge and brush your teeth as sweet items attract bacteria.
Who doesn’t love eggs? You can continue to have them even after the implant surgery. Eggs can be boiled, or you can make your favorite omelet. Even scrambled eggs are a good idea. Apart from being soft, eggs also make for a good source of protein as you won’t be able to have meat for some time. You can mix vegetables and cheese in your egg recipe and make them healthier and tastier.
You can have cooked cereals after the implant surgery. Creams of wheat, oatmeal, and oat bran can be good options. They become completely soft after cooking. You can always add some berries, vanilla, and cinnamon to the cereal to make it flavorful. You can also have rice, pasta, and noodles as well in your recovery diet but make sure that they are cooked properly.
As a general rule, you must avoid eating hard food items after the surgery. It can make things painful for the site of extraction. Avoid having items such as chips, nuts, nachos, apples, carrots, and cucumber after the surgery. You should also avoid acidic foods such as tomatoes, lemons, and orange. Eating popcorn is also not recommended after the surgery. Spicy foods can cause discomfort, so avoid having them as well.
Apart from having softer food, make sure you maintain a good oral hygiene routine. Brushing and flossing after every meal are very crucial. Make sure that you don’t disturb the site of surgery. Not keeping up with the dental hygiene routine will create further issues such as plaque, leading to cavity and infection, says dentist for a dental implant in San Jose, CA.
See the dentist as per the appointment schedule so that they can track the progress and healing. In case you feel any discomfort or pain, you must see the dentist immediately as it can be an emergency.


A good diet comprises many healthy foods. These foods provide you with carbohydrates,
proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals needed for good health.
Much of what you eat should be made up of carbohydrates found in bread, cereal, rice, pasta,
fruits, vegetables and milk. They should make up 50 percent to 60 percent of your calories. Your
brain and muscles need them to work well.
Protein should make up 10 percent to 15 percent of your daily calories. Protein is found in meat,
poultry, fish, eggs, milk and milk products, such as yogurt and cheese. Every cell in your body
has some protein, which helps form skin and bones. It also helps in the healing of sores and helps
your body fight infection.
Fat is very high in calories with twice as many calories as carbohydrates and protein. The
average American eats about 40 percent to 50 percent of their calories in the form of fat, but it’s
better to limit this to 30 percent or less. Fats help vitamins work and help in making hormones,
which control a lot of how the body works. You don’t need to add fat to your diet to be healthy
because you get a lot from animal products, oils and some processed foods. Many people should
eat fewer fats because this can lead to gaining unneeded weight.
Fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat proteins have a lot of vitamins and minerals and
help change carbohydrates, proteins and fats into nutrients we can use. These nutrients help
create bone, blood, enzymes and hormones and help fight infection and disease. The best way
to get what we need is to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, milk and lean meats. A
vitamin-mineral pill cannot replace many of the nutrients found in healthy foods.
Many news stories have been written about fiber in diets. Fiber, also called roughage or bulk,
is found in plants. Because your body cannot break down fiber, it passes through your digestive
tract (bowel), absorbing fluids and adding bulk to the foods your body has broken down. By
adding weight and volume, it moves digested foods through the bowel faster and with less work.
Most experts say we should eat 25 to 35 grams of fiber a day. Because fiber pulls fluid from your
body to the digestive tract, it’s important that you drink a lot of fluids. Foods high in fiber include
fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads and cereals, nuts and seeds. To reach the goal of 25 to 35
grams of fiber, you must eat at least five helpings of fruits and vegetables and a helping of whole
wheat bread, cereal or pasta each day.


In 2010 a father daughter duo started a cinnamon roasted nut company as something to do together in the summer. Since then, the “nutty” duo has grown the company together, going beyond the original intent of a summer job.
Today, “Go Totally Nuts” partners with many retailers throughout the Twin Cities
area, including coffee shops (Dunn Bros), grocery stores (Hy-Vee), colleges (University of Saint Thomas).
Spring to Fall, “Go Totally Nuts” can be found creating that magic aroma, and taste, of cinnamon roasted nuts at fairs and festivals around the Midwest.
During the holiday season you will find us at one of the major Twin Cities’ malls, Rosedale, creating an aroma that fills you with the warmth of the Christmas season.


We have all been there, it’s 2:30 in the afternoon and that amazing burger you had for lunch with a side of fries is pulling your eyelids down. You’re sluggish, typing slow and pinching your leg to not fully fall asleep. Hopefully you’re not in a budgeting meeting at this point, going over the same black and white spreadsheets you always go over in a hot, dark room. You might as well be sipping on a Sleepytime tea in your bed and put on a M. Night Shyamalan movie. The afternoon slowdown hits us all, but it doesn’t have to. There are small changes in your life you can make to ensure you not only avoid the afternoon nap, but power through it with high energy.
One of these changes is staying active throughout the day. Saying active, keeping blood flow up and the mind active will help keep you wide awake and productive throughout the day. The PediGlide, which launches its Kickstarter on January 4th, 2016, will be the only product on the market that will be able to provide you with a way to stay active in almost any sitting situation. Another change you can make is to increase the quality and decrease the quantity of your lunch. We’ll discuss the difference between a nap-inducing lunch, a productive lunch, and how to jumpstart a healthy habit. Let’s start by breaking down where your sleepiness is derived from in your lunch and how to beat the heavy eyelids.
The first step in knowing how to fix the problem of afternoon sleepiness caused by your lunch is to know what effects lunch can have on you. With 2/3 of all Americans eating their lunch at their desk, many us are bringing in leftovers, microwaving pre-made meals or ordering delivery to our office. It could be leftover pizza from last night, a chicken fried rice meal that you put in the microwave for 6 minutes or a Jimmy Johns sandwich, also taking 6 minutes to be at your desk. The other third of us who have more than a couple of minutes to eat an entire meal tend to go out for lunch and are getting burgers, Thia food or a massive burrito. All of these foods options lead to the same afternoon head-nods. Why? The answer has two parts.
The first reason why you become tired after a meal is from the amount of insulin and highly refined carbohydrates that are in your meal. To translate into your ordinary diet, that is to say food that has high sugar (pops), food with white bread (Jimmy Johns) and food with high fat (anything fried). That may not have been a major insight for you, but let’s dive into the chemistry to fully understand the root of the problem. Those foods cause both an immediate spike of sugar in your blood stream, causing an increase in insulin production. [Quick recap, insulin is a hormone made naturally in the pancreas that helps move sugar into the cells of your body. Your cells use the sugar as fuel to make energy. Without enough insulin, sugar stays in your bloodstream, raising your blood sugar.] As the quantity of food increases, so too does the amount of insulin released as a normal part of your body's digestion. Insulin also stimulates the muscles to take in large neutral branched-chain amino acids but leave out some amino acids like tryptophan (yes the amino acid you always hear about around Thanksgiving). Tryptophan is an aromatic amino acid and one of 22 essential amino acids that are the building blocks to human life. This results in a far greater ratio of the amount of tryptophan to the number of branch-chained amino acids in the blood, and eventually, in the cerebral spinal fluid, your bodily fluid that bathes and cushions the spinal cord and brain. One of the byproducts of tryptophan in the brain is serotonin, which you may have heard of as one of the chemical reasons that cause happiness and joy. However, serotonin can be broken down into melatonin, a hormone that is highly correlated with helping you fall asleep. To recap, a sub-sandwich and pop meal increases your blood sugar which increases the insulin in your body. The insulin then utilizes some amino acids, but not tryptophan, which your brain uses to create serotonin that breaks down to melatonin causing you to slouch from sleepiness.
The second reason is the reaction your body has from large meals and food that is difficult to digest (think red meat). Your body is an incredibly efficient mechanism, but it has its limits. One of those limits is the amount of energy your body can produce. Much like you do at work, your body creates a to-do list of things that are important to get done. A large meal or a meal that includes food that is hard to digest is the equivalent of your boss coming to you and saying “drop whatever you’re doing, we have an emergency!” Your body recognizes there is a huge pile of food to breakdown, pull nutrients from and utilize throughout your body. So your body makes a decision, it pulls energy from other parts of your body that are not an immediate requirement to focus on getting through this massive increase of the intestines to-do list. This decision drags energy from your brain and overall energy levels, causing you to become tired. This is one of those characteristics that was awesome for our ancestors who only ate what they hunted down, but doesn’t translate well into the office world.
With the lunch option of a large plate of leftover spaghetti being equivalent to a sleeping pill, what should you have? The answer addresses the two causes of sleepiness and are non-starchy vegetables and portion control. A leafy green salad is the best option for a main lunch meal. A couple of notes on the lunch salad are that leafy greens do NOT include iceberg lettuce; everybody has a different level of proportions so find your personal amount that fills you up but doesn’t put you to sleep; nuts are a great source of energy; nutrients and do not add to drossiness; and if you want to add protein go with chicken over red meat. Small portions of whole wheat bread and brown rice can also add nutrients and fullness to your meal.
To summarize what we just covered, that foot-long ham sub-sandwich with a pop and a bag of chips is going to have you sawing logs. However, a mixed greens chicken salad with a light vinaigrette will keep you full, provide more nutrients and, if you keep your portions down, will help you boost your energy well into the night.
Now that we know what to eat in order to stay productive and energetic at work, how do you create a positive habit to ensure you keep up eating well at the office? All habits depend on your dedication, but here is some help to get you started. For a list of amazing lunch options, here is a list of yummy salads. In order to bring those yummy salads to work without them getting soggy and gross, here are a number of portable salad containers you can pack and carry with you.

Discover The Health Benefits of Soaking Almonds
Almonds are considered, by nutritionists, to be the healthiest, most nutritious nuts of all.
Almonds are a rich source of protein containing fiber, omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, vitamin E, magnesium, calcium, and zinc.
Almonds are also difficult to digest because of an enzyme inhibiting substance in their brown coating.
The enzyme inhibitor is there to keep the almond more intact until it is ready to sprout into a tree.
For humans, the inability of the nut to release its enzymes interferes with the digestive process makes digestion more difficult, and creating the loss of nutrient value of the almond.
Solution? Soaking eliminates the problem.
The key to maintaining the nutrient value is to only use almonds that are raw.
The eating and soaking process are practically useless if the almonds are pasteurized or roasted since both processes destroy the almonds healthy enzymes.
No Enzymes — No Digestion!
Unfortunately for us, a recent law requires all almonds grown in the U.S. to be pasteurized. And yet the USDA still allows these processed almonds to be called raw even though they no longer are.
Don’t be fooled. The so-called raw almonds found in health food stores are all pasteurized!
The law is weird. Almond farmers can sell raw unpasteurized almonds from roadside stands or mail order but not to food distributors or markets.
Another good source of true raw unpasteurized almonds is imported raw almonds. You can find them at www.livingnutz.com, (they are reasonably priced) or Google raw almonds on the Internet and several other sources will show up.
All almonds have the protective brown skin which contains the harmful tannic acid and enzyme inhibitors.
Soaking removes harmful tannic acid and enzyme inhibitors making the nuts easy to digest and releasing their full nutritional value. Soaking also makes the nut softer and easier to chew.
Always chew nuts thoroughly, whether soaked or not. Big chunks of un-chewed nuts can be hard on the digestive tract.
In addition, all nuts contain phytic acid in their outer layer or bran. Untreated phytic acid can form insoluble or nearly insoluble compounds with many metal ions, including those of calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc. These compounds reduce dietary availability.
Soaking decreases the levels of this phytic acid.
Soak the almonds in cool water and drain the soaked water after 20-40 minutes. Add fresh water and continue the soaking for another 8-12 hours.
Be sure the water covers all the almonds. Cover the bowl with something breathable like a cloth towel and leave the bowl in a warm place (room temperature). In the morning you can drain the water and eat them.
Eating 6 soaked almonds in the morning is recommended by many nutritionists. If you have soaked more nuts than six, refrigerate them after draining and drying on a paper towels.
If you want to continue to sprout them, you can. They make one of the best sprouts. Being that the almond skin is potentially irritating to the lining of the stomach and intestines, the almonds should be blanched following the soaking.
To blanch almonds:
- Place the soaked almonds in a saucepan of boiling water for 7 seconds.
- Immediately remove from heat and drain.
- Cover almonds with cold water to cool.
- Press each almond between thumb and forefinger to slip off skin.
- Dry almonds on paper towels.
You can also try blanching them in hot water from your faucet for 15 – 30 seconds.
The same soaking benefits apply to most nuts with a brown skin, but not to nuts with white skin like macadamias or pine nuts.
Taking the time to soak your almonds before eating is always worth the effort. So be sure you soak them first to obtain the fully enhanced benefits of this power food.
Get your day off to a roaring start. Add 6 blanched raw almonds to your oatmeal in the morning.
To your good heath & longevity.

Hello beautiful lady or fella!
I hope you are having a splendid day whatever time it is and wherever you are.
Random but I thought I’d share to find out if there’s anyone else out there that does this lol
So, I’m not a tea person. I drink Hot water. Yup, just hot water, on the odd occasion herbal tea or hot chocolate if I’m feeling fancy.
However, sometimes I make a cup of tea, just so I can dunk my biscuit in it. Not for the tea just the soggy biscuit.
I have to be careful though. An ill timed dunk can be detrimental.
The result can be a hot mess, especially without a spoon.
Pieces of biscuit floating and disintegrating in my tea – not a recommendation.
Incase you haven’t figured it out by now I definitely like a good biscuit. See below for my list of top five contenders.
Biscuit Dunk-ability ranking: My Top 5
- Shortbread (my absolute fav!!)
- Cookie (Freshly made. The gooeyer the better)
Are you like me? If so, what you’re top 3 dunk-able biscuits?

Winter Farm Share Recipes: Valentine’s Beet Bread
Surprise your sweetheart with a homemade loaf of bright red, local, healthy, hearty bread!
Ingredients: 3/4 cup warm water; 1 1/2 cups raw beet puree; 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 2 teaspoons salt; 1 teaspoon sugar; 2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast; ½ cup milk
Directions: For the beet puree, peel 2 large beets and chop into 1/4-inch pieces. Puree in a food processor with 1/2 cup milk until mixture is smooth and free of lumps. In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar and water. Let rest 5 minutes. In another bowl, combine flour and salt. Add in yeast mixture, beet puree and oil. Mix until just combined. Knead, by hand about 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove risen dough from bowl and shape into a round ball. Place dough on a baking stone or parchment paper-lined baking sheet and cover loosely with a lightly greased piece of plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375 degrees with an empty broiler pan placed on the rack beneath where you’ll put the baking stone or sheet. Before baking the bread, take off the plastic, sprinkle the top with a little flour and make an X shape on the top with a serrated knife. Place the bread in the oven and pour 1 cup hot water into the broiler pan, closing the oven door immediately. Bake 30 to 35 minutes (or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean). Allow bread to cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing or serving.

Winter Farm Share Recipes: Root Veggie and White Bean Soup with Homemade Potato Chips
Ingredients: 2 lbs of root vegetables; 1 onion, peeled and quartered; 4 clove garlic, peeled; 2 cups cooked white beans; 4 – 6 cups water; ½ cup white wine (or substitute with vegetable stock and a little vinegar); juice from ½ lemon; a dash of oregano; 2 tbsp vegetable oil; salt and pepper to taste
Homemade potato chips: 1 lb purple potatoes; salt to sprinkle
Directions: Preheat the oven to 400F. Wash well and cut root veggies into large pieces, place on a baking sheet together with onion and garlic. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden and soft inside. Meanwhile, slice the potatoes paper thin by using a mandolin or a sharp knife. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel and place on a parchment covered baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until lightly brown and the edge lift slightly. Turn them every 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they burn easily. When done, remove from oven and sprinkle with salt. Remove the root vegetables from the oven (let cool slightly) and place in food processor. Add beans and water (start with 4 cups, add more if needed) and mix until smooth. Pour the soup into a pot, bring to a simmer on medium heat and add white wine, lemon juice and oregano. Bring to a boil and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the stove and stir in the olive oil. Serve in bowls and garnish with your homemade potato chips and fresh herbs.

Today I feel like a complete and total failure. I had good intentions to eat well today, but I crashed and burned. The only meal I can be proud of was my Smartone's meal I had at lunch that was full in flavors and not in calories. I ate a crappy breakfast (made my meal replacement shake, got to work, saw a waffle and sausage link; ate that and my shake.... )... Total Fail!!
Had a good lunch, drank about 6 plastic cups full of water (72 ounces total)= A good thing I did today.
Dinner, oh Lord.... I totally failed. 2 fish filets, serving of macaroni and cheese, and 5 corn nuggets. 4 (ugh, embarrassing) cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for snacks throughout the day. I am really ashamed of this little meal choice right here, but I am alone tonight and didn't feel like messing with dinner tonight.
I am now parked on the couch and trying to make myself do my yoga. I am sooo exhausted and have no energy. I honestly don't know why I feel like I do today. Hopefully I am not catching something or getting sick, I need to be well.
All in all, not a total loss of hope, but not my best day ever.


The Romans used the name Italia to refer to the Italian peninsula. Additionally, Italy has been invaded and settled by many different peoples. Etruscans in Tuscany preceded the Romans and Umbria, while Greeks settled the south. Jews entered the country during the period of the Roman republic, and Germanic tribes came after the fall of Rome.
History[ edit ] Italian cuisine has developed over the centuries. Although the country known as Italy did not unite until the 19th centurythe cuisine can claim traceable roots as far back as the 4th century BCE.
Food and culture was very important at that time as we can see from the cookbook Apicius which dates back to first century BC. Italian food started to form after the fall of the Roman Empirewhen different cities began to separate and form their own traditions.
Many different types of bread and pasta were made, and there was a variation in cooking techniques and preparation. The country was split.
Regional cuisine is represented by some of the major cities in Italy. He wrote a poem that spoke of using "top quality and seasonal" ingredients. He said that flavors should not be masked by spicesherbs or other seasonings. He placed importance on simple preparation of fish.
By the time De re coquinaria was published in the 1st century CE, it contained recipes calling for heavy use of spices and herbs.
The Romans employed Greek bakers to produce breads and imported cheeses from Sicily as the Sicilians had a reputation as the best cheesemakers.
The Romans reared goats for butcheringand grew artichokes and leeks. Medieval cuisine A restored medieval kitchen inside Verrucole CastleTuscany.
With culinary traditions from Rome and Athensa cuisine developed in Sicily that some consider the first real Italian cuisine. Meats and fish were smokeddried, or kept on ice.
Brine and salt were used to pickle items such as herringand to cure pork. Root vegetables were preserved in brine after they had been parboiled. Other means of preservation included oilvinegaror immersing meat in congealed, rendered fat.
For preserving fruits, liquorhoney, and sugar were used. Dishes include "Roman-style" cabbage ad usum romanorumad usum campanie which were "small leaves" prepared in the "Campanian manner", a bean dish from the Marca di Trevisio, a torta, compositum londardicum which are similar to dishes prepared today.
Two other books from the 14th century include recipes for Roman pastello, Lasagna pie, and call for the use of salt from Sardinia or Chioggia.It was at least twenty years ago when I first broke the Italian Food Rule: Don’t Dip Bread in Olive Oil. Or, to clarify: Don’t serve bread with a bowl of olive oil with a swirl of balsamic vinegar as an appetizer (or any other part of the meal).
Italian Food & Recipes Simple, rich and with a focus on high-quality ingredients, Italian cuisine is popular all over the world. Culture and Globalization yunusemremert.comizationorg 3 better lives for the people in it." -- David Rothkopf, "In Praise of Cultural Imperialism," Foreign Policy.
Scarpetta’s founders are long-time friends Uberto Jasson D’Oria and Patrick Philion. Both Italian and food lovers, their vision is to create an Italian casual fast-food concept that guarantees genuine quality, authenticity and a real Italian experience.
But is the Italian food we know and love in the U.S. the same food people eat in Italy?
Besides knowing the source of their food, most Italians know just what to do with it. The Italian food culture concerns not only what we see at Italian tables or in a rich Italian restaurant menu.
It is something much deeper in Italians’ DNA.

Facts Regarding Manuka Honey Potency
Honey is big business all over the world plus New Zealand, manuka will be the honey of choice. It really is created from the flowers with the tea tree bush, a plant which provides tea tree oil. Honeybees find this bush very attractive and they gather nectar looking at the attractive flowers. After carrying the nectar to their hives, they place it in honeycombs where it may serve as food to sustain them through long winters. Beekeepers harvest some of this honey and then sell it to the people all over the world. One reason it is at such demand is its potency.
What Makes Manuka Honey Unique? Each kind of honey has different qualities because it is created from nectar of different flowers. The substance is distinguished by its flavor, color, and in many cases its smell. One distinguishing quality that is undetectable to the eye is potency. While all honey has antibacterial qualities due to its baking soda content, Manuka is unique as it has additional components which may have antibacterial qualities. Methylglyoxal, or MG, is one antibacterial substance that is certainly found in larger quantities in honey made out of tea tree flower nectar.
MG is done if the compound dihydroxyacetone, which is found in the flower nectar, is converted. The higher the MG concentration, the stronger the antibiotic company's honey. Producers of honey designed a scale to determine MG concentration and referred to it as the Manuka Factor (UMF). You should be aware that its not all Manuka honey has significant numbers of MG.
Precisely what is Active Manuka Honey? Manuka which is labeled "Active" or "UMF" features a UMF rating with a minimum of ten. This suggests that the substance is a bit more potent than versions which has a UMF under ten. Ratings extend to 16 however, many honey can be found having a UMF of 18. Consumers should get the UMF rating displayed prominently around the product label because manufacturers are proud to create active Manuka honey.
Active versions can be consumed very much the same as non-active varieties. Common uses include topping for frozen goodies or oatmeal, ingredient in baked items, or a sweetener for water, iced tea, and herbal tea. Some people enjoy honey straight out from the jar, consuming a tablespoon every morning to get a boost of one's. Others spread it on biscuits, muffins, or bread or make peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwiches.
Other Manuka Honey Uses. Such a honey is not only for eating. It is also utilized to make first aid treatments including antiseptic sprays and anti-itch and anti-fungal creams. Honey soap is available in both liquid and bar forms, so it is suitable for either living rooms or bathroom. Honey beeswax candles are extremely well-liked by consumers who like a subtle fragrance in their homes.
Active Manuka honey is starting to become widely used as media stories show that honey from certain countries just isn't as pure as claimed. If the urge strikes to attempt yet another kind of honey, think about the kind made from New Zealand tea tree flowers. When the taste isn't appealing, explore other products created from this unique substance.
