Up until 2015, Nigeria was one of the world’s largest importers of rice importing in excess 1.3 million metric tones of rice annually from Thailand alone, based on the statistics from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Aggregately, Nigeria imported millions in metric tones of rice annually. Further data showed that Nigeria spent $2.41 billion on rice importation between January 2012 and May 2015. Rice and other foods import were huge drains on Nigeria’s foreign exchange. A huge chunk of Nigeria’s forex earnings from crude oil sales are sunk into financing food importation, some of which we even have comparative advantage to produce.
Rice particularly became even a commodity for economic sabotage from Nigeria’s neighbors. Tones of rice were smuggled into Nigeria illegally, robbing Nigeria’s economy off revenues whilst enriching her neighbours that have become safe haven for smugglers. Benin republic particularly was a huge importer of rice, but was consuming less than 10 percent of its annual imports – the rest of the rice ended in Nigeria, legally and illegally. Of course, the smuggled rice far outweighed those that came in through custom controlled borders.
Worried by this and the seemingly incapacitated disposition of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) top stop rice smuggling, the CBN introduced the novel Anchor Borrowers Programme (ABP) introduced in2015 sought to end rice foreign rice dependency.
The CBN reckoned that Nigeria had the land and capability to produce sufficient rice locally and for exports too thus, introduced a deliberate funding mechanism to energize local farmers and millers meet the growing rice demand.
The AB Programme launched by President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) on November 17, 2015 is creates a linkage between anchor companies (millers in the case of rice) involved in the processing and small holder farmers (SHFs). The Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria (RIFAN) and Rice processors Association of Nigeria (RIPAN) will later be the key stakeholders in driving the programme.
Six years down the line, Nigeria’s rice import dependency has dropped by over 70 percent and counter. Some rice farmers and far within the value chain have been millionaires, something that was almost considered impossible just six years ago. Rice pyramids have also sprung up across the country.
Also data from the Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC), by 2019, Nigeria’s rice production averaged 4.5 million MT, the highest level in Africa. This suggest Nigeria’s rice import may have dropped to less than one million MT.
Giving a score card of the programme recently in Abuja at the unveiling of FCT Mega Rice Pyramids under The RIFANCBN Anchor Borrowers’ Programme by President Muhammadu Buhari, the CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele said “the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme has catalyzed the rural economy and has built a sustainable framework for financing small holder farmers in Nigeria” adding that “the Programme has developed an ecosystem among all nodes of the agricultural value chain and these linkages can be better optimized through synergy among all stakeholders.”
He said “as at the end of December 2021, we have financed 4,489,786 farmers that cultivated 5,300,411 hectares across 21 commodities through 23 Participating Financial Institutions in the 36 States of the Federation and FCT.”
the CBN Governor would further state that these efforts have yielded fruits in not just increasing the availability of rice, but also in moderating prices, reducing imports and increasing job creation in the country.
He also said Nigeria’s rice import statistic is refreshingly dropping. “Thailand alone exported 1.3 million metric tons of rice to Nigeria in 2014. The ABP was launched in 2015 to curtail these imports, and since then, we have seen incremental reductions in rice imports from Thailand. By 2016, rice imports from Thailand had fallen to only 58,000 metric tons. As of the end of 2021, they only exported 2,160 metric tons to Nigeria, thereby saving us foreign exchange and helping preserve jobs in Nigeria.”
“Beyond increasing our national output from about 5.4 million metric tons in 2015 to over 9 million metric tons in 2021, we have also significantly improved the productivity per hectare of the smallholder farmer from about 2.4 metric tons per ha in 2015 to between about 5 metric tons per ha in 2021. These expansions have not only made Nigeria the largest rice producer in Africa, but has also unlocked enormous private sector investment in the rice value chain as the number of Integrated Rice Mills grew astronomically from 6 in 2015 to over 50 in 2021 with many more in various stages of completion. Today, Nigeria’s milled rice matches the foreign rice in quality” Mr. Emefiele said excitedly.
No dice. Gains have been recorded in the six years deliberate investments in the rice value chain. But how sustainable would this be with the growing insecurity across the country? Insecurity has impacting farmers ability to access their farms and pay back their loans. It is obvious hundreds, if not thousands of farmers may have already defaulted in their ABP loans repayment because of the impact of terrorism within their locality. Should the insecurity fester, the gains of the ABP may be rolled back unfortunately and, Nigeria return to the ignoble days of huge rice import bills.
Again, will be the next CBN Governor be willing to continue the heterodox policy of the Godwin Emfiele led CBN? Should he or she decides to focus on core monetary policy issues, what would become of the ABP? Would the Federal Ministry of Agriculture or the ailing bank of Agriculture (BOA) be able to step in the gap? Time shall naturally provide answers to these nagging questions but for now, at Economy Footprints we challenge both the CBN and the Federal government to make the ABP programme outlive Godwin Emefiele.


I have a few more dinner, lunch and snack inspirations coming your way!
I know that this is a weird combination but we made due with what we had at home last night for dinner and it actually came out super delicious!
Last night I had spaghetti and fried okra for dinner. You know I am all about quick delicious meals.
The fried okra is from the frozen section of our local grocery store, I checked the nutrition label and it is vegan! Some are not so always be sure to check the label beforehand. The tomato sauce that I used is store brand as well, I just added some extra ingredients to give it that home made vibe. I don’t have a specific brand that I always use, I try out different ones all the time. There are some that I like more than others, that I don’t feel over power the dish so I try to stick with those.
If you would like to replicate this dish I will list the ingredients below as well as quick and simple directions. I do not provide measurements because there really is no need to. I usually “eyeball” it and try to see what would work best with the amount of people that will be eating.
- tomato sauce (brand of choice or if you are adventurous.. home made!)
- frozen or fresh onion and peppers (I used frozen)
- spinach (fresh or frozen)
- vegan “ground beef” crumbles
- any side of veggies of choice, I decided to go with breaded okra
Boil pasta while simultaneously in another pan saute onion and peppers and vegan “ground beef” crumbles. If you would like veggies on the side I suggest you get those started as well. Once you saute everything for about 5-7 min, add tomato sauce of choice and spinach and cook that for about another 5 min or so. Then once everything is cooked you may plate and enjoy. Remember that you may need to cook a little longer depending on how much you are making. The amount that I made was for about 3 people.
That is it for this dish, very simple and easy to make and wont take up too much of your time. It is always better to cook at home because you know what you are putting into your dish. Even if you use store bought items it is still healthier than eating out. Although it is nice to go out once in a while and enjoy a meal that you do not have to cook.
Thank you for following my blog and I will be back soon!

A few weeks ago, I was leading a nutrition workshop at Athleta and a woman in the audience asked me about salt. She was someone who craves it and was looking for ways to eat less of it while not sacrificing the flavor of her food. That question inspired me to put together these healthy alternatives to table salt.
I totally understood this woman’s question, but here’s the thing about salt that most people don’t realize.
Salt isn’t necessarily bad for you. In fact, sodium is a required nutrient for maintaining good health.
In a nutshell, salt controls the body’s fluid balance, blood pressure and how the nerves and muscles function.
The problem with salt and why most people assume it’s unhealthy is that most of the salt in our food- especially packaged and prepared or restaurant food — is refined table salt which is ultra-processed and stripped of all its nutrients — in other words, iodized table salt. This is the salt that contributes to high blood pressure, heart disease weight gain and other health problems.
If you’re a salt-lover, clear your cupboards of any and all table salt and try these 7 healthy alternatives to table salt:
Sea salt: Sea salt is unrefined and full of trace minerals that get absorbed into the food. There are several different varieties, colors and textures of sea salt that are intended for different uses. A little goes a long way and you’ll use less of this high-quality salt but appreciate the flavor it imparts on your food.
Coconut aminos: Coconut sap blended with sea salt, this is an amino acid-rich condiment that works great as a substitute for soy sauce
Umeboshi plum vinegar: Made from the leftover brine of pickled umeboshi plums, this is best on anything really but try it over steamed veggies or in salad dressings
Tamari: Another healthier alternative to soy sauce, tamari is wheat-free
Bragg’s Liquid Aminos: Similar to coconut aminos, Bragg’s is non-GMO soy-derived liquid protein concentrate
Dulse or Kelp: Iodine, mineral and nutrient-rich sea vegetables can double as salt when sprinkled on salads, soups or vegetables. Dulse can be toasted as a salty snack.
Nutritional Yeast: De-activated yeast that is a good source of B-vitamins and folic acid. It can be used in place of salt and vegans often depend on it to impart a cheese-like flavor to food.

March is Nutrition Month, one complaint that occurs among college students is they do not care for the types of food that are served in the dining facilities on campus.
“I would recommend they talk with the staff in the dining hall to offer suggestions. I think they would love to hear from students what foods they do or do not like, so that they can make a variety of meals more available,” said Debbie Isaacson, School of Nursing Assistant Professor.
Another situation that can happen in college is that students will have classes scheduled during normal meal times. In spite of this, dining facilities hours are usually long enough to allow students time to eat a meal before or after class. If this is really not possible, then the student could ask the professor if they would allow them to eat lunch in class.
There are some classes, such as science labs, where this would not be a possibility. It has been suggested that in these situations students should consider bringing snacks and water with them to help them stay satisfied and hydrated. Some examples of snacks that are recommended for students to have on hand are fresh fruits and vegetables, unsalted mixed nuts or granola.
College students do need to make sure they obtain adequate nutrition. They should eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and choose to eat lean meat that has been grilled, baked, or broiled. Students should try and avoid foods that have been fried or highly processed as they can cause weight gain. Also, limit foods that have a high sugar content.
The vending machines on campus now have some healthier options available for students, but avoid the consumption of energy drinks and drink at least 48 ounces of water every day.
“There is a variety of food available to choose from and that the menu is always changing,” said Tiffany McManis, Nurse Practitioner. “I also know that dining services is open to student suggestions for different menu items, so if there is a particular item they would really like to see on the menu, they should submit a request to dining hall director.”
If students would like more nutrition tips, they can find more information by going to the following websites: health.usnews.com and clarke.edu/page.aspx?id=6510

Birds as Food
Birds are an important food source for humans. The most commonly
eaten species is the domestic chicken and its eggs, although geese,
pheasants, turkeys, and ducks are also widely eaten. Other birds
that have been utilized for food include emus, ostriches, pigeons,
grouse, quails, doves, woodcocks, songbirds, and others, including
small passerines such as finches. Birds grown for human consumption
are referred to as Poultry.
At one time swans and flamingos were delicacies of the rich and
powerful, although these are generally protected now.
Many species have become extinct through over-hunting, such as
the Passenger Pigeon, and many others have become endangered or
extinct through habitat destruction, deforestation and intensive
agriculture being common causes for declines.
Birds such as chickens and turkeys are regularly farm-raised for
slaughter and commercial sale, although in the early days of farming
and domestication, the poultry population was carefully monitored.
A human family depended upon eggs and fowl not just as a staple
of their daily diet (both for meat and eggs), but for their feathers
(to fill mattresses and pillows) and for trade of the same with
other farmers and settlers.
Although we rely on birds as food just as much today, commercial
farmers raise the birds in far greater numbers than was once possible,
and finding eggs or poultry is never any further than the closest

Raspberry Lambic Brownies
The beneficiary of my baking really likes the combination of raspberries and chocolate. After searching online for baked good ideas using some sort of beer, I came across these Cherry Lambic Brownies at Oh My Veggies. The modification was obvious - it's raspberry season, so substitute the cherries for fresh raspberries, and use raspberry lambic instead of cherry. The results were quite satisfying!
I really liked these brownies, although I preferred them refrigerated than warm. When they were warm, I found that there wasn't really a lot of distinction between the flavors, and nothing really stood out. In fact, I wished I had used a darker chocolate. Cold, I felt like I could taste both the raspberry and the chocolate individually. The raspberry lambic brings a flavor to these brownies that are reminiscent of raspberry extract, but more authentically raspberry. It really brings a lot of flavor. Top that off with burst of fresh raspberries, and this is a winning brownie. The only thing I'd think about changing for next time would be to reduce the amount of sugar by about 1/4 cup.
- 3/4 cup raspberry lambic (I used Lindemans)
- 1 bag bittersweet chocolate (12oz)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1.5 cups sugar (recommend using 1 or 1.25 cups)
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 pint fresh raspberries, rinsed and roughly chopped
Preheat your oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 baking dish
Bring lambic to a boil on high and reduce heat to medium. Continue to heat until the lambic has been reduced by about 1/3. I eyeballed the reduction in this step. The color becomes a very rich red and you should be able to see that the mixture is slightly thicker with a stirring utensil. Set aside.
I followed in Kiersten's lazy footsteps and microwaved my chocolate and butter for 30 second increments until both were melted. This only took me 2 30 seconds passes.
Whisk sugar, eggs, salt, and vanilla until combined. Add the chocolate in several batches (I did it in 4). Once the chocolate has been incorporated, add the lambic. This will give your batter a reddish tint. Stir in the flour. Fold in the raspberries.
Pour into your prepared dish and bake for about 30 minutes. I kept an eye on my batter and found that after 30 minutes the brownie didn't really set. In order not to burn it, I turned off the heat on the oven and let it continue to sit in there. I checked it every few minutes until I was satisfied with the consistency. The result was a perfectly gooey brownie.


From all the smarty answers the asker recieved, I realized it was actually an important answer, and people need to be better educated, so they can make better choices for their dinner table!
Goats, rabbits, sheep, alpacas, llamas, deer, elk, ect all produce round poop. All of these animals are highly efficient at squeezing all the moisture out of their food, for most of their water intake needs. This squeezing effect produces the round poop.
Round manures are %26quot;cold%26quot; manures and can be applied directly to gardens with no harm to the delicate new plants.
Animals like horses, cows, pigs %26amp; chickens must have their poop composted for a year or TWO or it will burn the plants.
Round poop animals are much more efficient at extracting the nutrition from their feed.
So to be more earth friendly, would you concider eating more goat, sheep, and rabbits?
10 months agoA link to the question in Zoology for those who were interested:
10 months agoGoat has LESS fat than SKINLESS BREAST OF CHICKEN! Are you sure you ate goat, and not lamb? Of was it cooked in a ton of bacon fat, like many people do?
The obvious answer is, if the animals like goats, sheep and rabbits are being raised for our meat needs, that means fewer cows, pigs and chickens will be produced.
More earth friendly manures from the round poop animals, and less from the ones that are not so earth friendly.
Best Answer - Chosen by VotersEr, no. All meat takes more energy to produce than vegetables chicken takes twice as much energy, beef takes seven, and the rest are inbetween.

So...is it the %26quot;shape%26quot; of the poop or the fact that it is uniformly formed? B/c horse poop from a properly fed horse looks like large brown Darvocets...uniform shape/consistency.
I know it is too hot for the garden the first year out, but the following season, it%26#039;s great fertilizer. 14% 1 Vote
Goat is a bit greasy, but I like the taste. Rabbit is similar to chicken, mutton (sheep) is good if you cook it correctly. I wouldn%26#039;t mind eating more of it, but that doesn%26#039;t help with being earth friendly--how can they poop if they%26#039;re dead? I don%26#039;t have a place to raise these animals for manure production, but if I ever do, I will raise a few rabbits for my own garden.

I agree about fowls , chicken , turkey not using for fertilizer. Due the amonia inside the droppings gives it the potent burning effect on plant roots. I%26#039;ve used fresh cow, horse, rabbit droppings on my gardens and it produces fabulous plants. I guess horses, cows and rabbits don%26#039;t have as much ammonia in them.

5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COOKING
I have a very special English Language mentor who is incredibly creative. It was her idea that I co-author this ebook with her guidance as part of an English Language activity. I had never thought I could write an ebook but she made it possible for me. You see, in my family, whenever it is meal preparation time, somehow of the four siblings, I am the one in the kitchen cooking with my father. Cooking is something I’ve always enjoyed. I started cooking at 10. Cooking may seem difficult initially but once you start enjoying it, cooking gets easier. In this ebook I share five tips about cooking. In the beginning, it’s good to follow instructions and recipes but when you get used to it, you can create your own recipes.

I am absolutely obsessed with homemade pasta. There is no way to describe exactly how superior it is to store bought dry stuff. Since I bought my pasta roller attachment for my Kitchenaid, I have yet to buy a box of dry. This is something I am proud of, as it definitely makes pasta night a full on endeavor, instead of something quick and easy. But still totally worth it.
In the summer the best way to eat pasta is with a heaping spoonful of pesto. Not a store bought jar of oil and salt. Real, fresh herbs. Add some grilled salmon and it is like being in summer paradise.
For my pesto, I use a combination of basil and arugula. I grow my own fresh basil, but pesto requires such a huge quantity that in order to keep my plant alive I fortify it with about the same amount of…

If you are looking for foods to boost your mood there are plenty to choose from. Many people think that diet is the answer when it comes to boosting your spirits, but it isn’t the only factor. The food we eat can affect our mood. There are foods to eat to help your mood and get you through those difficult times in life.
When you eat foods to boost your mood, you will find that your body begins to produce compounds called dopamine. These are responsible for our feelings of happiness and sadness. Even if you don’t have depression, you will probably notice that you tend to have cravings for sweets or carbohydrates. Sugar and carbohydrates are the best sources of dopamine. Here are some foods to eat to keep your dopamine levels up.
Raw beets are an excellent food to boost your mood because they are packed full of nutrients like folate and tryptophan. Beets are also extremely rich in lutein and vitamin B6, which are also important for brain health. Try eating a raw beetroot with some crusty bread. It is a high source of folate and tryptophan and will help you feel more emotionally stable. If you don’t like the taste of raw beetroot, you can mash it up into a gooey substance and eat it raw.
Eggs are another great food to boost your mood because of their protein. When you have a big meal there is a great rush of dopamine and serotonin throughout your brain and in your stomach. However, the level of those two hormones will return to normal soon after you eat your meal. Therefore, it is important to watch the amount of food you eat because over-stimulation of these two hormones can interfere with your sleep.
Fish contain several essential nutrients including omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to boost brain function. Your mood will also be boosted by eating several types of fish. The best kinds to eat are salmon, Herring, sardines, and tuna. You may also want to include nuts in your diet in the form of almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, and cashews. The combination of the various nuts and fish will give you a healthy balance of amino acids, lignans, and serotonin. Nuts also have a high concentration of heart-healthy fats.
Dark chocolate has many health benefits. One of them is that it contains flavonoids that act as antioxidants and are particularly good for lowering blood pressure and improving your immune system. Flavonoids fight the free radicals that cause damage to cells in our body and can lower the risk of heart disease. Studies have shown that eating a small amount of dark chocolate each day can reduce the risk of depression by almost 50 percent.
Folate is another food to boost your mood because it helps keep your brain healthy and your nerve cells working properly. Folate is found in some common, but uncommon fruits and vegetables such as liver, broccoli, carrots, squash, and red lettuce. Foods rich in folate are especially important for pregnant women who need to take careful precautions to ensure their baby’s health. It is not found in fast food. This is one of the reasons why it is best to avoid eating junk food, especially when you want to boost your mood.
Foods rich in L-carnitine
Last but not least, eat foods rich in L-carnitine. L-carnitine is a fat-soluble nutrient that helps make your body fuel-efficient, regulate mood, improve cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of serious diseases like cancer and heart disease. It is found in fatty fish, poultry, pork, dairy products, and legumes. Studies have found that eating large amounts of l-carnitine can help prevent depression. For those with existing mental health issues, eating foods high in L-carnitine may be especially important, as studies have shown an elevated risk of depression if you have low levels of this nutrient.

Cook chicken wings for 18 to 20 minutes, turning once. Cook boneless chicken legs for 2 to 10 minutes, turning once. Oil the grill by wiping it down with an oily brush or paper towel. Chicken is more inclined to abide by a dirty grill. Oiling it's going to shield the chicken from sticking. For entire chicken and bone-in chicken, utilize indirect medium heat.
- These generally come untrimmed from the bundle with minimum processing.
- Maintain the chicken breasts hot, about 140°F (60°C) while they break.
- Brush olive oil on the grates in your own grill using a paper towel, then pre-heat the grill to medium.
- I suggest marinating your chicken for a minimum of 30 minutes and no longer than two hours.
- You just need three ingredients to grill moist and flavorful chicken breasts.
Pound boneless chicken breasts level till they are approximately 3/4 inches (1.91 centimeters) thick. Put the chicken breasts inside a plastic, resealable freezer bag. Seal the bag, then hit on the chicken using a rolling pin or meat pounder. The bag will keep the juices from splattering all over the kitchen. When you're finished, take the chicken breasts from the bag and wash them. Read Also Make The Chicken Ahead Of Time
Want To Become A Pro At Grilling Other Meats?
It may be as straightforward as an Italian dressing table, or anything homemade. In any event, the exact same cooking strategy applies.
Even boneless, skinless chicken breasts will probably be moist and juicy on the grill. Set up your grill for two-zone cooking. You need indirect heat to cook your chicken. Bone-in chicken holds everything together and, for chicken breasts, functions as a heat shield. When possible, we would rather cook bone-in chicken. To begin with, begin with a fresh grill. Also Read Best Grilled Chicken Recipes
To grill chicken breasts, first, wrap them in plastic wrap and set them onto a cutting board. Pound the chicken using a tenderizer until it is uniformly thick so that it cooks evenly.
If the grill is too warm, the meat will tighten, which compels marinade and organic juices out. The temperature that's too high is that the No. 1 reason chicken melts out. Searing the item first can help you to maintain moisture inside. Once seared, reduce the temperature of the grill and cook slowly. Thirty minutes before grilling, remove chicken from the solution and tap dry.
Mastering Red Meat
Transferring chicken straight from the marinade into the grill will lead to flare-ups. Wetness also cools the grates and ends in sticking.


It all started in Rovinj, back in the year 1972., when Corrado Pellizzer opened the door of his first fish restaurant Giannino. Corrado, son of a fisherman, decided to use his vast knowledge about the sea to create and serve food that brings out the full taste of the sea and reminds him of his childhood.
Corrado Pellizzer is responsible for building a tradition that last decades. With his skillful hands and bright spirit, he is among the best chefs of his generation. Even to this day, he cooks with ease and passion.
Together with his two sons Giovanni and Nereo, he manages Giannino and two other restaurants. The incredibly beautiful and romantic Puntulina and newly renovated historic Rio bar.
Tradition that lasts for over three decades.

Between just moving into a new place, and not having enough time to house-sit as National Grid sets up gas, I have reluctantly had my fair share of takeout, microwaveable dinners, and rice (thanks to my trusty and nifty rice cooker) this week. On Wednesday, after waking up feeling a bit under the weather, the thought of another microwavable meal made my stomach turn. It also happened to be one of the coldest days I’ve experienced this entire winter. I thought a bowl of ramen would suffice. It was 10:45 am and I had just gotten out of class. After yelping a few ramen spots, I opted for a place I’ve walked past a million times but had never had the opportunity to try — Dojo Restaurant, described as a “long-running college student favorite with a budget menu of everything from burgers to Japanese fare.”
Dojo Restaurant, which has been around since 1974, has seen it all: street riots, pop art, and music culture movement stemming from popular figures such as Andy Warhol and Jean Michel Basquiat. (The restaurant’s site delves further into the history of the restaurant if you’re interested.) After undergoing renovations in 2014, Dojo added more Japanese food options and constructed a ramen shop within the restaurant.
Not only was Dojo one of the very few restaurants serving ramen as early as 11 in the morning, but the service was also quick and the waiters were beyond friendly. I was sat at a table facing the bar, a sort of middle ground between the new ramen extension and the older, more traditional part of the restaurant.
They have a wide variety of ramen — 7 different selections offered throughout the year and 1 summer special. I ordered the miso ramen for $13, which is a solid staple I usually use to gauge the quality of ramen at different restaurants. My dish was ready within 10 minutes. The miso ramen served here consists of a soybean paste base made of white and red miso paste, homemade tonkotsu pork and chicken broth, wood-ear mushroom, corn, scallion, wakame seaweed, bamboo shoots, soft boiled egg, bean sprouts, and pork belly. I’m not the biggest fan of eggs, and they agreed to switch out the egg for more corn without any hassle. The broth was perfect. Not too salty or thick. The noodles weren’t bad either, although I wish they were firmer. The pork was almost as good as the broth. While some prefer pork that has a bit of fat, fat on meat turns me off, so I will leave it to you to form your own opinion on their pork belly.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good hearty and affordable bowl of ramen. I personally rate the bowl of ramen I had as a solid 3 on a scale of 1-5. They also have ramen and bento boxes ready to go which is convenient for students and young professionals who are always on the run. Thanks for reading!


Ketogenic meal plans have already been in use since 1924 in pediatrics being a treatment method for epilepsy. A ketogenic (keto) diet is a person which is substantial in excess fat and minimal in carbs. The look of the ketogenic diet is always to shifts the body’s metabolic fuel from burning carbohydrates to fat. Using the keto diet program, the body metabolizes fats, in place of sugar, into electricity. Ketones certainly are a byproduct of that procedure askthetrainer.com/5-insanely-easy-keto-diet-tips-for-beginners.
In excess of the years, ketogenic weight loss plans are already utilized to handle diabetes. Just one justification was that it treats diabetic issues at its root result in by decreasing carbohydrate intake resulting in reduced blood sugar, which consequently, lowers the need for insulin which minimizes insulin resistance and affiliated metabolic syndrome. In this way, a ketogenic diet may possibly make improvements to blood glucose (sugar) levels even though within the exact same time minimizing the need for insulin. This standpoint offers keto diets for a a lot safer and more successful program than injecting insulin to counteract the use of substantial carbohydrate foods.
A keto diet regime is definitely an incredibly restrictive diet program. While in the classic keto diet program for example, 1 receives about 80 percent of caloric requirements from unwanted fat and twenty p.c from proteins and carbohydrates. It is a marked departure from your norm where by your body runs on vitality from sugar derived from carbohydrate digestion but by seriously limiting carbs, your body is pressured to employ body fat in its place.
A ketogenic eating plan calls for nutritious foodstuff intake from effective fat, these kinds of as coconut oil, grass-pastured butter, organic and natural pastured eggs, avocado, fish this sort of as salmon, cottage cheese, avocado, almond butter and raw nuts (raw pecans and macadamia). Individuals on ketogenic meal plans keep away from all bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, flour, starchy greens, and dairy. The diet is lower in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients and involve supplementation.
Reduced carbohydrate eating plan is often suggested for individuals with type 2 diabetes since carbs turn to blood sugar which in large portions trigger blood sugar to spike. As a result, to get a diabetic who already has substantial blood sugar, feeding on added sugar developing foodstuff is like courting hazard. By switching the main focus from sugar to fat, some patients can knowledge lowered blood sugar.
Shifting the body’s major electrical power supply from carbohydrates to fat leaves powering the byproduct of extra fat metabolism, ketones inside the blood. For a few diabetic people, this could be unsafe as a buildup of ketones may possibly build a danger for building diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA can be a medical crisis requiring the speedy of a medical doctor. DKA signs contain regularly higher blood sugar, dry mouth, polyuria, nausea, breath that has a fruit-like odor and respiration troubles. Troubles can cause diabetic coma.

Go Stros!!! One of the biggest lures Houston has had for me, after moving from the hill country, is that the Home of the Astros, Minute Maid Park ball park, actually has SOY DOGS! I was in pure heaven when, while at my first Astros game, my husband surprisingly brought me back an actual ball park hot dog! I haven't been able to partake in this American tradition in....EVER! So Houston immediately went up in
hot dog brownie points.
Oh. I'm pretty sure we lost that game. Against the Red Sox maybe? Was there a game even going on??? Errr....sorry, but I was too busy documenting everything in my mind about this momentous occasion of me eating a hot dog...at a baseball game!
OMG - anyway, I had come across an article in the Vegetarian Times magazine that gave me the Good Morning Dog idea. Pure holy yumminess is the only way I can describe it....plus if you use the veggie dogs and veggie bacon like me, there is more protein than fat, and who doesn't like that???
*You can obviously replace the veggie dog and veggie bacon with the real stuff for this breakfast, but why do that???? ;)
Good Morning Dog
TRUST ME! THESE. ARE. AWESOME.
You'll need: a vegetarian hot dog, unsalted butter, vegetarian bacon strips, an egg, American cheese, and a whole wheat hot dog bun
1) Spray a skillet with PAM (or whatever cooking spray you use). Slice the hot dog(s) lengthwise and grill both sides.
I like to use the panini grill to get both sides evenly grilled at the same time.
2) Heat 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat and cook the "bacon" according to whichever-brand-you-are-using's directions. Put aside.
3) Add another 1 tbsp of butter to the skillet and reduce heat to medium to fry your egg. Flip your egg (when it's firm enough to be flipped) and cook for another minute.
*If you are using EggBeaters like me, 1/4 cup = 1 egg.
4) Toast the hot dog bun. (I literally just put mine in the toaster)
5) Add a slice of cheese to the top of the egg. When the cheese gets nice and "melty" (thanks to the use of Taco Bell's lovely descriptive, almost poetic terms in their advertisements, my vocabulary keeps expanding), move the egg into the hot dog bun.
6) Add a couple strips of "bacon" on the egg. Put the dog on top of the bacon, and then wrap the bun around it and enjoy!
These are so good and so filling. One is enough for me and that will get me through breakfast AND lunch. Whenever I have make these for breakfast, I always think that Adam from Man vs. Food will appear and attempt to eat 20 of these in 30 minutes. Maybe because it reminds of the types of things he eats on the show or maybe because it reminds me of my fantasy of having him over, forcing him to stay and then replacing him myself as the host...

Parks: We visited Xenotes, Xcaret, Xplor Fuego, and Xenses. Our favorites were Xenotes and Xenses, but this could all be left to personal opinion. We were there for 7 days and all though we were well planned opted to not over plan and just enjoy the trip.
We ended up canceling our Xel Ha reservations to spend an additional day at the resort (by that point we knew we would be coming back in the future). We rarely had any waits at any of the parks. We’ll try an atv in cozumel recommended by the staff. The only thing to note is that I would suggest at Xenses to start with the dry side and end with the west team (The Town). There are locker rooms to change in between. The bus that ran to Xplor, Xenses, and Xcaret was very timely and comfortable.
Restaurants: Hands down, the Mercado buffet is the best buffet we have ever experienced! We ate all the restaurants that required reservations. Cuevas was our least favorite as the night we went there was no breeze and very hot. Fusion was great.
The teppanyaki table was typical but always fun. The sushi bar was phenomenal! I don’t eat seafood of any kind, and the sushi chef was kind enough to prepare me sushi out of beef, chicken, and veggies so that I could be part of the experience. Not only was it delicious, but it was beautiful as well. We didn’t even ask for this as I was taking one for the team that night and was happy to swing by the taco cart! I’d say the sushi bar was our favorite! We also ate at Chibali.
The service was outstanding, and the food was delicious as well. The desserts were to die for. My son was excited when his milkshake included sprinkles around the rim of the cup, lots of whipped cream and a donut! We also at as Las Playas, which was also delicious (my husband says it is the best shrimp cocktail he has ever had). I was sad to not eat at La Cantina or Bio. Just leaves me more to look forward to on our next visit.
All of the above was amazing, but the main reason that we will be going back was the people. Every single person that we encountered were so genuinely kind!
Those who made our visit extra special were Jonathan at check-in, Crystel in the lobby bar who made the most fantastic coffee ever, and Dulce, the hostess at Xin Gao. In addition to the people, the property itself has a magical quality. At every turn, the property is beautiful. I could go on and on about each and every detail. We cannot wait to go back here!


I love all kinds of cookies, cakes and treats. In an effort to curb my sweet addiction, I decided that carrot cakes were my favorite because I thought they were healthier and because they taste so good. You too?
Turns out typically that most carrot cakes recipes have more sugar than a typical white cake. Often they’re too sweet to enjoy after the third bite.
That said, carrot cakes have been enjoyed for centuries.
Carrots have been used in sweet cakes since the medieval period, during which time sweeteners were scarce and expensive, while carrots, which contain more sugar than any other vegetable besides the sugar beet, were much easier to come by and were used to make sweet desserts.
Carrot cakes first became commonly available in restaurants and cafeterias in the United States in the early 1960s. They were at first a novelty item, but people liked them so much that carrot cake became standard dessert fare.
This cake is so popular, the Food Network listed carrot cake, with it’s cream-cheese icing, as number five of the top five fad foods. I just had to Kimplify them (aka make them healthy) and turn them into cupcakes.
They’re gluten free with no refined sugar, and are actually good for you. Plus, you can enjoy them even if you’re on a Paleo, Primal, or even HCG phase 3 diet.
