Purple Sweet Potato?!?
I was trying to use some produce before it went bad and I had a sweet potato in the fridge for a while. I baked it and thought we'd each have some "mashed" sweet potato with dinner (it was a big one). When I got it out of the microwave and cut it IT WAS PURPLE INSIDE. I thought that it must be bad and looked it up online; well apparently there is a purple sweet potato. HOW FUN! I didn't mash it well, but I did put a little butter and honey on it. It looked just like a regular sweet potato from the outside and I must have accidentally bought it or it must have accidentally gotten into the sweet potato stack at the grocery store. I hope I can find it in the future! The holiday menu just got a little brighter :).
Incidentally, the spinach salad behind it has mandarin oranges, almond slices, onion and a pomegranate salad dressing. Yum!

Meet our Chief Truffle Maker
Jean-Marc Gorce has always loved chocolate.
As a young boy he would obsessively raid the pantry for chocolate, not leaving even a crumb to share. As a result, his mother would often hide her personal stash of sweets. But the curious Jean-Marc and younger brother, Ludvic, would eventually discover all of their mother’s hiding places. When she realized her bounty was diminishing, she would confront the boys, and Jean-Marc would mischievously blame it on Ludvic. Oh, the chocolate struggles of his youth. With hindsight, one can see the beginnings of a truffle maker here.
In France, during the Christmas and New Year's festivities, friends and families greet each other with cheer and merriment and chocolate truffles. As the boys grew older, they regularly participated in this tradition of making but mostly eating chocolate truffles. Every year, their mother would create batches of vanilla-infused, dark chocolate ganache nuggets and roll them in cocoa.
Our bite-sized delights at XOX Truffles build on Maman’s recipe. Chef Jean-Marc adds his own culinary technique and signature flavors to craft each truffle into a delicious and decadent experience.
Drop by and savor one or more of our 26 artisanal flavors, including liqueured, non-liqueured, and vegan chocolates.

Healthy Food Swaps
One of the hardest things about losing weight can be giving up your favourite foods, so try these food and drink swaps that will go some way to satisfying your particular craving. And remember - the longer you stick with healthy food, the more likely it is that your body will adapt and you’ll start naturally choosing it. Check out these recipes for some simple but delicious ideas to help you love real food. And remember - small portion sizes are key to weight loss!
Fizzy drinks -- Tap water with a slice of orange or lemon
Benefits: Water has zero calories and zero sugar! If you want to make it a bit more flavoursome, try a squeeze of an orange or lemon.
Cappuccino -- Black or white coffee
Benefits: A standard mug of black coffee contains 2kcal and a white coffee with semi skimmed milk has around 20kcal, whereas even a medium shop-bought latte can have up to 150kcal!
Tea with sugar -- Tea without sugar or fruit teas
Benefits: Try and slowly cut down on sugar in tea or coffee, until you eventually have none! Do this gradually to adjust yourself to the difference in taste. And fruit teas will give you a sweet, hot beverage without all the sugar. And they come in all sorts of flavours.
Breakfast cereal -- Porridge
Benefits: Porridge is actually a better option than “diet” cereals as it’s higher in fibre so will keep you fuller for longer meaning you won’t want a snack an hour after you’ve eaten it.
White bread/pasta/rice -- Wholegrain bread/pasta/rice
Benefits: Whole grains contain the “whole grain” which keeps it rich in nutrients and fibre - which fills you up!
Whole milk - Semi skimmed or skimmed milk
Cut back on calories and sat fat in dairy by changing for lower-fat options.
Fruit flavoured yoghurt -- Greek yoghurt with berries
Benefits: Fruit flavoured yoghurts often have lots of added sugar rather than actual fruit. Greek yoghurt is much more filling than other yoghurts and won’t leave you wanting more. Stick with original rather than low fat as low fat yoghurt often has sugar added to it to make up for flavour lost in the removal of fat. Adding your own fruit is a much healthier option.
Rice -- Cauliflower Rice
Benefits: Cauliflower rice is just grated cauliflower - it might sound strange, but a lot of people have started to replace it or even mix it with rice to cut down on calories and get more nutrients. Grate a cauliflower, and either stir fry for 5 minutes or cover and cook in a microwave on high for 3 minutes.


Originally, vending machines were utilized for a much different purpose than they are utilized today. They were invented well over a 100 years ago and, believe it or not, were originally intended to sell holy water. In 1888, we saw the first vending machines that sold edibles i.e. they were gum dispensers that were located in the train stations of New York City. By 1950, they provided vendors with the capabilities to sell refrigerated sandwiches however, few sold these perishable goods.
A New Twist on an Old Automat
It wasn’t until recently, that vending machines began selling more than their usual fare of cigarettes, soda, candy, and coffee. Nowadays, you can find vending machines that sell eggs, fresh fruit, nutritious juices, raw milk, fresh meals on the go, and much more. These foods don’t contain any preservatives and provide consumers with healthy options that many fast food restaurants and other vending machines just don’t offer on their menus.
This new movement, dubbed ‘Fresh Vending’ is making waves all over the country. Fresh Vending aims to make healthy eating more accessible, convenient, and affordable by providing a nutritious alternative to the traditional vending machines that are filled with junk food. That is to say, food that is loaded with fat, preservatives, salt, processed sugar, and a host of other chemicals that are unhealthy and unsatisfying. The result is a diverse and nutritional menu that is accessible to consumers with just a push of a button.
Fresh Healthy Market is A Pioneer in the Fresh Vending Industry
At Fresh Healthy Market, we are concerned about the epidemic of obesity that is sweeping our country and the world. To help turn things around, we sell natural, organic, and healthy foods and beverages from innovative vending machines that fit right in at hospitals, corporate environments, health clubs, community organizations, schools, and other similar facilities. In fact, our in-house Products Departments works closely with Nutrition Directors to make sure that all the products placed in our machines meet and/or exceed nutritional guidelines.
We hope to put a dent in the obesity epidemic by adhering to the following two tenets:
We provide smart machines that are cheery and bright and are filled with healthy, all natural, organic, and great tasting food that is good for you and that will keep you going all day long. This is unlike traditional vending machines that offer snack and beverage options that are filled with empty calories.
The Bottom Line
Instead of the dark and depressing traditional vending machines, our smart machines provide healthy, convenient, organic, and natural meal, snack, and beverage options to consumers when they are away from home. In this way, when they are looking for a quick snack that won’t make them feel guilty and provides the horrible crash that comes from ingesting unhealthy foods, healthy foods are readily available with just a click of a button.

We’re snowed-in today. My husband drove my SUV to work. Seeing as I don’t want to go slipping and sliding all over the road in his car, we’re in for the day.
Being in for the day means I have time to make a more elaborate breakfast. I decided to try making egg muffins I pinned to my Gluten-Free Eats board. I unpacked the silicone muffin pan from the box and rounded-up Isabelle.
“I’m going to make egg muffins for breakfast. Would you like some?”
“No,” she said. “I no like egg muffins.”
“I do not like egg muffins,” I corrected.
“I DO not like egg muffins,” she parroted back.
“But you’ve never had them before. How do you know you don’t like them?”
She was holding her ground. “I do not like them.”
“Well, I’m going to make mine with vegetables, but I’ll make yours with just cheese.”
“I want cold ceweeuhl,” she declared.
“Cheerios or Golden Grahams?” I asked. Yes, I was giving up.
“Cold ceweeuhl,” she whined.
“Cheerios or Golden Grahams?” I asked again.
No response. Instead she walked away. She went to her
I sauteed mushrooms and spinach. I scrambled the eggs. I placed the silicone pan in the oven and let the magic happen.
With just 12 minutes left, Isabelle plodded into the kitchen. “I’m hungry!”
“The egg muffins are almost done. Stand back from the oven and I’ll show you what they look like.”
I opened the oven. We peered in together.
“I don’t like egg muffins. I want an Engwish muffin!”
Well, at least she went for some kind of muffin.

Add 1/2 tsp canning & pickling salt to bottom of 4 pint jars. Ladle hot salsa into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
Process filled jars for 15 minutes in hot water bath.


Cow hide, it is the hairy outer covering of the cow which is removed when slaughtered for food.
It is very popular and most Nigerians feel it’s not nutritious. It features regularly, along with other types of meats, in classic traditional dishes, and its absence in a dish, to some people, can cause “trouble”. Cowskin in itself is really tough to eat and requires an arduous process of cooking to soften/tenderize it for human consumption.
it is a by-product of processing cow for meat in the food industry and usually earmarked for processing into other things. The skin is regarded as an organ and is considered to be the largest organ in an animal due to its large surface area.

Replacing Dairy: Know Your Substitutes
Supermarket Free From sections are expanding rapidly, and while that’s great news for coeliacs, wheat-free advocates and dairy dodgers alike, it can cause some problems for new converts. The plethora of choices now available can leave many scratching their heads, and rather than wondering “What can I eat?” you might find yourself asking “Which one should I choose?”
From fruits and legumes to nuts and grains, dairy substitutes come in many different shapes and forms. One thing they do have in common, though, is the ability to provide a delicious alternative to the milk products that we’ve all grown so accustomed to.
We believe that everyone deserves plenty of options, and along with this choice, it’s also important to be well informed. That’s why we’ve created a detailed roundup of the most popular substitutes, helping you to choose the very best dairy alternative.
Soya is perhaps the most well known dairy alternative, readily available in small shops and cafes as well as larger establishments. Soya milk is made from soaking and grinding soybeans, resulting in a highly nutritious liquid. This can then be consumed as milk, whipped into cream, transformed into cheese and added to recipes as a cow’s milk substitute.
Another option is rice milk, which derives from boiled rice, rice syrup and rice starch. It can be a little trickier to find than soya milk, but well worth the hunt, especially when you discover the range of flavours available. Rice milk is a good alternative for individuals with both a dairy and soya intolerance, enjoyed for its natural sweetness and hypoallergenic properties.
If you’re a keen baker, coconut or almond milk is the best choice. The naturally nutty flavours complement cakes and other desserts, making for a much more indulgent flavour. However, coconut milk tends to be much higher in calories, so should be approached with caution if you’re on a controlled diet. Choose almond milk if you’re calorie conscious, which is still extremely tasty and easy to find in shops.
Oat milk is also a great choice, offering plenty of beneficial grains along with its low cholesterol and saturated fats. Oat milk is also packed with fibre and iron, so is perfect for people that want to improve their digestive health as well as those with anaemia. One thing to bear in mind is that oat milk isn’t suitable for gluten allergies or intolerances.
When it comes to your favourite topping for pizza, pasta and baked potatoes, soya is once again a great option. Soya cheese is rich with nutrients, containing little or no fat as well as being cholesterol free. While its taste and texture differs from regular cheese, it is nonetheless enjoyable. Made from soya milk, this cheese is available in many different flavours, though it can be difficult to get hold of in regular shops. Soya cheese is free from lactose, and therefore ideal for lactose intolerants, but some varieties involve the milk protein caseinate, so read labels carefully if you have a milk allergy.
You might be surprised to learn that nuts also offer a delicious alternative to cheese. Almonds, cashews and macadamias can all provide a base for tasty vegan cheese, which can then be added to salads and sandwiches as well as used as a dip. There are lots of recipes available for dairy free cheese, but a basic process is blitzing up the nuts with water and lemon juice, then adding garlic and salt to taste. You can also visit specialist health food shops to find readymade nut cheese.
Soya based yoghurts are one of the easiest dairy free alternatives to purchase, widely available in local shops and supermarkets. Prepared with soya milk, yoghurt bacteria and sugar, it is suitable for those with a dairy allergy and lactose intolerance, as well as vegans and vegetarians. There are plenty of flavours to choose from, including fruit, caramel and chocolate, but you could also try making your own homemade version.
Coconuts also provide a great alternative to dairy yoghurts. For those that want a quick fix and would rather not spend time heating, cooling, thickening and culturing, simply remove the solidified parts from several cans of coconut milk and mix together in a blender. This is one of the easiest methods for making coconut yoghurt, and offers all the same benefits: 100% natural, 100% dairy free, and 100% delicious.
Custard, cream and ice cream
Those with a sweet tooth will be delighted to know that there are plenty of dairy free solutions for custard, cream and ice cream. First, our good old friend the soybean, which offers a healthy base for these tasty treats. Soya custard can be found relatively easily in most good supermarkets, available in a readymade packet. But what you may not realise is that most custard powders are also dairy free, so you can whip up your own at home using your favourite dairy free milk.
Soya cream can also be bought, but it’s easy enough to make at home; simply blend soya milk with corn flour, sugar and oil, and then add vanilla to taste. You could even try making homemade soya ice cream, though this process is a little more complicated.
Coconut and nuts can also be found in dairy free cream and ice cream alternatives. Coconut cream is a real favourite, offering a more indulgent taste and texture than most dairy free options. Almonds are also ideal for whizzing up into a creamy topping, and provide so many more health benefits than typical cream.
Most people can’t resist a thick spread of butter on a wedge of freshly made bread, and fortunately there are several dairy free solutions. Soya, sunflower and olive versions can all be enjoyed, ideal for cooking, baking or simply topping a slice of toast. Traditional butter is renowned as an unhealthy food brimming with salt and saturated fat, but dairy free versions are much healthier. Take a look at our range to find out more!

The No Impact Week guidelines asked me to eat all local food today.
This is a tall order in Minnesota in April. But here are a few things I've tried this week:
- Fiddleheads from the ostrich ferns in my yard
- Sorrel pesto from the sorrel plant I started growing a few years ago
- Wild ramps from nearby in Wisconsin
Have you heard of ramps (Allium tricoccum)? They're also called wild leeks, and are very popular in Appalachia and the south. But they're native in Minnesota and Wisconsin, too. They taste similar to scallions, although a little stronger, and when cooked begin to smell a bit like garlic as well.
Yesterday, I sliced up a couple and mixed them into some local cottage cheese on an overwintered potato. Tonight I braised some, including the greens, and put them on a turkey burger.
They're only available for a brief time in the spring. I was just looking into where they grow, and it sounds like they would love my back yard. Hmmm.


- 1 cup Moong Dal
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup ghee
- ½ teaspoon Elaichi powder
Making Moong Dal Halwa is an art. If not cooked properly, to get it really perfect is a daunting task as the balance between a perfectly cooked dal and a perfectly fried halwa made from this dal is a difficult feat to perform. Especially with the use of less ghee! Most beginners simply try to use excess ghee to cover the imperfection and raw dal smell.

ONTARIO SUB-COMMITTEE HELPS BREEDERS AND FARMERS GROW HIGH QUALITY WHEAT
every good business knows that in order to be successful you need to know what your customer wants; farming is no different. It’s important for farmers to know what type of product – be it wheat, corn or soybeans – their end users want.
The sub-committee on quality of the Ontario Cereal Crops Committee (OCCC) helps breeders, and subsequently farmers, understand what end users require of Ontario wheat.
The OCCC’s role is to advise the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Variety Registration Office as to whether or not cereal varieties should be registered in Ontario. The sub-committee on quality is an important step in this recommendation process. The OCCC is also responsible for conducting the Ontario Cereal Performance Trials every year.
The sub-committee is tasked with “reviewing the quality of the new varieties of wheat that are being bred and giving breeders feedback on whether those varieties are something that the industry can use based on the quality parameters of our customers,” explains Sheilagh Arney, a representative for ADM and current chair of the sub-committee.
Many end users of Ontario wheat are represented on the sub-committee. Millers and bakers along with wheat quality experts from the University of Guelph, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the Canadian International Grains Institute sit on the sub-committee. Crosby Devitt, Manager of Research and Innovation with Grain Farmers of Ontario also sits on the committee to ensure farmers’ interests are well represented.
The sub-committee analyzes the characteristics of each wheat variety based on pre-established parameters. “We have a quality parameter set up for each of the classes and that’s what we test for in all the varieties,” says Arney.
Different classes of wheat have different quality parameters based on the end use of the flour. While flour yield and protein levels are important for all classes of wheat, says Arney, soft wheat is focused more on cookie spreads and hard wheat on bread making characteristics. These varying parameters reflect the varying end uses of Ontario wheat. Soft wheat is typically used in cookie and pastry making while hard wheat traditionally is used in bread making.
New varieties stay in the system for two years and are checked against class controls – a benchmark variety that is in commercial production and is known to meet necessary quality parameters. “There is a current, approved variety within each class that is planted in the same plots,” explains Arney.
All testing is conducted on both the new varieties and the class control to “account for weather or environmental issues,” she continues. Both the class control and the new varieties are compared to the pre-established standards and feedback is sent to the breeders on how good the varieties are from an end use perspective.
“Drawing the value chain together has opened up communication,” says Arney. Breeders have access to feedback from end-users and can therefore tailor their efforts to the needs of those who buy and use the wheat.
“Durum is a great example of discussion with industry, breeders and farmers to develop a product that already has a market,” says Arney.
Durum wheat, primarily used as a flour to make pasta is currently exclusively offered by C&M Seeds. It was developed through a partnership with Howson & Howson Mills.
Other than durum, which has relatively small acreage in Ontario, Arney sees spring wheat as the most greatly impacted by the communication between end users and breeders.
“As we move forward and gear the wheat towards what we need locally, in particular spring wheat, then wheat users in Eastern Canada would benefit from using Ontario wheat,” says Arney. “In years past, not many people used Ontario spring wheat because it didn’t have the quality to compete with wheat coming from the west. I’ve seen huge changes to the quality of Ontario wheat in the past ten years,” she concludes.
Arney is optimistic that the wheat coming from Ontario will continue to improve in quality as these lines of communication remain open. •

21 Day Fix Recipes – Easy Marinara Sauce
This is a recipe that works very well the 21 Day Fix, as well as those following a clean eating meal plan, or even vegetarian lifestyles. This is an easy and delicious go to recipe to have in your recipe box. You will never again need to purchase jarred sauce that is full of sugar and preservatives. I always make a large batch to feed an army, or to freeze some for use on one of those busy soccer nights. Cook once, use twice is one of my favorite sayings, and always a time saving move for busy moms and dads doing their best to keep an eye on their health and fitness.
Easy Marinara Sauce
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons italian seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic (smashed)
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 28 oz. Can crushed tomatoes (organic and/or Check label for no added ingredients)
- 1 6 oz. Can tomato paste (organic for best taste. Check label for no added ingredients)
A hearty and easy marinara sauce to add to your recipe arsenal. Make a large batch and freeze some for later!
|Heat olive oil in large pot.|
|Chop onion finely and smash or finely chop garlic.|
|Add to pot and sweat over low heat until translucent and fragrant, 10-15 mins. Do not let them brown. If they do you will need to start over.|
|Add italian seasoning to onion and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes.|
|Raise heat to medium low. Add tomato paste to onion and garlic mixture. Mix well and allow to caramelize for 10-15 minutes.|
|Add crushed tomatoes to pan.|
|Add bay leaf and simmer over medium low heat for 30-60 minutes.|
|Ladle over your favorite pasta and ENJOY!|
21 Day Fix APPROVED – Easy Marinara Sauce:
Use your green container to portion out this sauce when active in your 21 Day Fix rounds. If you have more than one green container left in your allotment for the day enjoy two servings! Eating your veggies was never so good!
You can use this sauce for so many things. For those following a paleo diet you can layer it over green beans with a bit of parmesan. Or pair with spaghetti squash which I love. Add your favorite meat , or meatballs (I like to use Turkey Meatballs) to your already prepared sauce for a well rounded meal. Another idea is to layer with noodles or veggies for a vegetarian lasagne. The possibilities really are endless.
This recipe is definitely a keeper ,whether you are on the 21 Day Fix or not.

Our farm commits to the following practices to keep us all safe and well. Washing hands and disinfecting surfaces every time we return to the farm and before touching any food or any equipment which touches food. Keeping at least 6' distances both on and off the farm.
Welcome to Lettuce Farm
Our family farm is located in Warren Oregon, just northwest of Scappoose. We got tired of eating boring iceberg lettuce, so we started growing specialty salad greens. We use low impact and organic practices to grow seasonal veggies like tomatoes, squash, and radishes.
We are not certified organic, but our No Spray / No Synthetic Fertilizer method of growing goes above the organic standards. We felt there were too many loop holes in the organic standards. So instead of looking good on paper we thought that investing our time into your produce would be better spent.

Whether you have a love for sweet dishes or traditional curries, there is something to spoil everyone. You will get to treat your taste buds while you visit the places of tourist interest and create some memories which you can cherish for years to come.
Plan A Trip To Kolkata And Get To Enjoy The Delicious Dishes Stated Below
- Macher Jhol
- Kosha Mangsho
The fish curry is a traditional culinary delight you should definitely try during your trip to Kolkata, especially if you are a seafood lover. Visit any restaurant offering Bengali food items and get to relish a plate of rice and fish at a very nominal price. The curry is generally a bit spicy as they are seasoned using garlic, grated ginger, turmeric and onion. Potatoes and tomatoes are also used while the dish is being prepared.
If you have recently opted for Sikkim Darjeeling Tour Packages and fallen in love with the Biriyani there, the one served in Kolkata will always be a heart winner. The aroma is indeed quite captivating and the juicy pieces of mutton and chicken taste the best when served hot. The rice is perfectly cooked before seasoning it with strands of saffron and rose water. The aloo (potato) in the biriyani is what sets it apart.
If you have a liking for mutton, just get in touch with the best tour operator in Kolkata and ask them to suggest a renowned place where you can relish a plate of Kosha Mangsho or Mutton Curry. Though mutton is the main ingredient, vegetables like onions and tomatoes are also used before topping it with various spices. The dense brown colour makes the dish look more appealing and delicious.
Tourists looking for a Bengali vegetarian dish which is a part of their traditional cuisine should definitely try Shukto. Few vegetables you can expect in the dish are bottle gourd, bitter gourd, pumpkin and potato, among others. What makes this dish unique is that it is partly sweet and partly bitter and taste best when served with the traditional flat bread or rice. Even tour operators feel that trying Shukto during your trip to Kolkata is as important as trying out momo if you are undertaking North Sikkim Tour Packages.
Jhalmuri is not just another famous street food in Kolkata but one of the snacks you can relish while travelling around the streets of this beautiful city. Muri or puffed rice is used as the main ingredient and mixed with coriander, peanuts and others spice so that you can fulfil your appetite quickly. Since you are now aware of the delicious items you can enjoy during your trip to Kolkata, it's time you start looking for a reliable tour operator who can plan a perfect trip itinerary for you.


For Halloween, I'm giving you the recipe:
For a speedier, pantry-based version, you can make this with canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling tho), but come on, bake a pumpkin!
4 cups fresh (see below) or canned pumpkin, or substitute/combine winter squashes like butternut, kabocha, etc.
4 cups vegetable
1 15oz can whole peeled tomatoes
1 tbsp maple syrup, or subsitute
honeyor molasses [This post has been modified because I have since gone vegan.]
1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, canned (optional, but really recommened; they don't make the soup too spicy, just provide a nice slight heat and smoky background for the sweet pumpkin)
See notes below for more options/subsitutions.
To Bake the Pumpkin:
Split a medium to small cooking pumpkin (not the big carving ones, which aren't all that flavorful) and scoop out the seeds. (Save those to roast.) No need to peel it, just cut it into 3x3 chunks and spread in a single layer in 1-2 lightly oiled baking dishes. Optional: add a couple of cloves of peeled garlic. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika and toss to distribute. Cover with foil, then bake for 30-45 minutes at 400 (until the flesh is soft and easily pierced with a fork). Uncover and bake 10 more minutes, until pieces brown a bit. Remove from oven and set aside until cool enough to handle. You'll want to peel the pieces (really easy now, just scrape with a spoon) before you proceed.
Depending on the size of your pumpkin, you will have 4-8 cups of cooked chunks. If your pumpkin is huge, the recipe below is easily doubled and freezes well. Or, you can just mash and enjoy the leftovers as a side dish.
You can also substitue hard winter squashes like kabocha or butternut, or use a combination. (I used a pumpkin and a hard green squash with orange flesh, whose name I didn't catch!)
To Make the Soup:
For every 4 cups of pumpkin, you'll need 4 cups vegetable
or chickenstock and 1 can of whole peeled tomatoes (15 oz).
Put peeled chunks into a large bowl if you have an immersion/stick blender. (I recommend this way, easiest and less cleanup.) Or into the food processor. Add tomatoes and their juice. Add stock. Puree.
Check for seasoning. Then add 1 tbsp of maple syrup (for every 4 cups of pumpkin) and salt and pepper if needed. Optional but highly recommended: add 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. (I am a Texan, so I added four plus all the sauce in the can to my 8-cups-pumpkin batch.) Puree and check for seasonings again.
Mixture should be smooth and thinner than mashed potatoes, but not runny. It can be thinned further with stock if necessary, but will also be more fluid when it's reheated. (It's meant to be a substantial texture.)
Other options: if you don't have chipotles on hand (um, why not? food of the gods!) but would still like some spiciness in your soup, try a couple of tsps of chile powder (which vary wildly, taste yours first and add to taste) plus a dash of cayenne and 1-3 tbsp of a good smoky barbecue sauce. You may even want to skip the maple syrup if your bbq sauce is a sweeter one.
That's it, OK? You can garnish this with a dollop of [insert]Better Than Sour Cream[/insert]
or even some crumbled goat cheeseif you wanna get fancy, but it doesn't really need anything. Julienned spinach or chopped parsley would be good on top if you want some green.
Reheat gently, adding more stock to thin if necessary.
*This is my own adaptation of a recipe called "Pumpkin-Tomato Bisque" (despite it containing no cream or milk) from Crescent Dragonwagon's (yes, that's her real name) Passionate Vegetarian, which is a excellent book and is widely available. You should get it, whether or not you are a vegetarian.

What you are reading is right, your beloved maggi is not good for your and your loved ones health. We will tell you 5 reasons not to eat maggi as it is harmful for health.
1. Does Not Have Any Nutrition.
Maggi does not have any nutrients in it. It does not have any vitamin,minerals etc.It only have carbohydrates and give some amount of energy. If you skip your meal for maggi then this definitely gonna hurt your health . This is a small reason not to eat maggi.
2. Too Much Of Sodium
Maggi contains too much of sodium i.e. salt in it which is very harmful for persons having high blood pressure. It raises your Blood pressure to a very extent.
3. Contains Maida
Maida also known as white poison is the key ingredient of maggi. It is very harmful for our digestive system. It creates a type of blockage in your intestines and causes digestive problems.
4. Makes You Fat
Maggi makes you obese. It contains a very excess amount of carbohydrates(Fat).Maggi noodles are however highly calorific, and contain an obscene amount of fat. For 100 grams which is a bit more than a small Maggi packet(85 grams) there is 407calories. So if you eat one packet of Maggi then you are eating about 345 calories. There is a whopping 14.4grams of fat,which amount to make you fat. This is the biggest reason not to eat maggi.
5. Contains Harmful Preservatives
Thats true. To keep our maggi intact for long time,too much of preservatives, emulsifiers and so called added nutrients are added to it Therefore making it more bad for our health.It was found that monosodium glutamate(MSG) was present in it. This was the main reason for Banning Maggi In India.
So we Can Conclude that maggi is nothing but a modern day slow poison.

Food Standards Committee (FSC) jointly organises this workshop with NYP and DSM on 16 Nov 2017 where participants learned about product conceptualisation and development via lecture and mock-up session. The first step in the development of food product that qualifies for approved nutrition or health claims is the conceptualisation of product design from product ideas. It is important to understand the needs of the consumer market the product will be designed for and the potential price point the market will pay. Next, it is to move the concept towards a viable prototype where considerations are needed on ingredients and regulatory requirements. The workshop attracted 45 participants from 27 organisations.


mornings can go two ways for me and there’s only one factor that makes the decision:
the only thing is, houston’s hot pretty much all the time. therefore, it’s imperative that only iced coffee touch my lips. my delicate southern countenance can’t handle the added heat. unfortunately this has led me to a $2 a day starbucks habit.
what to do? oh, of course, the nyt has the answer.
all it takes is some coffee, water, a jar, and a filter. so easy!
here’s the recipe (also linked above) from the nyt, and slightly modified by yours truly:
New York Times Iced Coffee:
Time: 5 minutes, plus 12 hours’ resting
1/3 cup ground coffee (medium-coarse grind is best)
Milk (definitely NOT optional).
1. In a jar, stir together coffee and 1 1/2 cups water (i used filtered water). Cover and let rest at room temperature overnight or 12 hours.
2. Strain twice through a coffee filter, a fine-mesh sieve or a sieve lined with cheesecloth. In a tall glass filled with ice, mix equal parts coffee concentrate and water, or to taste. If
desired normal, add milk (and splenda or sugar).
my life will never be the same.

Classroom Snack Safety Reminder
****IMPORTANT SNACK SAFETY REMINDER****
Dear Staff, Parents and Students,
As classroom parties are being planned, may we please remind parents and staff-there are students throughout all grade levels with LIFE-THREATENING allergies to nuts. We are appealing for your assistance in maintaining their safety in school.
Classrooms are nut-safe areas, no nuts or nut products may be eaten there. However, ANY food may be eaten in the cafeteria, since there are allergy-safe tables there. ****For snacks that are intended for sharing with the entire class, please ONLY send foods WITH labels that can be checked for safety. Items without labels, whether baked goods or donuts, will be set aside in the classroom. They may be given out by the 'party student' at the door, as students are on their way to lunch or to carry home.
If you are “going green” at home, you may send in smaller portions of nut-free food, for your child only, in reusable containers, and keep the larger quantity at home, again-no nuts or nut products, please. However, for food to be shared with all classmates, please only send in labeled food items.
Parents often call to inquire about classroom snacks, so the list below is provided as a helpful reference. We do not endorse these items, nor the companies that manufacture them. Rather, we hope you will consider “Healthy Food” snacks and parties during the year, with natural alternatives such as fresh fruit, dried fruit, vegetables, yogurt, and cheese.
***Please remember the Healthy Party Treats from Chartwells are available from our own Chartwells cafeteria manager-Mrs. Joyce Baumbach. The flyer with the prices and selections is posted on the SFE E Friday Folder. If you have quiesitons on this, please feel welcome to call Mrs. Baumbach, cafeteria manager, directly at 215 944 2411. What could be easier than making a call and writing a check!!

If you are not able to let go of summer season and all its refreshing iced espresso concoctions, however really feel the light tug of fall in your cardigan sleeve, I’ve acquired the proper early autumn beverage that will not trigger you to interrupt right into a sweat.
Pumpkin chilly foam iced espresso is the creamy and spiced ice beverage I communicate of. It might be discovered at Starbucks, but it surely’s not terribly troublesome to make at residence. And when you make the froth — the one mildly time-consuming half — you’ll be able to hold it within the fridge to make extra of all of them week.
The two elements you would possibly have bother discovering areand . But as we roll via September and into pie season, most shops must be stocking up on each.
What’s in a pumpkin cream chilly foam drink?
This foamy, fall espresso drink begins withor iced espresso, which is topped with a wholesome heaping of a candy pumpkin whipped cream made out of pumpkin puree, condensed milk, pumpkin pie spice and heavy cream. Once it is atop the espresso you’ll be able to let the creamy foam drip down into the espresso slowly (and superbly) or shake all of it in a cocktail shaker or combine with a spoon to include.
So now you are in all probability questioning tips on how to make this fluffy iced espresso. Most of the recipes I discovered have been on the candy aspect, however you’ll be able to simply lower down on the sugar through the use of much less condensed milk or an unsweetened model. I fine-tuned a preferred recipe for this slightly-less-sweet-but-still-plenty-sweet model of Starbucks’ pumpkin chilly foam iced espresso. It’s pretty much as good because it seems and an ideal 3 p.m. pick-me-up with somewhat September smack to it.
One other thing to like in regards to the pumpkin chilly foam: While there’s some sugar, there aren’t any synthetic elements and the bottom of the flavour comes from actual pumpkin and fall-friendly spices. You may additionally change the whipped cream for nut-based dairy creamer however know that you simply will not get a correct, fluffy whipped cream topping in case you do.
Ingredients for pumpkin cream chilly foam iced espresso
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1. For the pumpkin foam, whisk collectively the whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Add within the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice and whisk till easy. Place within the fridge till prepared to make use of.
2. Build a chilly brew or iced espresso in a glass with ice however depart half of an inch on the high for foam.
3. Whip a few half a cup of the froth combination in aor in a bowl with a milk frother till mild and ethereal.
4. Scoop pumpkin foam atop your iced espresso or chilly brew and sprinkle some remaining pumpkin spice on high
5. Wave howdy to fall and revel in.
So what is the verdict on pumpkin cream chilly foam iced espresso?
I’m not often too hyped on baking spices discovering their method into nonbaked items, however I actually appreciated this. I lower down on the sweetened milk and went simple on the pumpkin pie spice, which allowed the precise pumpkin puree to shine via within the foam. I discovered myself sneaking tiny spoonfuls of the froth out of the bowl within the fridge even after my espresso was gone. I think about it could go nice over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. In truth, I could have to choose some up later as we speak and discover out.


If you’re like me and prefer your drinks à la Andre 3000 (that is, cooler than being cool: ice cold), I have an important question to ask: When’s the last time you thoroughly cleaned out your ice cube trays?
Again, if you’re like me, you might think that a quick rinse before refilling and freezing will suffice. But according to Trevor Craig, a food safety expert and the corporate director of technical training and consulting at Microbac Laboratories, neglecting a standard scrub in between uses can be risky.
Why it’s crucial to wash your ice cube tray after each use
You’re (hopefully) already used to washing your dishes, cups, utensils, and the like immediately after using them. According to Craig, we should apply the same hygienic standards to our ice cube trays. “In general, they should be cleaned like you would any other kitchen item: with hot soapy water, then rinsed well,” he explains.
While Craig notes that the risk for contamination is relatively low, the risk is still present. “It’s a good idea to wash them because you just don’t know what could have happened or if they have been contaminated,” he continues. “Why risk it if it’s pretty easy to clean them before refilling them?”
Ice cube trays may not be inherently more likely to breed bacteria than other kitchen tools. However, since many of us (I’m sure it’s not just me… right?) probably don’t wash them regularly, the risk can escalate since they’re simply not so fresh and so clean. (Off topic: I hope at least a few readers will appreciate the conveniently appropriate Outkast references thus far.) After all, Craig reminds us that freezing isn’t really a kill step. “It may kill some bacteria by lysis due to expanding water, but many bacteria survive cold storage and can continue to grow, although slowly,” he shares.
Craig mentions this is a key reason why frozen foods like ice cream are often associated with salmonella, listeria, and mono recalls. “The freezing process doesn’t kill the bacteria,” he reiterates. “As soon as it gets back into conditions that support growth, that bacteria can come back and cause illness.” Bacteria aside, research shows that ice cubes also have the potential to harbor opportunistic pathogens—including yeast and mold—that remain viable as you sip on your chilled bev of choice.
“[Freezing perishable items] may kill some bacteria by lysis due to expanding water, but many bacteria survive cold storage and can continue to grow, although slowly.”
Moreover, filling your ice cube trays with something beyond H2O—like coffee to prevent watery cold brew, or fruit and herbs mixed into water to make fancy ice—heightens the chances of breeding bacteria. “Adding anything to water is likely to increase the risk of bacteria being introduced, and nutrients into that mix to support the growth of bacteria,” Craig cautions. Again the risk is low but still there. “Keep that in mind with anything you add or make a liquid out of,” he continues. “It will have all the bacteria risks as before but probably just slowed.” This includes the likes of frozen broths and soups, especially if they were refrigerated or left to sit at room temperature for a few days, instead of freezing them immediately.
3 safety tips for ice cube storage
To ensure that your ice cubes are as safe as possible for consumption, heed Craig’s parting tips.
1. Wash them (and your hands) before refilling
Remember: Give ice cube trays a good scrub with hot soapy water, rinse them well, and let them dry completely putting them back to use. While you’re at it, fill your trays only after washing your hands to avoid potential contamination from the inevitable shaky transfer to the freezer.
2. Store your ice cube trays on the top shelf of your freezer
In case you store your trays wherever you can find room in your freezer, Craig advises making a dedicated space for them higher up. “A good rule that I use in my freezer is to put my ice cube trays near the top so they are less likely to be contaminated by anything that could drip,” he shares. “There’s a lot of food that you buy from the grocery store that is naturally going to be contaminated with dangerous bacteria that might go into your freezer. Meat is a good example and potentially could drip into other foods or trays and contaminate them.” Hard pass, TYVM.
On this point, it’s also a good idea to leave enough buffer room between your ice cube trays and any other items to limit contact and thus potential contamination.
3. Clean out your ice storage container
If your freezer has a built-in ice maker, the same standards for cleaning apply. “As for the [containers] that are auto-filled and dumped by the fridge themselves, they should be in a different section of your fridge and are less likely to be exposed,” Craig notes. At any rate, “They usually can be removed and cleaned.”

Country Cook News is a pastime that brings tremendous pleasure to many and can also provide sustenance to you and your loved ones. Learning as much as possible about cooking is a great way to get the most out of the effort you put into the process. Apply a few of the tips in the article that follows, and you will be creating memorable culinary delights in no time.
Understand that the smaller the item, the higher temperature that you are going to need to cook at. This will help to maximize the way that your food tastes during the meal. Cook your smaller foods at very high temperatures and larger foods at lower temperatures for the best results.
As you cook your meal during the course of the night, make sure that you taste it at several different points. This will allow you to pinpoint exactly when it is done, so that you do not run the risk of overcooking it. Tasting your food is important to achieve the quality you desire.
Your cake can be ruined if the baking powder is too old. In most cases, you don’t remember when you bought the box you have just found in the cupboard. Don’t gamble with it, test it. Put one tablespoon of baking powder in one third cup of water. If it fizzes, it’s good to use. If not, throw it away and buy a new box because what you have is too old.
Whenever you are cooking and you feel the need to add more oil, the best way to add oil is to add it through the side of the pan. By doing this, the oil will be heated when it gets to the ingredient that is being cooked. This is a good tip to remember.
Let roasts rest before carving to allow the juices time to retract from the surface of the meat. Slicing beef, pork, poultry or lamb immediately after roasting lets most of the juice run out of the meat which makes it drier and less flavorful. Giving the meat time to rest prevents the loss of the juices.
You want to cook healthier meals, and one place to consider with regard to changing your menus is in sauces and dressings. Rich, creamy dressings and sauces tend to be extremely unhealthy. You do not need to eliminate these meal-toppers entirely; simply learn how to make lighter, healthier alternatives. Healthier sauces and dressings can go a long way towards making your entire diet healthier.
Always continue to taste test all of your food as you cook them. Cooking a sauce, and you’re not sure if it needs more salt? Just taste it and you’ll know right away. Getting into a habit of testing all of your foods will keep you from accidentally over-spicing or under-spicing it.
When you are going to fry a food, use long tongs to add food to the oil. For about five seconds, hold the food just underneath the surface of the oil and release it. By placing a food into oil this way, the exterior of the food will be sealed and it will not likely stick to the pan.
You should use applesauce when baking if you want to cut back on the amount of calories the baked good contains. The applesauce will not change the texture or flavor of the baked good. It will cut back on the number of calories that are in the baked good. It will also add fiber to the food.
When you are purchasing ingredients to make something read your labels. Most cooking supplies have hidden ingredients that could be unhealthy. Do not buy anything that contains a lot of sodium, sugars or fats.
Whenever possible, you should buy your food from the farmers market rather than a normal grocery store or supermarket. Food from the farmers market is fresh and sometimes requires less maintenance to bring out flavors rather than normal food. Remember to keep it simple when cooking with food from the farmers market.
There are few hobbies as satisfying and rewarding as cooking. Not only can you flex your creative muscles, you can also provide delicious meals for your family. Expanding your knowledge of cooking is certain to enhance your time in the kitchen. Taking these tips and hints to heart is a wonderful way to do just that.


"Breathe properly. Stay curious. And eat your beets."
(How one achieves immortality according to Alobar, the main character in Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins).
Long valued as blood tonic, it's easy to see how one would make the connection between beets and longevity given the vegetable's impressive nutrient content: calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, iron, carotene, B complex (lots of folate), and vitamin C. And the tops contain the same nutrients as the root but are also exceptionally rich in both vitamin K and carotenoids, specifically lutein which is important for eye health.
We've been buying several bunches of beets at the farmer's market whenever we see them and putting them to good use—grating into salads, roasting them for a pizza topping, and fermenting them into kvass. The other evening we roasted a few on the grill and they were pretty darn good.
So, with the beets all eaten and a fridge full of greens, now is the time to make beet green fritters.
Savory, crispy, and slightly chewy on the inside, these pan-fried fritters are a delicious way to get your daily dose of Vitamin K (or use up any greens that may be slightly past their prime.) They are great the first day and maybe even better when reheated in a toaster oven the next day! This recipe makes about 10-15 fritters.
Beet Green Fritters
1lb beet greens
1/3 cup stiff sourdough starter
1 large spring onion with tops, chopped
1/4 cup shredded parmesan
2 tbs. pesto or chimichurri or chopped herbs
2 tbs. nutritional yeast
2 cloves garlic, chopped
salt and pepper
lard, bacon grease, or olive oil (for pan-frying)
Notes: This recipe is flexible, use whatever you have on hand! Swiss chard, turnip greens, kale - any dark, leafy greens will do. Sub red onion or shallots for the spring onion. Add more herbs! Try using feta instead of parmesan! If you don't have any stiff sourdough starter you can sub coconut flour or regular, all-purpose flour - start with 1/4 cup and add more if necessary.
Blanch the greens in a large pot of salted, boiling water for a couple minutes. Drain in a colander and cool with cold water then squeeze out as much liquid as you can—otherwise the mixture can get too runny. Roughly chop greens and set aside.
Blend eggs and sourdough starter together until smooth. Pour the batter into a mixing bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients. If the mixture is too runny, add a tablespoon of all-purpose flour to thicken it up.
Heat the lard in a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of the mixture into the pan for each fritter, flattening them down with a spatula. Pan fry until golden and crispy—about 1-3 minutes per side.
We served ours with a fried egg, sour cream, a side of lacto-fermented cauliflower, and a glass of beet kvass.
We also baked two nice-looking loaves of sourdough bread today, but I'll save that recipe for another day.


fall list and went apple picking. We came home with more than 60 pounds of apples! So, how to keep them fresh? Thankfully, many years ago, a cashier at the County Line Orchard, where we always go, told me how to keep apples fresh for weeks:
People often ask what we do with all the apples - nothing really, we eat them! Most of the apples we pick tend to be smaller than the ones you get at the grocery store, and they are therefore perfect for the kids' school lunches. So for the next two months we don't have to worry about the fruit serving in the brown bag.
