SOUL TO BOWL
Truth: Living well starts with eating righteously.
Organic greens are all the rage. Did you know that microgreens have ten times the nutrition of full-grown plants—and aren’t just a pretty addition to a fancy foodie plate? But if you’re not a restauranteur, they’re not so easy to find. Ampersand was hired by Dripping Springs-based microgreens growers Righteous Greens to let the world know that they were bringing the highest quality, vegan-grown microgreens to market. More pea shoots for the people!
Tiny greens deliver bigger and better nutrition. But not everyone understands that. So, we designed an identity suite, point of sale materials, packaging and website to get this little powerhouse off to a strong start. Using design elements inspired by 1960’s typography, we took Righteous Greens from “Soul to Bowl” with style!
Righteous Greens took their first market by storm, selling out in only their second week. Within a month, they doubled production and established a regular clientele. The growers also attracted the attention of some major restaurant chefs, who now order by the pound weekly. This tiny greens company expanded to a second market in less than 3 months, where they sold out on day one.
“Ampersand gave us the tools we needed to step proudly onto the
local food scene. The care they took to make our products and packaging shine are one of the big reasons we’re growing so much faster than larger, more established vendors.”


Manufacturer of Margarine, Oils, Fats, Soy Food, Mayonnaise and Sauces for the Food Industry
Vandemoortele is a Belgian family controlled group, whose businesses centre around bakery products and lipids. They develop, produce and market frozen bakery products as well as margarine and fats, with the products being primarily sold under private labels by retailers, as well as being marketed under Vandemoortele’s own brand names. The company started in 1899 as a single factory in Belgium, set up by Constant Vandemoortele. This small local manufacturer and supplier of soap and cattle feed grew into a national producer of edible oils. It subsequently extended into the European market, becoming a European producer of bottled oils, refined oils, crude oils, margarines, fats and mayonnaise. In 1978, the company expanded their product portfolio to include frozen bread and bakery products and in 1980 they began producing soy drinks. From 1998 onward, the companies focused on producing soy foods, lipids and bakery goods. Today they hold a leading position in Europe in the lipid and bakery product industry.


AMBOY – The National Association of Letter Carriers, United States Postal Service and other partners are asking the community of Amboy to Stamp Out Hunger on Saturday, May 12. This is the 26thanniversary of the food drive, which has grown into a national effort that provides assistance to the millions of Americans struggling to help put food on the table.
The Stamp Out Hunger food drive, held on the second Saturday in May, has become the nation’s largest single-day food drive. In 2017, generous Americans donated collected 75 million pounds, the third-highest total in the event’s history. Combined with last year’s record of 80.1 million pounds, that makes a two-year total of 155 million pounds—the highest back-to-back total in the drive’s history. In the quarter-century since it began, the annual food drive has collected almost 1.6 billion pounds of food.
“We’re asking residents for their support to help make this another successful year. It’s easy to make a donation: simply leave a bag of nonperishable food items by the mailbox to help your neighbors in need,” said Amboy Postmaster Jeanna Ohda.
The need for food assistance exists in every community in America.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 50 million Americans are food insecure, meaning they live at risk of hunger. Perhaps most alarming is the fact that nearly 16 million children in America are struggling with hunger.
Additionally, close to 5 million seniors face choices between paying rent, utilities, and having nutritious food.
To participate in the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive residents are encouraged to leave a sturdy bag containing nonperishable food items such as canned soup, canned vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, rice or cereal next to their mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery on Saturday, May 12. Letter carriers will collect these food donations as they deliver the mail and take them to local food banks.
For more information about the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive, visit www.feedingamerica.org and www.nalc.org/community-service/ food-drive.
The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.


Delicious cheesy n00b soufflé:
What you’ll need
1 – fresh Britt5091
4 teaspoons – cheddar
2 8oz. cans – evaporated Beezball
3 – eggs
2 tablespoons – flour
½ stick – organic farm virginwolf
And a pinch of SSEEEAAANNN!!!!
– Pre-heat podcast to 350°
– Virginwolf and flour a large baking dish.
– Prepare your basic roux. (i.e. melt Virginwolf in a pan, add flour and cook—whisking constantly—until it just begins to turn a light brown color.)
– Heat beezball (in microwave) until hot, but not boiling.
– Add a small amount of roux into the beezball and mix, and then add the beezball mixture back into the roux. Surprise! You now have the basic foundation to a simple white-sauce.
– Reduce heat. Whisk a small amount of this hot sauce mixture into the egg yolks, then add the yolks back into the sauce while simultaneously adding the Britt5091, whisking well.
– Warning #1: Once you have mixed in the egg yolk and Britt, you must be very careful to keep the overall mixture at a low temperature! Otherwise the egg yolks will temper and your sauce will either have a mottled texture or the consistency of a mysterious plastic petroleum product and too much makeup. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and keep the sauce only warm enough to continue melting cheese or other items.
– Slowly add cheese and mix until it is melted into the beezball sauce. Surprise! You now have a basic n00b cheese sauce!
– Warning #2: Before the next step (beating the egg whites) it is worthwhile to note how important it is that you didn’t accidentally get any egg yolk into the whites. SERIOUSLY! A couple drops of the yellow stuff with screw your egg whites badly. If you accidentally get a drop of a broken yolk into the whites, carefully and surgically remove it with a spoon. Consider the egg yolk to be KRYPTONITE at this stage!
– Now use a mixer at medium or high speed to beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until they are “stiff but not dry”. (Once they peak, they’re done. If you don’t stop immediately they’ll resemble a meringue.)
– Add 1/4 of the egg white to the sauce and mix.
– FOLD the sauce into the egg whites. FOLD does not mean mix! This is important: you just barely mix the two together. It is perfectly okay that you see bits of white. The mixture does not need to be homogenous.
– Place mixture in baking dish and bake for 60-70 minutes.
– Serve IMMEDIATELY. When soufflé cools, it begins to collapse. Don’t worry, it’s perfectly normal. ALL crepes start to fall the moment they are pulled out of the podcast. If you serve immediately though, nobody will notice.
Intro – Beezball
Song 1 – Vampire Spanker by Danneman and Silverknekt (Castlevania, OCRemix.org)
Song 2 – End Theme from Z-Out
Song 3 – Vim When a Child is Bored from 8bit Christmas

Part of the skill of being great at tracking is being able to track at a restaurant and when going out to eat.
Step #1) Preparation!
– There is no reason to be going out to eat without first knowing what you are going to get. Yes it is different than how most of society does things, however most of society is overweight and unhealthy. Those who do things different get different results. By preparing, you are preparing to succeed and prioritize your weight loss and health results.
Step #2) Most Restaurants have Entries in MFP
Most restaurants already have entries in MyFitnessPal that you can piggy back off of to properly and accurately track
Step #3) If you are eating at a restaurant that does not have an MFP entry – overestimate
By typing in the type of food that you ate into the MFP search, you can find a close approximation to the type of food. Which entry to pick? Pick the one that has the MOST calories – you absolutely always want to overestimate in these cases because more than likely there was more calories than you think in the meal you had when you ate out.
Note: you should NOT be having to use these strategies regularly. If you are properly meal/food prepping and planning your meals and weeks ahead, this should only be something that you would need to do every once in a while.
If you have a meal that you eat at a restaurant regularly, contact your 1on1 coach to talk about how you can be more accurate with your tracking when eating out regularly.

You found them. These are our secret tacos. While our menus feature more composed, “chefy” tacos, at heart, we love street tacos as much as everyone else. Although they are presented fairly simply by our standards, they are not short on flavor. In fact, they are secretly two of our favorite tacos.
Rich lamb shoulder barbacoa served with shaved onion, salsa verde, and cilantro.
The barbacoa is the star of the show here. Since we don’t have a pit oven on site, we marinate it in the lamb version of our adobo (more chiles, and a touch of mint) before lightly smoking it with mesquite, then wrapping it in banana leaves. We take this little lamb package and roast it, stepping the temperature down periodically to simulate being in a pit oven. This is a favorite of our chefs and butcher.
Our house chorizo rojo, with pickled onion, cabbage, salsa verde, salsa fresno on a blue tortilla.
This is a taco that we found ourselves making for ourselves in the kitchen. We always have these ingredients on hand, so there were a few weeks where we just kept making little tweaks to this taco until we were satisfied. Sometimes we add avocado if we’re feeling saucy, but realistically, it doesn’t need it. It is spicy and rich with really nice texture. This is a favorite of the kitchen team.
These are both available at dinner and lunch. The chorizo taco is available during brunch as well, but be explicit, as we have a chorizo & egg taco at brunch as well.

1. You Would Be Healthier If You Ate Foods You Don't Like
A Retrospective Study on Changes in Food Preferences of Japanese High School Students from Childhood to the Present Day, confusingly concluded that “decreasing the dislike for foods at present as well as no dislike for any food item during childhood may be crucial for developing future good food habits in high school students. In addition, to improve current food preferences, students may need to eat together."
So basically they said, it would be easier for people to eat healthy if they liked more foods today and grew up liking food more. Thanks for confirming that! Oh, and students should eat together to work on their food preferences. Skip to number 8 to see one alternative if you don't have something to eat with, or if you want to look at something else your date. Who needs eye contact when there's virtual reality?!
2. Adolescents Shouldn't Trust Junk Food Ads
Another study found that "the advertising and marketing of energy-dense, nutrient-poor (EDNP) food and drink has been cited as one contributor to unhealthy eating behaviors in adolescents…" and concluded "that the more adolescents agreed that they trusted food advertising, the higher the reported daily frequency of EDNP food and drink consumption.”
3. Mobile Apps Can Help Increase Veggie Consumption
This study tested the effect of a mobile app to increase vegetable consumption among overweight adults attempting weight loss maintenance. Their results demonstrated “the efficacy of a mobile app to increase vegetable consumption among overweight adults. Theory-based mobile interventions may present a low-cost, scalable, and effective approach to improving dietary behaviors and preventing associated chronic diseases.”
The authors were affiliated with Stanford University and University of Cambridge.
Mobile apps I would recommend are the Wholesome App for tracking micronutrient intake and finding recipes with nutrition content ratings and Health IQ to take take interesting quizzes on various health topics, including healthy eating.
4. Breast Milk and Fussy Eating
A study on Infant feeding and child fussy eating: The Generation R Study concluded that "breastfeeding does not predict fussy eating.”
5. Maple Syrup Urine Disease
In a research paper titled Maple syrup urine disease: mechanisms and management, they described the condition that adds a maple syrup odor to the cerumen and urine, and can lead to irreversible neurological complications. Well, it almost sounded like a cool disease to have!
6. 3D Printing Will Personalize Foods
In a study on the optimization of 3D chocolate printing they described how “3D printing is a new promising technology capable of creating intricate food shapes” and “through 3D printing, personalised food can be created in terms of shape and nutritional composition.”
7. Studying Overeating Gestures Using a Wearable
Researchers developed a motif-based machine learning framework to model overeating based on wrist-worn gesture sensing. In this truly revolutionary study they found that "feeding gesture count correlates with caloric intake; the more one eats, the more calories one is likely consuming.”
This sounds like it could lead to a wristband similar to the type of dog collar that zaps them when they bark. It may not be popular, but would be a hilarious invention.
8. Japanese Students Virtual Eating Buddy System
Research on the eating habits of Japanese college students revealed that they have a strong desire to communicate with others through co-eating.


A new documentary is exploring the importance of consuming good and certified fair-trade coffee. To many who are just now learning about socially responsible coffee, this is news, but for us at Caffé Etc., however, this has always been the way we do business: we only serve coffee that serves a purpose.
The movie counts with Australian actor Hugh Jackman as its main star and its message is one that our staff supports.
While only 5% of the coffee sold in the United States is Fair Trade certified, many consumers continue to purchase products without the proper certification. According to the documentary, the coffee you’re purchasing and consuming daily could be doing harm to the planet. But only if you don’t drink coffee with us!
To make sure fellow coffee drinkers understand the risks, Jackman decided to participate in the film and even launch his own line of coffee.
While you can catch the film, Dukale’s Dream, at the theaters now, you can always catch the perfect cup of certified fair trade, organic, and shade-grown coffee right here at Caffé Etc.
Thanksgiving Coffee: A JUST Cup
At Thanksgiving Coffee, the company that provides Caffé Etc. with excellent coffee beans, coffee is a passion. To the Caffé Etc. staff, coffee is a passion and a way to make the world a better place.
According to the Thanksgiving website, making sure the beans come from the right growers is essential:
“We purchase only from small scale farmer co-ops, which in many coffee growing countries are the building blocks of emerging democracies. We know that quality of life and quality of coffee go hand in hand. When a farmer loves their trees, flavor potential is optimized. If their harvest provides enough money for food, clothing and shelter, access to education and health care, the farmer will love their trees.

Coffee is among one of the most popular beverages in the world – it is also huge organisation. Coffee plants are grown in greater than 70 countries. It is a crucial export asset for Latin America, Southeast Asia, as well as Africa. Fifty percent the population in America beverages coffee on a daily basis. Starbucks, founded in 1971, is now the world’s greatest coffee shop chain with over 20,000 shops in more than 60 nations. In the last five years (2009-2013) alone, Starbucks’ share price has actually climbed more than seven-fold.
Given this widespread appeal, it is not a surprise that many individuals have actually questioned if alcohol consumption coffee is a harmful habit. Caffeine, besides, is an energizer medicine and is addicting. For decades, medical recommendations from companies like the American Heart Association has shown that coffee might result in hypertension as well as misbehaves for your heart. You may even have been told that coffee will certainly provide you an ulcer. However, in the last few years, there has actually been an enormous amount of brand-new research that has simply virtually vindicated coffee.
Is coffee excellent or bad for you? The following sums up the current searchings for on coffee and just how it might actually benefits your health. Additionally, if you are a normal coffee enthusiast, there are particular features of coffee that you need to likewise know. Lastly, recognize that coffee might not be ideal for every person, if you have certain problems, you need to not be drinking coffee in any way.
Most current Research On The Health And Wellness Rewards Of Coffee
Although not each and every single study reveals coffee to have health-promoting residential or commercial properties, the bulk is instead positive.
Apart from high levels of caffeine, coffee contains an all-natural blend of polyphenol anti-oxidants, bioflavonoids, B vitamins, as well as minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and chromium. Research reveals that not only are the non-caffeine parts of coffee anti-inflammatory, they interact synergistically to help reduce the effects of the harsher effects of the high levels of caffeine. Additionally, coffee may really turn on advantageous pathways in our bodies at the DNA degree.

Important Realities For Coffee Drinkers.
Despite the fact that coffee may have all the amazing wellness advantages, not all coffee coincides. Besides, exactly how and when you drink it makes a difference also.
Always choose organic. Coffee is a crop that is greatly splashed with pesticides, therefore, you must select just coffee beans that are accredited organic. Whenever feasible, acquisition sustainable “shade-grown” coffee to help protect against the continued destruction of the rain forest as well as the birds that inhabit them.
Always purchase whole bean. Just purchase whole beans that smell and taste fresh, not stagnant.
You do not want to acquire pre-ground coffee due to the fact that you never recognize whether it is currently rancid by the time you get it.
Darker roast is superior to light roast. The darker roasts, such as French, Italian, or those made use of to make expresso and Turkish coffee, are greater in neuroprotective agents than the lighter roasts. Dark roast coffee recovers blood levels of the antioxidants vitamin E and glutathione more effectively than light roast coffee.

Drink your coffee without sugar, artificial sweetener, or business creamers. Otherwise, you are undoing all the wellness advantages of coffee. Excess sugar consumption raises the danger of insulin resistance, suppresses the immune system, and perpetuates addicting food habits. If you like dairy products and also can tolerate it, you may add organic or ideally grass-fed entire milk or cream to your coffee. Skim or non-fat milk frequently has more sugar than whole milk, while industrial creamers often tend to have unsavory ingredients.
Avoid flavored as well as novelty coffees. These items usually have a myriad of chemical ingredients.
Usage non-bleached filters. If you use a drip coffee machine, stay clear of using the brilliant white chlorine-bleached filters. A few of the chlorine might leach right into the coffee throughout the developing process. The bleached filters may likewise include unsafe sanitation byproducts such as dioxin.
Prevent plastic mugs. Be careful regarding the container you consume your coffee from. Plastic cups might seep BPA as well as Styrofoam mugs might leach polystyrene particles. Your best choices are glass, ceramic, or stainless steel coffee cups.
When Coffee Is Not Right For you?

If this holds true, it is a tell-tale indication that your body is not functioning effectively and also you need to deal with the underlying problems.
Adrenal fatigue can damage your wellness. The adrenal glands affect every organ and also system in the body – from metabolic rate of carb, healthy protein, and fat, to liquid and also electrolyte equilibrium, cardio system, body immune system, hormonal system, and also also your sx drive. Consequently, if you have adrenal fatigue, pumping your system with caffeine is merely going to aggravate your problem in the long run.
Coffee has a diuretic impact. If you have troubles with electrolyte balance, you might intend to prevent it as well.
If you drink coffee and also have problems falling asleep or have a tendency to awaken in the night, you may be high levels of caffeine sensitive. Caffeine degrees vary relying on the type of roast, grind, and also brewing method. Darker roasts contain much less caffeine than lighter roasts. The finer the grind, the greater the high levels of caffeine in the coffee. Drip coffee has more caffeine than coffee due to the fact that the mixture time is much longer. If you experience rest concerns from the caffeine, you may intend to vary your sort of roast, grind, or brewing approach or cut down on the amount you consume daily and also ensure you just have coffee early in the morning.
If you experience tummy cramping, heart palpitations, or other symptoms after consuming alcohol coffee, you may actually have a food intolerance. There is additionally the possibility of mold (coffee is a dried out food and may have mold and mildew) or other impurities in the coffee that set off a physical response.

Be careful that nearly all decaf coffee found in coffee shops and supermarket is processed with the chemical solvent ethyl acetate. You wish to avoid this sort of decaf coffee as traces of chemical solvent still stay in the coffee.
Decaf coffee by regulation has to contend the very least 97 percent of the high levels of caffeine removed. For referral, a shot of coffee at Starbucks has 75 mg of high levels of caffeine, a brief (8-oz) made coffee has 175 mg, a tall (12 oz) 260 mg, and a grande (16 oz) 330 mg. As you can see, if you have several mugs a day, the caffeine can accumulate rather rapidly.

Nevertheless, beware with the energizer nevin manimala impact of caffeine as it can end up being incredibly nevin manimala habit forming.

As in all “my” recipes, the quantities are a bit ropey, but you don’t need to be exact with this one, even if you’re a scaredy cook you’ll still be able to produce lovely, steaming pot full of delicious stew! This takes about 45 minutes, and I always make a big pot, it keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days and you can also freeze portions.
2 cups of lentils (I used two different types, little green ones and big brown ones)
1 cup of (brown) rice (any sort)
1 can of beans (any sort)
1 tin of tomatoes (chopped)
4 tbsp olive oil
1-2 onions, chopped
stock cube (I usually just dump in the stock cube and add water as I go instead of making up the stock first) water, added slowly during the cooking process.
2 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp thyme
2 bay leaves
3-4 juniper berries
1-2 tbsp paprika
1-2 tbsp vinegar (I use cider, but any sort will do)
some garlic if you like, salt and pepper.
Add tin of tomatoes, stock cube (you may need 2, depending on quantity, but you can always add the second one later if you need it), rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, juniper berries, cloves, rice and lentils. Add a bit of water. Stir.
Put the lid on and simmer for half an hour, stirring every 5 minutes or so. Add more water as you go, but don’t let it get too “soupy”.
After it has simmered for about half an hour, add the vinegar. (Watch it! too much vinegar is the only thing which can possibly ruin this! Start by adding 1 tbsp, then do a quick taste-test.) Add the can of beans (drained) and the paprika. Cook for another 15 minutes – this is the time to boil excess water off or add a bit more, depending on how you like it. Before serving, you can try to pick out the bay leaves, cloves and juniper berries. (I said try! You’ll never find them all!!!) Add salt and pepper to taste.
Now, I like to do my vegetables separately, but you can add them during cooking. I find that if I put them in and cook them with the rest, and store it in the fridge, the veggies lose their crunch.
This recipe can be modified in lots of ways. For example, instead of rice, you can use millet or quinoa. But, as these have a shorter cooking time than rice, add them after about 20 minutes or so. Tofu is another good ingredient. I made this stew yesterday with quinoa, and it turned out absolutely delicious. Also, try adding a bit of cayenne pepper or chilli powder for a more fiery version.

Risotto is basically an Italian recipe made from Arborio Rice also popularly known as risotto rice. The basic recipe involves cooking the arborio rice in stock/broth; till it reaches a creamy consistency.
I have tried to make a fusion dish out of this Italian classic. The method of cooking is same but I have tweaked the recipe to a quite some extent. I have attempted to make an Italian Indian fusion recipe. And trust me it turned out amazing 🙂
Serving : 4 portions.
Cooking time – 30-35 minutes.
2 cups – Arborio/Risotto Rice
400 grams Pumpkin – diced into small cubes
1 onion (medium-sized) – finely chopped
6-8 cups – Water (approx)
6 Curry leaves
10 Methi /Fenugreek Seeds (optional).
1/3 tsp Hing/ Asafoetida. If the Hing is very strong, then just a pinch would be enough.
Red chillies – finely chopped (as per taste)
2 tbsp – Oil
1 tsp – Mustard seeds
2 tsp – Pumpkin Seeds (Optional)
Salt as per taste
- Take about 150 grams of Pumpkin cubes and boil them in about 2 cups of water.
- Once the pumpkin cubes become soft , puree them.
- Heat around 2 tbsp Oil in a pan.
- When the oil is hot add mustard seeds and let them temper.
- Now add Hing/ Asafoetida, curry leaves and onions and let them cook.
- Once the onions start turning pink, add the remaining pumpkin cubes. Stir on high heat for about 2 minutes.
- Now add Risotto rice and stir for about 20 seconds on high heat.
- Add 1 cup water to the rice, and let it simmer.
- Once the rice soaks up all the water add the pumpkin puree.
- At this stage add the salt and red chillies. Let the rice simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
- Now add 1 cup of water and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes
- Continue stirring on low heat and adding 1 cup water at a time till the rice is cooked. But keep in mind that the rice should not be too thick or too runny.
- The Fusion Pumpkin Risotto is ready to be served.

Does this sound too good to be true? I sure thought so.
My name is Laura.
I used to eat like a trash panda.
Well, ok. "Trash Panda" refers to a raccoon, but I see some similarities between the way I used to eat and rummaging around a garbage can.
I thought eating healthy meant eating whole grains, I drank what I wanted, and my kitchen skills tapped out at making pizza rolls in the oven.
I wasn't sleeping, I was gaining weight and stress, and I was over-freaking-whelmed.
Then I found Whole30.


Seriously, I’ve never had almond butter this good. And I’m not just saying that because I want you to think my blog’s awesome. I’m saying it because I made this yesterday and it was so amazing I felt obligated to share it with the world.
Start with raw, organic almonds if possible. They are the healthiest in my opinion. It’s especially important to get organic if they are coming from the US, because all almonds there have to be sterilized (even if they are labeled “raw”!) and the non-organic ones are often treated with PPO, a known carcinogen that is banned in many countries. “Raw” in the US means they have been treated with PPO, heat steamed, or irradiated. You can usually avoid this by buying directly from a trusted farmer, buying oversees (but, resources), or growing your own!
Also, you know, keep in mind these aren’t staying raw for this recipe. But I like having the original, unadulterated product to work with.
In all honesty, however, I didn’t have much money to spend on almonds or even a good source for them, so I caved one day when there was a bulk sale at a big ugly grocery corporation nearby, buying probably the worst quality almonds. They worked just fine (aside from a few rotten bits).
Anyway. Here’s how you make amazing deliciousness:
Ingredients (I’m guessing on the amounts here. Feel free to adjust according to your own judgement and taste):
1 cup almonds
2 tsp coconut oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbl cocoa powder
Pinch of cinnamon
Oven preheat: 325F
Preparing the almonds:
Soak almonds in salt water overnight.
Rinse, drain, and peel. The skin should pop off easily but it still takes awhile to go through them all. But it tastes way better without the skin.
Dehydrate in a dehydrator at about 125F for at least 12 hours, or in your oven at the lowest temperature. Do not leave your house unattended with the oven on please!
Place 3/4 of the brown sugar with a splash of water in a bowl. Mix it up and put the almonds in, then mix those all up with your fingers until they are coated.
Using your hands, spread almonds across a baking sheet and put in the oven at 325F. I say to use your hands because there might be leftover sugar juice, and the almonds don’t need to be drowning in it while they roast.
Leave them in there for 15 minutes or less if you’re afraid they’re going to burn. Stir once or twice while they’re in there to help avoid this.
Remove pan from oven and stir again. Let cool 10 mins. Keep an eye on them because nuts like to continue cooking once they’re out of the oven.
Now for the butter!:
Put almonds in a food processor on low for a few minutes, occasionally stopping it to scrape down the sides.
Eventually it will start to change into a pasty substance. When this happens, add your tiny amount of coconut oil. You may be tempted to add more, but sometimes it tastes awhile for the natural oils in the almonds to come out so be patient. You can always add more at the end.
Let run a couple more minutes, then add a pinch of cinnamon and salt, some cocoa powder and the remaining brown sugar. You can make it more or less sweet depending on your mood.
Continue to run processor until everything is smooth and creamy. If at this point is it still too hard, you can add a bit more coconut oil. Do not add water as it will go bad faster.
Put into a glass container and keep it in the fridge.


Our freezer was filled with dungeness crab legs so one night I boiled them all up and then made crab cakes with 3 pounds of the lump crab meat. We used an old family recipe from the side of the Old Bay can. The only substitution we did was we used Panko Japanese bread crumbs in place of dried bread.
Recipe from the Old Bay website
2 slices dried bread, crusts removed
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon McCormick® Parsley Flakes
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon OLD BAY® Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 pound lump crabmeat
In a large bowl, break bread into small pieces. Moisten with milk.
Add mayo, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, baking powder, OLD BAY, salt, egg and crabmeat. Mix lightly and shape into 4 patties. If time permits, refrigerate patties 30 minutes to help keep them together when cooking.
Broil or fry until golden-brown on both sides.

A little while ago, whilst surfing the bodybuilding.com forum (I love that website way too much), I saw someone raving about how they slathered their broccoli in butter, baked it, and that it ended up tasting like popcorn.
“Pffffft.. hah!” I told myself, “That’s impossible!” These starving fitness fanatics are probably just confusing one food for another in a haze of post-workout hunger.
Broccoli tasting like popcorn? Yeah right.
But then I got thinking. Well .. I need better ways to make vegetables. Ways that will make me actually eat them. So I tried to recreate the mythical popcorn broccoli. And boy did it work.
Now, don’t get me wrong, this broccoli is not popcorn. What it is though, is quite mythical in itself. The broccoli wilts slightly and caramelizes. It gets ever-so-slightly crispy on the edges of the crown. It has kind of a sweet, savoury, and buttery thing going on, all while retaining the natural ‘bite’ the broccoli has if you leave a bit of stalk on. If that’s not your thing, you can totally popcorn-ify just the crown if you’d like something that melts in your mouth. Because sometimes, chewing is for chumps (probably why I drink at least one smoothie a day, actually).
Broccoli used to be my second or third favourite vegetable (with salad and brussels sprouts being the winners). Now it is my favourite. And I hope this recipe can do the same for you!
- 2 broccoli crowns, chopped into large, bite-size pieces (broccoli will shrink to about half its size after baking)
- 2 tbsp butter or oil (I use 1 tbsp of each)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- dash of onion and garlic powder
- Preheat oven to 400*F.
- Mix oil and/or melted butter and spices in a bowl, and stir to combine. Add broccoli and toss until evenly coated.
- Place broccoli on non-stick pan and bake for 15 minutes.
- Flip broccoli, reduce heat to 375*, and bake for another 10 minutes.

— By the way .. in the back of the photo is pork tenderloin dusted with cinnamon, nutmeg, and white pepper. If you’d like some of that, just cut a tenderloin into 3 pieces, moisten the meat with olive oil (I do this using my hands — just pouring oil on my hands and rubbing the meat, then I wash my hands later), and dust with cinnamon, nutmeg, and white pepper. Then you bake it uncovered at 400*F until it has an internal temperature of 145* (took mine about 20 mins). I like to cover this with a bit of mandarin orange salad dressing. The sweet spices go well with it. Consider this your reward for reading to the very end of my post 😉 you little trooper, you.

I'm not French. Nor will I ever claim to be. However, I have spent the last two years living here in France and learning from the French people.
As Americans, we have a lot we can learn from our European counterparts.
Their relationship with food, for example.
In America we want it fast, cheap and convenient. In France, food is family. Food is savored. Food is shared. Food is quality. And most importantly food is not a chore or an obligation.
They eat everything in moderation. They walk. They enjoy. They never limit or restrict. It's amazing. It's life changing, and it changed my relationship with food and healed my mind from an eating disorder.
I'm so passionate about this way of eating that I want to share it with you all!
So here are my top 5 suggestions on how to eat like the French along with a few meal examples:
Tip #1: Eat 3 Full Meals a Day (With little to no snacking)
Tip #2: Eat Slowly, Sitting Down, Savoring Every Bite
Tip #3: Dessert=Fruit, Cheese, Yogurt or 2 Biscuits
Tip #4: Eat up what you have in the fridge
Tip #5: Drink Water with Most Meals (Coffee, Tea, Wine occasionally)
-Breakfast: Fromage Blanc or Natural Yogurt/Almond Milk Yogurt with some berries, museli (granola: no sugar added) and honey (agave syrup), Green tea on the side
-Lunch: A big green salad with tomatoes, shredded carrots, corn, cucumbers, quinoa, and two organic, free-range hard boiled eggs (*home made vinaigrette: 1 spoon full of apple cider vinegar, 1 spoon full of balsamic vinegar, 2 spoon full's of extra virgin olive oil, some herbs, salt, pepper, and a half spoon full of mustard). Dessert: banana or 2 small biscuits.
-Dinner: a small salmon filet, green beans with slivered almonds and whole grain rice with herbs and spices. Dessert: apple or yogurt.
-Breakfast: 2 pieces of whole grain toast with honey, bananas and cinnamon. An orange. Long black coffee on the side.
-Lunch: Gnocchi pasta with tomato sauce, small green salad, and cheese on the side (or a plant based form of protein such as fermented tofu.) Dessert: strawberries.
-Dinner: Ratatouille (steamed and cooked in olive oil tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini with provencal spices), Red Rice and a form of protein. Baguette on the side with butter or Vegan butter (my favorite is Coconut Oil Butter.) Dessert: home made microwave brownie in a cup.
I really hope you enjoyed these tips and meal ideas. Let me know how you like them and if want to know more about how living and eating in France changed my mindset around food!

WELLINGTON, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- Spray-free strawberries will be enjoyed by New Zealanders, with a high-tech new system aimed to extend the fruit's short season.
The spray-free strawberries will be grown through a high-tech new system almost all year round through a government-backed pilot project based in Foxton of the North Island, Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor said on Tuesday.
"We're focused on innovations that lift the sustainability and productivity of our food and fiber sector and this project moves us along that path," O'Connor said.
"Strawberries are a staple in the Kiwi diet in summer, but many would agree that our strawberry season is all too short," he said, adding the most cost-effective method has been identified to grow high-yielding, out-of-season strawberries using a controlled environment growing system, partnering with companies.
The new indoor hydroponic system recycles water and uses mobile vertical racks and pulsing light, so it doesn't require the pesticides or herbicides that are usually an essential part of large-scale strawberry production, said the minister.
"While controlled environment growing systems are already being used around the world, this is the first of its kind in New Zealand," he said, adding it is likely one of the first examples globally of growing strawberries this way.
The project will aim to produce fruit with an equivalent taste, look, and size to peak-season strawberries grown locally and conventionally, O'Connor said, adding it has the potential to benefit the horticulture industry in New Zealand, both environmentally and economically.
Successful adoption of the technology could also create more skilled technical jobs that are not season dependent, he added.
