What we’ve all been taught about dog food
We dog owners have been taught that feeding a “quality” kibble is the best way to care for our dogs, so of course, we’ve done it. We’ve been taught that dogs must be fed a “scientifically balanced diet.” And that such a task is too complex for us to attempt on our own. But what if such phrases are merely marketing tools?
Commercial pet food came into being to improve corporate profits. By marketing commercial pet food to the public, these companies found a way to utilize ingredients that didn’t qualify for human consumption. Sweepings off the granary floor, condemned meat, rancid fats.
Numerous chemicals must be added for flavor, color, texture, and to preserve these products. Some of these chemicals are added at the rendering plant and are never even listed on the label. So the chemical load grows and grows.
For more details, please see works like Foods Pets Die For by Ann N. Martin or Pet Food—What You Need to Know by Dr. Donna Spector. Additionally, there are lots of sites online that explain what’s really in commercial pet food.
I was shocked when I first read these things. I didn’t want to believe them. Some people even take offense when this information is brought to their attention, and I do apologize if I’ve caused any offense. That’s certainly not my intent.
My reaction was different. I wasn’t offended, I just wanted to know what I could do differently. So here at Bear Creek Ranch we’ve gone back in time.
We feed our adult dogs a modified raw food diet, just as farmers fed their dogs prior to the 1970’s. Think about that… If a chicken got butchered for Sunday dinner some went to the dog. If a kid didn’t finish his breakfast, or a little bit of pot roast was leftover, the farmer’s wife saved it all for the dog.
Feeding dogs does not have to be a science project as the pet food companies would have us believe. Wolves don’t eat a scientifically balanced diet. I don’t. I can barely remember what I ate for lunch yesterday. People have successfully fed their dogs for hundreds of years all by themselves.
Bear Creek puppies
Our puppies will be weaned on to real food rather than kibble. They may be fed some dairy products during weaning as well as chicken, free-range eggs, beef; and some vegetables but no cereals or grains.
Why no grains?
Prior to one year of age, a puppy’s intestinal tract is still permeable to large proteins (including the large proteins in grains). These large proteins can trigger the puppies’ immune system response and set the stage for autoimmune / allergy problems later in life. We encourage puppy buyers to avoid grain for at least the first year of the dog’s life.
It’s widely reported that homemade meals result in leaner body mass and more gradual weight-gain in puppies. Both of these qualities help prevent the development of hip dysplasia. You can read more about that here.
We are happy to teach puppy buyers how to make homemade meals. And we encourage you to do this! It does not have to be complicated or time-consuming. If you can feed yourself, you can feed your dog. We feel this is the best form of “health insurance” available to you and your dogs. It’s very satisfying, too.
The following is an excerpt from my award-winning book, Dogs, Diet, and Disease. I hope it gives you the confidence to make your dog’s meals.
Diets Prepared at Home
In the thousands of years since man and dog first began their friendship, man has shared the food from his own hunt/farm/dining table with his dogs. It has only been in the last several decades that commercial food has been available for pets. This represents an abrupt change from a diet that has lasted for centuries.
Some people are direly afraid that they will not be able to get canine nutrition “right” for their pet. The pet food industry has convinced them that the practice of dog feeding is a complex science and that every meal must be completely and painstakingly balanced according to dubious industry standards. The concept of creating carbon-copy meals is highly artificial and even detrimental. Man and dogs alike were designed to achieve a balanced diet over time. We were never designed to eat the same meals every day of our entire lives.
Let’s examine some options for preparing home-made meals —first a cooked diet, and then the raw food diet. If you can feed yourself and your family, you can feed your dog, too.
Preparing a Home-cooked Diet
Pet owners frequently express uncertainty when switching to a home-cooked diet. There are few hard, fast rules but here are some solid guidelines. The most current recommendation for preparing a cooked diet at home is as follows:
For adult dogs:
• the diet should consist of approximately 50% meat (ground meat such as beef, turkey, or chicken); organ meat, eggs, and fish, such as sardines; as well as the occasional cultured milk product, such as plain yogurt or kefir.
• If you chose to add grain to your dog’s diet, feed no more than about one-sixth of the diet, or 15%, as grain. Rice and oats are the least irritating of the grains.
• The remainder, 35% to 50% should consist of vegetables and fruits, preferably pulped or blended in a food processor.
• Dogs eating cooked diets should receive some calcium supplementation. Some dog owners add 1/2 teaspoon of ground eggshells for every pound of meat. They save their eggshells, grind them in a coffee grinder and store them in the refrigerator until needed. Some use bone meal. Others use prepared vitamin/mineral supplements available from pet supply shops and veterinarians.
• The diet should consist approximately 60% to 70% meat (ground meat such as beef, turkey, or chicken); organ meat, eggs, and fish, such as sardines; as well as the occasional cultured milk product, such as plain yogurt or kefir.
• The remainder (30% to 40%) should consist of vegetables and fruits, preferably pulped or blended in a food processor.
• Avoid grain, bread, pasta, etc. for the first year of the puppy’s life.
• Feed puppies three to four times per day until at least 6 months of age, then gradually reduce to two meals per day.
• Puppies eating cooked diets should receive some calcium supplementation. Again, some owners add 1/2 teaspoon of ground eggshells for every pound of meat. Others use prepared vitamin/mineral supplements available from pet supply shops and veterinarians. A good rule of thumb is that it is better for the puppies to grow slowly, so excess calcium supplementation for puppies is not desirable. See below for details about the Biologically Appropriate Raw Food diet, which eliminates most worries about calcium levels for pups.
Meal preparation may seem awkward at first, but as with any habit, it becomes faster and easier with time. Most dog owners feeding home-cooked meals basically prepare a stew. Some cook the meat in a skillet, a Dutch oven/crock pot, or microwave oven. If they choose to feed grains to adult dogs, they cook or soak them beforehand, then add them to the meat. Vegetables are finely chopped or pulped and then added to the mixture. Other owners mix together ground meat and chopped vegetables and cook, resulting in the equivalent of a doggy-meatloaf.
Many veterinarians and pet food company salesmen will frown upon this approach, and yet, it is the way in which dogs have been successfully fed for decades. Owners may notice one other important benefit of feeding this way. They may begin eating better themselves. Many people notice an improvement in their own health when they replace highly processed, heavily preserved foods with those that are whole and fresh.
Above and beyond the guidelines above, there are some fine points you may wish to consider. First, rotate ingredients. This is how mammals achieve a balanced diet—by eating a variety of nutrients over time.
When cooking meats, cook them lightly (rare or medium-rare). Meats cooked well-done are devoid of intrinsic enzymes. Meats can include ground meat or larger cuts, as well as organ meats such as liver, kidneys, and heart. Introduce organ meats slowly and in small amounts. Rich organ meat can cause some dogs diarrhea. Always cook salmon for dogs and remove any cooked bones.
If you choose to add grain to your adult dog’s diet, consider rice or oatmeal. These are considered the least offending grains to dogs (carnivores). Oatmeal can be cooked, or soaked overnight in water or yogurt.
It is strongly recommended that you pulp fruits and vegetables in a blender or food processor. Dogs have difficulty breaking down the cell walls of plant material. When you break foods down mechanically, the dog’s digestive system has much better access to the nutrients. In addition, do cook such vegetables as potatoes, yams and squash. Most other vegetables can be served either cooked or raw.
If you are pressed for time, experiment with frozen vegetables like French cut green beans, spinach or chopped broccoli. It’s possible that your dog can digest these without further effort from you, and this may save you some preparation time. Avoid peas and corn. Frozen vegetables are more nutritious than canned, but even canned vegetables are of higher quality than the fillers found in commercial pet food.
How much to feed
Dog owners frequently ask, “How much food should I give my dog?” One rule of thumb recommends is that a dog’s daily food intake should equal 2% to 3% of his body-weight. (Puppies are often fed 2% to 3% of their expected adult weight.) Dogs are individuals, though. They have different metabolic rates. Some dogs are “high energy” individuals requiring more calories, and others are not. You may have to adjust the levels of ingredients to suit your dog’s metabolism.
It is recommended to maintain a lean body weight for puppies. One rule of thumb is that it you should be able to feel the puppy’s ribs but not protruding pelvic bones. In nature, recently weaned puppies are not yet efficient hunters and they are low in the pack order. The combined result is few calories for young pups, a slower growth rate, and lean body weight. This scenario is conducive to proper bone and joint formation. Feed very young puppies small meals four times daily, and then gradually reduce to two meals per day by the time the pup is nine to twelve months old.
You can save yourself time and energy by making enough stew for about a week’s worth of meals. Divide the stew into freezer-bag portions or small containers and freeze them. You will quickly get in the habit of taking out the next bag to defrost whenever you feed your dog.
The Benefits of Feeding Home-cooked Diets
The benefits of feeding your dog a home-cooked meal are numerous. Your dog will be ingesting few, if any, preservatives, chemicals, or dyes. He will be receiving ingredients of much higher quality and nutritional value. And you can virtually eliminate grains from the diet.
Home-cooked meals are immensely palatable to dogs. If your dog has been finicky in the past, he is much more likely to now eat reliably. Home-cooked meals can be prepared with as much consistency of ingredients as any commercial foods. Finally, dog-owners frequently describe a feeling of satisfaction from making their dogs a real meal.
The Drawbacks of Feeding Home-cooked Diets
Preparing homemade dog food may also have some drawbacks for your family. It will require more of your time. It will require more of your freezer space. And it is likely to cost you about the same or more than premium or prescription dog foods. You can help offset the cost by purchasing ingredients at warehouse-style grocery stores or by asking the butcher to order you dog’s meat in bulk.
It is also possible for home-cooked diets to have some of the same drawbacks as commercial diets. If you cook meats at high temperatures amino acids and enzymes will be damaged. If you choose to feed large amounts of grain, your dog may experience many of the same immune system problems linked to a commercial diet.
While the concept of preparing a “stew” provides consistency, it too has drawbacks. When all the food elements (proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and minerals) are present at the same meal, some of them combine in undesirable ways. Proteins and certain minerals can form “complexes” with carbohydrates and various lipids, rendering them unavailable.
And yet, even the most over-cooked, stew-styled, home-prepared meal is an incredible improvement over commercial dog food. The argument still remains that for many, many years, dogs have been living long healthy lives while sharing his owner’s cooked left-overs.
Raw Food Diets
Dog owners have another option in preparing meals at home. This is the Biologically Appropriate Raw Food diet, also known as the BARF diet. This diet attempts (within limits) to reproduce the diet of the wolf and wild dog. It consists of raw meat or raw meaty bones (such as chicken necks, wings, and backs) and mostly raw fruits and vegetables.
Many pet owners are now convinced that this type of nutrition is necessary for their pets to achieve optimum health. In the 1940s, Dr. Francis Pottinger Jr. did a series of controlled studies that supports this belief. His studies demonstrated that cats fed raw diets were far more healthy and resistant to disease and developmental abnormalities than cats fed the same cooked foods. Even so, the BARF diet is poorly accepted by the traditional veterinary community. The two most commonly cited objections are fear of feeding bones and fear of bacteria.
Remember the natural design of the dog. The teeth are designed to tear meat and crunch bones. Wild dogs routinely consume the bones of their prey as part of their meal. As Dr. Ian Billinghurst points out in his book “Give Your Dog a Bone,” it is cooked bones, not raw bones, that cause dogs problems such as GI perforations. Cooked bones shatter and splinter. Raw bones are soft and digested by the dog’s strong stomach acids.
In years past, owners commonly gave their pets raw meaty bones from their own farms, ranches, or butchers. Pet food companies, and their strong influence in veterinary schools, have steered owners away from this practice. The omission of meaty bones from the canine diet has paralleled the development of veterinary dentistry. Dogs that chewed raw bones had clean teeth naturally. They did not require dental chew toys, toothbrushes, or surgical procedures with general anesthesia to maintain normal dental health.
Many people have been taught to have an undue fear of germs. The reality is that dogs regularly come into contact with bacteria, including e-coli and salmonella, on a daily basis. They will chase a ball through the yard and then carry it in their mouths. They will bury chew toys in dirt, and contentedly gnaw on them later. Most common of all, dogs groom their own hind ends! Such contact is an integral part of canine behavior. It is normal for these bacteria to be present in the canine digestive tract.
Dogs come in contact with these “dangerous” bacteria all day long. Their bodies were designed to handle them. In fact, it is important that dogs come in contact with germs so that they develop immunity. Only dogs with weakened immune systems or prolonged antibiotic use face a threat from bacterial overgrowth.
Another argument you may hear opposing raw food is that “just because wolves eat a certain way, doesn’t mean pet dogs should, too. After all, wild dogs die much younger than our pets do.” This argument is not valid. The Grey Wolf lives an average of 10 to 12 years in the wild. Most of us know of at least one dog that died prematurely, either from cancer or other serious illness. Of the domestic dogs that do live longer, many are subjected to chronic, expensive, painful diseases in ever-increasing numbers.
Preparing a Raw Food Diet
There are two basic methods of preparing a BARF diet. Neither one includes much, if any, grain product. In the first method, meat meals are served separately from vegetable meals. This separation prevents various nutrients from binding together, which can render them unavailable. It also provides the kidneys with a rest. Meals consisting mainly of vegetables put little demand on kidney function.
About 50% to 70% of the diet should consist of raw meaty bones (RMBs.) Puppies are typically fed in the 70% range. This can include chicken necks, wings, or backs. RMBs are different than large joint bones. RMBs are crunched up by the dog and consumed as meals. They contain a biologically appropriate ratio of meat, calcium, and phosphorus. You may wish to remove the excessive fat to keep puppies thin. Running warm water over RMBs will help bring them to room temperature before serving
Joint bones (also called knuckle or soup bones) also have a place in the BARF diet. They provide an excellent way to entertain energetic dogs and puppies. Joint bones, too, should be offered raw, as cooked bones can break into dangerous shards. Throw bones away when they get small as some overly ambitious dogs might try to swallow them whole. Offer raw bones outdoors, in a kennel, or ex-pen so the bones are not dragged under your dining room table and onto your prized Oriental rug.
The second version of the raw food diet offers meat and vegetables together. This mimics the basic “stew” concept discussed previously. In this method RMBs have been passed through a grinding machine. This appeals to those dog owners who simply cannot accept the idea of feeding whole bones. It is now possible to find these ground-bone diets available commercially in high-end pet supply stores.
Vegetable meals can actually contain a variety of things in addition to just vegetables. This includes fruit, organ meat (liver, kidney, heart), eggs, sardines, and yogurt. As previously discussed in the cooked-diet section, vegetables should be finely ground. Starchy vegetables such as potatoes, yams, and squash are actually best cooked. If you do feed grain, cook it thoroughly or soak it overnight in warm water or yogurt.
Some people feed eggs whole and raw, some soft boil them, some cook them fully. The main concern is that raw egg whites contain avidin, which in very large amounts binds with biotin, an essential B vitamin, making it unavailable to the body.
If you find that your dog does not enjoy his vegetable meals, try adding a small amount of garlic, tomato sauce, banana, pumpkin, or ground meat (especially liver) in the mixture. Some dog owners add as much as 50 percent ground meat (muscle meat or organ meat) to the vegetable mixture. Most dogs find these ingredients highly palatable.
Do not add calcium supplements to BARF diets. The raw meaty bones will supply appropriate levels of calcium and other minerals. Added supplements may actually cause joint and skeletal problems.
As with cooked diets, it is possible to prepare meals as your schedule permits, and freeze the excess. You will quickly get into the habit of defrosting one container each time you feed your dog. Freezing fresh food does not damage intrinsic enzymes.
The Benefits of Feeding Raw Food Diets
Feeding your dog fresh, raw foods will supply him with undamaged amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Raw calories are non-stimulating to the pituitary gland and the appetite center in the brain. This helps reduce symptoms of hunger an stabilize body weight.
Preparing raw food meals typically takes less time than making home cooked meals (since no cooking is required). They are also more economical since the meaty bones (chicken necks, wings, and backs) are less costly than ground meat or fillets.
Fresh foods contain intact enzymes, greatly reducing stress on the exocrine pancreas. Dogs process this food quickly. Less energy is engaged in digestion and can be diverted to other activities such as immune system function. Biologically appropriate foods are less irritating to the intestinal tract. They place much less stress on kidney and liver function as well.
The Drawbacks of Feeding Raw Food Diets
As with the any diet, the BARF diet does have its drawbacks. It is more time consuming than feeding commercial diets. It requires as much, or more, freezer space as home-cooked diets. If you board your dog at a kennel, or hire a dog-sitter, others may be uncomfortable or unwilling to feed raw food. In these cases, it may be best to provide containers of cooked food for the time you’ll be away. Some dogs seem to prefer cooked food to raw food. And finally, your veterinarian may not be supportive of this methodology.
Variations in Homemade Diets
A number of variations are possible in the preparation of homemade diets. Some dog owners choose to cook all the ingredients in the diet. Some cook the meat and the grain, leaving the vegetables fresh; others choose to cook the meat only very lightly.
Variations also exist in raw food diets. Some owners choose not to feed any bones, but feed raw meats and vegetables, and simply supplement with calcium instead.
Some additional reading about raw food diets:


However in my world, I have to qualify that I only work in Double Stuff Oreos. I remember when they came our and they had the most filling in the middle, well I maintain that over the years, Nabisco has gradually pared down the filling until, now a Double Stuff Oreo is really a regular Oreo and a regular Oreo is a 1/2 stuffed Oreo. What, okay, I'm getting off the soap box....onto the yummy goodness.
When preparing for Brandon's birthday at work, I really struggled with the question do I make the Mountain Dew Cupcakes or these. See Brandon loves Oreos as much as I do, but I think he leans towards the Dew more so I went with the cupcakes. But I couldn't not make these, so here they are. These may become a much demanded dessert, because the pan I brought to the office very quickly disappeared.
With no further ado.. I give you...drum roll please........ OREO NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE BITES
· 2 ¼ cups heavy cream
· 1 pound cream cheese, softened
· 2/3 cup sugar
· ½ teaspoon salt
· 1 tablespoon lemon juice
· 2 teaspoon vanilla powder
· ¾ cups Oreo Cookies, crushed
1. Beat heavy cream until medium peaks form. Set aside.
2. Add cream cheese, sugar, salt, vanilla powder, lemon juice to a bowl and beat with a paddle attachment until smooth (approximately 3-5 mins). If you do not have a stand mixer or a paddle attachment a hand beater will work as well, but will take twice as long to achieve a smooth consistency.
3. Add cream cheese mixture to heavy cream and beat until incorporated.
4. Gently fold in Oreo cookies.
5. Place an Oreo cookie in the bottom of each cupcake liner (makes about 24), spoon/scoop filling over the top
6. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set or overnight for best results.
7. Remove from refrigerator and smooth top to level with edges. Serve with whipping cream and garnish with mini Oreos.


Announcing our new Baker In Residence
April 12, 2023
Akash Swar joins us as Baker-In-Residence at The Theatre Centre Café/Bar!
With the newly renovated Theatre Centre Café/Bar opened and in full motion, we are thrilled to welcome Akash Swar to our team. As our Baker In Residence, Akash will be designing our pastry menu, creating fresh baked goods for our café.
“Food has been an integral part of my life and I have always wanted to be involved with food. I come from a family where all the women are wonderful cooks and I wanted to become a great cook like them.
Growing up, my siblings and I always contributed to our family Sunday meals and I loved every part of it- from chopping cilantro, to grating coconut- every task was really satisfying to fulfill. I was hungry for more knowledge and that is when I decided to study at Humber College and Cordon Bleu for specialized pastry.
After I graduated from both schools, I worked in several restaurants around the city. One of the biggest skills I learnt from my several years of experience working in professional kitchens was creating recipes and experimenting with certain ingredients to create great products. My favourite part of being a baker is the creativity that goes behind every product that is being served to our lovely patrons.
Food is such an important part of everyone’s lives and it brings everyone together for any and every kind of occasion. Once I realized that a lot of people were happy with my products that I made, I wanted to pursue it even further by showcasing my talents at the Cafe at the Theatre Centre.”

Akash’s baked goods are available at our café now. For up-to-date café hours please check our website, or follow The Theatre Centre Café Instagram @TheatreCentreCafe.


Many people often complain about fats and do a lot of exercise to keep themselves in shape.
Bad fats in the blood also known as bad cholesterol is a compound that gets deposited on the inner walls of blood vessels and gradually reduces the space in which blood can pass. It causes hardening and stiffing of blood vessels.
The blood vessels loss their elasticity. This can result in increased blood pressure and is the main reason of heart attack. There is also restricted blood flow to heart and other organs.
High cholesterol level has become a common problem. It’s getting hard day by day to treat as many processed and high fat foods are available. People are addicted to these junk foods and they unintentionally welcome cholesterol in their body. It can be called as a lifestyle diseases. Before high cholesterol treatment, you must eliminate some of your habits that are primary factors which causes high cholesterol levels.
It is said that about 25 percent of the cholesterol in our body comes from our diet, and 75 percent is produced inside of our body by the liver. To lower your cholesterol, there are some best ways to lower cholesterol naturally, that should be adhered to. Here are some foods that removes cholesterol from your blood vessels.
1. Foods Rich In Fiber: This is one of the best ways to lower cholesterol naturally. Studies have found that increased consumption of soluble fiber, like the one found in fruits and vegetables (5 to 10 grams a day) can lead to a 5 percent decrease in cholesterol level in blood. To add 5 to 10 grams of fiber in your diet means to just have a fruit or a vegetable a day.
2. Eat Fish: Eating salmon fish, tuna and other sea food is one of the ways to lower cholesterol naturally. Fish, such as salmon and tuna, for example, are rich in omega -3 that actually helps lower cholesterol. Therefore, it is recommended to add fish to your weekly menu twice or three times.
3. Blueberries: Blueberries contain a very powerful antioxidant that can prevent the damage caused by bad cholesterol.
4. Good Fats: Not all fats increase cholesterol. Good fats help to decrease cholesterol level. Foods such as olive oil, avocado, fish, flaxseed, and nuts contain good fats such as omega-3. This fatty acid lower the amount of triglycerides in the blood and reduces cholesterol. Eat these foods at the expense of foods rich in fats that contribute to bad cholesterol (LDL).
5. Have Three Almonds A Day: Almond skin contains compounds that prevent the breakdown of good fats of (LDL), thereby preventing damage to the blood vessels and heart. Good fats help to remove cholesterol from your body. So early morning make it a habit to eat almonds.
6. Avocado: It is also found to increase the good fats and lower the bad cholesterol, especially in people with high cholesterol levels. Good fats act as a scavenger and remove bad fats from the blood vessels.
7. Oatmeal: This is one of the best high cholesterol treatment. Instead of the usual cereal, prefer to start the day with oatmeal or bran. It is common to claim that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. One cup of oatmeal or bran has about 2 grams of soluble fiber and 4 grams of fiber in total. Oatmeal is the best food defense against cholesterol. The reason is that oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which turn into a gel in the body. This helps you to feel full and decreases the absorption of cholesterol in blood.


I remember the first time I had real butter.....I was helping a neighbor lady who lived on a dairy farm and she served homemade bread with real butter. And real Farmers cheese. Oh so yummy!!!!
I'm having a few girlfriends over tomorrow so this morning I put my hair back in cute scarf fashion and donned my great grandmother's apron - ready to tackle the kitchen. (You wear boots and blue jeans to the rodeo, sweats to the gym, "work clothes" to work don't ya? Why not dress to cook?) On the agenda: homemade bread and butter. If you follow me on Pintrest you can easily see that I love both. (I will have a link to follow me on Pintrest just as soon as I figure out how!) Even though I have been at it for 4 hours it really doesn't take long to do....just a few simple steps but it takes time for bread to rise and bake and such. Here is a link to my current favorite bread recipe: Courtesy Providence Hill Farm It's super easy and delicous!
My hubby did good this Christmas and bought some items off of my Amazon Wish List. I got this darling butter mold and a bread basket, garden book and perfume I wanted. I also got an army blanket and camping plates. Yes they were on my list but I had them on there for other people....one of these days I'm going Glamping and going to blog about it. : )
Back to the butter. I learned how to make this from the sweetest lady I met at Garden Club and I love how easy it is! All you do is buy some cream from a local dairy. I do milk goats but they do not naturally have cream that rises to the top like a cow would. I do have on my Wish List (pay attention honey) a Cream Seperator that would do the trick for my goats milk. And I would love one of these wooden paddles to use when I make butter.Wooden Spatulas & Paddles
Anyways....Add the cream to your KitchenAid and let it whisk on low about 4 min until it reaches the whipped cream stage. You can take out half of it if you choose and add sugar & vanilla and top that lattice apple pie you just made. Or turn up the dial to high for about 10 more minutes and let it do it's thing. It's extremely messy so I put a towel over mine. Before you know it you now have butter and buttermilk which can be used for pancakes and lots of yummy things. Place the butter in a separate bowl and rinse it with cold water. You may now add any salt or herbs you'd like. I chose to salt some and put in the butter mold and made Orange Mint Butter with the rest:
1 stick butter
2 Tablespoons Honey
1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
That's it! The other butter is still in the mold in the freezer but here is what it looks like when we served it at Christmas.
Pretty darn cute, huh?


Smooth, rich milk chocolate with that unmistakably Belgian flavour that we know and love.
57% COCOA & 14% Milk Solids
Cocoa Liquor, Cocoa Butter, Lactose Free Whey Powder (Milk), Cane Sugar, Lactose Free Whole Milk Powder, Fruit Sugar (fructose), Soya Lecithin (As emulsifier 0.4%).
Allergy Advice: See ingredients in bold.
All our chocolate is made in an environment where we also use nuts, including peanuts.

Tandoori Chicken Recipe - Learn How To Make This Wonderful Indian Dish
Food and wine are inexorably linked. Like fish and chips, shoes and socks and Little B and Aishwarya. There are some things in the creators' ensemble of wonder that are meant to be together. There is no denial to the fact that all sorts of Indian cuisine are dimensionally enhanced with the addition of perfect bottle of wine. So what exactly does constitute the perfect bottle of wine for food?
Although aimed at children's lunches, I have used recipes from this book in my personal chef business for clients who have wanted something simple chicken tikka masala from jar healthy for lunch. I have indeed been impressed with some of these recipes!
To wash down the parantha is the shikanji. Cool and refreshing this one makes for a great drink especially in this hot weather. North Indian dishes is not complete without chicken. For the non-vegetarians there is tandoori sampler. slow cooker slow cooker chicken tikka masala without cream, tandoori chicken and mutton seekh kabab. The tikkas are succulent and spicy, the chutni adds to the flavour of the seekh. Besides this there is biryani, regular thali, kathi rolls (veg and non-veg) and chaawal meals.
The book starts with Nibbles and Dips (i.e. Cheesy Celery Stalks, Honey-Sesame Sausages, Pear & Ham Bundles, Mozzarella, Cherry Tomatoe & Basil Sticks), then moves on to Soups (Creamy Tomato & Lentil Soup, Green Giant Soup, Corn Chowder), Sandwiches & Wraps (Cream Cheese & Date Bagel, Cajun Salmon &Cucumber Roll, Smoked Salmon Spirals, tikka masala Naan), Salads (Greek Salad, Italian Flag Salad, Spicy Bulgar Salad with Nectarines, Sausage & Barley Salad), Savory Bites (Falafel, Tofu Bites, Simple Mini Pizzas, Spaghetti Frittata) and finishes with Sweet Treats & Bakes (Mango Fool, Winter Fruit Salad, Strawberry Crunch Cup).
For some kinds of cakes, you can use wine or sherry rather than butter and oil. It will make your cake lighter and will add some interesting flavor as well.
But back to the food. Our first lesson was to take slow cooker chicken tikka masala place on the banks of Fort Cochin's quaint harbour where Chinese fishermen fan out their nets like umbrellas to make their catch. It's here that you can buy fish fresh from the fishermen and have them cooked for you right by the sea, there and then - a delicious treat. Today it was our turn to try. This, it turned out was more skillful than we expected. The raw flame easily burnt the flesh if we weren't careful and overcooking left the normally juicy fish tough not tender. But we soon got the hang of it.
Get to know me! Listen to Chio in the Morning. Hear what I'm passionate about. Be my friend on Facebook and read my status updates. It's all about how you present your company to me and how it will benefit both parties.
Hope you enjoy your time in Pakistan! If you live in India, you'll probably want to pack similar things with you when you leave. Make sure to buy a scale so you can weigh all that you plan on packing. It's a bummer to get to the airport and pay the excess baggage fees.


How to Wean Yourself Off of the Coffee for a Healthier Lifestyle
Judging by the endless lines at your local coffee shops, it’s easy to see that, while the coffee industry is going well, many are simply skipping the lines. The workplace has started to replace the coffee shops for many coffee drinkers. While starting the day off with a cup is a perfectly normal (and oftentimes necessary), with the convenience of in-house coffee pots right next to your desk, it’s tempting to refill your cup more than once throughout the day. Although it may seem harmless, or even mindless, filling your body with loads of caffeine, and sugar, if you don’t drink it black, can be downright dangerous. We’re here to help you avoid the long Starbucks lines and start resisting the urge for multiple cups o’ Joe by exploring healthier alternatives.
With the flexibility of Keurig machines, a hot cup of tea or a tall glass of iced tea is a button away. More and more beverage companies are manufacturing their teas in K-cups, making this healthier option available instantly. With a variety of flavors -- green, black, herbal and specialty teas to name a few -- we’re allowed fresh, healthy options and delicious flavor. Some teas are even sweet enough to pass on added sugar!
Most offices don’t have blenders, but a quick stop at your local smoothie or juice bar is a great way to get over your 2:30 p.m. slump. Green smoothies with fruits and veggies like kale, spinach and cilantro are a great source of energy and nutrients. If you’re feeling extra healthy, add chia seeds or a wheatgrass shot for added nutrients. Some shops will even have the option to add a shot of “energy,” making the need for coffee almost obsolete!
If nothing else seems to keep you awake, slice up some lemons and add them to a glass of water. As simple as it sounds, lemon water is extremely beneficial. Lemon water can aid in digestion, help keep a clear complexion and even give you a burst of energy.
Those brave souls who have given up their coffee have noticed fewer headaches, better sleep and even whiter teeth! Although it may seem difficult, substituting coffee with other alternatives is a simple step towards a healthier lifestyle.

A family-owned bakery in Cumbria is gearing up for a busy Valentine’s Day with Aldi, with its novelty heart-shaped crumpets expected to fly off the shelves.
Based in Carlisle, Lakeland Bake has been supplying the supermarket with its own-label crumpets since it opened in 2006, and now supplies stores across the UK with more than five million packets per year.

The food shortage in North Korea may not be as bad as many believe this coming winter:
“The monitors’ reports do not show us the situation is that bad at this time. Presently, North Korea is during harvest time.”
However, according to Mr. Risley, the food shortage may worsen in the spring.
Beginning this week, 6,000 tons of flour will be distributed to flood victims in North Korea.

It is said that Go Cong has many interesting things, especially many delicious dishes and fruit is all year round. Therefore, we took a trip to here and discovered 3 specialties in Go Cong eating once and remembering forever.
3 specialties in Go Cong include “mam tom cha Go Cong”, “banh va Go Cong” and “chao ca dua” that you can’t forget when having a chance to try.
“Mam tom cha Go Cong”
“Mam tom cha” is the most famous specialty in Go Cong, I heard that it is from the old kings period. The main material of this dish is land shrimps having many red bricks. “Mam tom cha” can be eaten with “banh trang cuon”, boiled pork or fresh vegetables which are very delicious.
“Banh va Go Cong”
“Banh va (gia) Cho Giong” is a famous specialty from the old to the present day thanks to its unique flavor. “Banh gia” is the simple dish and it can be eaten at anytime in a whole day.
If you want this “banh gia” dish to have the right delicious flavor, you must make chili garlic sauce which is mixed according to a certain receipe creating an attractive flavor for this dish. It is eaten with fresh vegetables, cucumber and “bun” to make the dish less bored.
It is really a pity for visitors if they can’t try “banh gia” when visiting Go Cong.
“Chao ca dua”
The river running along two provinces Tien Giang and Long An is the place producing many unique creatures such as “ca dua”, “ca chia voi”, “tom cang xanh”, etc. They are good material to cook very delicious dishes. Visitors can try “chao ca dua” dish of local people when visiting Go Cong.
The sweet flavor of fish with salty and spicy flavors of the sauce combine to a cup of hot mushrooms “chao”. Enjoying “chao ca dua” dish in the windy space of the river is the best.

Giving Can Be A Lot Tastier
I usually spend the weekend at home doing my hobbies. Then I thought of spoiling my sweet tooth with some goodies. 🙂 I found some readily available ingredients in the kitchen and made YEMA. Now I’m thinking of giving some sweets for Christmas. You can prepare your friends’ favorite desserts, wrap them up with your home made gift bags/boxes and voila! You have just shared something really sweet to friends and family on this season of giving!
Below is the recipe I tried tonight. Enjoy! Dare to experiment. Unleash your creativity in everything you do, even if it’s preparing this yummy delight. 🙂


Inside the kitchen of the Pecos Trail dining facility on Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, long rows of white styrofoam food containers are surrounded by a swarm of airmen. They quickly move around the crowded, narrow space, emptying large bowls and trays of hot food into the containers. The meals are then shuffled into insulated boxes, counted and then pushed to the loading dock for delivery.
The fast-moving process is repeated several times until more than 140 meals, along with snacks and drinks, are ready to be picked up and delivered to various locations around Cannon.

I LOVE pizza. Frozen, school cafeteria style, thin, thick, pesto, marina….whatever, pizza has always been good to me.
Ugh I met the first pizza I couldn’t and wouldn’t polish off. It was Alondra’s California Pie. The pizza crust here is always good so I can’t complain about that. But the toppings on this pizza just does not work. There’s a marinara base, mozzarella cheese, small chunks of chicken, pineapple and sesame seeds drenched in soupy teriyaki sauce. YAKI! It was all mush near the center. The marinara and teriyaki didn’t go well and the soupy sauce caused the cheese to get all clumpy and basically fall off as you tried to pick it up.
Alondra’s has some really good food and pizza, this just isn’t one of them.


We already knew that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom includes a pretty major improvement to Breath of the Wild’s cooking systme in the form of recipe cards. But there are some brand new recipes to cook up too, including everyone’s favorite lazy dinner night dish: pizza.
Warning: Minor spoilers for a Tears of the Kingdom sidequest follow the image. Read on at your own risk!
Incredibly, Tears of the Kingdom’s pizza is actually not that easy to make. It consists of wheat, tomato, and cheese, but one ingredient proves particularly difficult: the cheese. Officially, there’s no cheese available in Hyrule when you start the game. You have to head to Hateno Village and complete a questline in order to make it, after which you can buy it and bake some pizza-y goodness any time you like.
What’s even funnier is the content of this sidequest. Essentially, the story is that the mayor of Hateno’s grandfather figured out how to make cheese years ago, but concluded that the people weren’t ready for it. So everyone just somehow forgot cheese existed, and now a woman in Hateno is trying to recreate it and needs your help to effectively invent cheese for the second time ever. Incredible.
Pizza isn’t the only food item you’ll be cooking up in Tears of the Kingdom, even if it might rank among the silliest ones. There are tons of other recipes you can discover, and we have a full guide on the way to help you sort them out.
You can also dive into the rest of our guides content for Tears of the Kingdom, including:

I lurrrrvve apricot balls at Christmas time! You know why they taste so good? Condensed milk, that’s why. That stuff is sugary deliciousness in a tin, don’t even get me started on how good it is if you then boil said tin and make caramel….OMFreakingG!! BUT this year I am going to try & avoid the sugar coma, the extra kg’s and diabetes so if you want to join me, give these babies a crack.
The many nutrients in apricots can help protect the heart and eyes and give you a great dose of fibre. Constipated? Apricots are here to save the day ;) The high beta-carotene content of apricots may help prevent heart disease and vitamin A promotes good vision. Vitamin A is also a powerful antioxidant that helps minimise free radical damage to cells and tissues.
250g sulfur free dried apricots
2 tbs lucuma powder (optional)
1 cup coconut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup lightly toasted pistachios, roughly chopped
Stevia to taste or maple/agave/rice syrup
2 tbs coconut oil
Extra coconut for rolling
In the food processor add apricots, coconut butter, oil, lucuma & stevia and pulse until they are finely diced. Remove from food processor, mix in a bowl with pistachios. Roll into balls and roll in the extra coconut to coat. Store these in the fridge or freezer.

Now I used quinoa for my porridge but you can definately use oats, buckwheat or whatever else you like to make porridge with. This makes 2 large serves. Quinoa is a gluten-free nutritional powerhouse. It is often called a ‘grain’ but it is actually a seed and is pronounced keen-wah. Quinoa is a complete protein source containing 9 essential amino acids and is particularly high in Lysine which is responsible for healthy tissue growth and repair.
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 cups quinoa
1 cup water
3 cups milk of your choice (dairy, soy, coconut, almond)
1 cup chopped dried figs
1/2 cup toasted pistachios
Honey, to serve
In a saucepan, add milk, water and quinoa and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer for about 10 minutes uncovered. Add figs and maple and continue to sir and simmer for about another 5 minutes. Cover with a lid and allow to stand without heat on for 5-10 more minutes. Remove from heat, serve into bowls, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with pistachios. YUM!


What if the pizza company knew before you did that you would be contacting them?
What would this be worth? Targeted marketing like this is a company’s dream. The ability to measure the success of each transaction, low investment, immediate return, pinpoint accuracy.
I will quote Medium, one of the more trusted brands in the digital publishing space to explain how innovative the pizza industry is
“This may seem like a wild idea, but when it comes to corporate innovation, there is one industry that stands head and shoulders above the rest; the pizza industry.
No, this is not a joke.”
Domino’s Pizza lets customers watch their pizza come to life in real-time with Pizza Tracker. I love it personally. Jst because of the technology.
But what if something so simple came along that does what none of this expensive tech does. Something that notifies the pizza company that a potential customer will be engaging with them. Something that allows the pizza company to speak to that customer before they even engage.
At the end of the day, the shareholders want revenue. All the cool tech means little if pizzas are not sold. This is where marketing comes into play. Marketing shares the good news with the market and sells the pizzas. And they would love to know the moment the customer is thinking about their brand, but that is impossible. Or is it?
pkgPlace is looking for a pizza company to partner with. The pizza company stands to gain insight that is near impossible to access today. With that information, the pizza company can also do one-to-one advertising to the individual customers and even integrate this marketing into their app or customer platforms with little ease and little cost.


In our restaurant you get to taste the genuine Tuscan flavors and enjoy the most typical local dishes! As you know, our hotel is entirely family run and we see to everything personally, ensuring a menu made of local, genuine products: home made pasta, local porcini mushrooms, game meat from our own territory (especially wild boar and pheasant) and, above all, the Fiorentina steak, made rigorously of Tuscan Chianina beef.
The fruit and vegetables are always seasonal and bought directly from the local producers, picked and cooked carefully in order to preserve their flavor and freshness.
The menu can always be accompanied with delicious, high-quality Tuscan wines. Murlo is located in a strategic place: not only is it very close to the Chianti wine area, it is also only 10 km from Montalcino, where the prestigious, world famous Brunello wine is produced.
We choose our wines personally and buy them directly from the producers, being therefore able to guarantee the best possible quality at the right price.
During the summer season our restaurant is air conditioned, but it is also possible to have a nice dinner outside on our terrace, enjoying the cool evening breeze.
Our menu varies depending on the season and the flavors and products available at each moment, ensuring the high quality of our dishes. Here we have listed the typical dishes you will most likely find when visiting our restaurant.


Pickles are one of my favourite foods, and I couldn’t wait to introduce them to my Little Bear. There is just one problem with conventional pickles – they are made with vinegar, which doesn’t agree with his little tummy. He is even sensitive to any vinegar that I eat which he receives while breastfeeding. Fermented pickles turned to be the perfect health solution – no vinegar, no sugar, and lots of beneficial probiotics from the fermentation process. They are also incredibly easy to make. Before serving them to my little guy, I just remove any skin or seeds that may be a choking hazard. I also like to add some of the pickle juice to his purees for extra flavour.
What you need:
1 quart mason jar
Dill weed (fresh or dried)
What to do:
Slice cucumbers and put them in the mason jar. Leave one inch of room at the top since fermentation causes expansion. Add 2 Tbsp of dill weed and 2 tbsp of sea salt to jar. Then fill jar with water until it just covers the cucumbers. Put a lid on the jar and cover with a tea towel. Leave on the kitchen counter for three days. After three days, your pickles are done! If there is a little mold floating on the surface, just skim it off. Your pickles will keep in the fridge for several days. (I’m not sure exactly how long they will keep in the fridge because we always eat them so quickly!)
What is your favourite fermented food? I’d love to hear about it!


In my last blog I mentioned that carb intake should be 2 exchanges in every major meal a day. The most common answer to this recommendation is “this is too less...I am going to starve” or “I will feel hungry again within an hour”. That’s where proteins come to the rescue...
The right amount of protein intake in every meal reduces hunger and improves satiety but limits muscle mass loss. Patients with diabetes lose around 1 pound of their muscle mass every year as they age, and eating a diet lower in protein is one of the biggest contributing factors. The body uses more energy to digest protein than it does to digest fat or carbs thus preventing a steady and fast rise in blood glucose level and helps achieve weight loss long-term.
Proteins to the rescue …… again Rice based meals in moderate proportions is fine if accompanied by a healthy proportion of legumes or lean cuts (without skin) of chicken or fish, if such a meal is planned with other fibre rich nutrients like green leafy and non-starchy vegetables.
Proteins are made of different amino acids. Some of these are called "essential" because they are necessary and cannot be made by the body. We need to obtain them from our diet. Complete proteins contain ample amounts of all the essential amino acids and are found in fish, poultry, cheese, eggs, and milk. Incomplete proteins do not contain all of the essential amino acid like protein in grains, legumes, and vegetables.
Although, it might seem like meat eaters are better off than vegetarians, it’s not necessarily true. Even though it is important to consume the essential amino acids, it is not necessary to get them only from animal sources.
Good news for vegetarians...There is a dietary strategy called mutual supplementation in which you combine complementary partially complete protein food to supply adequate amounts of all the essential amino acids. For example - beans and brown rice are both quite rich in protein, each lacks one or more of the essential amino acids. However, when beans are combined with brown rice the result is equivalent to a complete protein that can substitute chicken or meat.
Unlike most beans, soybean products (such as tofu and soymilk) are complete proteins. They contain the essential amino acids. Tofu, soy flour, soy-based meat substitutes, soy cheese, and many other soy products are healthy ways to make a meatless diet ‘nutrient complete’.
Some more combinations that can be tried are: Thick lentil soup with a serving of almonds on the side; kidney beans/pinto beans in a corn tortilla; whole-grain pasta tossed with peas; bean soup with whole grain crackers; corn tortillas with beans and rice, soy curry and rice; milk and oats.
How much protein do I need in a day? It is preferable to calculate daily protein intake for people with diabetes as grams per kilogram of body weight and not as a fixed percentage of total energy intake. People with diabetes should not reduce protein intake to less than 1 g/kg of body weight, while protein intake of 0.8–1 g/kg (of body weight) should be recommended for people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
Try the following options to meet your recommended protein intake:
What was your protein intake yesterday?
As I mentioned, you need 1 gram/ kg body weight of protein (if you weigh 65 kilograms you need 65 grams of protein / day).
If 1 cup milk/ 2 egg whites/ 1 fist size piece of lean chicken or fish/ 1 med bowl of legumes and pulses/ 1 med bowl of thick yoghurt each will give us approximately 7 grams of protein, can you calculate the amount of protein that you consumed yesterday?
Leave the amount of your yesterdays’ protein intake as a comment for me...

Are you wondering what the kids can eat on your trip to Cuba? Cuban food is not world renowned. Chances are you are not traveling here for the gastronomic experience but rather to visit the beautiful beaches. The food at the resorts can be bland and poor quality (although some hotels do of course offer tasty meals).
When you tire of the hotel buffet then check out some of the local restaurants with your family. We have found some of the best food in Cuba to sample when you travel with your kids. If you are traveling with picky eaters, don't worry there is lots of delicious food.
There are not any familiar chain restaurants, however you will find restaurants offering pizza, hamburgers and fries. Pack some familiar snacks from home for the little ones. And you can't go wrong with all that delicious fresh fruit.
A lot of restaurants serve a starter salad of shredded cabbage, carrots, cucumbers and other vegetables, which can be drizzled with oil and vinegar. Many restaurants offer grilled fish, lobster, grilled meats (chicken, beef, pork) and accompanied with rice (white or with black beans) and fries.
You will be able to get fresh fruit juices at most restaurants such as orange, mango and pineapple juices. Domestic soft drinks are available (diet sodas can be hard to find) at usually a lower price then the imported versions. Homogenized boxed milk is available at grocery stores in the tourist areas.
Rice and Beans-This typical Cuban food is served with most meals. The black beans can be cooked and served separately from the rice, or cooked together. My kids loved this!
Grilled Meat (Pork, Beef, Chicken) is often accompanied by a Mojo sauce made of onions, garlic, oil, lime juice and spices.
Roast Pork is delicious. This is slow roasted over charcoal.
Paella is another popular food in Cuba. This dish is made with rice, chicken or pork and seafood. It is seasoned with spices such as paprika and garlic.
Fresh seafood is found in most tourist restaurants and served with the usual sides of rice, fries and salad.
Plantains are often served as a side dish with meals. This banana relative is lightly fried or baked. My children love these!
Ropa Vieja is a traditional food that your kids may enjoy. It is a shredded beef dish that is cooked in a tomato based sauce.
Fruit is one of the highlights of the food in Cuba. Fresh pineapple, papaya, banana, melon and oranges are readily available and often served for breakfast.

LOCALS can expect to increase their knowledge on wine in an exercise that aims to raise the confidence of those working in the hospitality sector.
This as leading wine expert and inaugural member of Australia's First Family of Wines, Peter Barry, visits the country this month.
Local agent Victoria Wines and Spirit said Mr Barry would lead the July wine dinner at Nadi's Sofitel, working closely with executive chef Brendon Coffey to provide an inspiring food wine match using Jim Barry wines.
Mr Barry has focused on the development of export markets during the past 10 years prompting Jim Barry Wines to be available in more than 25 countries across the world, Victoria Wines said.
Mr Barry's involvement in the wine industry started in 1977 when he joined his pioneer, wine-making father, Jim, as a cellar hand.
His focus for the past 10 years has been on the development of export markets, making Jim Barry Wines available in about 25 countries around the world, with 50 per cent of total production destined for international markets, Victoria Wines and Spirit said in a statement.

Make Dining Part of Your Branson, Missouri Experience
Regardless of whether you’re going to Branson, Missouri for shows and shopping, or theme parks and lake activities, everyone eventually needs to refuel, re-energize and relax. What better place to kick back and unwind than at one of the many great restaurants the Branson area has to offer. You’ll find a wide variety of restaurants for every taste, from national chains (such as the Olive Garden and Red Lobster) to treasured local favorites (such as Granny’s Restaurant and McFarlain’s).
Discover Branson, Missouri awesome outdoor lifestyle
For those who don’t know, Branson has a residential population of approximately 7,000 and an annual tourist population of more than 7,000,000. With that in mind, it is easy to imagine the diverse selection of restaurant choices available to area visitors (and the lucky residents). So whether you’re looking for a fine dining restaurant experience, a casual family buffet, or just some really fast food, you’ll find it all in Branson, Missouri.
Due to the high tourist volume, it’s best to plan your vacation ahead of time; this includes deciding where to eat. You should consider consulting a Branson, Missouri restaurant guide to gather information on area restaurants to help make your dining as memorable and enjoyable as your other vacation activities. One such website where you can find an assortment of information and even customer reviews is DineBranson.com.
Here is a quick FYI; there aren’t many restaurants in Branson that accept reservations, some, but not many. Generally, the only exception to this is in the case of large groups, so it is beneficial to groups to make a reservation or you just may end up having to change your dining plans. And depending on the size of your group, you may want to be sure the restaurant has the capacity to handle you.
Also, keep in mind there are numerous bus tours that go to Branson every day, so with that said, depending on the time of year, expect a wait at most of the more popular eating establishments. If you are a little impatient (or just really hungry), you might want to opt for one of the many great buffets Branson is famous for. Just be sure to take a little time researching your dining options before you go so that you don’t miss out on a delicious meal like seafood, steak, or BBQ just to name a few. Whatever and wherever you choose to eat, I hope you enjoy your Branson vacation.

By Arturo Galindo, Cert. Nutritional Therapist
There are plenty of vitamin C sources in plants and fruits. And one of the best ways to give your body a lot of vitamin C is juicing your fruits and vegetables. Want better health? Softer skin? Lose weight?
You need to identify the foods rich in vitamin C that are best for you.
These vitamin c sources will deliver a variety of nutrients to your body.. and help you reduce your risk of a vitamin C deficiency.
In this article, I list the sources of vitamin C that are high in ascorbic acid. And I share a few tips on how you can give your body lost of vitamin C from food sources fast with lots of other nutrients through juicing.
All experts agree that we all need variety in our diets. But each person is different. What works for one person may not work for you. This is true even if the other person is someone in your own family with similar genes.
That’s why is important to find what works for you. A critical thing to understand is that you’re not doomed by your genes.
Research shows that your genes can make you feel good or bad. And external factors can affect your genes and DNA, and thus how you fee. This includes the food you eat, your habits, your environment, and your stress levels .
Your genes do not control your health. You’re not a victim of heredity. You have control.
Now, on to the vitamin c sources in food. Many vegetables and fruits contain high amounts of vitamin C.
Here's a list of foods with high content of ascorbic acid.
Juicing is one of the best ways to give your body larger amounts of vitamin c fast. It can also help you lose weight, while at the same time providing plenty of other nutrients to your body.
You can blend a couple of carrots and get the nutrients from 2 carrots in one glass. But you can juice 10 carrots and get the nutrients from 10 carrots in the same glass.
I’ve been juicing for over 7 years now. During that time, I’ve lost about 30 pounds and I have kept my weight at that level. And I still eat all the food I like.
I juice in the morning and drink it while I drive to work. Keep on reading, I share below some tips on how you can juice some of the best vitamin c sources in food.
Note that juicing is not the same as blending.
When you blend food, a blender is doing the “chewing” for you. It does not remove anything from the vegetables or fruits that you put into it. When you drink a smoothie, your body needs to work to separate the nutrients from the fiber to feed your body cells.
In other words: You are not what you eat. You are what your cells absorb from what you eat.
When you use a juicer, the juicer separates the juice with the nutrients from the fiber. Your body does not have to do that work. The juicer does the work that your digestive system does when you chew your food.
Your body absorbs the juice from the juicer quicker and using less energy. And your cells can have lots of nutrients fast.
The result? Your body works less. You lose weight. And your body is well nourished and better prepared to handle challenges.
Here are some tips that I’ve learned over the years about juicing:
