Summer recipes with Rose and Muškatna sparkling
A glass of well-cooled sparkling wine or mixed drink is a unique refreshment for all who know how to enjoy life in hot summer days. Especially the sparkling wine is a great aperitif because of the bubbles which are stimulating the appetite. Therefore, the sparkling wine is a great companion for picnics, family and friends’ gatherings, that are extremely common in summer. You can serve them in glasses for white wines, but above all make it sure, you serve it well chilled.
Mojito gin fizz:
Ingredients you need for preparation:
- Sparkling Rose Jeruzalem Ormož
- Lime peel
- Ice cubes
Mix 4-5 leaves of the mint and the lime peel with 1 tablespoon of sugar and crush them well. When the mint is crushed and the sugar is colored, a little more sugar can be added. Stir and let the mint-sugar dry a little.
With mint sugar, we decorate the edges of the glass. Dip the edge of the glass into water, then into mint sugar. Put ice, fruit, ¼ teaspoons of mint sugar into the glass, and pour over the gin, and then the sparkling Rose Jeruzalem Ormož. Why sparkling wine Jeruzalem Ormož? Because it is light and perfectly coincides with gin and it has an intense bouquet of berries and cranberries. Let's offer it as an aperitif.
Strawberries with Chantilly cream:
Ingredients for strawberry part
- 500g of strawberries
- 2dcl of Muškatna sparkling wine Jeruzalem Ormož
- 2 spoons of sugar
- 1 pack of powder for cake dressing (13g)
Ingredients for Chantilly cream:
- 2 dcl of whipping cream
- 1 spoon of powder sugar
- 1 vanilla stroke
- Spoon of sugar
- 4-5 mint leaves
Clean the strawberries, cut into larger pieces, add a spoon of sugar and start to heat on low heat. Mix the contents of the cake dressing bag with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 3 tablespoons of water. Strawberries, which are likely to drop some liquid, remove from the heat, add the sparkling wine and immediately add the mixture for the dressing. Reheat all together again only so that "gelatin" dissolves and connects everything together. The mixture must not boil! Put the strawberries into glasses. The ingredient is enough for 4-6 glasses. Cool in the refrigerator.
While the strawberries are cooled and all squeezed a little, we prepare the sprinkling. We throw a mint or. crush with sugar. Leave the mint sugar to dry slightly. Add the spoonful of powdered sugar and vanilla seeds and stir everything together.
With the help of a shirted bag, spray the cream on strawberry jelly and sprinkled it with mint sugar on top. Serve it chilled.

It’s easy to dismiss Kombucha as just another trendy health beverage, but you’d be surprised at how much of the good stuff it contains.

Kombucha hasimmune-boosting minerals, such as zinc and copper, which enhance your body’s metabolic functions. It also contains iron, which allows hemoglobin to transport oxygen into the bloodstream efficiently, as well as manganese, which supports bone and mental health.
Kombucha contains amino acids which are the building blocks of protein. Protein supports the body’s repair function, as well as promote muscle growth and fat synthesis.
Energy-giving and brain-regulating B vitamins, such as B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacinamide), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyradoxine), B9 (Folic Acid), and B-12 are all present in kombucha.

Green beans are a real hometown favorite - did you know today's 'stringless' green beans were pioneered by Calvin Keeney in Leroy, NY in 1894? They've gained in popularity since then, becoming a favorite of growers and families worldwide. They prove to be a good source of Vitamin C and K (potassium), as well as silicon, which helps promote bone health and healthy formation of connective tissue.

If you are using the Disney Dining Plan and want to make the most out of your snack credit consider taking a trip to Downtown Disney to Goofy’s Candy Co. The store is colorful and full of candy and baked goods. My family has had a fun time lately creating different cake pops. On my last visit in February 2012, I had to purchase a Mickey Mouse Cake Pop and it was delightful and a great way to use a snack credit. Retail without a snack credit is $4.95.
The Create-Your-Own-Treat option at Goofy’s Candy Co. used to be part of the snack credit but is no longer offered. However, it makes for a great treat. My daughter and I each did a rice krispie treat covered with many items and it took us days to eat. It is definitely a good bang for your buck.
To create your own:
Choose the base of your treat:specialty apple, three pretzel rods, four marshmallows, a gingerbread Mickey cookie, a Mickey Krispy Rice treat, or a fudge cookie (with vanilla, chocolate or peanut butter filling).
Next: Select your favorite dipping flavor:: white chocolate, dark chocolate or milk chocolate.
The best part is to now add your toppings. A few available include: Sprinkles, peanut butter chips, chopped peanuts, chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, cinnamon & sugar, dark & white chocolate chips, crushed Oreo cookie crumbs, crushed Butterfinger, Reese’s Pieces, coconut, graham cracker crumbs or mini M&Ms.
Last but not least: Have it drizzled with your favorite topping.milk chocolate, white chocolate or dark chocolate.

Sunday – Thursday: 9:00 a.m to 10:30 p.m.

Hidden away in the heart of the lush Balinese jungle, a remarkable dining experience awaits those seeking to connect with nature while savoring exquisite cuisine. The architects behind this visionary project have crafted a dining masterpiece that transcends conventional design boundaries, offering patrons a unique and immersive experience in a setting that beautifully marries modern elegance with the timeless beauty of the natural world.
The Cocoon: A Canopy Above the Treetops
Towering majestically above the treetops, the spacious semi-opened ‘cocoon’ structure serves as the centerpiece of this extraordinary dining destination. It’s a place where guests can truly dine amidst the jungle, enjoying the symphony of nature while indulging in culinary delights. The architects have perfectly aligned this cocoon with the surrounding environment, ensuring that it enhances rather than detracts from the breathtaking views of the jungle.
The choice of natural-tone materials infuses the space with a sense of timelessness, creating a radiant ambiance that complements the lush greenery that envelops the restaurant. Here, it’s not just about dining; it’s about forging a connection with the environment.
Bamboo Arch Beauty: The Roof Design
One of the most captivating features of this architectural marvel is its roof design, which pays homage to traditional Balinese building techniques. Massive bamboo arches, gracefully curving and reaching for the sky, form the structural backbone of the roof. Covered in sirap wood, these arches not only provide stability but also add a touch of rustic charm to the contemporary setting.
This blend of the old and the new is a testament to the architects’ commitment to preserving the rich cultural heritage of Bali while infusing modernity into the design.
The Heart of the Culinary Experience: The Open Kitchen
Central to the dining experience is the open kitchen, thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in the culinary journey. At its core is a central cooking fire, reminiscent of age-old cooking traditions that have been a part of Indonesian culture for generations. This authentic approach aligns perfectly with the restaurant’s concept, which is centered around fine Indonesian-inspired healthy food with a twist.
What truly sets this kitchen apart is its dedication to using organic vegetables grown in the resort’s very own garden, alongside locally sourced ingredients. This commitment to sustainability and authenticity ensures that every dish served is a celebration of Indonesia’s rich culinary heritage and a testament to the importance of responsible dining practices.
The Balinese Cocoon Restaurant isn’t just a place to eat; it’s an immersive journey into the heart of Balinese culture and nature. The architects have masterfully blended traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, resulting in a space that pays homage to its surroundings while offering a one-of-a-kind dining experience. For those seeking to dine in harmony with the jungle’s beauty, this restaurant is a true sanctuary, where every meal is a celebration of Indonesia’s culinary and natural treasures.

So, this post may not be exactly what it should be but bear with me. Last Sunday morning, Granny died. I know it hasn't sunk in yet. I keep thinking that it didn't happen. It's really very strange. I know that she had a small stroke in December, but she didn't have any real issues with that. There was no paralysis, her speech was slightly affected but not slurred, her word-finding was the problem but within a few days, it was back on track. They did surgery to unblock her carotid artery and she was back to being Granny again. So, although people say "she was old" and "she lived a good life", while that's all well and true, it wasn't time. I don't believe it. I just had lunch at Arby's with her on Wednesday and she gave me a birthday card. It was expected but not expected, you know? I don't know when it will sink in. I did not like the funeral (well, who does though?). I did not like seeing my Granny laying there. I was very sad. I am very sad but I'm not sad like last week. I'm sad but I feel more confused because even though I sometimes can be smart, I don't believe this happened. It just seems weird that I'll never, ever see her again. To me, right now, that's not right. So, to wrap my head around this and to maybe stop rambling on and on, I am going to make "Granny Lists." The first one is what she ate at restaurants. I'm so afraid I'll forget everything.
What Granny Ate
- Arby's - Back in the old days, it was the Ham and Cheese sandwich, then it became chicken strips, and most recently a Jr. Roast Beef with Arby's Sauce, curly fries and Pepsi
- Big Boy - Slim Jim combination, no lettuce on the sandwich, fries and coleslaw
- Taco Bell - 2 soft taco supremes
- Wendy's - She used to get a Single with cheese, mayo, tomato and onion, fries and a Pepsi. More recently she got chicken nuggets with BBQ sauce, fries and a Pepsi
- Bob Evan's - Years ago she would always get the Chicken 'n' Noodles, more recently is was breakfast: The Homestead with scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage patties and biscuits and gravy
- Leo's - Usually breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled, sausage patties, hash browns and white toast
- Cracker Barrell - The Old Timer's Breakfast with 2 eggs scrambled, sausage patties, hashbrown casserole, and biscuits with gravy, no grits. For dinner she sometimes got the Country Vegetable plate with dumplings, coleslaw, hasbrown casserole and macaroni and cheese
- O'Charley's - Chicken fingers dinner
- Herc's (VERY old) - Salisbury Steak, a piece of custard pie
- Mark's Coney Island - Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled, baked ham, hash browns, white toast. Lunch: Coney burger and fries (a LONG time ago)
One of the funny things Granny did with her food was when she would eat a french fry, she would not eat the ends. So, at the end of a meal, there would be all of these little pieces of ends of french fries. I never understood why but I thought it was cute.

There also aren't any calories in water, so it helps your body lose weight. Drinking sodas or sugary juices just add more calories to your daily intake.
Weight loss can be achieved through a reduced intake of calories. If you substitute heavier calorie foods/drinks for nearly identical ones but with less calories, you will find that your weight goes down. For example, drink diet/light drinks instead of regular drinks and eat frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.
Eat more beans. Protein is great for your body when you are exercising and trying to lose weight. Meats are high is protein, but they can also be quite expensive. Beans are a great alternative. They are high in protein, inexpensive, and very filling. They also contain less fat than most meats.

One great weight loss tip for someone with a busy schedule is to buy bagged, cut up vegetables such as carrots and broccoli. They are easy to grab as a healthy snack on the go or to put into salads for a meal. The best part is that they are fresh and have not been frozen or cooked.
If you want to lose weight, a great thing to do is find substitutes for foods you already enjoy. For instance, if you love ice cream but are on a diet, try frozen yogurt or even regular yogurt. Instead of drinking cream in your coffee, try a non-dairy creamer. This will give you the feeling that you are still enjoying food; just in a healthier way.
Figure out which foods to avoid when trying to lose weight. Write down all you eat and how you feel about it. You figure out what causes you to overeat and you can figure out what needs to be changed.

Yo-yo dieting is indeed a big issue when it comes to nutrition, a lot of people end up there, and it’s usually why they never really get to where they’re going. The classic Instagram picture of a circular cycle in where someone starts working out, then they lose 5 or 10lbs, receive some compliments from friends about it, feel great about it so thy decide to treat themselves, that treat turns into an entire binge, and then they’re right back to where they started.
“Treat days” or whatever you’d like to call it can hold their place in any diet, whether it’s a re-feed of more carbohydrates in a given 24 hour period, or just simply a little snack or treat to keep your mental sanity above water. But the biggest problem people will run into is giving themselves too many treat or cheat days, and then continuing to justify to themselves that, “Oh it’s my cheat day” when in actuality they haven’t eaten good food in a few days. It’s a vicious cycle and can tear a lot of progress down in a hurry whether it be physical – or mental.
There is no one size fits all for dieting, as there will not be a one size fits all for this question either. Below here is a list of things that you can try that may help with those times when all you want to do is polish off an entire jar of peanut butter, or head to BK and order 3 Whoppers. Hope this helps!
– Add healthy fats in each meal
– Eat a balanced diet of Macros (make sure to hit your protein as it keeps you full longer too!)
– Organize and prepare healthy snacks (don’t buy/have bad foods in your house or they’ll get eaten)
– Figure out your trigger foods (usually high in sugar, processed, fat, salty foods)
– Try not to have your trigger foods in your house. This can be a hard one as usually they’re tempting to buy at the store, and you tell yourself you’ll eat handfuls here and there and not binge this time. Once you start eating it once again you won’t be able to stop and eat the whole bag. It’s just best to not have it in your house. When it’s out of site it’s out of mind you won’t actually crave it.
– Try not to restrict yourself too much with your macros, still incorporate a meal out with friends, or a treat here and there so that you mentally don’t feel like you’re on a strict diet.
– Try to stop mid-binge if it happens. Stop at 5 cookies instead of the whole pack… stop at 4 tbsp of PB instead of half the jar… If you are mid-binge and realize you need to stop but can’t just toss it all in the garbage at that point!
– Eat BEFORE going to occasions or potlucks. Doesn’t have to be a huge meal before, but something to keep you fuller and not wanting to eat everything and anything!
– Identify the difference between indulging/treating yourself and binging. It is okay to treat yourself here and there, but not okay to full out eat everything in sight.
– Find healthier alternatives to your cravings- protein treats such as baking, waffles/pancakes, rice cakes, fruit, healthier chips/popcorn, sugar free treats
– Save macros for night/bed time to eat a good high protein meal in order to go to bed feeling full and satisfied
– Eat tons of veggies/a huge salad! Tons of volume for food without taking up too many calories
– Pickles save me when I’m craving something sweet or salty
– Adding spice/hot sauce into my foods makes me crave sweets less
– If you binge- do not overwork yourself in the gym and restrict calories the next day. This is what causes the negative yo-yo cycle of binging

Looks beautiful paired with the wooden soft cheese or butter board which is enhanced with the use of three inviting tones: a natural tone, a warmer toasted tone, and dark chocolate tone.

Caring for Your Cheese Board
As with any wooded kitchen item that is used for serving food, handwashing with a mild soap and water is recommended. You should not put your cheese board in the dishwasher,or soak in water as this can destroy the finish and warp the board. To keep your cheese board looking new, you can periodically polish the board with a soft clean cloth and a food grade mineral oil or a combination of mineral oil and beeswax (food grade). We also recommend cutting your food items on a cutting board and then placing them on the cheese board, as cutting directly on the cheese board will score the surface.
We also carry Imported Serving Boards*


After tasting Mexican food paired with Tequila, nothing will taste the same for you…
If you are a unique culinary experience lover, prepare your taste to reach a new higher level of flavor. It is not a new thing to taste or ingest two different foods to get a better flavor. Many people are used to doing this thanks to the wine pairing. Actually, it is the most famous of all, but did you know that you can also pair your food with tequila? Even though these combinations are relatively new, pairing Mexican food with tequila has become a very popular habit in recent years.
what kind of dishes may I pair with tequila? To answer this question, it is important to remember you that there are different tequila styles, such as “blanco”, “reposado”, “añejo”, etcetera. If you want to know more about them, you should read the blog entry “Different tequila styles” Now, we are sharing with you our greatest secrets to do Mexican food more delicious with a tequila glass. Pairing with “blanco” tequila Due to its freshness and its agave plant flavor, it is perfect to be paired with fish and seafood. An incredible idea would be to pair a delicious “Vallarta ceviche” (chopped onion, tomato and other species with fish or seafood mix) with a delicious Jose Cuervo Tradicional Plata tequila. other kind of food that can be paired with this tequila are tuna fish and octopus. The real star for this style of pairing is citric and fresh food. Pairing with “Reposado” Tequila Through the time in the barrel, this kind of tequila gets some vanilla, nuts, anise and wooden flavors. This way, soft meat such as chicken, turkey, fish, etcetera, get a new flavor at combining them with Jose Cuervo Tradicional tequila. If you want to taste, even more, do not doubt about a “Mole” (chocolate and chili pepper mix with chicken or meat). This type of tequila will emphasize the ingredients’ flavor. A completely new experience for your palate.
Old tequila pairing There is no doubt that talking about Mexican food, this is one of the favorite types of tequila to pair due to its wooden and caramel flavors. This is ideal to drink with Mexican desserts, especially the ones with chocolate. Now that you know some of the best-kept secrets of pairing with tequila, you may be asking… Where can I find a dinner to pair with tequila? As we told you, despite this kind of pairing is becoming popular around Mexico, the best place to taste this delicious and unique way of eating Mexican food paired with the best tequila is Tequila Pueblo Magico. In this beautiful town, you will be able to find very famous restaurants as “La Antigua Casona” and “Hotel Villa Tequila Restaurant”, where you will enjoy the traditional Mexican food with the most extended menu of Jose Cuervo Tequilas.

This post is brought to you by Activate by Bloglovin and ShopRite. All opinions are mine alone.
Meal prepping was always a foreign thing to me. I was never someone who could even consider prepping due to my chaotic schedule having had worked nights and weekends for so long. Recently meal prep has become much easier for me to do for the family. Mainly because since I last posted I got a new job and got off of nights at the hospital! I will explain the whole thing later because it was a big change that was a long time coming. I can’t explain how happy I am having a normal life now with a new job that operates in the daylight and on weekdays. The thing is, meal prep in general has always seemed daunting and I’m not into anything that requires more than a few minutes of thought and/or standing. I’m admittedly lazy. As the saying goes, “I will always choose a lazy man to do a hard job because a lazy man will find an easy way to do it.” Give it to a lazy mom and it will be done the easiest way humanly possible. I figured out the key to getting this done in under an hour.
The hardest part is planning. I swear. I hate cooking so I can promise this honestly. I’m not one of those “I’ll whip up lemon blueberry scones because it’s a Sunday morning” kind of girls.
You need a plan. You need five minutes to yourself with an old napkin from your purse or your cell phone while hiding from the kids in the bathroom to just get it down. This list will provide you with a fool-proof meal planning process to have lunches and dinners for you and hubs done for the week. Yes, you will probably have to make the kids peanut-free-peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but if you’re creative you might be able to figure out how to work that in too.
I’ll keep this simple. Easy steps.
- Think about protein first. For example, we are generally a very low carb family around here, so I go for the obvious, chicken. I like fatty cuts of meat because A. they’re filling and B. they’re cheap. So the first on my list were chicken thighs, chicken legs. Then I added steak, burgers, sausage and shrimp. Make a list of simple, one step sides. Our go to’s are sauteed spinach, roasted carrots, any veggies on the grill, zucchini noodles, and the kid-friendly (not-low-carb) staple of mac-and-cheese.
- You want to get enough meat or fish for eight meals. I know, “Eight Days a Week” is a great song but there’s only seven days. I’m not crazy, just do it.
- Think flavors. I get bored with food flavors. I like Mexican and Italian best so those are always on my lists. I have most of these seasonings at home but if you don’t, make a list of the staple seasonings you might need. Keep it simple (these are just ideas- play as you please)…Italian: basil, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, Mexican: cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, Indian: coriander, curry powder, turmeric, cardamom, for kicks my go to roasting seasoning: rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, lemon (fresh is best).
- Go shopping. I had some of this stuff at home already but I needed to go shopping for the couple things I was out of.
Luckily, I recently got the opportunity to shop for my meal planning at ShopRite of Southington at 750 Queen Street, to check out their store and to try out their Wholesome Pantry brand. This brand is 100% USDA certified organic and free of 110 artificial ingredients, including sucralose, nitrates, artificial colors and 107 other crappy ingredients I can barely pronounce. I’m not as insanely strict about my food as I used to be because…toddlers. Let’s be real, dino nuggets are a food group around here, but I want to get back to it and they offer a long list of options that make for easy (and cheap) swaps to my chemical-laden staples.
While I was there I also picked up my regular lunchtime snacks now all organic, Wholesome Pantry brand. I got whole milk greek yogurt (which I was jumping up and down for because it’s impossible to find- who wants 0% fat?! Not this girl), locally-harvested honey, natural peanut butter, banana chips, fruit for smoothies and chocolate covered almonds.
I was surprised to find the local honey and started looking around and found ravioli from East Haven, local veggies from all over the state and got talking to Tony of Candlewood Coffee, a coffee company out of Brookfield. While sipping some of their Jamaica U Crazy flavored coffee we chatted about how he got their product into the store. ShopRite is a CT-owned and operated business that offers some really cool opportunities to small businesses around the state. Different from bigger box stores or franchised supermarkets, the supermarkets are owned by families here, in CT. They carry a lot of local produce and products because the owners, the Drust Family, at this Southington location, encourage local vendors to sell product in their stores. He actually just called up Donald Drust Sr. and asked for a meeting and the rest was history.
Sipping my coffee, I caught a whiff of a batch of doughnuts from the bakery and remembered that I was there to shop and not chat. I was quickly and sadly reminded with the smell of sugar that I was there for healthy stuff and not what was being decorated in my presence.
Truth be told I may have picked up a couple doughnuts while I was there. My reasons were these, I’m eating really healthy this week, I have toddlers, and the bakery at this ShopRite is out of this world. They make salted caramel doughnuts and Oreo-cream-filled ones. Need I say more?! They also offer tiered cakes that I was seriously eyeing but I was afraid my husband would kill me so I rolled on by.
Of course I was asked to visit on the day of a catering expo, so being health conscious as I try to be I attempted to stick to the Greek Salad they had to sample. Lobster calls to me, I’m CT born-and-raised, so I couldn’t help it. I tried that too. I got myself out with only a few spoonfuls of seafood salad. I may have cut in front of an elderly woman to grab a second (okay third) sample. I wish I was joking.
I hurried my healthy choices to the checkout and got home to prep. Here’s where the magic happens.
This is the key that has made my life infinitely easier. I ONLY PREP TWO LUNCHES.
Hear me out. I didn’t just scam you I promise.
Stick that meal list on your fridge.
The key is to take out one of the proteins that you have on there twice. I will always have chicken on my list two times. I got thighs so I separated them into two pyrex baking dishes and seasoned.
I seasoned one of the chicken dishes with Italian seasoning (a generous sprinkle of garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt and pepper and a small drizzle of olive oil- I would have put dried basil as well but I had fresh so I used it at the end) and halved cherry tomatoes.
For the other meal I had planned (low carb/keto cobb salad) I used salt, pepper, a touch of onion powder and a little powdered mustard.
I baked both in the same oven at 375 degrees F for about an hour (my oven is ancient so just keep checking yours for done-ness).
Once those were in I got to work.
The key here is to prep by time. What I mean is don’t do anything that takes too long.
I threw eggs in to boil for the salad and for breakfasts or a quick snack. I live on hard boiled eggs. My new co-workers must love me.
I wanted bacon but it wasn’t defrosted in time, if it was I would’ve put it on the griddle and proceeded to chop all my vegetables for the salads.
If I had a spiralizer I would’ve done that too. Luckily I found pre-spiralized zucchini to save some time.
I then prepped the kids lunches and pre-packaged snacks to grab and throw in for the week. I gave them some of the yogurt too with the Wholesome Pantry granola, which I conveniently call vanilla pudding with cereal because my big guy “doesn’t like it if it’s not a squeeze”.
Believe it or not, I then sat my butt on the couch with a glass of wine and watched the first half of the season premiere of “Fear the Walking Dead” until the chicken was done.
When it beeped I threw the zucchini in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and garlic that I chopped earlier, warmed it through as the chicken cooled.
When that was finished I took all my pre-prepped ingredients and assembled in small glass dishes and put it in the fridge for the next two days of lunches for hubs and I.
“NOW WAIT, YOU SAID A WEEK!” I hear you screaming at your computer…
You do have your meals prepped, since everything is predetermined on your list, now dinner leftovers become lunches.
Let me explain. So Monday and Tuesday’s lunches are done on Sunday. This means that Monday night’s dinner (whatever you chose- becomes Wednesday’s lunch). The two day window gives you a day of lazy leeway for when you feel like making eggs or a bowl of Corn Flakes for dinner. The next day isn’t ruined with take out from the local pizza restaurant for lunch. Your meals are all healthy (mostly) and you never have to try and gnaw Sunday night’s meal prep (that is now more cardboard than chicken) on Thursday.
Here’s what my meal plan looked like…including accounting for my insanely picky children who’ve ruined my diet for far too long in parenthesis.
Lunches: Italian chicken with zoodles, Keto Cobb salad
M- Flank steak with chimichurri and spinach *it rained so we had omelets
T- Roasted chicken legs with asparagus and carrots (with mac and cheese)
W- Burgers with avocado and egg on mixed greens (on a bun with veggie sticks for kids)
Th- Shrimp scampi with something green (spinach or broccoli) (nugget night for kids)
F- Sausage and peppers (with pasta)
Sat- Naked chicken fajitas
Sunday plan again!
You can do this.
The Wholesome Pantry brand chicken legs are $2.00/lb. You can make a meal for two adults and two toddlers including enough for leftovers for a little under $5.00, that is healthier and tastes better than cafeteria food for cheaper. I missed buying organic for a long time because of the cost. ShopRite makes it easy to get the quality you feel good about eating and giving to your kids for a comparable price to the not-so-healthy versions. Meal prepping can be super easy and doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice quality, healthy food, or your whole day for it.
What do you think? Will this change how you meal prep? Let me know! Also if you’re interested in recipes let me know in the comments!

10 Nutrition Trends in 2021
The year 2020 brought hardships and change for many people around the globe, and our everyday habits and behaviours have dramatically shifted.
Our priorities have changed as well, with many
people focusing more on their health and well-being, including what they eat.
As a result, food and health culture have changed.
A quarter of the way through 2021, we’re seeing these changes come to fruition. With many industry experts
expecting massive change, you may wonder what the rest of 2021 has in store.
As part of your Regency for Expats Health Insurance, you get access to fully qualified, professional nutritionists.
They will help guide, assist, inform and recommend the foods you should be
eating. Whether that be as part of a fitness goal, new lifestyle changes or to
boost your immune system, the team are on hand to help you along the way.
Here are the 10 top food and nutrition trends
expected in 2021.
As Hippocrates once said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Though this
statement is controversial, its essence rings true today — eat foods that
nourish you both physically and mentally.
Due to the significant impact of COVID-19 on
many people’s physical and mental well-being, there’s growing interest
in eating foods that serve health-related purposes.
Foods won’t just be valued
for staving off hunger pains. The future of food and drink will take cues from
the supplement market, calling attention to the roles that specific ingredients
play in improving overall health and well-being.
COVID-19 was a reminder that health is transient
and can change at any time. For many, this led to looking for products that
could support a healthy immune system to better prepare them for
According to Market Research, over 50% of consumers reported taking more supplements to support
their immune health in 2020.
This growing interest in immune health will
continue to be a top focus of the health and wellness industry in 2021. Rather
than focusing on treating conditions, many consumers will strive to prevent
them via a strengthened immune system.
In response to this, the food industry will take
notes from the supplement industry by creating products with added nutrients
that may support immune function and overall health, such as zinc, selenium,
vitamin C, and vitamin D.
Alternative remedies have and are expected to continue to increase in sales in 2021. Elderberry, echinacea,
astragalus, turmeric, and ginger are some of the top selling herbal supplements
claimed to help boost your immune system.
Furthermore, purpose-driven ingredients are predicted to be at the forefront of the food industry. Examples of this
include adding olive or flax oil containing Omega 3 and 9 fats to support heart
health, vitamin C in berries or oranges to boost the immune system, or
probiotics in kombucha to promote a healthy digestive system. While supplements
can be an efficient way to deliver powerful nutrients to the body, they can
also be hard on the pocketbook. The good news is that whole food is still the
best place to get your nutrients, and consumers will be encouraged to further
their personal nutrition knowledge to understand what foods can have the
biggest impact on their bodies.
Though these products will create buzz in the
health and wellness industry, the research behind them is lacking. To date,
there are no proven foods, nutrients, herbs, or other supplements that will
prevent or cure an illness, such as COVID-19.
Mental health has also become a priority
for many people.
While food alone cannot treat or cure
depression, anxiety, or stress, eating a mostly minimally processed diet rich
in a variety of nutrients and lower in sugars may help support your mental
Diets rich in antioxidants, vitamins (e.g., B
vitamins), minerals (e.g., zinc, magnesium), fiber, healthy fats (e.g.,
omega-3s), and other bioactive compounds, such as probiotics that support gut
health, have been linked to better mental well-being, though higher quality
studies are needed.
In 2021, we’ll notice more
food and beverage companies coming out with products that contain these ingredients with an emphasis on reducing
stress and improving sleep, which is also linked to better mental health.
In particular, functional beverages that contain
stress-reducing compounds, such as adaptogens — substances that can help your
body adapt to stress — and cannabidiol (CBD), the non-psychoactive part of the
cannabis plant, will increase in popularity.
For example, Four Sigmatic’s Mushroom Hot Chocolate contains an adaptogen known as reishi, which may induce
calmness to help you sleep better and lower occasional stress.
While taking these products may reduce stress
and support your mental well-being, a particular diet should never replace
prescription medications or other treatment methods, such as therapy. Rather,
your diet should be one piece of the puzzle to better mental health.
Food with a purpose
An increasing number of consumers are looking to
support local companies with a backstory and purpose rather than large
In fact, according to Kantar’s COVID-19 Barometer, 52% of respondents stated they pay more attention to the origin of
their products, with a focus on buying locally.
The pandemic shutdowns gave many people a
renewed appreciation of their local community, especially the food purveyors —
grocery stores, farmers markets, and restaurants — that kept food on our
Going forward, there will be a growing interest
in purchasing and consuming locally grown food. It supports the local economy,
is generally fresher and more nutrient dense, and has less of an
Many consumers are also interested in learning a company’s backstory, such as a multigenerational family-run business.
Companies should focus on the meaning behind
their products and give consumers a reason to purchase their products over
those of their competitors.
For many, nice packaging alone no longer makes a
product appealing, but rather the impact of purchasing it.
Echoing the benefits of localism, diets are expected to shift to include more environmentally friendly, sustainable food
Rather than fighting between the two extreme
spectrums (i.e., vegan vs. meat-eaters), many people will mostly focus on foods
that have the lowest climate impact.
For example, diets may involve a lower or more
conscious intake of animal products without eliminating them entirely. Instead,
consumers may choose animal products with a lower environmental footprint, and
swap conventionally raised beef or chicken for meat that is grass finished and
raised on local, small farms.
What’s more, consumers may choose to buy
locally grown produce and animal-based products to lower carbon emissions
caused by long-distance food delivery.
The goal of the climatarian diet is not an
all-or-nothing approach, but rather to make small changes that collectively as
a society make a large difference. Many popular documentaries on streaming
services are contributing to the distribution of information regarding food and
climate. It is up to the discerning consumer to do their research behind claims
in order to make the best decision they can for their food choices.
For many people, the days of the extremes are
over. In 2021, a large shift to the middle of the road is expected.
Trying to convince a meat-eater to go vegan is a
big feat, but meeting them somewhere in the middle may be easier.
Rather than trying to convince omnivores to
ditch meat and animal products entirely, there will be a growing push to reduce
the intake of animal products. Interestingly, up to 60% of millennials are interested
in adopting a flexitarian diet, according to Statista.
Consumers may look to swap a few meat-based
meals for plant-based ones each week. Alternatively, they may decrease the
portion of animal products in their recipes and add more plant-based
Companies will continue to promote plant-based
products but also develop products that contain higher amounts of plant-based
ingredients and lower amounts of animal-based ones to help customers find a
middle ground. This trend is being reflected in major grocery centres such as
Tesco, and brands are getting creative with developing more plant-based
alternatives such as plant-based sea foods,icecreams, and meat alternatives.
7. Diet culture overhaul
Many people are getting tired of expensive diets
and gimmicky supplements that promise big results but don’t deliver. In
2021, it’s likely that restrictive diets and weight loss programs will fall
out of favour as people seek a more balanced approach to health instead.
Popular diets, such as keto, Whole30, paleo, and
F-Factor, have been heavily criticised for their extreme restrictions that aren’t sustainable or enjoyable.
Thanks to more nutrition and health
professionals growing large audiences on social media, we’re starting to see
popular — albeit bogus — supplements becoming passé. Rather than taking handfuls of supplements, we’re seeing a shift toward whole, natural foods.
In addition, more people are embracing eating
styles that welcome all foods in moderation, as most people don’t want to avoid chocolate for the rest of their life. Instead,
people are starting to embrace other important aspects of food, such as
tradition, culture, and enjoyment.
We’re seeing a trend toward happiness, strength, and vitality over
attaining impossible standards of beauty à la Photoshop and FaceTune. Finally,
an increasing number of people will aim to prioritize health instead of a
number on the scale or their jean size.
Consumers will seek products from companies that
strive for sustainable, affordable, and non-restrictive approaches to health,
such as eating a varied diet comprising whole, nutrient-dense foods.
They’ll also look for companies that are
transparent with their messaging and avoid promoting unhealthy diet messages,
such as quick weight loss, starvation, or vilifying certain foods.
Convenience and transparency
The way we enjoy food continues to shift as the
Though convenience food has been around for a
long time, the quality and healthfulness of these foods are becoming more
important, and companies are expected to be more transparent about their
ingredients and practices.
The year 2020 taught many of us that cooking
from home can be a fun and enjoyable experience. Still, with life starting to
speed up again, we’ll see a growing trend toward pre-made
meal kits and health-food boxes that save time but still allow you to eat
healthy from home.
Meal kit delivery services have grown
exponentially in the past year thanks to their healthfulness, convenience, and
affordability. In fact, the meal kit delivery market is projected to become a
$20 billion industry by 2027, according to Grand View Research.
Many people love meal kit delivery services
because most of the prep work like grocery shopping, measuring, and cutting is
already done. For a busy person who usually eats takeout during the week, this
makes eating healthy much easier and convenient.
Plus, many of these companies focus on local
food, sustainable practices and cater to a variety of food preferences and
diets. As such, meal kit companies are expected to grow in popularity.
Of note, online cooking classes in general have
seen a massive jump in interest as the world was forced to shift away from
restaurant prepared meals and look towards their kitchens. Even renowned chefs
like Jacques Pepin and Jose Andres have been consistently using their social
media accounts to show the world how to prepare basic, budget friendly food for
their family with minimal ingredients.
Many people are tired of misleading, false, or
In the past, food and supplement companies have
been very private about their ingredients and practices. Moreover, many make
health claims that have little to no scientific proof to back them up.
With consumers more interested in the
nutritional quality of the food products they consume, there will be a growing expectation that companies are clear, transparent, and honest about their
They’re expected to utilise this trend by
providing ingredient lists that are short and understandable and avoiding the
use of controversial ingredients, such as artificial colours, flavours, and dyes.
What’s more, many consumers will look to
support companies with philanthropic practices, such as giving part of their
proceeds to an honourable cause, supporting educational opportunities for
employees, or protecting the environment.
Many adults are not only interested in
fine-tuning their own diet but also finding healthier food and supplement
options for the entire family.
10.2 Kids’ nutrition
With more kids attending virtual schooling and
staying home, parents are now tasked with making lunches instead of
relying on the school cafeteria.
To better their family’s health, many
parents will be looking for products that are enjoyable for their kids but
still nutritious. Furthermore, given growing concerns about sugar and
artificial ingredients in the diet, they’ll be looking for
foods made with more natural ingredients.
In addition, supplements for children may be
used as added protection to support their immune system and prevent nutritional
deficiencies, especially for children who are considered to be picky eaters.
Finally, expect a rise in plant-based options
for children to support health and well-being. Many parents hope this will
teach their children sustainable and healthy food habits they can use
throughout their lives. Popular vegan Chef Chad Sarno of Wicked Healthy Foods released a widely-embraced series of free plant-based cooking
classes for kids this year on Youtube and this trend is expected to continue.
The bottom line
2021 looks forward to a huge shift in the food
Gone are the days of extreme diets, unnecessary
ingredients, and false promises. We move forward to see more people looking to
eat food that has a purpose, story, and serves society and health.
From a nutritionist's point of view, these changes appear to be a step in the right direction by focusing on the things that truly matter. As such, we look to 2021 with excitement - and we hope you do, too.


Are Air Fryers Really Healthy Or Is It Hype?
Ah, the irresistible aroma of fried foods! Whether it’s crispy chicken wings, golden French fries, or even a batch of homemade onion rings, these indulgent treats have long held a special place in our hearts (and taste buds).
However, with health concerns always on the rise, the quest for a healthier alternative to traditional frying has become a hot topic. Enter the air fryer, a kitchen gadget that claims to deliver the same crispy goodness with significantly less oil. But are air fryers really the miraculous solution they’re made out to be? Let’s dig in and find out!
Exploring the Air Fryer Phenomenon
Air fryers have gained tremendous popularity in recent years, promising guilt-free indulgence without sacrificing flavor. But how do they work? These nifty appliances use convection technology, circulating hot air at high speeds to cook food evenly and achieve that desirable crispy texture. Unlike deep frying, which requires submerging food in oil, air fryers typically use only a fraction of the oil—often just a tablespoon or less.
Health Benefits of Air Frying
Reduced Fat Content: By using significantly less oil, air frying can drastically cut down the fat content of your favorite fried dishes. Research suggests that air-fried foods contain up to 75% less fat than their deep-fried counterparts, making them a healthier option for those watching their caloric intake.
Lower Acrylamide Formation: When starchy foods like potatoes are fried at high temperatures, they can form a chemical called acrylamide, which has been linked to potential health risks. Air frying, on the other hand, can help minimize the formation of acrylamide, keeping your favorite crispy treats safer to consume.
Retained Nutritional Value: One of the advantages of air frying is that it can help retain more of the food’s natural nutrients compared to deep frying. Since air frying doesn’t involve excessive oil immersion, the food retains its vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to a greater extent, ensuring you get more nutrition with every bite.
Finding a Balanced Approach
While air frying offers several health benefits over traditional frying, it’s essential to maintain a balanced approach to your overall diet and lifestyle. Moderation is key, as even air-fried foods can still be high in calories and potentially contain added sugars or unhealthy additives. Incorporating a variety of cooking methods, such as grilling, steaming, or baking, can further diversify your meals and enhance your overall nutrition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I achieve the same taste and texture with an air fryer as I would with traditional frying?
A: While air-fried foods can come close to the texture and flavor of deep-fried counterparts, it’s important to note that the results may not be identical. Air frying offers a healthier alternative with a similar crispiness, but it may lack the distinct taste and mouthfeel that comes from immersion in oil.
Q2: Are air fryers suitable for all types of foods?
A: Air fryers can be used for a wide range of foods, including vegetables, meats, poultry, seafood, and even baked goods. However, certain delicate or heavily battered foods may not fare as well in an air fryer, as they might require the moisture provided by deep frying.
The air fryer phenomenon has brought us tantalizingly close to guilt-free indulgence. By using hot air instead of excessive oil, air fryers provide a healthier alternative to traditional frying, with reduced fat content, lower acrylamide formation, and retained nutritional value.
While they may not replicate the exact taste and texture of deep frying, air fryers offer a satisfying compromise for those seeking healthier cooking methods. Remember, balance is key, so incorporate a variety of cooking techniques and enjoy your favorite treats in moderation. Here’s to savoring the sizzle, one crispy bite at a time!

Commercial Refrigeration Equipment – What is it and How Does It Work?
For most, if not all, restaurant kitchens, commercial refrigeration units are a must-have piece of equipment. They’re made to keep cold items cold while lowering the danger of food illness. Aside from ordinary reach-in refrigerators and freezers, more specialized units for specific uses are also available.
Cold storage equipment utilized in commercial settings is referred to as commercial refrigeration equipment. Supermarkets, specialty food stores, convenience stores, and grocery stores all have reach-in refrigerators and freezers. Commercial refrigeration equipment includes walk-in refrigerators and freezers seen in restaurant and cafeteria equipment.
Refrigeration has made it possible for businesses and individuals to store foods and beverages for longer periods of time without their spoiling. For convenience and safety, commercial refrigeration keeps both prepared foods and meal ingredients cool by eliminating heat. Various methods of heat removal have been used over the years; continue reading to see how modern commercial refrigeration systems work.
Commercial refrigeration equipment comes in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Which Types of Commercial Refrigeration Equipment are There?
Commercial refrigeration systems come in a wide range of configurations:
Refrigerators and reach-in vertical cases
Enclosed vending devices
Vertical display cases
Horizontal display cases
Cases for delis
Drop in coolers
Draft beer dispensers
Back bar coolers
Commercial refrigeration equipment can serve a variety of purposes:
CHILLERS: Chillers are used to keep goods like food and beverages at temperatures below freezing but above room temperature. By keeping perishable things chilled, such technology prevents spoiling.
FREEZERS: Freezers keep perishable products frozen so they don’t spoil.
COMBO CHILLERS AND FREEZERS: Commercial refrigeration units that combine chilling and freezing capabilities are available.
What are some of the business types that use commercial refrigeration?
Commercial refrigeration is used by a variety of organizations and sectors. Businesses that require commercial refrigeration systems include food and beverage firms, supermarkets, convenience stores, and restaurants. Hospitals and medical research centers, on the other hand, frequently utilize commercial refrigeration to maintain the proper temperature of delicate goods. Florist shops may also use commercial refrigeration equipment, which help keep fresh-cut flowers from wilting.
Commercial Refrigeration Equipment and Energy Consumption
Beverage Coolers, Refrigerators and Freezers
Refrigeration can contribute for 5–15% of a restaurant’s or foodservice establishment’s energy use. The US Department of Energy and ENERGY STAR® have more information on choosing the correct refrigeration equipment for your commercial kitchen.
Look for an ENERGY STAR-certified model when purchasing a new commercial refrigerator, freezer, or beverage cooler. ENERGY STAR certified equipment consumes 15% less energy than non-certified ones. If your refrigerator was built before 2001, a new ENERGY STAR refrigerator would be 40% more efficient.
The expense of running ice machines in restaurants and foodservice establishments can be hundreds of dollars each year.
Choose an ENERGY STAR-certified ice maker, ice making head, or remote condensing unit when purchasing a new ice maker, ice making head, or remote condensing unit to save hundreds of dollars per year on your electricity bill.
Walk-in Coolers and Freezers
If your firm has a walk-in, refrigeration is the principal source of electricity. Replacing your walk-in cooler or freezer’s components with new energy-efficient equipment will help you save money, improve equipment performance, and increase reliability.
High Efficiency Evaporator Equipment
Replace obsolete evaporator fan equipment to save hundreds of dollars per year on your electric cost.
Hi Efficiency Condensing Equipment:
In cooler temperatures, high-efficiency condensing equipment saves energy, extending equipment life and lowering energy expenses. They also have more durable, efficient components that last longer and help you save money even on hot days.
Refrigerated case doors conserve energy while also extending the shelf life of food and improving the aesthetic of displayed items. Installing doors on open refrigerated equipment is a good idea.

More Americans are unable to put food on the table this Thanksgiving.
One in five adults reported household food insecurity in 2022, meaning they were unable to acquire adequate food for one or more family members, according to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Urban Institute. (The White House put that figure at 1 in 10 for 2020.)
But some regions are reporting a rise in food insecurity, suggesting that the situation has gotten worse in recent months. Nearly one in three (31%) Rhode Island households cannot afford adequate food, according to the 2022 state of hunger report from Rhode Island Community Food Bank released this month. That’s up from 18.4% in 2021, and 25.2% in 2020.
The number of people served at food pantries in the region also surged compared to a year ago. In August, 63,339 Rhode Islanders utilized food pantries, compared to 50,612 for the same time last year. The data was part of the RI Life Index, an initiative of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island, a federation of health insurers, and the Brown University School of Public Health.
“High prices will continue to drive more and more of our neighbors to food banks and food pantries as we enter the winter season,” Katie Fitzgerald, president and COO of Feeding America, a Chicago-based nonprofit that aims to stamp out hunger in the U.S., said in a statement.
“‘High prices will continue to drive more and more of our neighbors to food banks and food pantries as we enter the winter season.’”
Inflation hit 7.7% in October year-over-year, slightly down from 8.2% the previous month. Annual food prices rose 10.9% and the price of groceries increased by 12.4%. The rise in the cost of living in recent months and the end of pandemic-era government benefits has put a squeeze on low-income families and contributed to the surge in food insecurity.
As such, food banks are also feeling the crunch. “The problem we’ve seen this year is food banks are also struggling with higher food prices as more and more people need their help each month,” Fitzgerald said.
Compounding matters, food banks are seeing a surge in demand. Some 60% of Feeding America’s food bank members reported an increase in demand for emergency food assistance in August, compared to the previous month, according to nonprofit Feeding America’s latest food bank pulse survey conducted in September. The survey polled 170 food banks nationwide.
“Food bank supplies have fallen as record-high inflation has impacted food donations from grocery stores and wholesalers. ”
Supplies, however, have fallen as record-high inflation has impacted food donations from grocery stores to wholesalers. Akron Canton Regional Foodbank in Ohio saw 19% fewer donations compared to the same time last year, ABC News reported this week. The facility’s 4,000-square-foot cooler is typically full of food, the outlet reported, but currently has many empty shelves.
Food banks said that donations from pandemic-era federal programs have also dwindled. For Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico, food sourced from federal programs has decreased by an “astonishing 66%,” said Mag Strittmatter, president and CEO of the organization reported in her Fall 2022 report. “I wish that the need had followed suit,” she said.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced $2 billion in additional funding to food banks and school-meal programs last September. Some $1.5 billion out of the $2 billion will go toward food banks, signaling a rise in hunger in America.
Also in September, President Biden pledged to end hunger in the U.S. by 2030 and commit $8 billion by the public and private sector to fight hunger and related diseases, when he launched the first White House Conference on Food, Nutrition, and Health since 1969.
“I know we can do this, end hunger in this country by 2030, and lower the toll that dietary-related diseases take on too many Americans,” Biden said in opening remarks at that Washington, D.C., conference. “There are a lot of food deserts out there,” he added.
Food insecurity does not affect all Americans equally. One in five Black households is located in a “food desert,” the consulting firm McKinsey & Co. said last year. Some critics have pushed back at that term, arguing that grocery chains, municipal decisions and lack of government funding contribute to what they call “food apartheid.”

5th April 2017: ELEVEN MADISON PARK at NYC succeeds to OSTERIA FRANCESCANA at Modena at the first place in THE WORLD’S 50 BEST RESTAURANT ranking.
11th October 2017: Pub THE BLACK SWAN at Oldstead, Yorkshire, UK ranked Best Restaurant in the world for TRIPADVISOR.
The aforementioned examples demonstrate what a restaurant needs to stand out. It needs more than to serve good food of course: it needs a great name or a great position; it is best to have both.
Personally, I have never been in either but surely I will do in the future; for sure, when abroad I am completely aware of Italian restaurants (for a bunch of good reasons I will be glad to explain in a next article), even if on the door there is a short, mustached, guy talking with hands calling me “CIAO BELLO!” Meanwhile, I mistrust definitively tourist-grabber restaurants displaying at the entrance menus full of food pictures.
During a journey abroad, for pleasure or for business purposes, wouldn’t it be better to rely on hidden restaurants attended by local people, or a brand-new restaurant just opened and managed by a young, talented, willing chef? The typical places you-know-you-go.
Or it might happen that your children fall asleep after a long day of walking, shopping and visits or you have to make orders in your notes, documents and business cards after an intense business day and your plans for dining out go away, so you have to choose to rely on the best food takeout to eat in the comfort of your hotel room.
In every case, how do you choose the best place to eat? How do you make your holidays as unforgettable and avoid sentence like “ Great place, awful food”?
Through technology, of course.
