When it comes to weight loss, finding healthy snack options can be a challenge. It’s easy to reach for a bag of chips or a candy bar, but these choices can derail your progress. The key is to find snacks that are not only delicious but also nutritious and satisfying. In this article, we will explore 10 healthy snack ideas that can help you on your weight loss journey.
1. Greek Yogurt with Berries
Greek yogurt is a protein-packed snack that can keep you feeling full for longer. Pair it with fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for added fiber and antioxidants. This combination is not only delicious but also low in calories, making it a perfect choice for weight loss.
2. Veggie Sticks with Hummus
If you’re craving something crunchy, reach for some veggie sticks like carrots, celery, or bell peppers. Dip them in a serving of hummus for a satisfying and nutritious snack. Hummus is made from chickpeas, which are a great source of protein and fiber. It also adds flavor and creaminess to the veggie sticks.
3. Hard-Boiled Eggs
Hard-boiled eggs are a convenient and protein-rich snack that can help you stay full between meals. They are also low in calories and packed with essential nutrients. You can enjoy them on their own or sprinkle some salt and pepper for added flavor.
4. Apple Slices with Almond Butter
Apples are a great source of fiber and antioxidants, while almond butter provides healthy fats and protein. Slice an apple and spread a tablespoon of almond butter on each slice for a delicious and satisfying snack. This combination will keep you feeling full and provide a good balance of nutrients.
5. Kale Chips
If you’re craving something crispy and salty, kale chips are a great alternative to potato chips. Kale is a nutrient-dense leafy green that is low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals. Simply toss some kale leaves with olive oil, salt, and any other desired seasonings, then bake them until crispy.
6. Cottage Cheese with Pineapple
Cottage cheese is a high-protein snack that can help you feel full and satisfied. Pair it with some fresh pineapple chunks for a sweet and tangy twist. Pineapple is not only delicious but also contains bromelain, an enzyme that aids in digestion and may have anti-inflammatory properties.
7. Quinoa Salad
Quinoa is a nutritious whole grain that is packed with protein and fiber. Make a quinoa salad by combining cooked quinoa with your favorite vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Add some lemon juice and olive oil for a refreshing and healthy snack.
8. Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds are a great source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. They are also packed with vitamins and minerals. Choose a variety of nuts and seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds, and enjoy them as a snack. Just be mindful of portion sizes, as they are calorie-dense.
Edamame is a young soybean that is packed with protein and fiber. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. You can enjoy edamame by boiling or steaming the pods and sprinkling them with some salt. It’s a delicious and nutritious snack that can help you stay full and satisfied.
10. Chia Pudding
Chia seeds are a nutritional powerhouse that is high in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. Mix some chia seeds with your choice of milk and let it sit in the fridge overnight to create a delicious chia pudding. You can top it with fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
When it comes to weight loss, choosing the right snacks is essential. The 10 healthy snack ideas mentioned in this article are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients that can support your weight loss goals. Incorporate these snacks into your daily routine and enjoy the benefits of both taste and health.


Maple bacon-wrapped chestnuts. Blueberry cheese cake. Bruschetta with goat cheese and balsamic drizzle. Rubarb crisp. Herb-butter baked salmon with lemon, steamed to perfection. Oven-roasted garlic parmesan potatoes. Soft-battered fresh haddock from a tiny town in Scotland with a red wagon outside the window. Double-fudge brownie chocolate cake for a late-night birthday celebration. So many people across the world are writing about food, posting pictures of food, and looking for all the best recipes. I do have to admit that I am a little addicted to clicking on recipe videos that appear on my Facebook page, with titles like Grilled Bacon Wrapped Peaches and “This Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken is Better than Take Out.” I cannot resist. I can smell the crisp bacon. I can taste the sweet peaches and crunch of the cashews. And they make it look so easy. A few bowls of prepared ingredients, mix it together, and voila! Deliciousness. Someday I will find time to make these hundreds of recipes stored on my phone. Not. But I sure love to dream about it.
Not only do I love to dream about it; I also love to watch movies about cooking and food. Usually movies about chefs and some sort of romance or feel-good story with conflicting relationships and family situations. The Hundred-Foot Journey to name one. Chef to name another, with the awesome father-and-son food truck journey. But my all-time favourite foodie movie is Julie and Julia. That heart-wrenching moment when Julie wakes up confused and startled on the couch in the early hours of the morning, only to realize that she slept through her alarm, and her beautiful Beef Bourguignon for the visiting food critic is smoking and burnt to a crisp in its red ceramic pot in the oven. Another surprisingly wonderful moment is when the lobster nearly jumps out of the boiling pot and Julie nearly jumps out of her own skin. Or when she realizes that ‘everything is better with butter’. Or the touching moment when she creates her evening dinner party for her friends (beautiful table, coloured lights blurry in the background, wine, flowers, stories and laughter), to celebrate the one year completion of her food blog and her birthday, and her partner gives her a single string of pearls, just like Julia Child wore.
It is always that moment in the movie, when she gathers with her friends to celebrate around the meal she has created and her 30th birthday, that my heart strings get tugged that much more. It’s not only her desire to understand who she is, to have her words and thoughts read and appreciated, to acknowledge herself as a ‘real writer’, to finally accomplish one great thing of completion, or to make some meaning of her life. It’s the togetherness as they eat. It’s the way they raise their glasses in honour of their friend. In honour of love and life. Food tastes good if you make it taste good. But doesn’t it always taste better when eaten in the company of good friends and family?
There are always opportunities to invite someone for dinner. A stranger becomes a friend when they sit at your table with you. Recipes online, food blogs, Julia Child’s Joy of Cooking, and many other cooking invitations are really an invitation for something bigger and better: eating with friends, eating in community, eating with someone who doesn’t get many chances to enjoy a home cooked dinner with family or friends. A long table with 8 or 10 chairs is meant to be filled at least some of the time. The table longs for it. The chairs long for it. The world longs for it. Food blogs and recipes and food videos might be about the love of food, but they also point to one thing–that we were not meant to eat alone, and that being at the table together is the best way. At the end of Julie and Julia, her friends toast her in the Bon Appetite scene, and she announces that without her friends and Julia Child, she would never have made it through.
So to this I say, have a meal and invite some friends you don’t normally eat with. Have a bite and a conversation you didn’t expect to have. Just last Sunday I was invited to a meal of Fettucine Alfredo. Not only was it the best Fettucine I’ve ever had, but eating with new and old friends really hit the spot. All week since, I have carried with me the warm feeling of home and good company (as well as the memory of amazingly sweet barbecued pineapple!).
So invite someone. See how good the food gets, and how good your heart feels.
But for now, Bon Appetite, and good night.

How to master charcuterie using the best commercial meat slicers available on the market.
7 Best Flywheel Slicer Features for Mastering Charcuterie
The hypnotic sound of slicer blades gliding back and forth is reminiscent of the vicoli in many Italian neighborhoods. It’s a sound that takes you back in time and is part of a craft that is perfectly suited to the present. Mouth-watering European platters of razor-thin cut cured meat, fish, and cheese are increasingly popular in American homes and commercial kitchens. For restaurateurs, the ability to be able to offer freshly sliced ingredients in-house adds both appeal and authenticity to elegant eateries, cafes, and delis alike. Commercial meat slicers offer an excellent experience and front-of-the-house aesthetic for all spaces.
View or download our slicer brochure with a click on the image above or click here.
Our Volano series Flywheel Slicers combine craftmanship and built-in safety features for precision that can’t be beaten. Elegance and artisan appeal are two of the factors that distinguish our kitchen equipment in general. But it is the precision that our commercial meat slicers provide that makes portion control a cinch, helping our clients improve their bottom line while keeping with culinary tradition. Crafted with a built-in blade sharpener and safety guard, our traditional European slicer is ideal for a variety of artisan meats and charcuterie, dramatic theater-style presentations, and guest engagement.
Our Executive Corporate Chef David Binkle has been a fan of the Flywheel slicers long before he joined our team. Even the fine dining restaurants he worked in previously used them. He particularly likes the chrome-plated carbon steel precision blade and the easy-to-use flywheel for speed, control, and effortless operation. Since using a Flywheel slicer doesn’t require electricity, it can be utilized anywhere in the kitchen. They also have a longer life cycle than conventional deli slicers, Chef David pointed out. Slicing ingredients so thinly produces more yield, and from Chef David's standpoint, helps them to look sexier on the plate.
Two of the terms most widely used in cured meat presentation nowadays are charcuterie (French) and salumi (Italian). Both terms are used to describe cured animal meat that often includes various cuts and even offal. European hams such as Jamón , prosciutto, pancetta, guanciale, and mortadella are just a few. Smoked salmon and gravlax can also be featured on the plates. The French word charcuterie, however, can include cooked meats such as pâté. The Italian term salumi, on the other hand, only refers to cured meats (particularly with salt and air). Salumi di mare, or Seafood Salumi, is becoming increasingly popular in Italy and can include a wide variety of fish and seafood that are cured in the manner of meat and served on separate platters in the same fashion.
Many fine dining restaurants use flywheel slicers to create crudos and carpaccios of thinly sliced meat and seafood as well. The automatic product advancement of our Volano Flywheel slicers creates consistent slicing and the built-in top-mounted knife sharpener makes it easy to maintain. High-end French and Italian restaurants aren’t the only ones using Flywheel slicers. Spanish and Mediterranean restaurants use them for preparing Tapas, too. Two classic French staples –the cylindrical-shaped Galantines, and Terrines, also benefit from this type of slicing.
Chef Josh Fidler at Mela Kitchen/Jack’s Hard Cider in Gettysburg, PA told us that their restaurant, Mela Kitchen, which is named after the Italian word for apple, uses our Flywheel slicer in addition to our ovens. He says that our Flywheel Slicer is a centerpiece of their venue and that he uses it often because charcuterie has a prominent place on their craft-beverage-driven menu. Unlike deli slicers which need electricity and power, and can’t be operated near water, Flywheel slicers are easy to use and maintain. Deli slicers, on the other hand, can be tedious to take apart and fix. You have to move the blade to sharpen them and require outside service. They are also kept back of the house and don’t add to the aesthetic of a space.
Here are the Best Slicer Features for Charcuterie According to Chefs:
- Precision cutting for a variety of ingredients
- Multi-setting thickness gauge adjustment for precision slicing and yield maximization
- Chrome-plated carbon steel precision blade is ideal
- Material aspect: what to look for in durability and appearance
- Porcelain finish and premium decorative accenting
- Optional enameled cast-iron stationary pedestal base
- Standard 2-year parts and labor warranty
- Base Options
- The optional base includes welded support shelf
- Ideal for display slicing or on a cart for tableside service.
- Custom colors available
- Safety Features – blade guards are a must!
- Built-in Blade Sharpeners
- Automatic Product Advancement
- Choose the blade size that fits your needs
Our Volano Series is available in three blade sizes including the Volano 350 (14” Blade), Volano 300 (12” Blade), and the Volano 370 (15” Blade). Click here for more information.


Making fermented garlic in honey is a simple yet potent way to boost immune health and enhance the flavor of your meals.
Garlic and honey both possess natural antibacterial and antiviral properties. Consuming fermented garlic in honey may help combat infections and support the body's ability to ward off illnesses. Additionally, the fermentation process makes the mixture probiotic and great for gut health.
Here's a basic recipe to get you started:
Fresh garlic cloves (enough to fill your chosen jar)
Raw, unpasteurized honey
Mason jar with lid
Prepare the Jar: Ensure your mason jar is clean and dry. Sterilize it if needed.
Peel the Garlic: Peel enough garlic cloves to fill your chosen jar. You can use as many as you like, depending on the jar's size and your preference.
Add Garlic to the Jar: Place the peeled garlic cloves into the jar, leaving some space at the top.
Cover with Honey: Pour raw, unpasteurized honey into the jar, ensuring the garlic cloves are completely covered. Honey acts as a natural preservative and provides additional health benefits.
Remove Air Bubbles: Gently tap the jar on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Add more honey if needed to ensure the garlic remains submerged.
Seal the Jar: Secure the lid tightly. Make sure the garlic is entirely covered by honey to prevent spoilage.
Fermentation Time: Place the jar in a cool, dark place for about 3 to 4 weeks. This allows the garlic to ferment and infuse its beneficial compounds into the honey.
Check Periodically: During the fermentation period, check the jar occasionally to ensure the garlic remains submerged in honey. If needed, top it up with more honey.
Strain (Optional): After fermentation, you can strain out the garlic if you prefer a smoother honey or leave the cloves in for an added flavor kick.
Storage: Store the jar in the refrigerator. Fermented garlic in honey can last for up to six months.
Consume a small amount daily, such as a teaspoon, as part of your routine to support immune health.
Use the infused honey in culinary dishes, salad dressings, or as a sweet and savory topping.
In any fermentation process, it is important to prevent the growth of unwanted microbes. For spores to grow, the pH needs to be above 4.6. The following honeys have a lower pH (3.5-3.9) and are safe to use.
Acacia, orange blossom, rosemary, sunflower, thyme

Delicate, moist and crunchy—Fleur de Sel is known as “the caviar of salts” by chefs around the world. The result of a cool evening wind gently blowing across the surface of salt ponds in Guérande, France, delicate crystals blossom quickly and are gathered early in the morning using traditional wooden tools. This tender harvesting process leaves the crystals intact and helps them retain their natural moisture. Used by cooks worldwide when seasoning their favorite foods, Fleur de Sel is one of the most treasured finishing salts for gourmet dishes, adding subtle salinity and crunch, and in spice & herb blends, as it helps to breakdown herbs and open up their flavor.
GOURMET SEA SALT: Cherished for its natural moisture, unique texture and balanced flavor, SaltWorks Fleur de Sel is an exceptional addition to any dish from grilled fish and steamed vegetables to chocolate ice cream
CAVIAR OF SALT: Using centuries-old harvesting techniques and wooden tools, Fleur de Sel is carefully harvested by hand from the surface of salt ponds in the Guérande region of France
POUR-SPOUT POUCH: Available in a smaller bulk option, our kitchen and pantry friendly pour-spout pouch makes measuring out salt and refilling shakers and jars easy

What a woman eats and drinks during pregnancy is her baby’s main source of nourishment. So, Nkateko Amin Consultant Dieticians recommend that a mother-to-be choose a variety of healthy foods and beverages to provide the important nutrients a baby needs for growth and development.
A pregnant woman needs more calcium, folic acid, iron and protein than a woman who is not expecting.
Foods to eat
During pregnancy, the goal is to be eating nutritious foods most of the time. To maximize prenatal nutrition, We suggests emphasizing the following five food groups: fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains and dairy products.
When counseling pregnant women, We recommends they fill half their plates with fruits and vegetables, a quarter of it with whole grains and a quarter of it with a source of lean protein, and to also have a dairy product at every meal.
Fruits and vegetables: Pregnant women should focus on fruits and vegetables, particularly during the second and third trimesters. These colorful foods are low in calories and filled with fiber, vitamins and minerals.
Lean protein: Pregnant women should include good protein sources at every meal to support the baby’s growth. Protein-rich foods include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, cheese, milk, nuts and seeds.
Whole grains: These foods are an important source of energy in the diet, and they also provide fiber, iron and B-vitamins. At least half of a pregnant woman’s carbohydrate choices each day should come from whole grains, such as oatmeal, whole-wheat pasta or breads and brown rice.
Dairy: Aim for 3 to 4 servings of dairy foods a day. Dairy foods, such as milk, yogurt and cheese are good dietary sources of calcium, protein and vitamin D.
In addition to a healthy diet, pregnant women also need to take a daily prenatal vitamin to obtain some of the nutrients that are hard to get from foods alone, such as folic acid and iron, according to ACOG.
For women who take chewable prenatal vitamins, We advised checking the product labels, because chewables might not have sufficient iron levels in them.
Foods to limit
Caffeine: Consuming fewer than 200 mg of caffeine a day, which is the amount found in one 12-ounce cup of coffee, is generally considered safe during pregnancy. The moderate caffeine consumption during pregnancy does not appear to contribute to miscarriage or premature birth.
Fish: Fish is a good source of lean protein, and some fish, including salmon and sardines, also contain omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat that’s good for the heart. It is safe for pregnant women to eat 8 to 12 ounces of cooked fish and seafood a week. However, they should limit albacore or “white” tuna, which has high levels of mercury, to no more than 6 once a week. Mercury is a metal that can be harmful to a baby’s developing brain. Canned light tuna has less mercury than albacore “white” tuna and is safer to eat during pregnancy.
Foods to avoid
Alcohol: Avoid alcohol during pregnancy. Alcohol in the mother’s blood can pass directly to the baby through the umbilical cord. Heavy use of alcohol during pregnancy has been linked with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, a group of conditions that can include physical problems, as well as learning and behavioral difficulties in babies and children.
Fish with high levels of mercury: Seafood such as swordfish, shark, king mackerel, marlin, orange roughy and tilefish are high in levels of methyl mercury, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and should be avoided during pregnancy. Methyl mercury is a toxic chemical that can pass through the placenta and can be harmful to an unborn baby’s developing brain, kidneys and nervous system.
Unpasteurized food: Pregnant women are at high risk for getting sick from two different types of food poisoning: listeriosis, caused by the Listeria bacteria, and toxoplasmosis, an infection caused by a parasite.
Listeria infection may cause miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm labor, and illness or death in newborns. To avoid listeriosis, the Nkateko Amin Consultant Dietitians recommends avoiding the following foods during pregnancy:
- Unpasteurized (raw) milk and foods made from it, such as feta, Brie, Camembert, blue-veined cheeses, queso blanco and queso fresco. Pasteurization involves heating a product to a high temperature to kill harmful bacteria.
- Hot dogs, luncheon meats and cold cuts unless heated to steaming hot before eating to kill any bacteria.
- Store-bought deli salads, such as ham salad, chicken salad, tuna salad and seafood salad.
- Unpasteurized refrigerated meat spreads or pates.
Raw meat: A mother can pass a Toxoplasma infection on to her baby, which can cause problems such as blindness and mental disability later in life, reports the CDC. To prevent toxoplasmosis, we recommends avoiding the following foods during pregnancy:
- Rare, raw or undercooked meats and poultry.
- Raw fish, such as sushi, sashimi, ceviches and carpaccio.
- Raw and undercooked shellfish, such as clams, mussels, oysters and scallops.
Some foods may increase a pregnant woman’s risk for other types of food poisoning, including illness caused by salmonella and E. coli bacteria. Foodsafety.gov lists these foods to avoid during pregnancy, and why they pose a threat:
- Raw or undercooked eggs, such as soft-cooked, runny or poached eggs.
- Foods containing undercooked eggs, such as raw cookie dough or cake batter, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, homemade ice cream, homemade eggnog, Hollandaise sauce.
- Raw or undercooked sprouts, such as alfalfa, clover.
- Unpasteurized juice or cider.
Pregnancy diet misconceptions
When a mother-to-be is experiencing morning sickness, the biggest mistake she can make is thinking that if she doesn’t eat, she’ll feel better.
The exact causes of morning sickness are not known, but it may be caused by hormonal changes or lower blood sugar. This common complaint can bring vomiting in some women, especially during the first three months of pregnancy.
And it’s definitely not happening only in the morning. It’s any time of day. To ease morning sickness, it’s better to eat small amounts of foods that don’t have an odor, since smells can also upset the stomach, she suggested.
It is common for women to develop a sudden urge or a strong dislike for a food during pregnancy. Some common cravings are for sweets, salty foods, red meat or fluids. Often, a craving is a body’s way of saying it needs a specific nutrient, such as more protein or additional liquids to quench a thirst, rather than a particular food, she said.
Eating for two
When people say that a pregnant woman is “eating for two,” it doesn’t mean she needs to consume twice as much food or double her calories.
“A woman is not eating for two during her first trimester,” Nkateko Amin Consultant Dietitians says. During the first three months, We tell women that their calorie needs are basically the same as they were before pregnancy. During the first trimester.
We typically advises pregnant women to add 200 calories to their usual dietary intake during the second trimester, and to add 300 calories during their third trimester when the baby is growing quickly.
Weight gain during pregnancy
“Weight gain during pregnancy often has an ebb and a flow over the nine months,”. It’s hard to measure where pregnancy weight is going, adding that a scale does not reveal whether the kilograms are going to a woman’s body fat, baby weight or fluid gains.
When it comes to pregnancy weight gain, We advises mothers-to-be to look at the big picture: During regular prenatal checkups, focus on the fact that the baby is growing normally rather than worrying about the number on a scale.

I have always been a picky eater, especially when it comes to vegetables. Now that I am a grown-up, I can handle eating vegetables when they are cooked (and smothered in butter, cheese or brown sugar), but I have a hard time eating veggies raw. Unfortunately, my kids are following my bad example.
Years ago, my dad bought us Jessica Seinfeld’s book, Deceptively Delicious, which gave me some great ideas for sneaking pureed vegetables into all sorts of food. Most of the recipes that I tried worked great for our family and I even adapted some of our traditional family recipes. Still, I wanted to get my kids (and myself) to eat more veggies.
Last February, I attended a green smoothie class with the ladies at church. In the past, I had experimented with tossing spinach into our infrequent smoothies, but at the class I got lots of new ideas. I decided that green smoothies would be a great way to get more fresh fruits and vegetables into our diet.
My husband, who could easily live on raw vegetables, was excited that I enthusiastically started making green smoothies, but wondered if it would just be a phase that would wear off quickly. I am happy to report that February marks one year that our family has been faithfully and consistently drinking green smoothies. I make a smoothie nearly every night with dinner.
- For starters, my kids (and I) actually voluntarily eat veggies. We no longer have to beg, bribe, or force our kids to eat veggies. When mixed with yummy berries and fruit, who wouldn’t like raw spinach, broccoli and carrots?
- We eat a much greater variety of whole foods. Instead of choosing between green beans, corn, and peas as a vegetable side dish, we are eating things we’ve never tried before, like chard, beet greens, cabbage and kale.
- In addition to fruits and veggies we add in other ingredients that improve our health like coconut oil, flax seed and homemade plain yogurt.
- By changing our recipes, we are training our palates to like more veggies. When we started, we added more fruits, as well as some honey or agave nectar to be sure our veggie-haters would like the smoothies. We gradually added less fruit and more greens to the smoothies and the kids still love them. I am often impressed at how green of a smoothies thy will eat.
- I have noticed a difference in our health. We rarely get sick and we have more energy. I also feel better as a mom, knowing my kids are growing up eating healthy foods. I have had dishydrotic eczema on my hands since my first child was born. I’ve been to three different dermatologists and they all just prescribe a steroid cream and say there is nothing else I can do. Since adding regular green smoothies to our diet, the eczema, is almost completely gone.
- Green smoothies save us money by wasting less of our food. There are several ways we save money by wasting less.
- Don’t let is spoil– If lettuce starts to wilt, it’s not appetizing for a salad, but would be perfect for a smoothie. If you have more than you can use right now, stick it in the freezer. Frozen greens are perfect for smoothies. We had some oranges that were starting to get dry and weren’t very good by themselves. We took a few minutes to peel them all and put them in the freezer so they’re all ready for smoothies. Brown bananas (which you can often find discounted) aren’t just good for banana bread. Peel them and flash freeze them to add to smoothies later.
- Use it all– With smoothies, we waste less because we use greens and cores. After they’re washed, carrots and strawberries can go into the blender with their greens still intact. The core of fresh pineapple can be added to smoothies too. I just cut off the outside of the pineapple and slice the yellow fruit, core and all, to put in the blender. A little lemon or orange rind is good for you, too, but it has a strong flavor, so don’t use too much.
- Liquids– We save the liquids from our home-canned fruits to put in smoothies. When I rehydrate dehydrated fruits or veggies, I put the excess water into our smoothies. Water that veggies are steamed in also contains nutrients and can be saved for smoothies.
- Because we grow a garden each year, most of what we use in our smoothies are fruits and veggies we grow ourselves. Some smoothie ingredients from the garden include lettuce, spinach, chard, kale, beets, carrots, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, zucchini, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin. All of these can be frozen in one way or another, so even in the winter we have garden foods for our smoothies.
- Smoothie ingredients can be frozen, so when we find great deals on in-season produce that we don’t grow, we stock up. We have apricot, plum, and peach halves that we flash froze and put into gallon freezer bags to use in smoothies.
- I really believe that by taking care of our health, we are saving money on healthcare costs in the future. Healthy eating and an active lifestyle are the best preventative medicine there is. Of course we are saving on our healthcare costs now, too, since we haven’t had to go to the doctor with any illnesses.
My mother-in-law, who attended the green smoothie class with me has a nice Vitamix blender that could do all the things we learned about in the class. We just had a regular blender that we got second-hand, but I was determined to make it work for green smoothies. With a some adjustments to the recipes and avoiding fruits and veggies that would be to hard on the blender’s motor, we were able to have healthy green smoothies for nearly a year before the motor started to burn up.
Impressed with my faithfulness in green smoothie creations, my husband surprised me with a Blendtec Total Blender for Christmas. If you’ve seen the Will it Blend? videos on YouTube, you know that they are amazing blenders!
I am so excited to now be able to add even more raw foods to our smoothies that our regular blender couldn’t handle, like carrots, apples, and celery. One of the first things we noticed was that the seeds in the blackberries and raspberries are smooth. Besides smoothies, we have used our Blendtec for other frozen treats, soups, purees, whole wheat pancakes and even blending up powdered milk that otherwise is lumpy. It even grinds wheat and makes peanut butter!
I love that the Blendtec is so easy to use and clean. It has programmed cycles for smoothies, whole juice, soups and more. You just press the button for the cycle you want and the blender runs for a set amount of time on different speeds. Of course you can also adjust the speed and time yourself if you prefer. All the Blendtec blender jars have straight, flat sides with no curvy, hard-to-clean crevices. The blade long and simple to clean around. Our old blender was a beast to clean thoroughly.
My husband got a great deal on a factory recertified Blendtec blender and I couldn’t be happier with it. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

"Overcome the notion that we must be regular….it robs you of the chance to be extraordinary."
One of my favorite outings this time of year is a journey to Pescadero to visit Harley Farms. Harley Farms is no ordinary place, it is a unique goat farm that produces award winning goat cheese and many other edible and non-edible products…even goat milk paint! To me the best time to visit is in the next few weeks, since it is in late February early March when the babies arrive and they are adorable and irresistible…by the way so is the cheese tasting.
There are many things to do at the goat farm while there visiting the babies; you can get a tour (advanced reservations required); visit their store to browse and purchase their goat milk products, wooly colorful throws, and impeccable collection of gardening supplies; taste delectable cheeses dressed with nasturtium and other edible flowers, as well as taste their specialty vinaigrettes and jellies.
The baby goats and the cheese tasting are such a draw for me but there is a secret love of mine at Harley Farms. It is the "hidden" dining room in the hayloft, just up a narrow and steep stairway that sit's above the cheese tasting room. The dining room is filled with quirky and rustic collected items you would expect to see on a farm. What is unexpected is the long, curving, vertically sliced slab of fir that makes the dining table which is surrounded by twenty fun and funky chairs. I always visit the upstairs dining room when I am there; I enjoy the rustic hipster space, the textures and colors, and I love the view of the vista's from the above. The hayloft is a fun place to attend one of the farm's events or reserve a private lunch or dinner for your own special event. The food will delight your palette with fresh greens from the farm, savory appetizers, and you will be surrounded by the scent of fresh flowers cut from their garden to fill the bouquets.
Here are some pics from my last adventure at Harley Farms.
You can read more about the goat farm, schedule a tour, or private event on their website http://www.harleyfarms.com.
Here are a few more of my favorites in Pescadero;
Duarte's, known for their artichoke soup and James Beard recognition. Luna Sea, a quirky boutique with jewelry, rugs, artwork, and great greeting cards. Pescadero Country Store (Cindy’s Market), the best pizzas cooked right to order in the store's stone pizza oven. Arcangeli Grocery Co (Norm's Market), this is that bakery with the infamous Garlic Herb and Artichoke Bread, I always pick up a fresh loaf for the drive home and it is half gone by the time I reach my destination. They also have other specialty breads, baked goods (yummy olillieberrie pies) and a fine collection of local goodies!
Enjoy your trip to this coastal town but be forewarned that a sunny day on the weekend can make the small town of Pescadero a very busy place!


We believe sharing chores is a vital part of the family bond. Our young people all work together to keep our house and garden running smoothly.
Visitors to the Casa often common on how helpful and hardworking the Niños can be. All our young people work together to make meals , clean the kitchen, and keep the house and garden in order.
It’s very important to us that all of the Niños know how to cook, garden, and make compost.
Mama Kia raised them to appreciate all the gifts of the earth (Pachamama). Our Associate Director, Avishai, has built on that tradition by sharing his passion for organic gardening and nutritious cooking.
Garden-fresh organic produce is one of the defining characteristics of Niños del Sol. Many children’s homes in Peru have such low budgets that they are forced to fill the children up with starches that have no nutrients. We think our teen are actually taller than average, thanks to their great diets.
Thanks to our generous donors, we have enough land to grow a lot of our own food. We also have a pickup truck that allows us to gather fresh produce from a nearby organic farm — they’re very kind to donate their leftover vegetables for us.
We’re so grateful for the incredible generosity of our donors and both of our Directors’ commitment to organic gardening and nutritious meals.
If you’re ever visiting the Sacred Valley, come share a meal with us!

Top 3 Food Steamers
If you’re interested in making small, healthy changes to your diet then you may want to invest in a food steamer. Steaming food is one of the healthiest ways of cooking because there is no oil, no fat and because the food will retain a lot more nutrients then other cooking methods can offer. Boiling your food is often considered to be a healthier alternative to frying but it can still take a lot of the nutrients and taste out of your food, but when you steam the food never actually comes into contact with the boiled water so you avoid these issues.
There are a lot of food steamers on the market and it’s understandable if you’re feeling a bit confused. Luckily we are here to make things easier with our review of the top three food steamers on the market right now.
Morphy Richards Intellisteam Review – Our Number 1
- The Morphy Richards Intellisteam (VIEW PRICE HERE!)
is ridiculously easy to use. It has a simple digital display which will let you pre-program the cooking time for different food types so everything is cooked to perfection. These pre-programmed times can even be altered depending on your personal preferences and it will remember your last settings for a truly personalised meal.
- This Morphy Richards steamer will actually calculate when to start heating each food compartment to make sure that your entire meal is ready at the same time.
- The Morphy Richards Intellisteam also has a keep warm function which will keep your food hot for 40 minutes after it is fully cooked so you don’t have to rush.
- This food steamer does a lot more than cook vegetables. It comes with a rice tray, sauce tray, food plinth and an optional dividing wall so you can cook an entire meal in this steamer. It also has 3 separate compartments for the different foods to stop cross contamination and is capable of cooking meat, vegetables, rice and sauces with no need to use oil or fat.
- The Morphy Richards Intellisteam has an 8.2L capacity and can cook enough for 4 people. If you hate cooking or just don’t have the time than this could be the answer to your prayers because it will cook healthy, tasty meals for the entire family with minimal effort on your part!
- This Morphy Richards model is dishwasher safe and is therefore very easy to clean. As it contains multiple compartments and can cook entire meals it will also save you a lot of washing up.
- The Intellisteam has been designed to help you save as much space as possible. It is compact and all additional accessories can be stored within the bowl so it can be easily put away when not in use.
Features: Easy To Use – Pre-Program Cooking Times – Ensures All Food Is Cooked At The Same Time – Keep Warm Function – Cooks Entire Meals – 8.2L Capacity – Dishwasher Safe – Compact.
Tefal Simply Invents Food Steamer Review – Number 2
- This food steamer has a 3 tier design which lets you cook multiple foods at the same time.
- The Tefal food steamer has a manual timer which you can set depending on your preferences. It also has a keep warm feature so your food will be ready to eat whenever you want it.
- This steamer includes three bowls with removable grids so you can cook a variety of different dishes in the same steamer.
- The Tefal VC101616 has a capacity of 9.L which is ideal for small to medium groups.
- This Tefal model is very easy to store thanks to its compact design.
Features: 3 Tier Design – Manual Timer – Keep Warm Feature – Three Bowls With Removable Grids – 9.L Capacity – Compact Design.
VonShef 8L Digital Stainless Steel Review – Number 3
- The VonShef steamer has an 8.L capacity which is more than enough for small – medium groups.
- The three stackable steam baskets makes it easy to cook entire meals in one go without any additional effort or washing up.
- Despite its affordable price the VonShef 8L can still be used to cook meat, rice, vegetables and more all at the same time. It also comes with a rice bowl which will help you cook perfect rice every time with no need to invest in a rice cooker.
- This steamer is very easy to use. It has 7 digital steam programs which you can choose from and you also have the option to pre-set the cooking times to suit your personal taste.
- The VonShef will let you know via an alarm when your food is cooked so there is no danger of overcooking.
- This VonShef steamer is very easy to clean. All parts excluding the base unit are dishwasher safe so all you have to do is pop it in the dishwasher and it will be ready for next time.
- The VonShef food steamer has an impressive 2 year warranty. Even though this is a fairly affordable product it is still a good idea to invest in a warranty to ensure you really do get the most out of your money.
Features: 8L Capacity – 3 Stackable Steam Baskets – Cooks Entire Meals At Once – 7 Digital Steam Programs – Easy to Clean – 2 Year Warranty.
These are all excellent food steamers which guarantee healthy, tasty and easy food with minimal effort and mess. There can only be one winner however and one of these steamers does stand out so I’m happy to announce that first place goes to the Morphy Richards Intellisteam. This is a really impressive steamer which can cook entire meals in one go with basically no effort on your part, it is incredibly easy to use, it will cook each food compartment individually to ensure your entire meal is ready at the same time, it is compact, dishwasher safe and guaranteed to help you cook healthy meals with no need to fry or boil.

Cook Time: 20 mins
2 boneless ribeye steaks, about 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1. Preheat the Cast Iron Skillet:
- Place your cast iron skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Let it heat up for about 5 minutes until it's very hot.
2. Season the Steaks:
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
3. Sear the Steaks:
- Add olive oil to the hot skillet. Carefully place the steaks in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them. This creates a nice crust.
- Flip the steaks and add minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Spoon some of the hot oil and herbs over the steaks while they cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the time based on your desired doneness.
4. Add Butter for Basting:
- Add butter to the skillet and let it melt. Tilt the skillet slightly so the butter pools to one side. Use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter, garlic, and herbs for about 1-2 minutes. This adds rich flavor to the steaks.
5. Rest the Steaks:
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them rest for about 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy steak.
6. Slice and Serve:
- Slice the steaks against the grain into thick slices. Arrange them on plates, drizzling any remaining pan juices, garlic, and herbs over the top.
- Serve your garlic and herb cast iron skillet steak with your favorite side dishes and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal right at home!


Hands down one of the best places to eat in Austin! This food is so flavorful I was in heaven every single bite. Here are a few things to know before you go:
Location: They have a location on the corner of South 1st Street and W. Live Oak as well as a location on Rainey Street. I have been to both but prefer the location on South 1st street which is a bit calmer than the Rainey Street location.
Parking: If you are going to the South 1st location they are located in a small trailer parking lot. Not a ton of parking in the lot but there is easy street parking nearby.
Price: $5.99-8.99 per item
Seating: Picnic tables with umbrellas outside
What we ordered:
-Four Brother’s & La Bomba Arepa
The Four Brothers Arepa and the La Bomba Arepa are essentially the same but the La Bomba Arepa gives you three types of meat-pork, chicken, and beef. While the Four Brothers Arepa comes with chicken only. This sandwich is so good! You will not leave disappointed. Along with the meat, the sandwiches also include cheese, sweet plantains tomato, black beans, and a delicious dressing of tartar sauce and avocado sauce.
-Mandocas & Cheese Empanada
My boyfriend really loved the cheese empanada but my favorite snack was the mandocas, a deep fried cornmeal ring, which had the perfect amount of sweetness to it.
If you are visiting Austin for the first time or a local you have got to check this place out! You and your belly will leave very happy!


One of the most important factors in living a healthy lifestyle is having good nutrition. Combined with physical activity and fitness, a nutritious diet can improve your mood, reduce risk of chronic illness, and promote your overall health. That’s why learning about nutrition from those who have a solid understanding can be highly beneficial. So, we’ve found the best nutrition books for you to learn all about being nutritious and healthy.
Best Nutrition Books
Below are the top 10 books on nutrition to help you learn about what your body needs.
1. In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto by Michael Pollan
From best-selling author Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food explains how the Western diet has turned food from a product of nature to a product of food science. According to Pollan, there exists a widespread American paradox: the more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we become.
What we eat comes down to seven simple words: eat food, not too much, mostly plants. Once you make thoughtful food choices, you’ll feel more enriched throughout various areas of life. Not only will a sense of pleasure be brought back into your eating, but you’ll now possess an enlarged sense of what it truly means to be healthy.Click Here For The Best Price
2. Deep Nutrition by Catherine Shanahan, M.D.
In Deep Nutrition, Catherine Shanahan explains why your genes need traditional food. Named one of the best health & wellness books of 2017 by Sports Illustrated, this book examines the habits that have kept our ancestors disease-free, and how we can live longer, healthier lives by implementing them on our own.
Physician and biochemist Catherine Shanahan examines diets around the world, such as the Mediterranean diet and Blue Zone. She also dives into the four common nutritional habits that lead to shorter lives and declined health. By reading Deep Nutrition, you’ll be able to eliminate cravings, sharped cognition, build stronger bones, and live a more fulfilling life, both inside and out.Click Here For The Best Price
3. The Obesity Code by Jason Fung
In this #1 best-seller, Jason Fung unlocks the secrets of weight loss. As one of the world’s experts on intermittent fasting, Jason Fung leaves no stone unturned when he explains how the world became fat, and how we can reverse it. According to him, everything you believe about weight loss is wrong.
Since weight gain and obesity are driven by hormones, understanding the impacts of insulin and insulin resistance is key to achieving lasting weight loss. In this, Fung draws out a shocking theory on obesity and explains how you can break a cycle of insulin resistance to stay at a healthy weight.Click Here For The Best Price
4. How Not to Die by Michael Greger
In this instant New York Times best-seller, M.D. Michael Greger explains which foods are scientifically proven to prevent and reverse disease.

Created by nationally-renowned nutrition expert Michael Greger, this book examines the 15 most common causes of premature death in America, and explains how nutrition can often make a larger impact than medicine. While great doctors can cure illness, great nutrition can prevent it.Click Here For The Best Price
5. Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition by Howard Jacobson and T. Colin Campbell
What happens when you eat nutritious foods compared to when you splurge on junk food? The answer is much more complex than many realize. Every nutritious food, such as an apple, contains thousands of antioxidants whose names are unfamiliar to us. Yet, each of these powerful chemicals plays a role in our overall health.
In our modern world, nutritional science is at the cusp of a revolution. While many companies claim that their food is “good for us” they provide little insight on how. If you’re looking to understand the vast chemical reactions that make up good and bad nutrition, this is the book for you. Understanding the science of nutrition, and what you eat, is the most important step to living a healthy lifestyle.Click Here For The Best Price
6. The Plant Paradox by Dr. Steven R. Gundry MD
In The Plant Paradox, Dr. Gundry explains the hidden diseases in so-called healthy foods that lead to disease and weight gain. While many strive to be healthy by going gluten-free or avoiding calories, they often miss the root of the problem. In this, Gundry explains the science of lectin, and how this commonly-found plant-based protein causes a variety of internal health problems.
Foods that we commonly regard as healthy, such as seeds and grains, contain this protein. In this, Gundry explains the simple hacks that we can implement to avoid ingesting lectins, such as peeling your veggies and shopping for fruits that are in season. Although these habits are seemingly small, the impact they pose on your health is nothing but positive.Click Here For The Best Price
7. Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy by M.D. Walter C. Willett
In this best-selling guide to healthy eating, you’ll find debunked dietary myths, the radical benefits of a low-carbohydrate diet, and research-backed health advice. Praised by The Wall Street Journal, this book’s research is rooted in studies that have tracked the health of dieters for over two decades. In this, Willett critiques the common diets proposed by the USDA.
Exposing the problems that lie within popular diets, such as the Zone and Atkins, this book offers eye-opening research on the impact of carbohydrates, various food groups and commonly-used supplements.Click Here For The Best Price
8. Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman MD
In this six-week nutrition plan, you’ll find revolutionary scientific research explaining toxic food culture, the role of food addiction, and how to combat weight issues. If you’re looking to gain an in-depth understanding of what causes weight gain, this is the book for you. According to Fuhrman, eating the wrong foods can cause toxic hunger, leading you to crave even more calories than before.
On the other hand, a diet of high micronutrient quality leads to true hunger, decreasing overeating in the end. Not only does Fuhrman provide great research and insight on weight gain, but includes recipes and menus to make it easy for you to implement nutritional changes into your life.Click Here For The Best Price

In this, he answers some of the most burning questions, including: Why are some people thin and others fat? What foods should we eat, and what foods should we avoid? By reading this book, you’ll understand the nutrition mistakes that cause weight gain, and how you can adopt a healthy diet to maintain your optimal weight.Click Here For The Best Price

About the Recipe
Super tasty grilled salmon that can be made indoors or outdoors, paired with marinated greens. An insanely delicious satisfying meal.
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
2 red, orange and/or yellow bell peppers, trimmed, halved and seeded
1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper
1 ¼ pounds salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions
¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Brush zucchini, peppers and onion with oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle salmon with pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Place the vegetables and the salmon pieces, skin-side down, on the grill. Cook the vegetables, turning once or twice, until just tender and grill marks appear, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Cook the salmon, without turning, until it flakes when tested with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes.
When cool enough to handle, roughly chop the vegetables and toss together in a large bowl. Remove the skin from the salmon fillets (if desired) and serve alongside the vegetables. Garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon basil and serve with a lemon wedge.


Dairy Foods Magazine reached out to Chip Halverson, Senior Customer Business Manager at Scholle IPN, to provide insight into packaging technologies for dairy processors and their operations. Read the Q&A session to find out more on how flexible dairy packaging is positively affecting the industry.
Dairy Foods: What are dairy processors demanding from flexible packaging?
Halverson: Our dairy processor customers are looking for packaging that meets their sustainability goals to reduce landfill use and minimize the energy they spend in delivering their finished goods to the marketplace. They are also looking for solutions that provide benefits and efficiencies to aseptic processing and dispensing.
Dairy Foods: What types of packaging have you developed or are you developing in response to these demands?
Halverson: With our low-acid aseptic packaging and filling equipment, we are able to help deliver a healthier, preservative-free option with a longer shelf life. Bag-in-box solutions also reduce energy in their creation compared to rigid packaging formats. That, along with product waste and landfill minimization, seems to be filling our customers’ demands. Scholle IPN has also developed a more-convenient way to connect aseptic bag-in-box packaged products to dispensing equipment with the QuickSeal Sentry SafeLock™. This tamper-evident fitment provides a quick connection option that enhances food safety and reduces time in dispenser cleaning operations.
Dairy Foods: Everyone in the industry is looking at sustainability. Explain how your packaging can help a processor reduce its carbon footprint.
Halverson: Bag-in-box packaging has some inherent sustainable traits; it uses less raw material and energy during manufacturing when compared to rigid packaging that holds equal volumes of product. Logistically speaking, benefits include more efficient transportation and pallet utilization leading to space efficiencies at warehouses and at the final destination because our packaging cubes out so well. You’re not shipping air at any point. At the post-consumer stage, Scholle IPN bag-in-box results in less landfill waste when compared to rigid containers holding equal volumes of product.
Dairy Foods: What’s next for flexible packaging in the dairy industry?
Halverson: Portion control and dispensing technology is the next big thing in the dairy industry. Moving towards a portion-controlled dispensing solution instead of individual packages will reduce product and energy waste while cutting costs. The packaging company that can innovate and produce aseptic fitments and connectors that integrate easily into dispensing systems will most certainly have an in-demand set of solutions for the dairy industry.

H.R. 1147 would allow schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program to serve whole or reduced-fat milk that is flavored or unflavored to students. Under current law, schools must offer milk that is fat-free or low-fat and may only offer flavored milk if it is fat-free. The bill also would exclude the saturated fat in milk from the amount that is allowed under the program for an average meal.
CBO expects that enacting the bill would not affect reimbursement rates or participation in the program, so there would be no effect on the cost of benefits. CBO estimates that the administrative costs to update the dietary regulations would be insignificant; any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

Food Intolerance Testing
The Bodyworks Practice offers Food Intolerance Testing to complement our nutrition and internal health focus. Food intolerances differ from food allergies. Food intolerances can present themselves in many way and even days after you have eaten the food making it hard to pinpoint what it is, food intolerances involve the antigen IgG. A Food Allergy is quick, more serious and easy to identify, allergies involve the antigen IgE. Less than 2% of the population has a food allergy, whereas up to 45% of the population may have food intolerances.
More information about food allergies and intolerances / sensitivities can be found here: http://www.allergyuk.org/food-intolerance
Reasons why people may wish to undertake a food intolerance test are:
- Improved skin health
- Improved breathing conditions
- Improved gastrointestinal health
- Reduced foggy head and energy imbalances
- Reduced achy joints and muscles
- Increase wellbeing
The Food Intolerance Test
Food intolerances are due to an immune response where a production of antibodies (IgGs) are produced to fight off the offending food. Usually we find that this is due to poor gastrointestinal function, so by taking the foods out and supporting the digestive symptoms most people will find they begin to feel better. The British Medical Journal published a paper in the journal GUT demonstrating that eliminating culprit intolerant foods that had been identified via IgG testing improved symptoms of IBS for full reading of this paper please click on the link http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15361495
