Salad! It's so healthy and great for you. Unless, of course, it contains Salmonella, in which case it can put you in a world of discomfort, hurt, and possibly death. Dole, however, wants to protect its consumers from this unfortunate fate, and have voluntarily recalled 756 cases of DOLE® Seven Lettuces salad mixes, according to the FDA. More »

Diets Decoded: The Macrobiotic Diet

post from Blisstree | Nutrition, Healthy Recipes and Fitness » EAT on 16 April 2012 11:42:59 AM. © Blisstree | Nutrition, Healthy Recipes and Fitness » EAT

Here's what I (thought I) knew about the macrobiotic diet: a) It's a lot like veganism, b) except you're supposed to avoid "nightshade" vegetables like potatoes and eggplant, and c) there's some sort of philosophical component to it. Turns out, however, that while the macrobiotic diet emphasizes whole foods and ample veggies, macrobiotic eaters aren't necessarily vegan, or even vegetarian. To learn more about macrobiotic eating, I turned to nutritionist Jonathan Bechtel, owner of the health supplement company Health Kismet. Bechtel says macrobiotics is... More »

Meatless Monday: 10 Vegetarian Spring Recipes In
Honor Of Earth Day

post from Blisstree | Nutrition, Healthy Recipes and Fitness » EAT on 16 April 2012 10:50:11 AM. © Blisstree | Nutrition, Healthy Recipes and Fitness » EAT

Earth Day is on Sunday, so this is a good week to be mindful of eco-friendly habits, especially when it comes to what you put on your plate. Eating less meat on Meatless Monday (or any other day) is a good place to start, but you can even take it a step beyond by keeping it seasonal--and what better time to do that than spring. More »

Honey Beer Bread

post from The Cutting Edge of Ordinary on 16 April 2012 09:22:47 AM. © The Cutting Edge of Ordinary

It's finally getting warm in Rhode Island.

Yesterday I had a day that I needed badly. A day to myself.

John was off to a Red Sox game, the boys off doing what they do. Jesse was home but I barely heard a peep from him, it was a day mostly for me.

I dug in the dirt. I cooked and baked what I wanted, when I wanted too. I spent hours taking pictures and editing them. I took a magazine outside and hung out in the yard reading. It really was just what I needed.

The weather is cooperating too so things are looking downright springy around here....plants are starting to bloom, flower beds have been raked, all the stuff that was piled in the shed last year has now seen the light of day.

My hydrangeas are are budding, my hostas are peeking their noses out of the ground, I'm looking through seed catalogs, I'm designing new beds in my head, I'm anticipating all those cookouts and get togethers with family and friends.

Spring really is here.

I couldn't be happier.

I love working in the yard.

I love planting and growing my own food.

I love getting my hands dirty and I still love to bake bread.

I know it's not really the bread making season, but our bread eating doesn't stop in the spring, or summer, or any season for that matter.

This is a recipe you can throw together in literally 5 minutes.

You can eat with a delicious soup, you can eat it toasted for breakfast, you can eat is as a snack.

My friend Tati was over Sunday morning and she ate it with butter and jam.

It has a touch of sweetness to it. Kinda like my day yesterday.

Honey Beer Bread Recipe
Adapted from Ezra Pound Cake
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. honey or agave nectar
1 bottle (12 ounces) beer
4 Tbsp. (half stick) butter, melted (**You can double this if you?d like**)

Makes 1 loaf

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9? x 5? x 3? inch loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a wooden spoon, stir the beer and honey into the dry ingredients until just mixed.

Pour half the melted butter into the loaf pan. Then spoon the batter into the pan, and pour the rest of the butter on top of the batter. (Use a pastry brush to spread it around if you?d like.)

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until top is golden brown and a toothpick/knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Rethink Your Healthy Drink: How Much Sugar Is In
That Coconut Water, Anyway

post from Blisstree | Nutrition, Healthy Recipes and Fitness » EAT on 16 April 2012 09:00:52 AM. © Blisstree | Nutrition, Healthy Recipes and Fitness » EAT

Last week, a photo which illustrates the amount of sugar in various drinks was making the rounds on Facebook. It surprised a lot of people, and illustrated one of the main arguments for changing current food labels: most folks just don't know what "65 grams" of sugar looks like. But it also, it seemed, gave a lot of people (including myself) a false sense of smugness. Pffft, I thought, I don't drink soda! I'm a healthy person! I know better than all of those silly Mountain Dew drinkers! Don't they understand?And then I looked at how much sugar was in the "healthy" juice drink I was sipping. Whoops. More »
