“Georgie, I was wondering if you could help me with a question I have about cereal. I heard from two separate people that they regard cereal as one of the biggest nutrition scams around. They told me that while the box may say this or that cereal has so much fiber, carbs, protein etc… that nearly [...]

What can I say, the past week I’ve been sick as a dog, but I’ve made some killer homemade yogurt and cheese. Coincidence? I think not! At least the lactobacillus in the yogurt will help me get my “good-bugs” back after the antibiotics. Foods like yogurt contain probiotics, beneficial bacteria than can aid in digestion, immune [...] I have been intending for some time to develop some microwave-only recipes, because students often don’t have access to a stove, oven, etc. It’s a fridge and a microwave and you. I’d like to give the college folks out there some alternatives to ramen, Easy Mac and takeout. So here’s one for that category. Stuffed peppers usually [...] My considerate husband made me breakfast the other day when I was home sick from work. (Of course, I did sleep until midday so you could call it lunch.) He knows I always start the day with eggs, veggies and coffee, but it’s especially nice when someone else makes it for you. Val’s Skillet Eggs A study published in the March 23rd issue of Archives of Internal Medicine reports that increased red meat and processed meat intake raises one’s risk of dying from cancer or heart disease. Additionally, all-cause mortality (dying for any reason) was increased in the people consuming the most red meat or the most processed meats. Interestingly, high [...] We all know that eating out can be tricky when it comes to watching your calorie intake. It can be hard to estimate how many calories are in an item when you didn’t cook it, and don’t know all the ingredients. New Yorkers have the benefit of the recently passed regulations requiring calorie counts to be [...] Nitrates and Nitrites are used to preserve foods and maintain the color. Most commonly, you will find them in processed meats such as ham, bacon, and hot dogs. (The labels will have “sodium nitrite”). Adding nitrite to meat preserves flavors and spices, maintains that nice pink color, and prevents Botulinum bacteria from growing. While nitrates and [...] A couple more salad pics: Baby spinach topped with pulled pork, fat free feta and roasted red peppers. I threw this together in a hurry when I was starving and ate it in about 10 seconds. And below that, here was my salad I brought to work. Spring mix, fat free feta, chopped yellow apple, dried plums, red cabbage. [...] Assembling these little guys is worth every minute. Plus, you can make a big batch and freeze them for another time. If you’ve never worked with phyllo dough before, don’t be afraid. It comes frozen and rolled up. All you need to do is thaw it, unopened, before using. Spinach and Cheese Triangles 1 T olive oil Sure, the epitome of “healthy” food in many people’s minds is salad. And “boring” might just be a word that comes to mind, but it doesn’t have to be! Salad is such a loosely defined term, it’s only as boring as the creator. It’s like casserole, you can put just about anything it. I’ve been asked for [...] Just a shout out to a couple new followers! Glad to have you on board, please drop a line if I can answer any questions or if you’d enjoy hearing more about a particular topic. And … they’re off! Last night was our final session for another group class, which means sending another handful off as [...] Last night was the Rutgers University Strongman Challenge, known as RU Strong. Hundreds of competitors came out to flip tires, throw heavy objects over barricades, and generally have a good time grunting like cavemen (and cavewomen). It was a blast. I don’t think it betrays my femininity to declare flipping a truck tire as the most fun [...] A short tidbit today while I crank out my thesis research. Some of the health disparities between high and low income groups and racial minorities can be explained by the availability of healthy food in poorer or richer neighborhoods. Neighborhoods in which a greater percentage of inhabitants are below the poverty line or of ethnic minority simply [...] In case you didn’t know, I teach a noncredit class for Rutgers Recreation called Food For Fitness. It’s a grocery store tour – that’s right, we actually go to a store and walk up and down the aisles, talking about the best choices, labeling claims, comparing brand items, etc. We’ve been running it for oh… 3 [...] High cholesterol, known as hypercholesterolemia, is often treated with prescription medication. But like many other health conditions, elevated cholesterol levels often respond to nutritional strategies as well. Truth be told, significantly reducing your cholesterol through diet and lifestyle alone takes more work than filling a prescription and taking the pills as directed, but there are some [...] You’ve heard me mention often the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. To help cure what ails you, (and prevent what doesn’t!) omega-3 fats area potent way to boost the quality of your diet. Salmon is one of the species highest in omega-3 fatty acids. It’s a great pick to help meet the recommended 2 servings of fish per week. [...] |
