Making Trail Mix

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

After I read the article “Trail Mix with Gourmet Nuts – A Perfect Snack,” I decided to try it. I had always wanted to make my own trail mix, so now was the perfect time. I purchased nuts online from a wholesaler, along with the oats and some of the dried fruits. Then I roasted the oats together with honey until I had clusters. I mixed everything together and added M&Ms. It was the best trail mix ever and I had made it!

Todays Typical American Food

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Back in the 1950s, Americans served spaghetti, but in the translation of that era, this was a heavily ketchup-laden dish, sometimes served with processed cheese. That Americanized version of this Italian dish lacked the delicacy and charm of the real deal and might have fit into the category of Typical American Food. However, Italian restaurants, run by Italians, produced the true, homemade spaghetti. Americans flocked to these restaurants to indulge in the many hearty and delicious Italian dishes. Today, the Italian cuisine has become so popular, we have cooking magazines devoted entirely to Italian food, now typical American food.

Cajun and Creole style food was perhaps the first occurrence of fusion food in America. French, Caribbean and African cuisines contributed to these unique dishes. Back in the day, you literally had to travel to New Orleans to experience this culinary delight.

Staying Alive with Organic Foods

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Have you read the paper lately or watched the TV news programs?  If so I’m sure you’re aware that the studies show that chemicals in our food and our environment are making us sick and in some cases killing people.

This has been a problem for years.  Why aren’t we all eating organically grown foods and dumping the fast food and frozen pizza down the drain.

The problem is that organic food can be so much more expensive and home cooking takes a fair amount of time.   But as we age many people are wanting to have better health in their old age.  One of the things that will make this happen is the for mentioned “eating organic foods� and also eliminating all chemicals from your diet.   This may seem extreme. But lets look at the recent guest on the Dr Phil show who talks about the sores on her body that are extruding some type of fibers and it turns out  that there are at least 1000 people so far in the US suffering from this same “unknown� disease.  The fact is baby boomers are the first generation of chemical laden children (children fed on foods packed with chemicals and preservatives) to grow old.  Maybe it’s time to get into Organics!

Fast Food Can Stimulate As Much Pleasure As Heroin

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Ever wondered why Happy Meals and other fast food in general never fail to bring a smile to your child’s face? That’s because fast food can stimulate as much pleasure as heroin can! Ann Kelley, a neuroscientist at the University of Wisconsin Medical School, the behavior of rats after the were given sweet, salty and fatty foods. She found a link between the brain’s pleasure chemicals and a craving for this type of food. She stimulated the rats’ brains with a synthetic version of the natural opioid enkephalin. This caused rats to eat up to six times their normal intake of fat. In addition, Dr Kelley identified long-lasting changes in rats’ brain chemistry - similar to those caused by extended use of morphine or heroin.

Happy Meal can start early in life

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

I don’t know what happened but it happened very early in my daughter’s life. She was barely speaking when we drove by a McDonald’s and she uttered the words French fries. Though I know she may have had a happy meal or two, I wasn’t sure why she was so familiar with the golden arches. Essentially, McDonald’s foods taste very good. This doesn’t mean that I want her to eat there all the time though. I had to find out why she was so familiar with that particular restaurant….

Starting a Fast Food Business

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Starting a fast food business, especially your first one can be extremely daunting as there is so much to learn before you can start trading. But if you get it right you could be laughing all the way to the bank. People will always need to eat and with the pace of life picking up, and the projected growth in population forecast for the UK over the next decade, there has never been a better time to start. There is definitely an opportunity for an independent fast food retailer to grab a slice of the profits as many people are fed up of the traditional fast food franchises.

Gourmet restaurans are galore in Portland

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

I always did love gourmet food. My mother was a brilliant cook which I enjoyed while I was growing up. She would cook every single night, and almost always make something different. I really don’t know where she got so many different recipe ideas from. All of them seemed perfected, and yet she very rarely repeated any of them. The only recipes that she would cook more than once were the ones that we really liked. If people asked for them, then she would cook them again. There is nothing quite like her cooking. The only thing that even comes close is going to a gourmet restaurant….

Restaurant Guides

Friday, June 13th, 2008

It is possible for people to make health food choices if they only have a short time in which to prepare their meals. The first thing to realize is that it is often the case that healthy choices do not always mean a need for two-hour meals. A person can choose healthy foods that are quick and easy to prepare at home or to pickup from a takeout place. Cities often provide restaurant guides in their telephone books that display full-page menus indicating what a particular restaurant or drive-thru offers. Many of these food vendors now include healthy alternatives to their usual fast-food selection.

Junk Food - Why Do We Eat it?

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

What would you consider to be unhealthy or junk food? Most people pinpoint fast food restaurants and sweets as the first choice. At this point, I think it’s pretty obvious what falls into the junk food category and what does not. Treats like chips, movie theater concessions, candy, chocolate, soft drinks, cakes, pies, and pizza are all clearly foods that do nothing great for your body or health. However, we all already know this. But it definitely doesn’t stop us from purchasing these foods on a routine basis. I even know of health nuts who eat poorly on occasion. Hey, we all love some tasty junk food. Therefore we’ll all look for ways to eat it sometimes, whether we typically stick to a well-balanced diet or not. Believe it or not when it comes down to it, much of the convenient foods that are bad for you, are also convenient and often less pricey than the healthy foods.

Fast Food Chains

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

There are dozens of fast food chains in every part of the world, making it quite difficult for anyone to have a strict diet. Who would want a salad when they could easily have a large fry and an entire pizza? Unfortunately, the foods that taste the best are often the worst for your body. While we usually ignore this important fact, it is crucial that we at least try to consume nutritional food four days out of the week.

Homemade Salsa Canning Tips -Important Info You Need to Know!

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Canning salsa recipes must be done properly to avoid any health risk.

Weight Loss Camps

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Twenty-five years ago weight-loss camp campers were mostly teenage girls who were at least 100 pounds or more overweight. The menu usually consisted of food such as beef liver, fish and alfalfa sprouts and the only form of exercise was running and doing sit-ups. The ultimate goal at these overnight summer camps is to lose as much weight as possible in as little time as possible. They were often considered special needs camps. There are also many teen and adult weight loss camps.
