New Year, New Trends

We are finally at the close of 2015, and WHAT a year it has been! As you know, we are all big foodies and love talking about anything food. Well in the food world, there is always endless food trends coming and going every year. It always leaves people thinking, “what will the next food trend be?” And it seems that everywhere you turn there is a new trendy diet or food, which after a while can get confusing and overwhelming. Well, let us help you make sense of all these food trends and make shopping for them easier! When it comes to food and diet trends, people think that one size fits all, but that is not the case at all! Each person has different taste preferences and nutrient requirements. It’s important to find something that works well for you! So, can you predict what the top food trends will be for 2016? We’ve made it a little easier for you and have done some research, here’s what we are predicting: Grab-n-go salads are predicted to be huge this year. Now these are different from your traditional pre-prepared salads or just bags of lettuce. These family-size bags come with all the toppings included in small bags that are nestled up to the greens. All you do is combine all the ingredients and you have a tasty, nutritious addition to any meal. We highly recommend the Dole Chopped Salad Kits available by the packaged lettuce leafs in the produce aisle. Probiotics, but with a twist. By now you’ve probably heard of all the benefits from taking a probiotic supplement or eating yogurt to boost immunity in your gut. Well expect this to be a major trend this year, especially in unique forms such as of Kombucha or Keifer. Breakfast for dinner, or brinner, is expected to be popular among families this year. And personally, I am pumped about this trend. I love doing breakfast for dinner because it is easy and a good break from my husband and I’s routine. The best part, the more creative you are with the meal, the better it is! Ancient grains such as amaranth, quinoa, sorghum, teff, millet, etc. have been increasing in popularity and are this is expected to continue into 2016. These grains are called ancient grains because they have roughly continued to have the same composition over the past 100 years. These tend to be higher in protein, fiber, and other vital nutrients. Keep an eye on these this year! And our final prediction for 2016 is Maca root. Ever heard of this before? This is the newest super food and is typically sold as a powder that can be added to a smoothie, drink, and so much more. Maca root has been said to help balance your mood as well as increase stamina and energy. We suggest mixing the powder with chocolate in a smoothie! You can find the powder in Living Well sections at Market Street locations.   Well these are our predictions for food trends in 2016, what do you think will be the newest food trend this year?

Gluten Free Nachos

  People traditionally don’t think of nachos as something that is considered healthy, but we are always looking for ways to make things more nutritious for you and this is no exception to that rule. This recipe combines the delicious flavors of nachos, fish, cheese and mangos. Sounds good, right?     Normally people steer away from blue colored items unless it’s produce because it’s associated with being overly processed or fake. Blue corn tortilla chips, on the other hand, are 100% natural in their blue hue because they are made from blue corn! Now you must be wondering what the difference is between blue corn tortilla chips and regular tortilla chips. Researchers have found that blue corn contains 20% more protein compared to white corn products. The blue color of the chips also means that they contain important anthocyanins which act as powerful antioxidants and scavengers of free radicals. The blue corn variety offers 30x more antioxidant power compared to the white corn varieties.   Did you know that you can also enjoy corn when you are following a gluten-free diet? Corn is naturally gluten-free and can be safely consumed by people adhering to this diet. Further, corn is also considered a whole grain and is a good source of fiber. This recipe is especially great for people who are new to the diet because typically nachos are considered a no-no. You can easily follow a gluten-free diet while still enjoying delicious nachos, especially with a simple swap like exchanging traditional corn tortilla chips for blue corn tortilla chips.     Rainbow Fish Taco Nachos   Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tilapia fillets 2 teaspoons cajun or blackening powder 6 ounces (4 big handfuls) blue corn tortilla chips 4 ounces freshly-shredded monterrey jack cheese Rainbow mango slaw (see below) Optional toppings: crumbled cotija cheese or queso fresco, extra chopped fresh cilantro   Rainbow Mango Slaw: 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced 1 mango, peeled, pitted and diced half a red bell pepper, core removed and diced half a small red onion, peeled and diced 1 cup shredded fresh cilantro leaves, loosley packed juice and zest of one lime   Instructions 1) Preheat the broiler. 2) Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add tilapia and cook 3 minutes on each side, turning once, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and transfer the fish to separate plate to cool. Use a fork to flake the fish into bite-sized pieces. 3) While the fish is cooking, spread the chips out evenly on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with the cheese. Place the sheet in the oven under the broiler until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Watch the oven carefully so that the cheese doesn’t burn.) Remove, then top the chips evenly with the mango slaw, bite-sized tilapia, and optional toppings. 4) Serve warm. 5) For Mango Slaw: Toss all the ingredients together in a large bowl until combined. Use immediately on the nachos. Read More

Naturally Dye Your Easter Eggs

  This month happens to be National Nutrition Month, Frozen Foods Month and Easter. When we were planning out our blogs, we kept asking ourselves “Is there something that would fit all 3?” As we were sitting around, eating copious amounts of fruit (as you’d imagine any dietitian meeting going), it literally popped into our head (and mouth): BLUEBERRIES! It’s the perfect food to fit all that this month has to offer.     National Nutrition Month March is National Nutrition Month. The theme for 2016 is "Savor the Flavor of Eating Right," which encourages everyone to take time to enjoy food traditions and appreciate the pleasures, great flavors and social experiences food can add to our lives.   Blueberries are the perfect way to Savor the Flavor with friends, with family, at work and on the road.  And, as an added bonus, eating these plump pearls can improve memory, cognition, mood and lower risk for heart disease.     Frozen Foods Month Frozen blueberries often get overlooked. Buying these blue beauties frozen is an affordable way to Savor the Flavor year round.   FUN FACT: You might be surprised to know that thawing blueberries in the microwave retains twice as many of their antioxidants than being thawed at room temperature or in the refrigerator.     Easter We love that you can use the juice from thawed blueberries to naturally dye your Easter eggs. Check out this fun recipe!      Materials: White eggs and carton 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries Coffee filter Wide mouth mason jar White vinegar Slotted spoon Coconut or olive oil (optional)   Instructions 1) Start with boiled eggs. Set eggs aside and let cool while you make the dyes. (Tip: Try hard boiled eggs in the oven. Place one egg in each of 12 muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Submerge the baked eggs in ice water for 10 minutes. They peel easily and taste like "butter"!) 2) To make blueberry dye, pour the blueberries into a medium sauce pot and add 1 1/2 cups of water or enough to cover the berries by about an inch.  3) Bring the mixture to a boil, cover and then let simmer on low for 30 minutes.  4) Strain the mixture through the coffee filter into the mason jar. Fill the jar only up to an inch below the brim.  5) Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the mixture. Stir and let cool.  6) Once the dye reaches room temperature, lower up to two eggs into the mixture, making sure that they are fully submerged. Add more dye if needed. 7) Refrigerate eggs in the covered mason jar until the desired color is reached. Plan for at least two hours, although overnight is recommended.  8) Carefully remove the eggs with the slotted spoon and let dry, preferably in an egg carton.  9) Optional: to give the dried eggs a nice sheen, use a paper towel to gently polish them with a small amount of vegetable oil. 10) Refrigerate dyed eggs until ready to use.

Baked Salmon with Garlic and Dijon

  Condiments are a fun way to spice up any recipe! For the month of June we are celebrating the color yellow, and what better ingredient to highlight than MUSTARD. Mustard has been around for thousands of years and was first used by the ancient Greeks for medicinal reasons. Mustard is made from mustard seeds which are considered to be high in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and selenium, which is known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Also, the magnesium found in mustard seeds can help lower blood pressure and benefit those with heart issues. Not only does mustard provide multiple health benefits, but it also packs a lot of sharp flavor for very few calories. One tablespoon of mustard is only 5 calories!! Ironically enough, Dijon mustard originated in Dijon, France, and is very different from your typical yellow “American” mustard. Dijon mustard is made with white wine in addition to vinegar which is found in regular mustard.   There are many ways to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and making small changes to your diet can have long-term benefits to your health. A few tips to remember are to include a variety of foods such as whole grains, vegetables, fruit, lean poultry and fish, low-fat dairy products, nuts and non-tropical vegetable oils. Foods to limit include saturated fat, trans fat, sodium, red meats and sweets. Because fish is a heart healthy protein option, this recipe is a great choice for those wanting to fight cardiovascular disease. Salmon is not only super tasty but also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids which help prevent your blood from clotting, improving your circulatory system and stabilizing your blood pressure. High blood pressure causes your heart to overwork and can eventually lead to a weakened heart. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish twice a week. Try to make sure your salmon is wild caught and not farm raised. For this recipe we recommend trying the Copper River Salmon! This fish has a season that stretches from May-September with the peak hitting during June. These salmon are top notch in flavor AND health benefits. Get Copper River Salmon while you can!    Baked Salmon with Garlic and Dijon Ingredients: 4 Copper River Salmon portions 2 Tbsp parsley, freshly chopped 3 garlic cloves, pressed or minced ½ Tbsp whole grain Dijon Mustard or Dijon Mustard ½ tsp salt ⅛ tsp ground black pepper ⅛ cup mild olive oil (not extra virgin) 2 Tbsp of fresh lemon juice Lemon slices    Directions 1) Preheat the oven to 450° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. 2) In a small bowl, mix together the parsley, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, cup of olive oil and lemon juice. 3) Lay salmon portions skin side down on foil lined baking sheet. Generously brush all sides of salmon with sauce and top with fresh slices of lemon. 4) Bake at 450°F for 12-15 min or until just cooked through and flaky. Don't over-cook or it will be dry.   Adapted from natashaskitchen.com   This recipe is provided by Kelsey Jones; she is a dietetic intern from Texas Tech University.

Corn Frittata

  Corn is a staple summer vegetable for most families in the south and can be used in many different ways. Corn sometimes gets a bad reputation for being a starchy vegetable, but it actually has some great health benefits! Corn supplies the body with carbohydrates which give your body energy to get you through those hot summer days! Along with carbohydrates, according to the USDA, corn is also a great source of potassium, niacin, and even vitamin A. Depending on your cheese preference, this dish will also provide you with plenty of protein and will help you build strong muscles and bones. Watching your portion sizes is one of many ways to help manage and regulate blood sugar levels, and when the correct amounts of carbohydrates and protein are consumed, your body will get exactly what it needs to perform your daily tasks.   Despite corn being a starchy vegetable, this recipe can be considered diabetes friendly. A frittata is an egg-based dish that can be served as an entree at breakfast, lunch and dinner. With the primary ingredient being eggs, this meal packs a protein punch. Protein is essential for people watching their blood sugar levels because it helps to slow down digestion in the body. Even though this recipe calls for corn, the combination of protein helps to make this a complete dish and even a great option for people with diabetes. The best part though is that you are Coloring your Basket Yellow this June!    Corn Frittata Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 cup chopped red onion (about ½ large onion) 8 large eggs 1 cup shredded (such as Manchego, swiss, cheddar, or queso fresco) ½ cup 2% milk ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper 1 cup grilled corn kernels (from approximately 1 and ¼ ears) ½ cup basil, chopped    Directions 1) Preheat oven to 350°. 2) Heat the oil in an ovenproof 10-12-inch pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for about 6 minutes, until translucent. 3) Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cheese, milk, salt, ground red pepper, corn and basil and whisk again. 4) Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the onions. Cook for 6 minutes over medium-high heat until the edges are set. 5) Transfer the sauté pan to the oven and cook for 15-18 minutes, until the top looks dry and the egg mixture is completely set. Carefully remove from oven, cut into 6 wedges and serve. Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.   Adapted from Frances Largeman-Roth   This recipe is provided by Kelsey Jones; she is a dietetic intern from Texas Tech University.

Peach and Gorgonzola Grilled Polenta Rounds

  Originally known as peasant food, polenta has become all the rage in high-end restaurants because of the laborious cooking requirements. It can be a great side dish or even a main entrée! Polenta is made from corn, and when cooked perfectly becomes a smooth creamy component to any meal. When eaten, corn can supply the body with many nutrients such as carbohydrates, vitamin A, carotenoids. The carotenoids found in corn are lutein and zeaxanthin, which have been shown to protect your eye health. If you’re in a time crunch, most stores sell pre-made polenta which can be sliced into medallions and fried up quickly in a pan. Top the medallions with a mixture of Italian sausage, cannellini beans, and tomatoes and you have a meal! Another great thing about polenta is how versatile it can be. Polenta alone is sort of bland but can stand up to any spice you throw at it. For a Cajun inspired meal add paprika and cayenne, or for a Mexican twist add chipotle! The recipe below has an Italian feel with the addition of sweet currants, nutty gorgonzola cheese and pine nuts. In place of currants, these tasty squares are also great with chopped dried figs or cranberries.   Well if we haven’t convinced you to try polenta yet, then you might be interested to know that polenta is naturally gluten-free. If you have a severe allergy or sensitivity to gluten, be sure to pick up a polenta package that states gluten-free on the packaging. Polenta is a great option for those on gluten-free diets because it is a starch alternative with endless possibilities.      Peach and Gorgonzola Grilled Polenta Rounds with Chipotle Honey Sauce Ingredients: 1 tube polenta, removed from casing, cut into 1/2-inch slices 2 tablespoons olive oil salt + pepper, for sprinkling 6 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled 1 peach, sliced thin Chipotle Honey 1/2 cup honey 1-2 tablespoon chipotle in adobo    Directions 1) Brush both sides of the polenta cakes with the olive oil, and set aside. 2) Heat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Lay the polenta rounds in one layer on the grill, and grill for 5 minutes on each side or until both sides are golden and crunchy and have grill marks. 3) Remove the cakes from the grill and place on a large sheet of tin foil. Turn the grill down to medium. 4) Top each polenta round with an even amount of gorgonzola cheese and 2 to 3 slices of peach. Carefully lift the foil onto the grill and grill for 5 minutes or until the cheese is warm and melty. Remove from the grill and drizzle with the chipotle honey. 5) To make the chipotle honey, add the honey and chipotle in adobo to a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Taste and add more chipotle if you like it smokier/hotter.   Adapted from halfbakedharvest.com    We can help you eat more fruits & vegetables!

Bagel Quiche

Looking for a new healthy and delicious breakfast idea? This Bagel Quiche recipe is packed with nutrition and is the perfect way to start your day off right! Plus, if you have diabetes, you know it is important to eat a variety of foods that contain the right amounts of carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. This recipe will help you incorporate these into your first meal of the day so you can start your day off right. Eggs have a negligible amount of carbohydrates and approximately 6 grams of protein, making them a diabetes-friendly food and an inexpensive source of high quality protein. They are also nutrient dense and have varying amounts of 14 essential nutrients including choline and vitamin D. Choline has been shown to be essential for optimal brain development, and vitamin D is needed for bone growth and bone remodeling, among many other functions. The egg whites are also rich sources of selenium, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, zinc, iron, and copper, while the egg yolks are the source of dietary cholesterol and fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Adding cheese to your bagel quiche will aid in helping you to receive even more nutrients, like calcium, which is often lacking in American diets. The high quality protein in cheese also provides the body with essential building blocks for strong muscles. Other vital nutrients found in cheese include phosphorus, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin B12. Make sure to add some of your favorite chopped vegetables to this delicious recipe to receive even more health benefits. Bell pepper, tomatoes and even broccoli would make great low-calorie additions to your bagel quiche. This recipe will quickly become one of your favorites.   Bagel Quiche Ingredients: 1 bagel (any flavor that would go well w/ egg) 2 to 3 large eggs desired fillings (such as cheese and chopped vegetables) Cooking spray   Directions 1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a piece of foil with nonstick spray. 2) Slice the very bottom of the bagel off nice and evenly. Set aside to eat, turn into breadcrumbs. 3) Carefully hollow out the bread inside of the cut bagel using your fingers to pull the bread away from the crust of the bagel (turn into breadcrumbs). Set the bagel, cut-side-up on the foil. 4) Whisk 2 eggs and pour them into the hollowed out bagel. Place desired filling choices into the egg. If the egg and filling does not fill the bagel completely, you can add another whisked egg on top. 5) Wrap the bagel up the sides with the foil, but keep the top open to the heat of the oven. Bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until the egg is completely set. Timing will depend on how many eggs used and how large the bagel is. Serve immediately. Read More

Crispy Broccoli Parmesan Fritters

Most of us know that broccoli is a healthy option when it comes to choosing different food items to put on our plate. But do you know why it is considered a powerhouse of nutrition? As we continue through the color wheel, let’s focus on this all-star green food. Not only is broccoli low in calories, but it contains many essential vitamins and minerals that our body desperately needs. Just one cup of cooked broccoli contains as much vitamin C as an orange, which helps build collagen, form body tissue and bone, and helps our cuts and wounds heal. Broccoli is also a good source of several B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and vitamin K. Each of these vitamins and minerals are a vital part of a properly functioning body. For diabetics, broccoli is a powerhouse because of its fiber. Dietary fiber can also help lower your risk of diabetes because it actually slows down the absorption of carbohydrates. Our bodies can’t break down fiber, but it still tries, which slows digestion and allows the glucose (digested carbohyrates) to enter our bloodstream at a slower pace. In fact, the more fiber a food naturally has, the smaller the impact it has on your blood sugars. Fiber is a necessary part of any diet, not just diabetic diets, because as fiber slows digestion it keeps you full longer. And when we are full longer, we tend to eat less! Today, we have a recipe for broccoli parmesan fritters that even your kids will love! What’s even better is that you can substitute the almond flour for wheat flour, which provides you with a gluten free option. These tasty, baked-not-fried fritters are a great way to deliciously stash veggies for not only your children, but adults as well.    Crispy Broccoli Parmesan Fritters Ingredients: 1 large head, fresh broccoli (or a bag of florets) 1 large egg ½ an onion 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1/3 cup shaved Parmesan cheese  1/3 cup flour (can substitute almond flour for a lower carb option) 1 teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper Olive oil    Directions  1) Chop the broccoli into florets. Discard the hard middle stem, but chop the softer stems. Place the broccoli and stem pieces in a food processor and pulse a few times until the broccoli is chopped. 2) Add in the eggs, onion, garlic, flour, and Parmesan. Pulse again a couple of times until well combined (about 5 seconds of pulsing). Stir the salt and pepper through the mixture. 3) Form 8-10 fritters on the prepared baking sheets, making sure the fritters do not touch each other. 4) Pan fry in a nonstick pan over medium heat until golden on both sides. 5) Allow fritters to cool slightly before serving. Serve with ketchup, Greek yogurt, or fat free sour cream. Read More

This project encourages people to raise awareness for food allergies and promote inclusion of all trick-or-treaters throughout the Halloween season.

Almond Crusted French Toast

Who says that heart-healthy eating has to be bland and tasteless? Our recipe for Almond Crusted French Toast with Fig Jam is sure to add some flavor without the extra fat! Eating nuts as part of a healthy diet can be good for your heart. Besides being packed with protein, nuts contain unsaturated fats (aka the “good” fats), omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, vitamin E, and plant sterols, which can help lower your cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol) is one of the primary causes of heart disease and eating nuts as part of a heart-healthy diet can lower this type of cholesterol in your blood. Nuts may even improve the health of the lining of your arteries, which can reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. When following a heart-healthy eating style, it is important to swap out higher fat foods for lower fat versions whenever possible. For example, using skim milk instead of whole milk cuts out about 8 grams of fat per cup! Not quite ready for skim milk? Even switching to 2% or 1% milk can make a significant difference. When shopping for dairy products, choose cheeses that are labeled “part skim” or “reduced fat,” and look for nonfat and low-fat varieties of yogurt. You can even use Greek yogurt in place of eggs and oil in when baking! Our Almond crusted French Toast with Fig Jam is a great heart-healthy breakfast recipe that incorporates almonds and low-fat dairy products!            Almond Crusted French Toast with Fig Jam Ingredients: For the Filling: 3/4 cup part skim ricotta cheese 1/4 cup reduced fat cream cheese, softened zest of 1 orange For the French Toast: ½ cup sliced almond 3 eggs ¾ cup low fat milk splash vanilla pinch salt 8 thick slices of challah or brioche bread 2 tablespoons butter Fig Jam    Directions  1) Whip the ricotta and cream cheese until smooth with an electric mixer. Stir in orange zest. 2) In a shallow wide bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and salt. Spread the almonds out on a plate. 3) Heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt half the butter in the skillet. Dip half the bread slices in the egg mixture, letting it soak in for about five seconds on each side. Place both sides of the bread in the almonds, pressing them into the side. Put the bread in the melted butter and grill until browned, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Melt the rest of the butter in the skillet and repeat with remaining bread slices. 4) Top each slice with a dollop of filling mixture and finish off with a little fig jam.
