Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight certain cancers. Ok, so we still haven’t addressed the issue of taste. While rice alone can be a little bland, adding other healthy …

Dietitian Spotlight: Hamburger Minestrone Soup

There is nothing like a warm cup of soup on a chilly night. But, sometimes the canned version just doesn’t cut it. Besides, canned soups are often overloaded with salt, so why not make your own? This Hamburger Minestrone Soup is full of protein from the meat and beans, as well as lots of fiber from the vegetables, beans and whole grain pasta! And since December is Color Your Basket Rainbow month, this soup made with many different vegetables and beans is sure to color your basket! Fiber is a popular topic these days and for good reason! It is a type of carbohydrate found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and beans. However, unlike other forms of carbohydrates that are broken down into sugar molecules, fiber passes through the body unchanged. Because of this, fiber helps to promote regularity and prevent constipation, as well as regulate how the body uses sugars. High intake of dietary fiber has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, diverticular disease, breast cancer and constipation! Unfortunately, Americans typically don’t consume the recommended amount of fiber needed to reap the benefits that fiber can provide. The bottom-line is that we could all stand to consume more foods that contain fiber, as these foods also contain many other nutrients that promote health and well-being! This soup is a great place to start, and all the flavors will leave you so satisfied that you will forget how great it is for you!       Hamburger Minestrone Soup Prep time 5 mins Cook time 25 mins Total time 30 mins Serves: 6 servings   Ingredients     1 cup uncooked small elbow macaroni (or other small shell pasta)    1 pound 93% lean ground beef    1 cup chopped yellow onion    1 (32-ounce) carton beef broth, low sodium    1 (16-ounce) Signature Kitchen frozen mixed vegetables    1 (16-ounce) Signature Kitchen canned dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed    1 (14.5-ounce) Signature Kitchen can diced tomatoes, undrained    1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste    2-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning    1 bay leaf    Salt and pepper, to taste    Instructions 1) Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, cook beef and onions in a dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until beef is browned and no longer pink. Crumble beef while cooking with a wooden spoon or spatula. Drain off grease in a colander and return to dutch oven or saucepan. 2) Add remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. 3) Drain cooked pasta and add to soup. Stir well to combine and cook until heated through. Discard bay leaf before serving.    Recipe inspired by Taste of Home Read More

This might not seem like a ton of weight, but including the holiday’s through-out the year your weight gain can add up.

Eat Breakfast  Instead of saving the calories for the big meal, experts say that you can control your appetite better by eating a small meal in the morning.   Police Your Portions Don’t waste your calories on foods that you can have all year long. Fill your plate with small portions of holiday favorites that only come around once a year.   Compare your meal to commonly used items for accurate consumption of portion sizes.

Dietitian Spotlight: Cauliflower with Tarragon and Hazelnuts

Did you know that cauliflower is a member of the cabbage family? That’s right, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, and cabbage are all cruciferous vegetables that make up the cabbage family. All of these vegetables are also considered non-starchy foods, which means that they have very little carbohydrates per serving. Therefore, they won't raise your blood sugar very much! This recipe is great for people with diabetes, or for anyone wanting a low-calorie, low-carbohydrate dish. And since November is National Diabetes Month, now would be a great time to try this recipe! Cauliflower is a good source of vitamin C and potassium and is very low in calories - only around 30 calories in a one cup portion! Additionally, cauliflower is full of phytonutrients, specifically carotenoids, tocopherols, and ascorbic acid. These phytonutrients are forms of antioxidants that work tirelessly to rid our bodies of free radicals which can damage different components of our cells, including DNA, proteins and cell membranes. Damaged cells and cell components play an important role in the development of cancer and many other diseases. This cauliflower coated in a creamy sauce made with tarragon and topped with crunchy hazelnuts is full of contrasting textures and complementary flavors, making it a great dish that can be served as a side or stand out as the star of the meal! Also, cauliflower is a great way to Color Your Basket White this November!

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Toasted Pine Nuts, Arugula and Balsamic Glaze

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  Confession: I regularly feed my children sweet potatoes and never eat them myself. gasp I know. Making children eat vegetables that you won’t eat yourself seems a bit…dishonest? tricky? not right? Well I do this frequently when it comes to sweet potatoes, because…confession: I don’t really like sweet potatoes. As a recipe developer, one who loves food and one that encourages people to try new foods, it’s hard to fess up to food dislikes. So I’m just going to tell you now the foods I flat out refuse to eat: peanut butter bananas nuts (except pine nuts) canned artichokes capers green olives And of course, there’s sweet potatoes. However, recently I decided to act on what I frequently tell people to do: Try something new. Eat something you thought you didn’t like. Be open to new food. I felt like it was time to revisit the sweet potato and give it another try. In hopes to enjoy it, I knew the sweet potato needed pizzazz. But what? I needed Market Street. Sometimes all it takes for inspiration is to wander around the grocery store and look for something that sounds good. This is what I did for the great sweet potato revival. I walked the aisles of Market Street (sans kids, because…school) and found what I hoped to find. Delicious inspiration. The potatoes were going to be roasted with thyme, I knew that much. I also knew something green needed to top the roasted veg because a pop of color always helps make a recipe shine. Green onions were my original choice for this topper, but while browsing the fresh produce I saw a little yellow discount sticker on the organic arugula. Mmmmm….chopped arugula to top the potatoes will not only add color, BUT also more of a bite and fresh spice. Plus I could have a few salads this week for lunch. Oh, and did I mention the price drop was also appealing? The dish was well on its way, but it still needed crunch and a bit of acid. I must continue to wander. Aisle after aisle I looked and considered. Oooooooh, balsamic vinegar. The acidic element is now fulfilled. But crunch, what about crunch? During this Market Street treasure hunt I was briefly distracted by chocolate chips in the baking aisle (because…chocolate). This distraction almost felt serendipitous, because while perusing the chocolate chips I spied out of the corner of my eye the only nut I enjoyed eating. Pine nuts. Done and done. Market Street gave me all the inspiration I needed to make a side dish that was going to mark a new phase in my food journey: enjoying sweet potatoes. Once home, the potatoes roasted while the pine nuts toasted and the balsamic vinegar reduced. It was a new way to show my children that yes…mommy does eat her sweet potatoes…just like you should too.   Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Toasted Pine Nuts, Arugula and Balsamic Glaze Serves 4 Author note: This recipe is easily doubled. Serve it as a side, or even as a main dish with quinoa and a runny egg.   Ingredients: 7 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces 1 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 10 thyme branches, tied 1/2 cup pine nuts 1 1/2 cups arugula, chopped 2/3 cups balsamic   Directions: 1) Heat oven to 450 degrees. 2) Place the olive oil, salt and red pepper flakes into a large bowl. Stir. 3) Add the sweet potatoes to the olive oil mixture and stir well to coat the potatoes. 4) Place the potatoes and thyme on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread evenly into one layer. Cook for 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven once roasted. 5) Meanwhile, place the pine nuts into a small skillet and cook over medium low heat for 5-8 minutes. Shake the skillet frequently to prevent burning. Set aside. 6) Place the balsamic vinegar into a small sauce pan. Heat on high and let boil uncovered for 7-10 minutes, or until the vinegar is reduced and coats the back of a spoon. 7) Remove the thyme from the potatoes. Place the potatoes onto a platter. Top with the toasted pine nuts and chopped arugula. Drizzle the preferred amount of balsamic glaze on top. Serve warm. Read More

Strawberry Blackberry Chia Jam

  When leading our Diabetes Tours it is not uncommon for the conversation to turn to seeds when we talk about healing foods. There are sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and chia seeds. Flax has been popular for a while and chia has become popular more recently. The chia seed is exactly what you are thinking - that terracotta figurine that sprouts hair or fur on your favorite character. Go ahead and sing it - “Cha-cha-cha chia”.     Despite being a great coffee table conversation starter, chia seeds are also tiny little nutrient powerhouses, perfect for anyone managing blood sugars or diabetes. Chia seeds are high in fiber, rich in healthy plant based omega-3s and are also high in calcium and antioxidants. In a study of 20 humans with diabetes, one variety of chia helped participants control blood glucose, reduce blood pressure and lower C-reactive protein, a major marker of heart disease risk. The study was published in the journal Diabetes Care. So back to the tour, after a laugh or two about the nostalgia of a chia pet and the realization that one probably does not eat the chia pet, the question then turns to “how do I use the flax or chia seed?”   We’re glad you asked. Very simply, you could sprinkle chia seed in your oatmeal, soups, bread doughs, muffins or salads. You could also make a chia pudding (simply soak chia seeds in almond milk with a dash of almond or vanilla extract and a drizzle of honey overnight). But, today we want to share a delicious and vibrant Strawberry Blackberry Chia Jam. The ingredients are a perfect way to Color Your Basket purple this month!      Ingredients: Yield: 1 small jar   1 cup frozen or fresh strawberries 1 cup frozen or fresh blackberries 1/4 cup water 3 tbsp chia seeds 2 tbsp honey, maple or agave syrup (optional)   Directions 1) Combine the berries, water and honey in a food processor or blender. Pulse until just blended (this helps to get the juices going. You can also do this in a large bowl, using a potato masher or fork).  2) Transfer to a glass jar. Add the chia seeds and mix well making sure they are well incorporated into the fruit.  3) Place in the fridge to set. This takes at least an hour or so. Jam will last 2-3 weeks in the fridge.

Peanut Butter Banana Parfaits

  After May’s month of orange, it is finally June and time to celebrate this month’s color- yellow! There are a lot of yellow fruits and vegetables that are fun to prepare and enjoy during the summer. Today’s recipe incorporates bananas, but also yogurt, to celebrate National Dairy Month. Yogurt is a cultured milk product that provides an excellent source of calcium, vitamin D, and probiotics. Now, most of us have heard about calcium and vitamin D, but what about probiotics? Recently, they have become a very popular topic! Probiotics are live bacteria that are beneficial for digestive health. Additionally, it has been found that the addition of these good bacteria to our digestive system also strengthens our immune system! And don't worry, bananas are great too! They provide a source of fiber and potassium, essential for regulating the intestines and heart rhythm. There are just too many benefits to pass up this recipe!   We found this recipe to be not only beneficial for health, but also perfect for hungry kids! It is a combination of popular “kid foods” such as peanut butter, graham crackers, and bananas. Beyond all the great benefits from yogurt and bananas mentioned earlier, we can't forget about peanut butter! Peanut butter is always a great snack for kids (as long as there are no peanut allergies!) because it serves as a source of protein that keeps you fuller longer. Try this recipe at home and serve it as a snack! We are sure you and the kids will love this fun way to Color Your Basket Yellow!      Peanut Butter Banana Parfaits Ingredients: 1½ cups vanilla yogurt ½ cup peanut butter ⅛ cup honey 2 bananas, peeled and sliced ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs or 4 graham crackers   Directions 1) Combine yogurt, peanut butter and honey in a bowl and beat until smooth. 2) In a parfait glass, layer the yogurt mixture, the sliced banana, and the crushed graham crackers. 3) Enjoy!   Adapted from suburbia-unwrapped.com    We can help you eat more fruits & vegetables!

Bacon Mango Fried Rice

When people think of brown rice, they often think “bland and boring”.  But, it can be so much more than that.  Brown rice is a great source of B vitamins and the mineral, selenium.  Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight certain cancers.  Ok, so we still haven’t addressed the issue of taste.  While rice alone can be a little bland, adding other healthy items to it can be a great way to boost the flavor! Since May is the month we focus on orange foods, it’s a great time to talk about mangos! Mangos are a great source of vitamins A and C, both important antioxidants in the body.  One recent study has even noted that eating some varieties of mangos helps inhibit cancer cells by up to 72%!  Not sure how to pick a mango?  This is one of those fruits that you cannot count on its color to indicate how ripe it is.  Instead, give the mango a gentle squeeze.  A ripe mango will give slightly, similar to the way an avocado will give. Now that you have your mango and brown rice, let’s add in a little bacon (yes, you read correctly…bacon!).  This is a fun and unique way to enjoy some rice and mango.  If you want to turn this into a meal, simply add some grilled chicken!  Yum!  An easy and delicious meal or side dish!     Bacon Mango Fried Rice Ingredients: 5 strips of bacon, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces 1 mango, peeled and diced 4 cups day-old cooked brown rice Chives for garnish, optional but very nice   Directions 1) Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add chopped bacon and saute until almost crisp (5-6 min). Skim off excess fat, leaving about 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp in the pan.  2) Add diced mango and saute 2-3 min over medium heat until caramelized. 3) Stir in the day old rice until well combined and cook until heated through (2 min). Serve garnished with green onion if desired.     We can help you eat more fruits & vegetables!

Today something we're talking about and what you should be looking for is Green Tea! It can be found in the bulk foods section or down the hot beverage aisle. Green tea is primarily made up of polyphenols giving it many beneficial health properties. These polyphenols have significant antioxidant effects in the body, which means this tea can help your body kill cancerous cells and stop harmful growth, aiding in the prevention of many different types of cancer.

Flourless Pumpkin Gingerbread Blondies

It's pumpkin time and our foodie hearts are happy! Pumpkin is a unique vegetable that many families enjoy, especially during the fall. Although it’s considered to be a starchy vegetable, the bright orange color of pumpkin is a giveaway that it’s loaded with an important antioxidant, beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the body, which allows many important functions to be performed that benefit overall health. A diet rich in foods containing this antioxidant may reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancers, and can protect against some diseases, including heart disease. Beta-carotene has even been shown to protect us from degenerative aspects of aging.   Pumpkins are also fat, cholesterol and sodium free, and provide vitamin C which helps boost our immune systems to help prevent us from getting sick. Including pumpkin into meals, snacks and desserts will give some added nutrients with every bite! A typical blondie is a rich, sweet dessert usually in the form of a bar and is sometimes referred to as a white or vanilla brownie.  Like many desserts, blondies are made from flour, sugar, butter and eggs, give or take a few ingredients. However, these Flourless Pumpkin Gingerbread Blondies are a fun twist on the typical treat and contain just four, healthy ingredients. These blondies also help us get some fruits and vegetables in and are a great option for anyone who is gluten-free, vegan or paleo. Give these bars a try this pumpkin season! Flourless Pumpkin Gingerbread Blondies Ingredients: 3/4 cup mashed banana (approximately 1 large) 1/4 cup canned pumpkin 1/2 cup smooth almond or cashew butter 1 T gingerbread spice (a mixture of nutmeg, allspice, cloves, cinnamon and ginger) 1 T + granulated sweetener of choice (optional)*   Directions  1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, grease a small cake pan or loaf pan and set aside. 2) In a small microwave-safe bowl or stovetop, melt your nut butter. In a large mixing bowl, add the banana, pumpkin, nut butter, spices and optional sweetener and mix very well. 3) Pour the mixture into the greased pan and bake for around 20 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into pieces. Read More
