28 Day Challenge: Week Three

Whew! You’ve survived another week. We hope we’ve convinced you that a healthier lifestyle is attainable, despite how intimidating it might seem at first. Remember to keep incorporating those small challenges you’ve already made as you continue on into Week 3 of the 28 day challenge! (For more 28 Day Challenge info, click here). This week, the dietitians challenge you to simply eat more plants. That may sound easy, but did you know that the current recommendations are to fill half of your plate with fruits and vegetables at every meal? According to the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Executive Summary, over 80% of Americans eat below the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. It's probably safe to say, we could all use a little bit more plant foods in our lives. Now, we've only mentioned fruits and vegetables, but eating more plants also includes things like legumes and whole grains. So, why is eating plants so good for us? Plants are living organisms that contain properties designed to help protect them from predators and the environment. These properties, called antioxidants, function the same way in our bodies - they protect us from developing chronic disease. Antioxidants are scavengers of the by-product of oxidation, free-radicals, and help reduce the number of these harmful substances in the body. There are several different types of antioxidants, each with a different benefit and protective property that fight against an array of chronic diseases. Aside from being a great source of powerful antioxidants, plants also offer an array of vitamin and mineral compositions that all uniquely function to help maintain equilibrium in the body. There is so much more to be said about the benefits of eating plants, but remember, we’re keeping it simple!   So at your next trip to Market Street, try picking out a few new fruits or vegetables in the produce department like the new Pazzazz apples or purple potatoes. Also try a new variety of whole grains like quinoa or farro. Explore a new way to use your favorite canned beans. And don’t forget that frozen is just as good of an option too! Good luck with Week 3 of the 28 Day Challenge.   P.S.- Make sure you've entered to win one up to $500 in prizes and don't forget to spread the "health" by sharing your 28 Day Challenge commitment with friends. For each friend that clicks on your post and enters, you'll score an extra entry toward our $500 grand prize drawing! Enter or share your entry by clicking here. Good luck! Read More

Dietitian Spotlight: One Pan Chicken and Rice

A study released in 2013 found that the number of children with food allergies has increased by 50% between 1997 and 2011. There are several hypotheses for the cause of this sudden increase in food allergies, but the definite cause is still unknown. The only treatment for food allergies is complete elimination of the allergen. There are 8 foods that make up 90% of food allergies and intolerances. These are dairy, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish and eggs. With the growing rate of food allergies, our dietitian team hopes to bring awareness to this growing population as well as provide meal solutions for those families adapting to life with food allergies. As one of those meal solutions, try this quick and easy recipe that pulls dinner together in less than 30 minutes. The best part though, it only requires one pan to complete the meal - which means less dishes.

Your family is sure to love this recipe, and it doesn’t require hours in the kitchen. That's a win-win to us! And finally, this recipe is also free of those top 8 allergens previously discussed. This meal is a tasty solution for your family, especially if you must avoid allergens. Enjoy this meal idea from the dietitians, and let us help you Build a Better Meal for your family this year!    One Pan Chicken, Rice and Artichoke Ingredients 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil 4 chicken pieces (thighs, breast, legs, etc...) salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste 3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup long grain rice 1-1/2 cups organic, low sodium chicken broth 1 jar (14.75 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained ½ teaspoon dried Italian Seasoning ½ teaspoon dried oregano    Directions 1) Preheat oven to 400F.

Dietitian Spotlight: Corned Beef and Brussels Sprout Saute

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with this tasty dish!  A corned beef and Brussels sprout sauté will have you feeling festive and full of St. Paddy’s spirit.  What makes this recipe even better?  It's free of the top eight food allergens, making it a great dish to serve to family and dinner guests that have common food allergies.  More than 50 million Americans have some sort of food allergy.  Some people have mild allergic reactions, whereas others can have a more severe and possibly life-threatening response called, anaphylaxis.   The 8 major allergens are: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat (including gluten).  If you have a food allergy or are cooking for someone with one, you’re in luck with this Irish-inspired dish because it doesn't include any of the 8 major allergens. One allergy in particular not found within this recipe is soy.  Soy is commonly in many packaged foods, like crackers, breads and cookies.  It is also found in legumes, such as beans, edamame, peas, lentils and chickpeas (hummus).  On the label it may read “soy”, “soybean oil”, “soy lecithin”, “hydrolyzed plant protein”, or “May Contain Soy”.  Labels may also use the words “soya” or “soja”.  It is important to read all labels, because you may be surprised about which products can have soy.  Even gum and infant formula sometimes contain soy.    No need to worry about soy with this recipe, or any of the other top allergens for that matter.  So, enjoy this delightful dinner and may you find the secret of catching the leprechaun’s gold.     Ingredients: 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved 1 1/2 cups cooked Corned Beef brisket, cubed 1/2 cup beef stock/broth 1/2 small yellow onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, pressed Olive oil, for sauté Salt and pepper, to taste Directions: Add a drizzle of olive oil to a sauté pan and heat over medium. Add diced onions and cook until softened and browned. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Now add another swirl of olive oil and Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with the 1/2 cup beef broth. Add chopped corned beef and cook until the liquid evaporates. Serve with roasted garlic herb potatoes for a delicious St Paddy's Day meal.   Recipe adapted from 4TheLoveOfFoodBlog.com Read More

Overnight Lemon Garlic Potato Salad

  The end of April is fast approaching and we can’t conclude our white and brown month without talking about the ever popular starchy vegetable - the potato. Did you know that potatoes are the number one vegetable in the American diet? According to the USDA, the average American eats around 48 pounds of potatoes per year, and only half of that is fresh potatoes. To take it one step further, the majority of potatoes are eaten in the form of deep-fried french fries. These statistics are shocking and have greatly contributed to potatoes developing a bad reputation, especially for people controlling their blood glucose levels.    The dietitians have decided it is time to debunk some of the myths associated with potatoes and discuss how they can actually be included in most healthy diets, even a gluten-free diet! Potatoes are naturally gluten-free and provide important vitamins and minerals required for the body to function properly. Sometimes foods like potato salad can be off limits for people with Celiac Disease because of hidden gluten in products or cross contamination during the manufacturing or preparation process. This new take on potato salad is naturally gluten-free and is a great option for people with Celiac Disease. The swap of dijon mustard for mayo provides great low-calorie flavor as well, perfect for those who are watching their waistline!     We hope this recipe is a breath of fresh-air for our guests, especially with picnic season quickly approaching. You can take this salad to your next family barbecue, party, or simply have it for dinner this weekend! The great thing about this recipe is that you can do preparation the day before. Plus, if you cook potatoes, store them in the refrigerator for 24 hours, and then simply reheat them, the glycemic index is lowered from high to low or moderate. This is a great technique for people watching carbs or blood sugar levels. You can also maximize the nutrients you receive from garlic by chopping, dicing, mincing, or crushing garlic and letting it sit for 10-15 minutes prior to cooking with it. This allows you to retain ALL the nutrients available! In addition to the fact that it's delicious, these wonderful health benefits are extra reasons why you should give this recipe a try. Potatoes might have developed a bad reputation in the nutrition world, but we hope we've changed your outlook a little bit. You can still enjoy potatoes in a well-balanced diet - they are a great way to Color Your Basket white and brown this month!    Overnight Lemon-Garlic Potato Salad Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds new potatoes 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes 2/3 cup olive oil 2 teaspoons lemon zest 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1/2 cup chopped lightly salted, roasted pecans 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil   Directions 1) Cut into 1/4-inch-thick cubes. Cook potatoes in boiling water to cover 30 minutes or until tender; drain and cool 20 minutes. TIP: to lower glycemic load, let the cooked potatoes sit overnight in your refrigerator.  2) Meanwhile, whisk together olive oil and next 6 ingredients; let stand 30 minutes.  3) Toss the potatoes with olive oil mixture; sprinkle with pecans and basil.     Recipe from SouthernLiving.com   Read More

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

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.

Dietitian Spotlight: Ricotta Flatbread

Spare the headache of waiting for a table or braving the crowded restaurants - whether it's for girls night or date night, this recipe for Ricotta Flatbread with Pomegranate Salsa is a delicious treat. It doesn’t require a ton of ingredients or lengthy prep time.  Plus, it's packed with many healthy benefits. The base of this dish is Flatout flatbread which can be found in the deli section at your local Market Street store.  Using a flatbread is a good source of complex carbohydrates. This means it is more likely to keep you feeling full and satisfied long after your dinner is over. Flatbread is also higher in fiber.  Choosing foods high in fiber will help to keep you regular and can maintain blood sugar levels.  It is recommended that men should consume at least 35 grams of fiber and women should consume more than 25 grams. On top of the flatbread sits the reduced-fat ricotta cheese. We're big cheese fans, so we were excited to be able to incorporate a lower fat cheese option that is also high in protein.  This protein combined with a complex carbohydrate (flatbread) will further keep your after-dinner hunger at bay.  Ricotta also has many essential nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin A and vitamin B-12. Add the pomegranate salsa and it's a perfect pairing  Pomegranates give a sweet flavor to balance the savory ricotta cheese and flatbread, while containing additional health benefits.  They are packed with antioxidants that can help to prevent chronic diseases (i.e. diabetes, heart disease, cancer). The benefits do not stop there.  They have high amounts of vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium and provide another great source of fiber.  By themselves, the sweet flavor can also feel like you’re indulging in a dessert without the excess calories, fat and sugar. Have a little fun and spend some quality time together making this recipe! The combination of ingredients will make your taste buds happy, while you reap the health benefits.    Ricotta Flatbread with Pomegranate Salsa Ingredients         ½ cup pomegranate seeds (fresh or frozen)         ½ cup dried, sweetened cranberries; roughly chopped         1 shallot; finely chopped         1 tablespoon olive oil         1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar         1 tablespoon honey         2 tablespoons chopped, fresh parsley         1 tablespoon fresh orange zest strips         Pinch salt         1 Flatout flatbread         8 ounces reduced fat ricotta cheese         ½ cup baby arugula Directions      Place baking stone or sheet pan in oven and heat to 450°F.  Combine pomegranate seeds, cranberries, shallot, oil, vinegar, honey, parsley, orange zest, and salt in a bowl.      Place flatbread on baking stone or pan.  Toast until warm and edges are lightly toasted- 5 to 10 minutes.      Spoon ricotta over warm flatbread and spread lightly.  Arrange arugula over ricotta.      Cut into serving pieces.  Top each slice with pomegranate salsa.    This blog was written by Zelle Morefield - a Texas Tech dietetic intern working with us.  She is also completing her Master's degree in Clinical Nutrition through Texas Tech.

Dietitian Spotlight: Grilled Pizza with Goat Cheese

There are three reasons why this Grilled Pizza with Goat Cheese is the perfect diabetes-friendly recipe. 1. This recipe is loaded with vegetables. We know that veggies are awesome for us and especially for those with chronic conditions like diabetes. A study of over 2,300 Finnish men showed that fruit and vegetables may actually reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes. In fact, a New York Times article from June of last year put it simply “Good plant-based foods are known to be rich in fiber, antioxidants, good fats and a wide array of micronutrients, and have been shown to improve glucose metabolism and lower inflammatory markers.” Basically, veggies are super cool! 2. This recipe is packed with fiber. Fiber is an indigestible carbohydrate. So, essentially it isn’t absorbed and thus doesn’t affect your blood sugar. Fiber also slows down digestion so that the carbs you do eat enter the bloodstream as glucose and at a much slower rate. You are getting fiber from the peppers, zucchini, squash and onion as well as the sandwich thins! Each serving provides 9 grams of fiber which is about one third of what we need per day. 3. The pizza has a pulse! Well, technically it has pulses (plural) and by pulses I mean beans/peas from the garbanzo beans in the hummus. The hummus offers both protein and fiber which slow down the absorption of the carbohydrates in the pizza. Sadly, many people avoid pulses because they fear the carbohydrates but they overlook the fiber that comes with it. The Bean Institute (yes, that’s a real thing) reports that people with diabetes who eat beans/pea/lentils consistently have lower blood sugars after a meal, and even lower HbA1c’s (the long term measurement) than people with diabetes who don’t eat these tasty little gems. So, basically, there’s no reason not to eat this easy summer meal. Fire up the grill, ignite your taste buds and set aside any diabetes dinner doubts because you’re gonna love this grilled pizza recipe.   Grilled Pizza with Goat Cheese   Ingredients 1 each red, green and yellow bell peppers, sliced 4 small zucchini, sliced 2 yellow summer squash, sliced 2 medium onions, sliced 2 tbsp Olive oil 6 oz Lone Star goat cheese (from deli) 6 Sandwich thins, halved 1 small container (10 oz) Sabra hummus     Directions 1. Heat grill. Place vegetables in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat.   2. When ready to grill, place vegetables in a grill basket. Cook 10 to 14 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown evenly on all sides and removing vegetables from grill when crisp-tender. (Cooking time will vary depending on moisture content of each vegetable, grill temperature and distance from heat.) 3. On one half of sandwich thin, spread a few tablespoons hummus. Top with some grilled vegetables and crumble on goat cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients. 4. Return pizzas to grill for 1-2 minutes, just to heat through. Read More
