Dietitian Spotlight: Spinach Feta Rice Salad with Chicken Sausage

If you have a food allergy, eating out or going to dinner with family and friends can be a bit stressful. Did the person that prepared the food really make sure that the dish did not come in contact with something I’m allergic to? What if they didn’t even know? While these situations can be risky, a fool-proof solution would be to volunteer to bring your own dish. The salad below would be the perfect dish to bring as a Thanksgiving side or to your next dinner party with friends! This salad is loaded with plenty of nutrients that are both tasty and fulfilling. The whole grains from the rice add fiber which helps you feel full and energized. Mixing in veggies helps decrease the amount of carbs while providing a variety of textures and plenty of vitamins and minerals. It also makes the meal diabetic friendly - November is National Diabetes Month, after all. Lastly, the protein in the chicken sausage makes this a hearty meal suitable for any occasion. To calm your nerves, this recipe excludes eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish and wheat, which are 6 out of the 8 most common allergens found in food. And for a dairy free option, just omit the feta cheese! So, go ahead and try this out and head on to your next party worry-free.  Spinach Feta Rice Salad with Chicken Sausage   Ingredients: • 1 package Open Nature Italian Chicken Sausage (fully cooked) • 3/4 cup uncooked brown rice • 2 cups fresh spinach, sliced • 1 cup chopped cucumber • 1 medium red sweet pepper, chopped • Wishbone Garlic-Herb Vinaigrette • 1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese   Directions: 1.

Chinese Take-Out — one of the easiest ways to “prepare” dinner for your family and by prepare we mean finding the number, calling the restaurant, placing an order, and driving to pick it up.

Heart Healthy Honey and Sriracha Cashews

  Did you know that cashews are actually the seed of the fruit on the cashew tree? Cashews have been enjoyed for thousands of years. They not only taste great, but they have some great health benefits as well. Even though they are high in fat, most of the fat is unsaturated and much of it is monounsaturated. Translation: these are heart healthy fats! A recent study in the British Journal of Nutrition noted that those who ate nuts four times per week had a 37% reduced risk of heart disease compared to those who rarely or never ate nuts! Keep in mind that a serving is just a handful of cashews. While it's best to eat them plain, most people like them salted. Spices are a great way to add flavor while still enjoying the nutritional benefits cashews have to offer.      Sriracha sauce is one great way to give a dish some flavor. A little of this sauce goes a long way, so not much is needed. Add a little ginger to infuse even more flavor. Again, not much is needed. That’s the great thing about using spices – a little goes a long way!   A handful of these cashews can make a great snack to tide you over until your next meal. Or, try adding them to a grilled chicken salad for a little extra crunch!    Honey and Sriracha Roasted Cashews Ingredients: 2 cups whole cashews 1/4 cup honey 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon sriracha 1/4 teaspoon minced ginger  or a pinch of ground ginger   Directions 1) Preheat oven to 350°f 2) Mix together honey, sriracha, oil and ginger. Add cashews and mix until well combined. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 3) Bake cashews in preheated oven for 6 minutes, then take them out and stir them around. Bake for another 6-8 minutes until they reach your desired color. Let them cool (about 10 minutes) before eating.   Adapted from thehungryhedgehog.com Read More

Pumpkin Apple Bread Pudding

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen. Visit her full blog or find out more about her here. You’re joking. “Nope.” This was one of the first conversations I had with Randy, my then boyfriend now husband, when I saw him make up a monstorrous bowl of cookies and ice cream for the first time. I had never seen such a huge serving. The man loves his sweets like no one I know and it’s slightly comical that he married a woman who avoids desserts on most occasions. The apples don’t fall far from the tree– our children have inherited his love for sweet treats. With each fall season I find myself more in the kitchen baking goodies to feed my people, because of their love for sugary sweets. Their squeals (yes, even Randy’s) of anticipation and excitement fill my heart. With each successful bake, my level of baking confidence rises and I want to do it more. When I develop desserts my children are more interested in it than when I work on savory meals. They want to be a part of the whole process, so I engage them in their interest through questions. While driving to Market Street the questions begin “Mommy is making pumpkin bread this week– what ingredients do I need?” “Pumpkin!” Yes! “Flour! Eggs!” Correct! “Salt!” Right on. “Chips!” Maybe not with this one. “Apple slices.” Ooooooh I like that idea. We walk into the store, greet our friends and start to pick apples. It was if we were in an orchard– the apple selection at Market Street is abundant and bright. Shades of red fill the boxes in front of the produce section. Apples were the perfect addition to the pumpkin bread. When I bake, I like little paws assisting me. There is one rule when cooking with mommy though “if you don’t follow mommy’s instructions, you aren’t allowed to help.” They take this very seriously. It keeps the chaos to a minimum, BUT don’t fool yourselves; it’s messy and it takes more time. Yet these factors don’t outweigh the benefit of having additional help with the pouring and stirring. When cooking together we’re all learning how to work together as a team, and brother and sister are learning how to interact with one another by: taking turns “Eli, it’s Katherine’s turn to add the brown sugar, you added the flour.” sharing “You both get to stir with this spoon.” patience “There’s raw egg in the batter, we have to wait to taste it.” It also harbors an academic environment– math (measuring out ingredients), science (how different ingredients create particular results) and artistic expression (what would you put in the bread?). Kitchen and kids. The two go together. After an afternoon of baking the house smells of cooked pumpkin and apple. It greets Randy as he walks in from work. “Mmmmm. Whatcha making?” Browned Butter Pumpkin Apple Bread. “How about you turn the leftovers into bread pudding?” Oooooooh, I like that idea too. With some kind of sweet sauce on top? I know exactly what to add. Back to Market Street I go to snag some organic cream, pasture-raised eggs and Stonewall Kitchen Dulce de Leche sauce. This is going to be the best Pumpkin Apple Bread Pudding ever. “Don’t forget the ice cream!”   Pumpkin Apple Bread Pudding *Author Note: Be sure to use a smaller baking pan with this recipe. I use a 2.2 quart baking pan. A larger pan (like 9×13) will result in a thin, over-cooked bread pudding that is not as appealing as a thick one. If you cannot find a Dulce de Leche Sauce, your favorite caramel sauce or sweet topping will work.   Ingredients: 1 cup whole milk 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon whole cloves 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup sugar 3 eggs 1 egg yolk 6 cups Browned Butter Pumpkin Apple Bread (recipe below), cubed Stonewall Kitchen Dulce de Leche sauce    Directions  1) Heat the oven to 350 degrees. 2) Combine the milk, cream, cinnamon, salt, whole cloves, vanilla extract and sugar into a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stir occasionally. Do not let this mixture boil. 3) Meanwhile, place the eggs and yolk into a large mixing bowl and set aside. 4) Place the bread cubes into a 2.2 quart baking pan (for Browned Butter Pumpkin Apple Bread, see below). 5) Once the milk mixture is heated, strain it into a bowl. Measure out 2 cups of this milk mixture. 6) With the warm milk mixture, temper the yolk mixture. To temper the yolks, whisk the eggs quickly while slowly adding the warm liquid (about 1/4 cup at a time) until all the liquid is combined. (Congrats! You just made a custard.) 7) Pour the custard over the cubed bread, make sure to evenly distribute the liquid. With your hands, gently press down the bread cubes to absorb the custard and work out air bubbles. 8) Place the bread pudding into the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the custard is set. 9) Drizzle the Dulce de Leche sauce over the bread pudding. Serve warm.   Browned Butter Pumpkin Apple Bread Author note: If you’re running low on time, don’t brown the butter. Melt it in the microwave. The bread will not have the distinctive browned butter flavor, but the result is still delicious. The size of the dices are up to you. I prefer smaller apple bites. Nuts would also be a nice addition to this bread. However, we are a tree-nut free kitchen due to food allergies and I have not experimented with this addition.    Ingredients 2 cups unbleached all-purpose butter 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground all spice 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter, plus more for coating baking pan 1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree 1/2 cup white sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 eggs 2 cups apple, finely diced   Directions 1) Heat oven to 350 degrees. 2) Combine flour, cinnamon, kosher salt, all spice and baking soda into a bowl. Set aside. 3) Coat the inside of a bread pan with unsalted butter. Set aside. 4) In four small batches, brown the butter. To brown butter, use a large skillet, and heat the butter over medium heat. Cook until the butter is golden brown. Pour the browned butter into a small bowl and continue this process until the 1 1/2 sticks of butter are browned. Let the butter cool slightly. 5) With a mixer, cream the pureed pumpkin and sugar for 4 minutes. 6) With the mixer still running, add the butter, vanilla and eggs to the pumpkin mixture. 7) In small batches, add the dry ingredients. Continue to mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. 8) Turn off the mixture and add the apples. Stir well. 9) Pour the batter into the buttered bread pan. Place in the oven and cook for 75-85 minutes (or until the bread is cooked all the way through). If the top of the bread begins to look too brown, place a piece of foil on top of it. I usually do this about 50 minutes into the baking process. 10) Serve warm with butter. Read More

Black Bean and Avocado Toast

Black beans and avocados combined?! This nutrient-dense recipe is off to a delicious start! Let's start with Black beans - these little guys are great sources of iron, potassium and folate. Like other legumes, black beans are prized for their high protein and fiber content. One cup of cooked black beans provides 15 grams of fiber, which can help with weight management and reduce blood sugar spikes. Fiber is also strongly linked to a lower risk of many diseases. Don’t be alarmed by the fat content of avocados. This delicious fruit doesn't just contain any fat…the majority of the fat in avocado is oleic acid. The same monounsaturated fatty acid that is the major component of olive oil has been linked to reduced inflammation and has been shown to have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer. Try this delicious twist on toast for a breakfast that’s easy on the blood sugar. Black Beans and Avocodo Toast Ingredients: Foil or parchment paper 1 medium beefsteak tomato, cut into 4 slices ¼ teaspoon cumin ½ tablespoon olive oil 2 pieces of multigrain or seeded bread (I recommend a sunflower bread), toasted 1 small avocado ½ of a lime, juiced  salt and pepper ⅓ cup low sodium canned black beans, rinsed    Directions  1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 2) Line a small baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Spread the tomato slices out across the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cumin. Roast tomatoes for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. 3) While the tomatoes are roasting, smash the avocado in a small bowl. Add in the lime juice, salt, and pepper, to taste. Stir in the black beans. 4) Slather the toasts with the avocado mixture and top each with 2 slices of roasted tomato.

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! Cauliflower with Tarragon and Hazelnuts INGREDIENTS 1/3 cup lowfat Greek yogurt 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon 1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard 16 oz frozen cauliflower 1/4 cup hazelnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped Salt and ground black pepper, to taste DIRECTIONS STIR together Greek yogurt, tarragon and mustard in small bowl; set aside.

Dietitian Spotlight: Italian Sub Salad

Turn your favorite sub sandwich into a fresh light summer salad! This two-step recipe is very tasty and also easy on the carbs. Use this basic Italian spin to try new ingredients that add bold flavor and nutrients to this colorful dish. Like most Italian dishes, tomatoes and olives are staples. There is nothing quite like a ripe tomato, when either served on a bed of fresh greens or made in an Italian red sauce. Tomatoes are packed with Vitamin C and lycopene, a heart-protective antioxidant that may also prevent some cancers (particularly prostate). In this recipe, you will also find cured Italian meats like prosciutto and turkey pepperoni. To cure a meat simply means to preserve it by various methods such as salting, drying or smoking. Because of that, these meats are normally concentrated in flavor and salty to the tongue. The banana peppers are full of nutrients while adding a delicious sweet & sour flavor combo. This ingredient is common to Italian dishes and is a good source of vitamin E, dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K - all essential for good health.   Italian Sub Salad Ingredients 4 cups shredded romaine hearts  2 Roma tomatoes, diced 1 cup mixed Italian olives, pitted ¼ red onion, sliced ¼ cup sliced pickled banana peppers 6 ounces diced Italian meats (prosciutto and/or turkey pepperoni)   for the Submarine Vinaigrette ½ + 2 tablespoons cup olive oil 1-2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (just enough to give it some tang) 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning Pinch salt Freshly cracked pepper    Directions 1) Whisk the ingredients for the dressing together and set aside. 2) Toss all of the salad ingredients together and toss with dressing Easy as that!

A Pleasant Little Easter Menu

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  Spring is here and Easter is upon us. If an Easter ham is not in your rotation of holiday dining consider another route: roasted chicken. The beauty of this protein as the main dish is that it's easy to prepare and if done properly can be a work of art. I like to pick up my chicken from the butcher at Market Street. There’s always a conversation to be had and it’s one I look forward to. When I shop, I like to engage those who work with the food I’m about serve my family. After our conversation dies down, I select the chicken and the butcher pulls it out of the glass case, wraps it in brown paper and hands it to me with a smile. The customer service is genuine at Market Street and it makes the grocery shopping experience a happy one--which factors into making the entire cooking experience pleasant. This menu is inspired by the Easters I grew up with: fried chicken, cucumbers in vinegar, a quick salad with homemade ranch, buttered rolls and family time. For our family, time with each other was the most important element of our Easter celebration. There was no set start time, family rolled in as church was let out. No one could change clothes until all pictures were taken in our Easter finest. The goal was to be together and celebrate love. The air was crisp and always a bit windy on those Sundays. There was nothing like an Easter afternoon spent at my grandparents’ house.  Looking back, I realize how magical it was. The boundaries of holiday tradition are less rigid in the spring than in the winter---embrace this. An Easter meal should be laid back, one that can be prepared easily and without fuss. This menu is exactly that. I know that my shopping experience at Market Street will be exactly what I expect. Fresh organic vegetables, organic chicken, local dinner rolls, assortment of quality chocolate and customer service like none other---all of which will make Sunday’s preparation full of quality time with the ones I love. A Pleasant Little Easter Menu Iced Tea with Lemons Cucumbers and Onions in Vinegar Browned Butter Asparagus Grits RoRo Dinn-A-Rolls (available in the freezer section) Garlic Lemon Rosemary Roasted Chicken Fresh Berries and Chocolate   Recipes:    Cucumbers and Onions in Vinegar Author note: This recipe is near to my heart. It takes me back to my grandparents table where a bowl of vinegar with cucumbers and onions were a common occurrence.   Ingredients:  1 hot house cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced 6-8 radishes, ends trimmed and thinly sliced ½ of 1 onion, thinly sliced 1 cup white vinegar (I use a blend of white wine and distilled white) ½ teaspoon kosher salt   Directions:  1) Combine all ingredients into a bowl and let soak one hour before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.   Browned Butter Asparagus Author note: This recipe takes about 10 minutes to cook. It’s perfect for a weeknight side dish. I typically chop my vegetables while the butter is browning. This recipe is easily halved for a smaller serving size. Feel free to reduce the amount or omit the red pepper flakes if a spicy flavor is not desired.   Ingredients: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 12 ounce bundles of asparagus (ends trimmed), chopped into 1 inch pieces 2 shallots, halved and thinly sliced 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes 2 teaspoon red wine vinegar zest of 2 lemons   Directions: 1) In a medium-sized skillet, brown the butter (melt butter on medium heat, and continue to cook until it’s golden brown), about 4 to 5 minutes. 2) Add the shallots, asparagus, salt and red pepper. Stir well to combine. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the asparagus is cooked to the desired consistency. Stir once or twice. 3) Add the red wine vinegar and reduce for 30 seconds. 4) Remove from the heat, add lemon zest and stir to incorporate. Serve warm or at room temperature.   Grits  Author note: The method of preparation of grits comes from Sean Brock’s cookbook Heritage.  The measurements of salt, lemon juice and butter have been adjusted to my own preference. There is no cheese in these grits, however, white cheddar or gruyere would be an excellent addition.   Ingredients: 2 cups grits 8 cups water 2 teaspoon kosher salt 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons unsalted butter   Directions: 1) Place the grits and water in a large pan. Cover and let sit overnight, or at least up to 6 hours. 2) Skim the surface and remove the hulls and chaff that have floated to the top. Be sure to not disturb the water too much. 3) Pour the grits and its water into a large pan, enough to allow the grits to double in size. Place the pan on the stovetop. Bring to a rapid boil, and stir constantly. Once it boils and water has turned opaque. Cover and remove from the heat. Let rest for 10 minutes. 4) Place the grits back on the stovetop and cook over low heat, stirring frequently. Cook for about an hour, or until the grits are tender. 5) Add salt, lemon juice and butter, stir well. 6) Serve warm   Garlic Lemon Rosemary Roasted Chicken  Author note: There are several ways to roast a chicken and many opinions on what is the correct way. This recipe is basic in all ways. There are no tricks or special flavors. I roast a chicken every week using these ingredients because they are reliable and already in my pantry. Please note that extra-virgin olive oil is used to coat the chicken. I choose to use this oil because of my child who has a cow’s milk intolerance. Feel free to use 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter (brought to room temperature) in place of the oil. It will add a tastier and more browned crust. The amount of salt used also varies. Adjust the salt according to how large of a bird you are using. Also, purchase the chicken from the butcher and ask the butcher to remove the insides of the chicken (normally in a little bag) and truss (tie) the legs. This will save you time during the cooking process.   Ingredients: 1 3- to 5-pound whole chicken (pasture-roaming chicken preferred) 2 tablespoons kosher salt freshly cracked black pepper (to your taste) 3-4 rosemary sprigs 2 garlic cloves, halved 3 lemons, halved 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil kitchen thermometer   Directions: 1) Thirty minutes to 1 hour before roasting, remove the chicken from the fridge and begin to bring it to room temperature. Placing a cold chicken into a hot oven will increase the cooking time as well as affect the quality of the end product. 2) Meanwhile, set the oven to 425 degrees. 3) In a small bowl, combine the salt and pepper. Mix well. 4) Remove the insides of the chicken, pat the chicken dry and truss the legs. Place in a cast-iron skillet, Dutch oven or small roasting pan. 5) Pour about 1/2 the salt and pepper combination inside the chicken cavity. Then place the rosemary, 2 garlic halves and 2 lemon halves inside the chicken. Don’t worry if all the pieces do not fit inside the chicken. Each chicken is different as are the garlic cloves and lemons. At least get the rosemary, 1 garlic half and 1 lemon half inside the bird. 6) Scatter the remaining garlic and lemon around the chicken. 7) Pour the oil over the chicken and massage it into the skin. Evenly sprinkle the salt and pepper mixture over the chicken. There may be some left over and that is OK. Again, each chicken is sized differently and may not require as much salt and pepper. 8) Cook the chicken for 55-60 minutes. Place the kitchen thermometer between the chicken leg and breast. If the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees, the chicken is done. If not, place the chicken back in the oven and cook for an additional 5 to 15 minutes depending on its temperature. 9) When the chicken is done, remove from the oven, cover the chicken tightly with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. 10) Break the chicken down and then serve with the pan juices. If you plan on using for later, break the chicken down (removing the bones), place in a glass container and cover with the pan juices. The chicken will keep for about 5 days.   Fresh Berries and Chocolate   Author note: This is one of my favorite ways to end a meal. It requires very little prep time and guests love it. I tend to use a range of dark to semi-sweet chocolate bars. Use seasonal fruit: during the spring and summer I go with berries, during the fall and winter I use apples and oranges. Ingredients: assortment of fresh berries, washed assortment of chocolate bars, broken into medium sized pieces Directions:  1) Place the fresh fruit and chocolate onto a platter. For an extra special treat, melt the chocolate and drizzle over the fresh fruit! Read More
