Kitchen Strategies for Healthy in a Hurry!


It's a challenge! We know we should eat more healthfully, but we get waylaid by the urgencies of work, the demands of everyday life, and the complexity of putting all of our nutritional knowledge together and on the table in a timely manner. IN THIS ISSUE, we're serving up some ideas for finding some new, healthier favorites to put in your cooking repertoire. The day starts with a healthier breakfast sandwich, a delicious squash and apple soup for lunch, and seared scallops on a bed of oranges for supper. Plus, we turn "power foods" into powerful snacks. Small changes toward healthier eating will add up!

A couple of our favorite recent posts on Facebook:

Dec 26 - Tip of the Day: If you have trouble removing a just-baked cake from a pan that doesn't have a nonstick surface, set the hot pan on a well-dampened dishtowel for 5 minutes. The steam it generates will help release the cake.

Oct 26 - Tip of the Day: To smooth bumpy icing (but not icing that actually has lumps in it) after a cake has been ice, pass a blow dryer on low heat over the surface until the bumps disappear!
