Think Outside The Can
"Winter is the perfect season for a hot bowl of soup. But 92%
of the cans tested in a recent study had harmful bisphenol A, so
why not try soup in a box? Kettle Cuisine has a nice variety of
flavors that are delicious and nutritious. They have filling fiber
and protein, minimal fat, and no added sugar. They come in a microwave
bowl, (the linings are BPA free), and are ready in about 5 minutes."

Boost Antioxidants At Any Meal
"Herbs and spices can deliver just as much disease-fighting
punch as fruits and veggies, says Cheryl Forberg, RD, author
of Positively Ageless. Here's how to add low-calorie flavor
while dramatically boosting your antioxidant intake.
Tarragon, fresh, add to scrambled eggs.
Oregano, dried, add to tomato bruschetta
or chicken breast marinated in olive oil and garlic.
Cloves, ground, add to mashed sweet potatoes or
acorn squash.
Cinnamon, ground, add to oatmeal, french toast,
or applesauce.
Thyme, fresh, add to fresh orange slices with black
pepper and olive oil.
Sage, fresh, add to GF cornbread and stuffings.
Turmeric, add to curries or salad with chickpeas
and currants."

Hail Merry
Experience the Healing Taste of Gluten-Free Macaroons
“Just because a snack is gluten-free does not make it healthy;” said Susan O’Brien, Dallas raw food chef and founder of Hail Merry® Snacks. Hail Merry® offers a line of gluten-free snack foods that are also dairy-free, vegan, raw and made with organic ingredients.
Gluten-free is the new buzz word and is projected to become a $2.6 billion industry by 2012. However, most of new gluten-free products on the market are no better for you than their wheat counterparts because, although they may contain gluten-free flours, they are still laden with processed oils, processed sugars and then baked to further oxidize the oils. When vegetable oils, such as canola, soybean, or sunflower, are exposed to high temperatures, they turn rancid and can cause free radical damage to our cells which leads to chronic disease (such as cancer) and prematurely ages the body (as with osteoarthritis). In essence these gluten-free cookies, cupcakes and baked goods are gluten-free junk foods.
Gluten-free expert and cookbook author, Dr. Claudia Pillow, believes “Hail Merry® Macaroons are unique because they are made with raw plant based oils, not processed or refined oils, and then dehydrated at 115ยบ to protect the digestive enzymes and healthy oils. Most importantly, they are delicious and satisfying. Hail Merry® self-nurturing treats contain the healing power of coconut oil in its raw state.”
* IMMUNE BOOSTING: Cold pressed coconut oil contains large amounts of Lauric Acid, known for its anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties which protect against infections like the flu and strengthen our immune system.
* ENERGIZING: Coconut oil contains Medium Chain Fats (as opposed to long chains found in animal fat), which provide fuel for the body and are not stored as fat or cholesterol.
* HEART HEALTHY: Coconut oil comes from a plant, has no cholesterol and helps reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol. It was wrongfully tainted as an artery clogging fat back in the 80’s because it contains saturated fat but not all saturated fats are bad nor have they been directly linked to heart disease.
Next time you crave a decadent gluten-free treat reach for Hail Merry® Macaroons or Miracle Tarts. Two of the Choco Macaroons contain 3 grams of dietary fiber, 130 calories, and they are made with organic shredded coconut, dark cocoa, organic coconut oil, pure maple syrup, pure vanilla and sea salt. A 3.5 ounce package with 8 macaroons retails for $4.99- comparable to a high quality organic chocolate bar.

Sweet and Healthy
"If you are going to eat dessert, make it a disease fighter.
Rhubarb contains cancer-fighting polyphenols, and if you bake it
rather than serve it raw or stewed, it releases up to 1.5 times
as many antioxidants, according to a new study in Food Chemistry.
Try it: Cut 2 rhubarb stalks into 1" pieces. Place in a 3" baking
dish with 3/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons sugar, honey or other
sweetener. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour. Serve chilled
with a scoop of vanilla ice cream."
