This sounds very encouraging … provided the nutrition education is good (e.g. hopefully margarine and low-fat versions of food aren’t being promoted).

Future doctors are learning to prepare healthy, flavorful meals and turn nutrition advice into patient guidance in new culinary medicine programs at medical schools.

Thank goodness none of you fell for my April fool’s breakfast post yesterday! This is what I actually had for breakfast!

A buckwheat waffle topped with organic/whole fat/plain sheep yogurt, a diced fresh slice of pineapple including the core, unsweetened shredded coconut, and a TBSP of home made maple syrup.

Pineapple cores contain bromelain. Bromelain helps to digest protein. It also has anti-inflammatory properties especially when taken on an empty stomach. Some people take bromelain supplements for these reasons. Eat the pineapple core!

Sautéed some cut up cherry tomatoes and chopped up garlic in EVOO, thawed out some homemade pesto, toasted some pine nuts, and cooked some red lentil penne. Drained the penne added them in tomatoes and garlic along with the pesto and tossed it all up. Served topped with the pine nuts and some grated parm. So so so yummy and took less than 20 minutes.

Just saw this recall on the news. These brands of milk may have pieces of glass in them.

FYI, in the latest version of Canada‘s Food Guide, Milk and Alternatives/Dairy were removed as a food group and don’t have a specific recommended daily intake.

Just saw this recall on the news. These brands of milk may have what appear to be pieces of glass in them.

In case you weren’t aware, in the latest version of the Canada Food Guide, Milk and Alternatives/Dairy is no longer its own food group and does not have specific daily serving recommendations.

The affected products are being recalled from the marketplace due to possible presence of pieces of glass.

Great find at Costco today. Canadian (King City ON) greenhouse grown, pesticide free salad greens. Only $5.99 and they really are super fresh and crisp! The big plastic clamshell isn’t great though. My own home grown greens will be ready soon … 💕

I recently watched an episode of America’s test kitchen where they made a ‘Caprese torta’. It’s gluten-free (made with almond meal) so I wanted to test it for an upcoming special occasion as a guest eats gluten-free. The top of the torta cracked around the edges and some fell off, so I plated it upside down and covered it with a light dusting of icing sugar. It is soooo delicious. I just don’t like that there’s a cup of sugar in it so I’ll have to play around with that part. Other than that, the other ingredients are all ‘Anna approved’:

✔️almond meal/flour

✔️eggs (gifted by a friend who has some hens),

✔️butter (I used organic grass-fed)

✔️70% baking chocolate

✔️dark cocoa powder

✔️homemade vanilla extract

Stay tuned for the recipe with a sugar substitute solution that doesn’t mess up the taste or texture! I don’t bake a lot so the first time I try something, I don’t stray from the recipe as I want to see if I’d even like it in its original form! This one is worth experimenting with!

My last squash from last season’s harvest. What would you do with it?

I’m enjoying a Matcha tea latte made with organic, full fat goat’s milk after a lovely hike in the newly fallen snow.

I don’t typically drink milk, but when I make a matcha latte, I want a delicious and creamy ‘foam’ and I love using organic, whole fat goat's milk for that!

Did you know that goat milk offers several advantages over cows milk? Here are a few:

1 - Goat milk is generally easier to digest than cow's milk because the fat globules in goat milk are smaller and more uniform (very similar to human breast milk!).

2 - Goat milk contains only A2 casein and lacks the inflammatory A1 casein of regular cow’s milk. This means that some people who are intolerant to dairy are OK drinking goat milk.

3 - Compared to cow's milk, goat milk enhances the absorption of several key minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus - that's a lot of bone-building support!

4 - Goat milk is naturally richer in prebiotic carbohydrates (oligosacchardes) than cow’s milk. These prebiotics foster the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Gut health = overall health.

5 - Unlike cow’s milk which requires mechanical homogenization to prevent the cream from separating, goat milk is naturally homogenized. Mechanical homogenization can break down fat globule walls releasing a substance that can cause oxidative stress in the body.
