- StumbleUpon Who came up with the idea that we are supposed to drink orange juice at breakfast? And why, if oatmeal is so good for us, do we eat that only in the morning as well? Apologies to the Palinites, but nutritionists are starting to realize that you and I like our oatmeal and OJ before we start the day because we evolved to like it that way—because enjoying the two together is healthier than eating each of them alone. Epidemiologist David R. What's more fascinating, however, is that the evolution between eater and eaten might answer the long-held question about why humans live longer, healthier lives on traditional diets. Tomatoes & Avocadoes Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a pigment-rich antioxidant known as a carotenoid, which reduces cancer risk and cardiovascular disease. "This also has a Mediterranean cultural tie-in," says registered dietitian Susan Bowerman of California Polytechnic State University. And when it comes to salads, don't choose low-fat dressings.

Magic Sauce Recipe I call this the magic sauce recipe. In part, because it makes everything it touches shimmer with deliciousness. It's magic like that. Technically, it's a riff on a chimichurri sauce - one that veered off the rails in a big way. Much tweaking has rendered it a distant second cousin. If that. Let's just start by putting one thing out there. It's as versatile as a black dress. - More Herb Recipes - - More Paprika Recipes - - More Quick Recipes - 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves 2 teaspoons sweet paprika 2 medium cloves of garlic, smashed into a paste 1 well-crumbled bay leaf pinch of red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon + fine grain sea salt 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Gently warm the olive oil over medium-low heat in a skillet or pan, until it is just hot.

Big Bear's Wife: Bacon, Egg and Cheese Ring { Bacon, Egg and Cheese Ring } This past weekend I had the chance to go down to Jacksonville, NC to visit family. Going to Jacksonville is always wonderful, but it does make me a little sad. It's where Big Bear and I moved when we got married, he was in the NAVY, stationed at Camp Lejeune, and we lived there for a few years. I loved it there. While we were there Crystal made this breakfast ring for breakfast/brunch one day and I wanted to share it with you. On a side note: I'm pretty sure that Crystal is a "Mini-Me" lol. For this recipe we did use onions in it, but when I made this at home for Big Bear the onions had to be left out. This bacon egg and cheese ring is so easy to put together.

Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Salty Almonds and Gooey Marshmallows This was supposed to be a straight-up chocolate chip cookie. But it seems now matter how sincere my intentions are to make such a concoction in its purest form, I get way to excited in the kitchen – with flour on my cheek and nose, wooden spoon securely fisted, surrounded by dirty bowls – and I completely lose the self-control to follow such a classic recipe. Today, I laced myself into an apron with every aim of making a Soft-Baked Chocolate Chip Cookie, as written by the editors of Everyday Food magazine. And why shouldn’t I continue the almond theme, by chopping up some salty, roasted almonds? But you know what? This is based on a recipe I grabbed from the latest issue of Everyday Food magazine. What is the most unusual ingredient you’ve ever spontaneously added to a cookie? Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Salty Almonds and Gooey Marshmallows Adapted from Everyday Food Magazine 1.

Coconut Chocolate Mousse | Travel For Taste When I saw this recipe I couldn’t believe it is possible to prepare the chocolate mousse from only two ingredients! You need only coconut milk and dark chocolate. At first everything is liquid but a night in the fridge turns it stiff! PLEASE visit our Facebook page and LIKE us to stay in touch! For 3-4 portions you will need:♥ 400ml coconut milk (cooled down in the fridge at least 4h!) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. It is also delicious sprinkled with coconut flakes. Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic and Cranberries This is the third recipe from my Christmas special on Food Network, and as a Christmas side dish, it’s absolutely to die for. Roasted Brussels sprouts are unbelievably delicious in themselves. But drizzle on a glossy black balsamic glaze and toss them with a bunch of tart-and-sweet dried cranberries? Fugghetaboutit , and I’m not even joking. I eat these till I bloat. I made quite a bit, so started with three pounds of Brussels sprouts. Drizzle the brussels sprouts liberally with olive oil, then sprinkle with plenty of salt and pepper. While the sprouts are roasting, combine balsamic vinegar with a little sugar in a small saucepan. Note: You do not have to add sugar to the balsamic in order for it to reduce and thicken. Right before serving, heap the roasted Brussels sprouts on a big ol’ platter. Throw a whole buncha dried cranberries on top… Then just drizzle on the balsamic glaze… And use tongs to toss ‘em around. This dish is a delicious as it is gorgeous. Here’s the handy printable:

Apple Pies & Jo In the Kitchen I know, I’ve made a few pies lately. But see how these are different? Look at how adorable these are! I mean, come on. Could you resist? I sure couldn’t. We ate them before I had a chance to think about pictures. Oops. This is why I had leftover dough for that impromptu dinner. Although this recipe is a little time consuming, it’s no harder than making any sort of real pie. It still involves slicing fruit. Rolling out crust and making it look pretty. Mixing fruit and sugar and cornstarch. And taking bites with your eyes closed so you can focus solely on each flavor. Please give these a try. Apple Pies Inspired by Pinterest 1 prepared pie dough, rolled out and sliced into strips 6-8 large apples (really any kind of apple will do) 1/3 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling onto the crust 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 or 1/2 tsp cardamom, if desired 1 tsp cornstarch Juice of a lemon or lime, mixed with 1 cup of water 1 tbsp melted butter Preheat the oven to 375F.

Brown Butter Double Fudge Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cookies Little bit of a mouthful there. But it’s like a cookie on top of another cookie! Yeah. Like total dirty cookie on cookie action. Except these ones down below wanted to try a few different positions. I dunno… they’re all mixed up. In order to solve a common I-want-a-chocolate-CHOCOLATE-cookie-but-he-wants-a-plain-chocolate chip-cookie dilemma that happens like, every single weekend here… I made both. Some of them smashed up against each other while others sat on top of each other but in the end, they all tasted… fantabulous. And then they tasted extra delicious after I spent two hours cleaning out the contents of our bar (take that as you will), after he spent three hours organizing the pantry (that was weird) and after we both needed to severely eat our emotions immediately post-Boardwalk Empire finale. WHAT was that. ??????? Why??? Then I tried to dunk a cookie in milk and failed. I need cookie dunking lessons, a redo on season 2 (thanks HBO), and a salad. [from giant rainbow cookies]
