Just in time for National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie day this Saturday, Fooducate has a recipe for 4-PointsPlus-per-serving strawberry rhubarb crisp! They also analyze the claim on Clif Kids “Fruit Rope”, that each of the less-than-an-ounce snacks is “equivalent to one serving of fruit”. (Upshot: consuming “fruit juice concentrate” is NOT the same as eating fruit.)
Chow.com teaches how to steam jimmies at home. They don't tell where we Arizonans are going to find jimmies (live Maryland blue crabs). For something with ingredients easier to find, they've got a recipe for sauteed snow peas with shallots: 6 PointsPlus per serving, but you could cut that to 4 by cutting the rather lavish ¼ cup of oil in half. At Serious Eats they're playing Make Your Own, including chicken tikka masala (yum) and alcoholic gummy-bears (um … yeah).
Summer Tomato's got an entertaining post on how to make healthy meals sound more appetizing: “A recent study showed that food is more satisfying if it is described as 'tasty' rather than 'healthy',” so when announcing what's for dinner, PILE on those adjectives as if you were composing a restaurant menu: Farm fresh! Organic! Heirloom! Crisp! Tender! Roasted! Tossed! Savory! Warm! Chilled! Seared! Poached! You might fool your family, and who knows, maybe even yourself.
According to the CDC, fast-food burgers have tripled in size since the 1950s.
The 11th is National Corn On The Cob Day. Corn on the cob is better than anything. The 11th is also Royal Hot Dog Day, the anniversary of the day in 1939 when President Franklin D. and Mrs. Roosevelt served hot dogs to the visiting King of England, George VI, and Queen Elizabeth (mother of the current Queen). The 10th is National Herbs and Spices Day – better for you than salt! And the 13th, one week from today, is my own personal holiday: Kitchen Klutzes of America Day. (It is only in recent years that I have been able to set foot in a kitchen without my friends preparing to alert Poison Control, the fire marshals, and the Environmental Protection Agency.)
