Hi! As of this week I'll be attending the 5:30 p.m. meeting rather than the 7:00. I'm Wren, frustrate the hell out of poor Debi by my inability to keep my mouth shut, and every week go through the grocery flyers and type up everything I find that looks to be both of a good price and healthy/WW-friendly/minimally processed. I add various bits of information found on the Internet. If my printer were working I would have printed this out as well and brought copies for everyone -- sorry. Disclaimer: NOT an official WW publication, only my hobby.
Lots at Fooducate, including surprising sources for calcium (sardines! Well, yeah, you do eat the bones), making rather than buying bread crumbs, a proteiny salad of chickpeas and black beans, a far more complete than you'd ever wanted list of all the ingredients in a Big Mac, and a healthy and natural way to turn your fruit smoothies an alarming shade of pink. Grist has information on Chapul's new line of cricket-based protein bars. (Bear in mind that Americans' intake of protein in most cases exceeds requirement.) And the New York Times has an editorial, “Breeding the Nutrition Out Of Our Food”.
Recipes! It's blueberry season, and Chow.com has seventeen fresh-blueberry recipes. Also bell peppers stuffed with feta cheese, easy beef kebabs, and a lightened-and-herbed potato salad recipe (shallot-and-Dijon vinaigrette instead of mayonnaise). Smitten Kitchen has another and very different potato salad (this one involves lobster), homemade Sangria with so much fresh fruit floating in it it must qualify as a dessert (fruit is free! Freeeee!), and a Greek salad. Sprouted Kitchen has salmon kebabs. Simply Recipes provides a Mediterranean chicken salad, chipotle-salsa baked chicken (the illustration's a bit disturbing, but really it's only four ounces of cheese for six servings), and a Mexican shrimp cocktail. And Snack Girl has soft-boiled eggs with toast soldiers, superfast salmon, and – all blessings on her – emergency solutions for when you NEED a sweet but have only 3 PointsPlus left.
The new crop of red grapes is in. The new crop of red grapes is ubiquitous, omnipresent, inescapable.
This is June, rather inexplicably National Turkey Lovers' Month. Also National Seafood Month, National Soul Food Month, National Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Month, and National Iced Tea Month. This Sunday is National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day, incorporating both fruit and vegetable. And the 11th is National German Chocolate Cake Day. DYK of the week: German chocolate cake is not German. It originated on the back of a package of German's brand baking chocolate.
