Easter/Spring Fruit and Vegetable Recipes, Free Resistant Starch Handout, Importance of Side Dishes With Tips and Recipes

Good morning Usman,

Have you ever heard of resistant starch? Though starchy foods in general have gotten a bad rap, resistant starch actually has surprising health benefits. Get the details and download a free handout about resistant starch in the post Resistant Starch: A Different Kind of Fiber.

But wait, there's more! This week, the Food and Health Blog also features The Importance of Side Dishes to Balanced Eating, a guide to the whys and hows of side dishes. Whether you're looking for healthful cooking inspiration or a new take on the structure of mealtimes, this post has got you covered.

And, Dora Christian, Nutrition Program Manager of Cornell Cooperative Extension, asked us to make our annual Easter/Spring fruit and vegetable creations so we happily obliged. View our Chocolate Poached Pears, Salad Tulips, and last year's Easter Rabbit Fruit Salad. Happy Passover, Happy Easter, Happy Spring!

Have a healthful week!

Resistant Starch: A Different Kind of Fiber

Resistant Starch: A Different Kind of FiberHave you ever heard of resistant starch? Though starchy foods in general have a bad name, resistant starch actually has surprising health benefits. We outline those benefits, both in this post and in the free handout that we've attached as a grand finale...

What is Resistant Starch?

 

The Importance of Side Dishes to Balanced Eating

The Importance of Side Dishes to Balanced EatingSide dishes are awesome. Most people don't appreciate these nutrient workhorses of healthful meals, but the right side dish actually involves very little extra prep work for a serious health reward. Of course, choosing the right side dish makes all the difference.

For example...

 

 

Chocolate Poached Pears

Chocolate Poached PearsMost of the time pears are poached in wine or liqueur. But you can poach them in a light chocolate syrup to give them a light chocolate flavor and warm cocoa hue.

See how easy it is to make them...

 

 

 

Salad Tulips

Salad TulipsLooking for a new Easter salad idea this year? Take a look at our salad tulips. They are great as one serving or as a way to serve salad on a pretty brunch table.

See how we made them...
