Mgr. and Chef Brian Hutchings

I have been in the food service industry for 16 years and eating is one of the best things to do. I started out as a pizza delivery person and worked my way up to managing at casual dinning Applebee's. I live in upstate New York and we get a full spectrum of weather here so it is not always easy to fire up the outdoor grill during the dead of winter. That is why during the summer time, when you get a chance to use it you do. Holidays, camping, time with friends, or birthday parties are a great time to introduce this sauce by cooking it right on or having it on the side for dipping.

Outsmart Sugar Cravings: Super Snacks

  Many times sugar cravings can derail even the most carefully devised eating plans; however, if we substitute these healthy munchies for sweet heavy-hitters, we can snack ourselves on the way to being healthier and provide our bodies with healthy nutrition.

• Chew  sugar-free gum, which can burn more calories
• Eat an apple or a handful of baby carrots between meals.  Naturally, sweet, they can tide  us over to the next meal.
• Add protein, like cottage cheese or peanut butter, to your snack to feel even more full for a longer period of time.
• Reach for peanuts. Unlike most salty foods, peanuts will not make you crave sugar.  They’re protein-rich and very satisfying and compensate for the extra calories naturally.
• Air-popped popcorn of your own, which can be sprayed with Pam spray and then add spices of your liking i.e., chili powder etc.  this is a fiber-rich, low-calorie alternative to sweets.

http://fromadietitiansperspective.blogspot.com

 

I’m fond of shopping at Sam’s Club and they have some wonderful BelGioioso Cheese, as well.  Here’s a few things that could make your summer entertaining easier!

 

FRESH MOZZARELLA SANDWICHES

• Create deliciously distinctive sandwiches with prosciutto, tomatoes and slices of Fresh Mozzarella cheese on your favorite crusty bread.  Garnish with fresh basil and drizzle with extra olive oil.

   

FRESH MOZZARELLA BRUSCHETTA

• Create a special bruschetta by rubbing toasted bread slices with olive oil and topping with slices of Fresh Mozzarella cheese.  Broil until cheese starts to melt, then top with chopped, roasted red peppers or your favorite tomato bruschetta and serve.

Thanks for reading, and enjoy!

Rubbed the wrong way?

by Anthony J. Sepe

http://fromadietitiansperspective.blogspot.com

 

Something ever rub you the wrong way?  What are your favorite herbs and spices?Well, take a closer look at what rubs you enjoy for summer.  Mix your favorite together.  Use with and on your favorite tender cuts of chicken, meat and fish.  Gently, press into the outside flesh of the meat, chicken or fish before cooking.

 

Use some favorite 100% juice or an acid, such as an apple cider vinegar.  Then, mix with your spice that you enjoy.  Here’s one of my favorites:  mix some Italian seasoning, fresh parsley or cilantro, combine with some oregano, rosemary and thyme.  Another that would be good garlic, grated lime peel and some cracked pepper. 

Take a look at my new Kitchen Flavors:  “Herbs and Spices” for use in your kitchen. You’ll get an idea of what you might want to mix together. Have fun!!  http://www.medicalnutritiontherapyservices.com/products.html
