Food of the Week: Sweet potatoes

clipper's remarks: Desserts made with sweet potatoes are an autumn favorite but can be enjoyed year round. Try making sweet potato pie, bread, muffins or pudding.

The sweet potato has yellow or orange flesh, and its thin skin may either be white, yellow, orange, red or purple. Sometimes this root vegetable will be shaped like a potato, being short and blocky with rounded ends, while other times it will be longer with tapered ends. There is often much confusion between sweet potatoes and yams; the moist-fleshed, orange-colored root vegetable that is often called a "yam" is actually a sweet potato

Sweet potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark and well-ventilated place, where they will keep fresh for up to ten days.

Serving Ideas:

Purée cooked sweet potatoes with bananas, maple syrup and cinnamon. Top with chopped walnuts.

Steam cubed sweet potatoes, tofu, and broccoli. Mix in raisins and serve hot or cold with a curried vinaigrette dressing.

Baked sweet potatoes are delicious even when served cold and therefore make a great food to pack in to-go lunches.

Interesting facts about Apricots

Do you know which of the fresh fruits is more nutritious and virtually fat-free?

You guessed it right.

It is Apricots. The tiny fruit, classified along with plums, and grown in typical continental climates characterized by cold winders, is an ideal fruit that gels well both in snacks and in desserts.

The fruit, ranging in a size between 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm in diameter, has high fiber content very low calorie content. Besides, the fruit, normally found in yellow or orange colors with a tinge of red especially in those parts that are more exposed to sunlight, is a very rich source for beta carotene and minerals like potassium and iron.

The high content of potassium and iron in this fruit helps in proper functioning of the muscles and the nerves and also aids in maintaining the appropriate blood pressure levels and balancing of the body fluids.

Eating a diet high in processed food increases the risk of depression, research suggests.

What is more, people who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, the University College London team found.

Data on diet among 3,500 middle-aged civil servants was compared with depression five years later, the British Journal of Psychiatry reported.

They split the participants into two types of diet - those who ate a diet largely based on whole foods, which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish, and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat, refined grains and high-fat dairy products.

Those who ate the most whole foods had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who at the least whole foods.

It is not yet clear why some foods may protect against or increase the risk of depression but scientists think there may be a link with inflammation as with conditions such as heart disease.

. If you've never made a fresh pumpkin pie, you are missing out. And, by the way, most canned pumpkin is made of squashes, rather than actual pumpkin.

Pumpkin from scratch is a bit of a pain, one has to puree it or it's a bit stringy, but it keeps well in the freezer, so it is worthwhile. I think so, anyway.

How to get your children eating healthy

How to get your children eating healthy

Eating out is one of the most favorite family activities. It improves family bonding and lets parents spend more time with their kids. But have you ever thought of healthy cooking for kids? You can still eat at the dining table and have that same bond, minus the expensive bill and unhealthy food.

Start with the basics. Avoid fried foods. Kids love fried everything. Whether it’s chicken, fries, hotdogs, or burgers- they love it. When cooking these foods, you can either decrease the oil when frying or use healthier alternatives like boiling hotdogs and removing chicken skin. Burgers and fries are to be avoided whenever possible, but if your children crave for it, give them small portions occasionally.

Sweets are one of the main culprits to why children gain weight. Moreover, chocolates and candies make your kids hyperactive. Healthy cooking for kids is not limited to the main courses. You could also make adjustments through the desserts.

Tom Cruise And Katie Holmes Workout With Sex(Katie Says,”By Having Sex 3 or 4 Times It Reduces 1/5 Pound Of Fat”)

Celebrities, Celebrities News, News, News Celebrities

Tom Cruise’s 47-year-old metabolism is different from Katie Holmes’ at 30. We’ve seen them out jogging recently, but maybe there’s a more fun way to exercise.

It’s reported Katie’s promised to stop buying so many desserts, and her baking has come to an end. As far as burning the calories though…there’s always sex. Apparently Katie has learned that a person can burn up to one-fifth a pound of fat by having sex three or four times a week. No prob! Running through the city streets didn’t exactly suit them both either.
