Is Jello, Good for You?

Jello is a popular dessert that is made of gelatin, water, sugar, and artificial flavors and colors. Gelatin is a protein product derived from animal collagen, which has some health benefits, such as improving skin and hair health, gut health, joint health, and sleep quality . However, jello is also high in sugar and low in fiber and protein, making it an unhealthy food choice . Artificial sweeteners and colors may also have negative effects on your health . Therefore, jello is not a very good food to eat regularly, especially if you have diabetes or other health conditions. You can make your own jello with natural ingredients, such as fruit juice, honey, and unflavored gelatin, to enjoy a healthier version of this dessert

A Regular Folks Supper 200 years Ago - March 1820

 People’s diets in the 1800s varied depending on their location, season, and social class. Generally, people ate more fruits and vegetables in the spring and summer, and more meat and preserved foods in the fall and winter. They also cooked most of their food from scratch, using ingredients they grew, raised, or hunted themselves. Some common foods they ate were bread, porridge, soup, stew, cheese, eggs, bacon, fish, poultry, beef, pork, potatoes, rice, beans, peas, oats, wheat, corn, cabbage, onion, garlic, turnip, parsnip, pumpkin, squash, apple, pear, peach, grape, and berry. They drank water, milk, buttermilk, ale, wine, and tea. They used different methods of curing food, such as drying, smoking, and salting, to prevent spoilage. They also used various cooking techniques, such as baking, boiling, roasting, frying, and grilling, to prepare their meals.

CAULIFLOWER BREAD BUNS

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 cups finely riced raw cauliflower florets (cauliflower should be riced until they resemble coarse/large crumbs; 3 cups will be about 1/2 of a large head of cauliflower but it's best to actually measure it out)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded parmesan or mozzerella cheese
• 2 tbsp almond flour
• 2 tbsp coconut flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp dry Italian seasoning herb blend or taco seasoning
• 1 tsp white sesame seeds, substitute poppy, chia or hemp optional

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400F. In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, eggs, cheese, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning. Mix with a large spoon until everything is thoroughly mixed. Mixture should be wet but not liquid.
2. Grease the cavities of a muffin top pan. If you don't own a muffin top pan, you can also make free form ones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicon baking mat.
3. Measure out 1/2 cup lightly packed cauliflower mix. Dump onto muffin mold or onto baking sheet and press down on the middle with the palm of your hand. If you are using muffin top pan, evenly spread the cauliflower across the mold and compact it down slightly with your knuckles or fingers so that the crumbs of the bread will be tight. If using baking sheet, press down on mixture with palm of your hand and then spread and shape to form a round disc 4 inches wide and slightly more than 1/2 inch high. Compact down the cauliflower mix gently with your fingers or knuckles so that the crumbs of the cauliflower buns will be tight. Sprinkle tops of bread buns with sesame seeds.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tops are golden and cauliflower breads are completely cooked. Use a thin spatula to gently loosen the bottoms of the cauliflower breads (I recommend using a good silicone cookie spatula which usually has a very thin edge that glides easily underneath.) Allow breads to cool slightly before eating.  Borrowed recipe from Kirbie's Cravings.

Irregular Blood Pressure

Your blood pressure rises with each heartbeat and falls when your heart relaxes between beats. As a woman, you may have an increased risk of developing high blood pressure. Beyond genetics, your lifestyle plays a role. If you are 20 pounds or more overweight and if your diet is one that is higher in saturated fats, sugar, sodium, and alcohol you set yourself up for a greater risk. A healthy lifestyle in which you are active and paying attention to your food choices can help decrease your chances of having a stroke or other preventable chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease.

Food Fix: Beans. Sodium gets most of the blame for hypertension, but it's actually the combination of high sodium intake and low intake of micronutrients calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Beans contain solid amounts of all three minerals; choose low-sodium or dried beans to help your heart out even more. Get your bean fix on with this recipe for a 7 Bean Salad. Garnished with parsley and topped with shaved Parmigiano, this is a simple dish to prepare alongside any protein, perfect for a picnic, or enjoyed as a complete meal.
