    Lightlife’s Savory Plant-Based Food Innovations

    February 8, 2018

    As I mentioned at the beginning of the year, one of the biggest food trends for 2018 will be the expansion of plant-based food innovations, such as plant protein sources and Lightlife is one of the pioneers. Read my Food Trends for 2018 article here Plant-based diets are dominating the food world.  Several manufactures are diving head first into using science to manipulate plant-based ingredients resulting as innovative products. Lightlife uses plant proteins, such as soy and beans to create delicious, healthy food choices for those wanting to steer away from meat based protein sources. What is Lightlife? In 1979, Lightlife was created to provide protein alternatives to vegetarians.  However,…

    4 Recipes to Use Leftover Holiday Ham

    December 29, 2017

    I have four recipes to use your leftover holiday ham from Christmas.  Do you plan to make a ham for New Year’s dinner?  You are going to have some leftover ham at some point.  Don’t throw it away!  Strategically plan dinners and snacks, with JoAnn’s Food Bites, and you can rid your fridge of that leftover ham. Inspirational Holiday Ham I was perusing through a Facebook Foodie Forum and stumbled upon a home chef’s post, which read, in most part… “I need inspirational recipes to use up all the leftover ham I have from the holiday.” Which inspired me to do some brainstorming and come up with at least FIVE…

    Skillet Lasagna For Two Without Leftovers

    March 31, 2017

    Three Meals for Two People Meal Three: Meaty Skillet Lasagna This meaty skillet lasagna is simple and scaled-down, requiring very little prep and it will not leave behind a wake of dirty dishes nor leftovers. Do not substitute no-boil lasagna noodles for the traditional, curly-edged lasagna noodles here because the no-boil noodles will fall apart.   Most lasagna recipes are constructed to serve 8-10 people.  Here, we just want enough to serve two people; however, this recipe is so filling, it could serve three people easily. This recipe recommends using 85% lean ground beef to cut down on the amount of grease; however, the beef is not as flavorful as Italian…

    Should We Worry About Lycopene in Our Food?

    March 23, 2017

    At a loyal reader’s request, I am taking a look at Lycopene in our food and if it can benefit a healthy lifestyle. Subscriber, Renee G said, “LYCOPENE: I would love to know what foods have it, how the body uses it, and if there is research showing effects on skin cancer rates.” What is Lycopene? (Lie-co-peen) – is a chemical compound that gives some vegetables and fruits, their vibrant color.  Found in watermelons, pink grapefruits, apricots, guava, papaya, and red oranges; and particularly high amounts in tomatoes and tomato products.   In North America, 85% of dietary lycopene comes from tomato products such as tomato juice or paste. One…

    Pasta Can Be Healthy

    November 2, 2016

    DAY 6 of my 100 Days of Real Food Challenge and my #1 issue is PASTA!  I crave it constantly. Scientific research claims when we crave carbohydrates, it is usually due to the association of comfort and our mood. Besides the energy boost, carbohydrates provide solace during stressful times. Although I don’t feel it, subconsciously, I probably am stressed due to my food restrictions for 100 days!The Process of Pasta Most standard pasta is made with refined bleached or unbleached flour, which is on the restricted list.  During the refining process, the nutrient-rich outer bran shell and inner germ layer are removed from the grain, leaving just the starchy endosperm. …
