Grilled Turkey Tenderloins
| | |
2 lbs. turkey tenderloins
1 tbsp olive oil
1 thinly sliced onion
1 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat one side of grill to medium-high, the other side to medium.
Heat a saucepan. Add the olive oil and saute the onions until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar, honey, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until it thickens (about 10 min.).
Brush turkey tenderloins with sauce. Grill turkey, covered, on medium heat side of grill, 4 minutes on each side, basting with more sauce after you flip.
Remove turkey from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Drizzle remaining sauce over turkey slices and serve with some lovely grilled summer squash. Yummmmmm!

Tip of the Week - Bone Health
| |
Have you noticed that your knees are a little stiff and sometimes scream at you when you try to get up off the couch? As we age we expierience normal wear and tear on the joints, but we may experience a loss of bone mass as well. Not to worry though, you can avoid knee and hip replacement surgeries and their long recoveries by starting now to take better care of these joints and bones. Through exercise, diet and supplementation, you can increase bone mass and minimize your risk for osteoporosis and arthritis.
Let's start with diet. Calcium and Vitamin D are very important for healthy bones.
Vitamin D is currently the most serious Vitamin deficiency in North America. Some studies have recently shown that the mighty vitamin D also protects us against rheumatoid arthritis. Most docs now recommend between 2000 and 3000 mg. a day of vitamin D.
The new studies on calcium indicate that we only need about 500-600 mg from supplementation as we get the rest of our RDA (750-1000 total) of calcium from the foods we eat. More than that can increase you risk of heart attacks, and even increase your chance of a hip fracture! So review your daily intake.
But, vitamins aren't the be all, end all. You should get as much of your vitamins from food as possible and here are a few foods that contain vitamin D - oily fish like Alaskan salmon or sardines, fortified soy milk, orange juice and whole grain cereals.
Calcium is plentiful in dairy, but did you know that sheep cheese has about twice as much calcium as cow's milk cheese? Also, broccoli, dried figs, kale, collards and healthy nuts like almonds can provide your body with lots of calcium. I knew there was a reason I love Almonds!
Vitamin K helps activate proteins that are involved in the structuring of bone mass. Low intake of vitamin K has been linked to low bone density. You can get your vitamin K in swiss chard, kale, parsley and spinach, broccoli and cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, liver, soybean oil and wheat bran. In addition, avoid eating too much protein - excessive protein can promote calcium loss from bones - and too much caffeine and sodium can promote calcium loss so do be careful of those.
Glucosamine and chondroitin are two compounds which stregthen cartilage and improve joint mobility, which then slows osteoarthritis related damage to the joints. They are available anywhere vitamins are sold.
And you all know that Exercise is important for keeping our bones strong. Weight bearing exercises like walking, hiking, and Pilates classes are all good for our bones and our hearts.

From the Page to the Stage
|
|
"From the Page to the Stage" is a two-day intensive public speaking workshop. It's a highly focused retreat of high-impact coaching that will transform you into a high impact speaker.
If you want to be as influential and persuasive on the stage as you are on the page, then you need to be in this course!
There are 3 sessions available this fall in Ottawa, Toronto and Las Vegas but there are only 20 seats available in each session.
I have had the pleasure of working with Steve and I can tell you he will show you simple, easy ways to keep your audience on the edge of their seat for hours with small adjustments to your speech! Steve truly is the best of the best speaker coaches.
Because there are only 20 seats in each, these sessions will sell out as fast as Steve's first program did, so ACT NOW!
All the details are HERE!

A LITTLE HUMOR |
Have you heard about the garlic diet?
You don't lose much weight, but from a distance your friends think you look thinner!
Why did the tomato go out with a prune!
Because he couldn't find a date!
Flight Attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
