Dandelion Salad with Goat Cheese & Tomato Dressing
Cultivated dandelion greens are a bit milder than their wild cousins,
but they still have some bite-easily tamed with bacon and cheese in
this salad.
Makes 4 servings, 2 cups each
Ingredients:
Dressing
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar 2 teaspoons maple syrup 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt Freshly ground pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon Salad
8 ounces orecchiette, or small pasta shells, preferably whole-wheat 2 slices bacon 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced 2 cups chopped dandelion greens, or arugula, any tough stems removed 2 cups baby spinach 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation:
Combine goat cheese, vinegar and maple syrup in a
food processor and blend until combined. Add 1/4 cup oil and tomatoes
and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tarragon. To
prepare salad: Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add pasta and
cook according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water and
set aside. Cook bacon in a large skillet over
medium heat until crisp, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.
Crumble when cool. Wipe out the pan. Add 1 tablespoon oil and onion and
cook, stirring, over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Let cool. When
the bacon and onion are cool, toss them in a large bowl with dandelion
greens (or arugula), spinach, Parmesan and 1/2 cup dressing. Drizzle
more dressing over each serving, if desired. (Cover and refrigerate the
remaining 1/2 cup dressing for up to 3 days.)

Spring Clean
Your Diet
Spring has arrived, and with longer
days and warmer
weather comes a new crop of fresh produce. It's the perfect season to
"spring clean" your diet, so out with the heavy fall and
winter fare
and in with springtime fruits and veggies!
Strawberries
These sweet, juicy
berries are nutritional jewels with just 1 cup offering 3.5 grams of fiber and
meeting 100 percent of your daily vitamin C needs!
Peak Season:
April- June
Asparagus
Dubbed the "food
of kings" by Louis XIV of France,
asparagus definitely have a royal nutritional profile.
Low in fat and high in fiber, these tender stalks are a good
source of iron, B
and C vitamins.
Peak Season:
March- June
Radishes
Radishes are root vegetables with a distinctive flavor that
ranges from mild to sharp, depending on variety. One cup of sliced red radishes
will give you 30 percent of your daily vitamin C requirement in less than 25
calories.
Peak Season:
January- March
Apricots
For a boost of beta-carotene, potassium, vitamin C, and
fiber in a sweet 50-calorie bundle, be sure to bring home apricots from the
local farmers' market.
Peak Season:
May- July
Rhubarb
Rhubarb stalks
(the only part of the plant that should be
eaten) are very tart but when sweetened, give rich flavor and texture to sauces
and pies. Rhubarb can also be blanched, diced, and added to salsas and salads.
Peak Season:
January- June

Natural Weight Loss Tips
It is estimated that over 60% of American adults
are overweight, with a statistic like that, diets and weight loss
programs have become popular in recent years. The conundrum is to lose that
weight while staying healthy and NOT using drugs and gimmicks that may be more
harmful in the long run. So, here are some tips to help lose the extra weight the natural way.
Make Meals Last Longer
Eat slower and chew your food better. Its a fact that it takes the body
almost a half hour to signal the brain that you are full.
Water, Water, And More Water
Water stimulates your
metabolic rate, which helps the body process stored fat. A large glass
of cold water just prior to a meal helps shrink your stomach, hence you feel
full quicker.
Hot Spicy Foods Can Help
Scientific studies have proven that hot, spicy foods can
increase metabolism by as much as 40%.
High Fiber Foods
Fiber helps
digestion and you will feel
fuller faster and remain full longer.
Stay Positive
Keep a
positive outlook and your self esteem will follow suit. The better you feel
about where you are going, the more likely you are to get there and realize
your weight
loss goals.
Flavor And Taste
Unfortunately, fat and carbs account for most of
the taste of many foods. This is easy to counter, though, with spices and
strong flavorings like vinegar, chili powder and tarragon. Using these spices
makes your food more exciting.
Exercise
And Then Exercise
Some More!!
Get out and walk or just do some household
chores. Start a garden and keep it up. All you need to do is get your body
moving. In order to lose weight, your body has to burn more calories than it
takes in. So exercise is vital to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
