 Winter certainly has a reputation for heavy, hearty meals. While hearty meals are comforting in these cold months, sometimes they’re not the most nutritious. Why not spice up your supper menu with a summer inspired recipe? We love the recipe below from Allrecipes.com because it incorporates healthy protein, whole grains, fruit and vegetables all into  It’s time for the biggest unofficial US holiday of the year, the Super Bowl! Those two words bring one thing to mind: Party!! It isn’t a great Wisconsin party without great brews and Festival’s wide selection of beers and low prices make it THE place shop for your Super Bowl party.  Whether you’re new to being gluten free, have been for years or are not gluten free at all, you always need new recipes to fall back on. In 2011 I did a lot of experimenting with new recipes, as well as tweaking old recipes to suite my new gluten free lifestyle. Since we are now Trying to find food that is both family-friendly and healthy can be a challenge, especially when trying to fit in fruit, vegetables, and whole grains at every meal. Finding recipes that include these aspects can be a great solution. This is why we love the below recipe from Quaker Oats so much!

A recent report put out by the Hartman Group gives us an interesting fast-forward look at how our food culture in the United States will likely shift in 2012. Some of the key highlights from the Looking Ahead Food Culture 2012 report include:  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! We spent time with friends and family and even managed to get in a little skiing. Pictured is my husband Bob, son Riley, and daughter Ireland on the slopes. Winter is long in Wisconsin so we figure you might as well get outside and enjoy it! Stuffed peppers are a pretty common dish here in the Midwest. Take a meatloaf-type mixture, stuff it in a bell pepper, top it with some cheese and/or tomato sauce, and bake. They are fairly straightforward and not overly difficult to prepare, but they’re not always the healthiest of dinners. This week we decided to feature Christmas has come to pass, and at this point in the week, most of us are ready to move on from the ham, turkey, goose, or turducken that graced the table for your holiday feast. With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season winding down, we now have the New Year to look forward |
