Avocados: Full of Goodness

When you consider the fact that half an avocado contains 4.9G fiber, 354MG potassium, 15.3MCG vitamin K, 59MCG folate, 1.5G protein and 10.7G (good) fat, what’s not to like?
Creamy, buttery avocados get their taste and texture from good fats, those monounsaturated fats that help lower cholesterol.
Whether it’s the base for guacamole, or diced in a [...]

Ingredients:
Bread, English Muffin, Bagel*

NYC’s Bagels Are The Best

Published by jsfarmer under Breakfast, Food thoughts

I live in Sacramento, California, and for years, when I had a craving for bagels, I was buying them here or here, but I was never quite satisfied.

Summer Is Melon Time

Melon is a refreshing treat for breakfast, lunch, a snack or even dessert in the summertime. Most have a low calorie count (30 calories per 1/2 cup).

Ripe melons will keep for up [...]

Matcha Green Tea: A Treat For Your Tongue

Matcha (pronounced ma-cha)  is a fine, powdered green tea used in Japanese tea ceremonies, and to dye and/or flavor foods (mochi, soba noodles, ice cream).
