5 Tips For Serving Gourmet Cheese

Whether you are having a cheese party or simply want to serve a gourmet cheese course as part of your dinner party, it is important to know the best way to serve the cheeses. Correct preparation, plating and pairings can make the difference between a successful cheese tasting and one that doesn't go quite as well.

Selecting The Cheeses

The first thing to do any time you are serving gourmet cheese is actually making the selections. The ideal is to give your guests a variety of tastes and textures to try and this means that you should go with cheeses that are slightly different from each other in this respect. You could try offering the creamy texture of fresh mozzarella, the harder texture of some well-aged cheddar and maybe add something your guests probably haven't had before such as cheese curds. Ideally you want between three and five cheeses.

Cheese Temperature

Although you store your cheese in the refrigerator you never want to serve it cold, especially if it is gourmet cheese. The best thing to do is to remove them from your fridge around an hour before you plan on serving them. When the cheese reaches room temperature you and your guests will be better able to enjoy its flavor.

Save Bold Flavors

It is always tempting when serving gourmet cheeses to offer one with a bolder flavor such as Jurassic cheddar that has been aged for seven years or a strong Swiss. That is completely fine but the important thing to remember is to always serve the boldest cheese last. If you serve it too soon, your guests will still have the taste in their mouths and not be able to fully appreciate the other gourmet cheeses you have on offer.

Cutting

Not everyone has a large supply of cheese knives but if you plan on serving multiple types of gourmet cheese, it is time to make an investment. That is because you never want to cut different cheeses using the same knife as it can transfer the flavors, causing them to mix.

Are Energy Drinks Hazardous to Your Health?

Do you know of a teenager that is addicted to energy drinks? Energy drink consumption for teenagers and people in their twenties is the fastest growing group in the soft drink industry, with sales totaling a whopping nine billion dollars. In fact, they are quite popular on most college campuses, and among adults in the workplace. Many of these energy drink companies are finding ways to maneuver the FDA, and do not have to report how much caffeine or even disclose certain information to the FDA. Many people are becoming dependent upon these drinks, as they feel that they perform better during physical and mental activities, can stay up longer to study, fight fatigue, increase metabolism and athletic ability. The CDC reported that "one in three adults consumed an energy drink within the past week, 21% had drank them more than once in the last week, and 11% consumed more than three energy drinks per week". The most alarming trend is that these drinks are commonly coupled with alcohol, and research shows that college students consume more alcohol when mixed with energy drinks.

Drinks such as Red Bull, Monster, Rock Star, AMP, 5-Hour energy, and others contain such ingredients as caffeine, Taurine, sugar, (even more sugar, such as sucralose and high fructose corn syrup), synthetic vitamins and chemicals, and other flavorings. Side effects can include:

Caffeine: According to the Mayo clinic, caffeine has been shown to cause anxiety, nervousness, tremors and shakes, dehydration, headaches, rapid hard rate, difficulty breathing, increased blood pressure, irritability, and lack of sleep. It stimulates your central nervous system, making it difficult for many people to sleep. Red Bull among many other energy drinks that contain a lot of caffeine, causes the body to leach calcium, resulting in weaker bone structure, which can then contribute to Osteoporosis when taken over a long period of time. Red Bull is banned in Norway, Uruguay, France, and Denmark because of its many adverse effects.

Taurine: An essential amino acid, Taurine helps regulate bodily levels of water and salt, and is an anti-oxidant. It also plays a role in helping cardiac patients with angina and respiratory issues. The University of Utah reports that consuming only one amino acid supplement like Taurine can alter nitrogen balance in the body, lower metabolism and put undue stress on kidney function. Increased Taurine supplementation in children can cause stunted growth.

Sugar: With an abundance of extra sugar such as glucose and sucrose, tooth decay and other dental problems can develop, not to mention adrenal and pancreatic problems. Rockstar contains 102 grams of sugar!

A healthy alternative: drink orange juice, and eat orange slices to help improve circulation and oxygenate tissues. Apples are great fruits to increase energy as well! So goes the saying, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away".

Alarming statistics include:

• A federal agency, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, reported energy drinks caused over 13,000 emergency room visits in 2009.
• Children are drinking more caffeinated drinks, and are averaging 60-70mg per day, and sometimes as much as 700mg per day.
• 33% of US teens, and 50% of college students consume energy drinks and caffeinated beverages on a consistent basis.

Do Energy Drinks help athletes perform better? Creighton University conducted a study on 17 college males, to research the effect of sugar-free Red Bull on weight lifting. The study determined no improvement in lifting after consumption. Another study was done by Utah State University with a low-calorie caffeine energy drink with Taurine on 20 NCAA Division I football players, and they did not run faster or perform better in various athletic tests.

When choosing a drink, water is your best bet. You can even consider adding lemon / lime drops to your water. Smoothies with added fruit and a quality protein powder also helps with energy. Do your research to determine which drink is right for you, and what positive and negative effects they may cause

Tiramisu Recipe: No Cookin', Just Chillin'

Preparation Time: 25 minutes plus a few hours in the fridge to chill.
Cooking Time: None

Ingredients for 4 to 6 servings
2 eggs, yolks and whites separated
300gr / 10.5 oz. mascarpone cheese at room temperature
1 x tbsp of sugar
2 to 3 drops of vanilla extract or the contents of a vanilla pod
Zest of an orange
100ml / 3.5 oz. of cold strong black coffee (good quality like espresso)
80ml / 2.7 fl. oz. Vin Santo - Italian dessert wine (or Marsala wine is also good)
About 12 savoiardi (Italian Sponge finger biscuits)
Sifted cocoa powder and some grated dark chocolate which contains 70% cocoa solids to decorate.

Method
1. Whisk the egg whites with an electric whisk until they reach stiff peaks and set them aside.
2. Add the Vin Santo to the coffee in a bowl and set aside.
3. Mix the mascarpone, sugar, vanilla and egg yolks in a separate large bowl and whisk with the electric mixer until evenly combined.
4. Fold the egg whites bit by bit into the mascarpone mix, adding half of the orange zest also. To do this use a metal spoon, the clean thin edge of the metal makes it easier to work everything together. The important thing is not to lose too much of the air in the egg whites that you have whisked in.
5. Put a little of the cream mix in the bottom of your serving dish.
6. Dip the biscuits in the coffee and wine mix, making sure that they take up the mixture but that they do not disintegrate. They will take up the liquid very quickly and easily as they are quite dry.
7. Lay the biscuits out over the cream mixture in your serving bowl.
8. Repeat until the mix is finished or your bowl if full. The last layer should be cream.
9. Dust with cocoa powder, rest of the orange zest and grated or shaved dark chocolate.
10. Cover the dessert and put it in the fridge. It needs some time, preferably overnight, but 5 to 6 hours is mostly good enough.

Tips and Variations
• Try using Marsala wine or coffee liquer instead of Vin Santo. For something stronger you can go for Amaretto.
• This is a classic Italian dessert. It translates as "Pick me Up", I'm not going to argue with that! It is actually based on the English trifle. Not often that English cuisine is celebrated by other cultures in this way, although, I am sure that the Italians would say their version is better.
• You can also try a version with half mascarpone and half whipped cream.
• Make as one large tiramisu on as individual portions in glasses.
• Don't keep this dessert for too long, I tend to use it no later than the next day. The reason being is the use of raw eggs. Although it tastes so good I am sure you will have no worries in this area!

English Trifle Recipe

Preparation Time: 40 minutes plus time for the jelly to set.
Cooking Time: none

Ingredients for 6 to 8 Servings

Layer 1: The Cake and Jelly Base
400gr / 14 oz. strawberries chopped roughly
3 or 4 x tbsp Marsala wine
2 x tsp icing sugar
500ml / 1 pt. (roughly) of strawberry jelly
300gr / 10.5 oz. of a shop bought Swiss roll style cake cut into 1.5cm / 0.6 in. slices
Layer 2: Crème Patissiere
6 x large egg yolks
120gr / 4 oz. caster sugar
50gr / 1.7 oz. plain flour
500ml / 1 pt. of whole milk
4 or 5 drops of vanilla extract
A little icing sugar
Layer 3: Cream and Decorations
300ml / 10 fl. oz. cream for whipping
Optional - 1 x tbsp Marsala wine to mix into the cream
You can decorate as you wish, but some of my favourite decorations are chopped strawberries, pomegranate seeds or other berries.

Method

The Cake and Jelly Base
1. To start, the base. Place the strawberries in a bowl with the icing sugar and 2 x tbsp of the Marsala wine, mix through and set side to macerate for 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Place your Swiss roll slices evenly and tightly into the bottom of your trifle serving bowl, drizzle over the other 1 or 2 tbsps of Marsala wine.
3. Make the strawberry jelly as per the instructions on the packet.
4. Cover the cake with the chopped strawberries, spreading them as evenly as you can. Pour the jelly over carefully, not too quickly, allowing it to get down into all the nooks and crannies and soak into your cake.
5. Place the base in the fridge to allow the jelly to set. Normally this takes about 4 hours. I very often make the base the day before I plan to serve the trifle.

The Crème Patissiere

6. I tend to make crème patissiere rather than custard as it gives a thicker, stiffer finish. Custard tends to stay a bit runny, and the trifle collapses after the first spoonful is served. To start the crème patissiere take an electric whisk and beat the egg yolks in a bowl with about a third of the sugar until the mix becomes pale yellow.
7. Add the flour and whisk until everything is incorporated evenly, no lumps, and the it has thickened a little.
8. Heat the milk in a pan (not a non-stick pan) with the rest of the sugar and the vanilla. Just as it comes to the boil, remove your pan from the heat and pour about two thirds of the hot milk into your bowl containing the egg and sugar mix. Stir quickly with a metal hand whisk for a minute then add the rest of the milk and continue stirring quite firmly until everything is smooth and evenly incorporated.
9. Put the pan back on a medium heat and pour your crème patissiere into the pan. Stir continuously with your metal whisk. As it thickens you may have to stir quite vigorously. Let it bubble gently for 2 minutes and then remove from the heat.
10. Sprinkle over a very thin layer of icing sugar and allow your crème patissiere to cool. The layer of icing sugar prevents the formation of a 'skin'.
11. Once completely cool it will be quite thick. Spread it over your set jelly base. Be a bit gentle as you do not want to break the top of your jelly.

Cream Topping and Decorations

12. Whip your cream with the icing sugar until it becomes stiff and holds its shape. You can fold through the Marsala at this stage should you wish to use it.
13. Spread the cream over the crème patissiere layer. I like to do this very roughly, not smooth, lots of peaks and bumps makes it look attractive.
14. Sprinkle over your berries and decorations.

Tips and Variations

• You can of course make your own jelly using gelatin sheets, and add fresh flavours.
• I like to keep it simple by using shop bought Swiss Roll, but of course you can make your own cake. Simple ones work best, like Madeira cake. It's also a great idea to add some of the flavour you are using through your trifle in the cake base.
• Once you have practiced this a few times you can play around with the fruit flavours to keep it seasonal.
• If the crème patissiere is cooled, but not as thick as you would like it, put it on your jelly base and then return it to the fridge for a couple of hours to set it stiffer.

Healthy Snacks to Include in Your Kid's Lunch Box

Giving kids healthy snacks does not end at the 4 walls of the home. Since they spend most of their day in a week at school, it is important that the snacks they consume are just as healthy as those that you give them at home.

Snacks are definitely non-negotiable for kids. Make them eat their plate of vegetables over dinner and for sure you need to promise them their favorite snack choice and use it as bait. Even adults have a strong penchant for snacks, but the kids definitely take the top spot.

Below is a list of healthy snacks for kids that you can put in their lunch boxes. These healthy snack options are relatively easy to find in your favorite supermarket.

1. Cheese. No one can ever go wrong with cheese. Kids love it, especially if it is formed into fun shapes. Some kids even get to finish their cup of vegetables provided that melted cheese is spread all over it.

Buy low-salt cheeses from your favorite grocer's rack so your kids get the dose of protein and calcium they need. Cheese is a good alternative for kids who simply do not love drinking milk (unless it is chocolate flavored). Be creative with cheese by cutting it into fun cubed shapes and putting it on a stick alternately with cubed fruits such as apples, bananas, pineapples or grapes. You have instant cheese and fruit kabobs.

2. Sliced fruits. Having a container filled with sliced fruits can stink once your child opens it for recess. Organic fruits are healthy, yes, but it can easily rot especially if contained moisture is high. So, instead of slicing fresh fruits and throwing it all together in one container, why not have a pack of sliced fruits instead?

Today, there are a lot of sliced fruits such as sliced apples, sliced mangoes and sliced kiwis that you can purchase directly from the supermarket. These sliced fruits are usually dried already so it is quite reminiscent of chips. With a pack of sliced fruits for snacks, it can help kids develop a natural affinity for fruits. While there are kids who just love munching on fruits, there are a handful of those who simply do not and a little dose of creativity can go a long way if you want them to love fruits. Buy packs of sliced fruits that they can munch on during the day. You'll never go wrong with it.

3. Vegetables with dips. The best vegetables to eat are those that are raw. They say that steaming vegetables lose its nutrients, hence eating vegetables raw is the best way to get all its vitamins. To make the experience of eating vegetables better, why not include dips in your kid's lunch box? Cut carrots, celery, cucumber and zucchini into sticks. Include dips such as ranch, thousand island, hummus or guacamole on the side. While it is early to introduce low-fat dips and dressing to kids, it wouldn't actually hurt to do so since store bought dips and dressings are high in cholesterol and calories.

The Wonders Of A Clementine

Often associated as a healthy offering at Christmas time, the Clementine is in season from October right through to February. The reason why they are often so appealing is due to their desirable seedless characteristic which sets them apart from the tangerine. They are typically a sweet and juicy fruit which are less acidic than other oranges.

Another reason why Clementine's are so loved is because of how easy they are to consume. For instance all you need to do is simply peel the skin and then it is easily separated into a minimum of eight sections. This makes them a popular piece of fruit in many children's lunchboxes.

The exact origin of this variety of orange is debatable. It was first thought that they were discovered by a Father Clement Rodier whom was growing fruit in his garden for an Algerian orphanage. It is believed that two different species of citrus fruit created a hybrid which formed the Clementine's that we know and love today. On the contrary to this, others state that it actually originated in China several thousand years ago where accounts have been found describing something similar to the nature of a Clementine.

There are many nutritional benefits of a Clementine such as:

It clementine is rich in vitamin C like other members of the orange family. This particular vitamin cannot be produced inside the human body and therefore has to be taken externally. It is vital that we get vitamin C into our body because it boosts the immune system and also fights cardiovascular disorders. A lack of vitamin C can lead to horrible diseases such as scurvy which is commonly associated with sailors between the 16th and 18th centuries.

The fruit contains a high amount of fibers which helps the functioning of the digestive system.

Clementines are also high in potassium which is a mineral important for mental alertness and storage of energy. It also keeps your heartbeat regular.

The growing season for the clementine does not overlap with the traditional orange and therefore you can gain the great benefits of a citrus fruit even when other members of the orange family are not in season.

Here are some great easy ideas for how you could cook Clementines, for example you could try making:

• Orange marmalade
• Add it into a wintry salad with some sliced red onions, walnut and melted Brie
• A nice warm baked clementine cake
• Clementine, cranberry and pork

Whatever you choose to do with your Clementines it is sure to taste wonderful. So instead of just adding one to your pack-up why not get inventive and make some great dishes with this citrus fruit

Restaurants rethink kids' meals

Restaurants are seeing less of their youngest and arguably fussiest customers. Not only are parents taking children out less frequently, but kids themselves say they would rather eat at home, forcing operators to rethink their child-focused offerings.

From more healthful fare to programs designed to engage kids in the culinary process, options designed to lure in families are popping up at chain and independent restaurants alike — and working to increase sales and traffic.

“For business it has been tremendous,” Ype von Hengst, executive chef of the 14-unit Silver Diner, previously told Nation’s Restaurant News in reference to an overhauled kids’ menu. “We are getting younger families back.”

The Rockville, Md.-based family-dining chain revamped its kids menu in April 2012, increasing traffic and improving sales through the addition of such items as teriyaki salmon, brown rice and edamame. Von Hengst developed the menu by bringing in a panel of 31 customers aged 5-12 to judge the items. Twenty of those items fit the nutritional criteria set by the National Restaurant Association’s Kids LiveWell program — which publicly informs parents of healthful kids' options at participating restaurants — and all of the entrées come with fruit or vegetables and juice or milk. Soda and fries are only available upon request.

During the menu’s first year, sales of salads jumped 63 percent, strawberry sales doubled, the chain sold 31 percent more vegetable sides and entrée sales grew by 2 percent, according to von Hengst. At the same time, sales of high-calorie sides dropped 45 percent and soda sales fell 12 percent.

For many, family traffic is increasingly hard to come by, according to recent reports. Most kids would rather eat at home than in most restaurants, according to Y-Pulse, a Chicago-based firm that specializes in studying kids and young adults.

A survey of 500 boys and girls ages 8 to 13 released in August found that 58 percent of kids love eating at home and 39 percent like it. That’s a 97-percent favorable response.

However, they like restaurants, too, Y-Pulse found. Ninety percent of respondents said they like or love chain restaurants with waiter service, 89 percent said they like or love quick-service restaurants, and 80 percent said they like or love independent restaurants. But their incidents of eating out are dropping, according to another study by The NPD Group.

The Port Washington, N.Y.-based consumer research firm reported that, for the year ended June 2013, consumers overall made 7 percent fewer visits than they did five years earlier — 194 instead of 209 — while households with incomes under $45,000 with kids under 18 visited 16 percent less often — 145 times instead of 173. More affluent families with kids visited an average of 181 times, down nearly 12 percent — an indication that it’s not only the economy but also other factors that are keeping families at home.

“What’s out there has not been attractive to families with kids,” NPD analyst Bonnie Riggs told NRN in November. “They want something different, too.”

Restaurants tighten gluten-free operations

Many restaurant chains are instituting rigorous policies for preparing and serving gluten-free offerings as awareness of gluten allergies and intolerance rises.

And while several operators said only about 1 percent to 3 percent of customers request gluten-free items, all insisted that taking extra effort to make such foods safely is good for business — and will keep them in compliance with upcoming mandates from the Food and Drug Administration.

“There’s no question that when you’re in a busy period and have to go away from the main line and make a gluten-free pizza, it’s a challenge,” said Bill Hancox, vice president of 40-unit Boston’s Restaurant & Sports Bar in Dallas. “But we didn’t want to see it as a problem, we wanted to embrace it and do what we could to make those customers comfortable.”

Done correctly, a Boston’s cook leaves the line, washes his hands, enters a walk-in and dons a clean apron and gloves. He then assembles the pizza on a manufactured crust using tongs and a ladle set aside for that item. Once baked, the pizza is cut with a specific knife on a clean cutting board.

Hancox makes sure that employees are following protocol with secret audits, in which he orders a gluten-free pizza and observes how it’s made.

Cooks also leave the line for gluten-free items at Russo’s New York Pizza and its sister concept, Russo’s Coal Fired Italian Kitchen. Gluten-free pizzas are baked in a convection oven on the sauté line, which is separate from the restaurants’ pizza ovens.

“We’re hand-tossing our dough, so they can’t be anywhere near all that flour,” said Anthony Russo, owner of the 32-unit Houston-based company.

He recently had his third-party toppings maker rework its recipes to ensure they were gluten-free.

“We also cook our gluten-free pastas in separate water,” he said.

At 60-unit Costa Vida, gluten-free corn tortillas are cooked first thing in morning so the comal can be sanitized and readied for flour tortillas. Corn tortillas are then stored in a closed container and opened only when necessary.

“When we’re making any item on the line, our goal is to never let any utensil touch the tortilla” or it’s considered contaminated, said Brian Collins, a Costa Vida store general manager. “If that happens, we change it out immediately.”

Collins father, Sean, who is CEO of the fast-casual Mexican chain in Lehi, Utah, said positive press about the mostly gluten-free menu has boosted sales noticeably, and now gluten-free orders comprise 5 percent to 10 percent of all orders.

“We were like most restaurants; 1 or 2 percent of our orders used to be gluten-free,” Collins said. “Now that we have a reputation for serving high-quality gluten-free [menu items], and we have to live up to that.”

When customers makes gluten-free inquiries at Tupelo Honey Café, servers immediately provide them with a gluten-free menu and ask whether they have celiac disease or want to remove gluten from their diet. According to Misse Caves, a regional operations manager for the six-unit Asheville, N.C., chain, each restaurant’s POS system has been programmed to ensure no mistakes are made with such orders.

“An entire screen comes up with gluten-free items only,” Caves said. “It’ll ask the server if the customer has an allergy or no allergy, and it won’t let them move past that until that’s stated.”

When printed in the kitchen, the order bears large type stating it’s gluten-free. If the customer is a celiac sufferer, the words “gluten allergy” are printed extra-large to stand out.

Caves said the expediter then calls out the order, and the cook with the gluten-free item leaves the line to prepare it. Once finished, the gluten-free item is marked with a toothpick and carried separately to the table — never with other food items on the same tray.

Like Hancox, Caves also conducts secret spot audits by ordering gluten-free items.

“I do it without them knowing it, and then I go see how they manage the process,” said Caves. “If I see people miss a step, they get retrained.”

Restaurants promote healthful menu platforms for new year

Losing weight is a perennially popular New Year’s resolution, and, as usual, restaurants are offering better-for-you menu items for the growing number of consumers who look for them in January. But this year, chains’ prevailing strategy is to use the opportunity to launch or promote long-lasting healthful platforms, rather than just introduce limited-time offers.

At Jack in the Box, all of the 2,250-unit chain’s breakfast sandwiches can now be made with egg whites at no additional cost. To promote the move, Jack in the Box has introduced a new Egg White & Turkey Breakfast Sandwich as a permanent menu item. The sandwich is made with egg whites, grilled turkey, sliced tomato and American cheese on a classic bun, and has 250 calories and 6 grams of fat.

Sister chains Einstein Bros. Bagels, Noah’s New York Bagels and Manhattan Bagel have introduced new Thintastic Bagels, which have 35 percent fewer calories than its regular bagels. Thintastic Bagels are available in plain, whole wheat and everything varieties with any of the chains’ sandwiches.

Jamba Juice has added a new line of Whole Food Nutrition smoothies to its offerings.

“As consumers become more aware of the benefits of getting their daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables, we are determined to support their everyday health and lifestyle needs through our delicious products,” chief brand officer and senior vice president Julie Washington said in a press release.

Dovetailing with consumers’ growing interest in adding protein to their diets, the three new smoothies contain between 10 grams and 14 grams of protein each.

The Kale-ribbean Breeze features mangos, kale, passion-mango juice, Greek yogurt and chia seeds. The PB Chocolate Love combines chocolate, peanut butter, bananas, 2-percent milk and a whole-grain boost high in fiber and protein. The Carrot Orange Fusion blends orange juice, whole carrots, Greek yogurt, soy milk, mangos, bananas and chia seeds.

Del Taco celebrated the new year by introducing Turkey Tacos at its 547 locations. The new, permanent menu item has 150 calories and 33 percent less fat than its beef tacos. Customers can also order turkey in the chain’s CrunchTada tostada items.

“We’re proud to accommodate the growing number of guests who prefer turkey as a protein option but still want great flavor,” executive vice president and chief brand officer John Cappasola said in a press release. 

Dunkin’ Donuts has expanded its DDSMART menu of with the introduction of a Sliced Turkey Breakfast Sandwich and a 320-calorie Whole Wheat Bagel.

The sandwich is made with three slices of turkey, an egg and a slice of reduced-fat Cheddar cheese, served on multigrain flatbread. It has 310 calories. It can also be served as a Wake-Up Wrap on a warm tortilla, for 160 calories.

Panera Bread isn’t introducing new items per se, but is starting the year with a challenge for its MyPanera loyalty program members to lose five pounds in six weeks, in part by eating the chain’s 1,534-unit chain’s Power Bowls.

The high-protein, low-carb items are on the chain’s secret menu, that until now was available on its website but not on menu boards, and is promoted through its MyPanera program.

Starting Jan. 1, the Power Chicken Hummus Bowl — chicken, cilantro jalapeño hummus, baby spinach, cucumbers, diced tomatoes, and red onions, lemon juice and cilantro — and Power Breakfast Egg White Bowl — two eggs topped with roasted turkey, avocado and tomatoes — appear on menu boards.

Panera invites its MyPanera members to download the Lose It! app by FitNow and log their activity. The chain promises to provide a “motivator” each week, as well as weekly awards and a grand prize trip to a Sandals resort.

Caffeine & The Craze Looked At By Gabriel Pediatrics

People have to understand that some drinks are not exactly the best when they are taken in to tremendous degrees. Caffeine falls in line with this and it seems like different types of coffee are taken in more so nowadays than just about any other period in time. Specifically, this is becoming more rampant amongst young people as opposed to any other group. What does this mean, you may wonder, and is it the kind of tremendous problem that many make it out to be? I believe this is a subject that Gabriel Pediatrics, for instance, can cover.

WBUR posted an article that spoke about how younger people are consuming these types of beverages more so than they have done before. For example, did you know that - in this day and age -people within the 17 to 18 age group are drinking twice as many caffeinated products than they have ten years ago? To say that this can elevate concerns would be something of an understatement. In fact, you may be stunned to realize that three fourths of children within the United States drink coffee from day to day.

I believe that the idea of children consuming caffeine should be noted, especially when it can be done at earlier ages. Keep in mind the presence of soda, for example, in the household; unless stated otherwise, this is going to contain caffeine. However, I'd argue that this is an easier time for it to be regulated since parents have much more of a say in what their children eat or drink. With teenagers rarely being limited to their houses, such a level of regulation is not as prevent.

In fact, Gabriel Pediatrics - as well as other medical specialists - can state that this is something that will occur and simply has to be kept track of. What this means is that teenagers should be aware enough to the point where they can say, "Maybe I should cut back," if they seem to be going overboard on caffeine consumption. Unlike very small children, teenagers are reasonably apt to making their own choices and understanding what is best for themselves. Caffeine may be addictive at times but it's not like it can't be regulated, according to names like Gabriel.

In fact, the idea of individuals becoming so hooked on caffeine that they cannot stop drinking it is a little hard to believe. A mocha now and again is fine but are individuals honestly going to consume one every single day without a break or two within the week? I do not think that this is the case and, eventually, people are going to get tired. If there is a chance that they do not grow bored of this, though, that is where a greater focus on moderation has to be seen.

There are coffee-makers that use cold water, grounds, and an extended steeping period of at least overnight and optimally twelve hours. Strain out the elixir, mix it with either hot or cold water, and enjoy.

Many believe that the cold-brew method not only gives you a gentler cup of coffee, it also gives you one with more flavor.

Cherry Vanilla Almond Muffins - Low Carb, Gluten Free, Sugar Free

One of my very close friends absolutely loves dessert. It seems to make her extremely happy. All dessert. Well, almost all dessert anyway. Anything that is too dry, especially cake, is the exception to the rule.

So, when I decided to make cherry muffins the other night, I could see the disappointment flash across her face (even though she tried hard to hide it). Just to be safe, I made her a side of whipped cream to slather on the muffins in case they were too dry for her.

As she ate her first bite of muffin, she had a huge smile on her face and said I should make sure to say (these are her exact words): "you know how with most muffins, only the top is really good and the rest is just kind of dry and boring? Well these muffins are delicious all the way through!"

I used frozen cherries for this recipe. I've found that using the fruit frozen works better in baked goods than thawing it first. For reasons that I can't explain, frozen fruit works perfectly and thawed fruit turns into a watery mess that dyes the dough strange colors. Fresh is, of course, great too, but then you're limited by the seasons. Given the time of year, cherry muffins would be out of the question at this moment. If you're lucky enough to have access to a Costco, that store is a bonanza of relatively inexpensive frozen organic berries and fruits. These muffins feature their incredible frozen organic cherries.

This is a very easy, 1 bowl recipe. These muffins freeze perfectly. Let them cool, put them in a big Ziploc bag or cookie tin and freeze them. To defrost, just take out a few muffins, and heat on 350 until warmed through. They sometimes get a little crisp on top as they're reheated, and that tastes especially good. Like my friend pointed out, you don't have to worry about them getting dry!
