Healthy Cookware 101: Does Your Cookware Preserve Nutrients?

Healthy Cookware 101: Does Your Cookware Preserve Nutrients?

Juanita is a busy mom of 2 kids, is concerned about their dietary needs because she knows how they eat now determines how healthy they will be when they grow up. She juggles between work and carefully plans her meals - choosing healthy organic ingredients avoiding any kind of processed food. She spends a lot of time searching for recipes so she gets all the details right. She does all she can to feed her family delicious and nutrition rich food. Is she missing something?

It is great that so many people are choosing their cooking ingredients wisely and making sure to minimize or completely avoid processed or pre-prepared foods. But cooking this good food in the wrong cookware can destroy the nutrients in your carefully selected ingredients on one hand. And on the other, the cookware's raw material - metals and chemicals - are reacting to the food and leaching in!
Does Your Cookware Preserve Nutrients?

How raw material affects the health of your food?

When the raw material used to make pots and pans is toxic these elements leach at the cooking temperature and contaminate food. Also, the nutrients present in food are destroyed in two ways: 

The harsh near-infrared heat damages delicate nutrients and leaves food nutrition deficient, and
The water-soluble nutrients are lost as steam before you can open the lid.
What kind of cookware can preserve nutrients?

It all depends on the material used. Pure-clay is a raw material used to make cookware for thousands of years. It is a 100% natural material that can cook by preserving the food's nutrients.

Pure clay is tested and certified 100% non-toxic. It is naturally inert, so doesn't react with nutrients like reactive metals. As a result, the nutrients remain intact.

The heat that radiates from the walls of a pure clay pot is far infrared. This food-friendly heat cooks food gently and keeps nutrients intact. There is no other known material that can do this.

The steam management of pure clay pots is amazing. The lid always stays cooler than the pot, so when steam leaves the food, it condenses on the inner side of the lid. As soon as the food is done cooking, it settles back into the food and the water-soluble nutrients stay locked within. And as you may know, the body can't store water-soluble nutrients and needs them on a daily basis, cooking in pure clay makes sure your body is never deficient in them.

An added benefit: The semi-porous surface of unglazed pure clay pots is also a blessing. The food cooks with sufficient oxygen that enters through the pores and doesn't let the food stick to it - making pure clay pots naturally non-stick.

Pure clay cookware is not only 100% non-toxic, it also preserves nutrients. You may choose any material from the market - metals, ceramics or any other glazed clay, it will leach toxins and destroy nutrients. All your efforts for feeding your family healthy go in vain by making one wrong choice! Don't stick to toxic materials, choose pure clay - choose a pure clay cookware set to cook truly healthy and nutritious meal for your family every time!


Two Chia Seed Protein Pudding Recipes

Two Chia Seed Protein Pudding Recipes

I was introduced to chia seed pudding a few years ago and instantly fell in love. A healthy alternative to regular pudding? Yes, please! I love "healthifying" my favorite foods that aren't so healthy for you so this was right up my alley. I tried a few chia seed pudding recipes and started to develop my own. Most of the recipes I found didn't have protein added to them so I decided to boost mine with protein. Chia seed protein pudding packs a healthy punch. It's loaded with healthy nutrients which makes it a great option for either breakfast or a healthy dessert.

Chia Seeds are a good source of plant based omega-3s, fiber calcium and iron. They also have small amounts of phosphorous, manganese, potassium and copper. I love their "crunchy" texture. They almost remind me of tapioca but they're much healthier for you.

Chia seeds can be eaten raw or cooked. I recommend eating them after they've either been soaked (like in a pudding recipe) or cooked because these seeds expand once they've been hydrated. Eating them dry can lead to them expanding in your throat which may give you a slightly weird feeling. One of the big benefits is the fiber content which will help give you a feeling of fullness leading to better satiety.

Chia Protein Pudding Recipe 1: Vanilla, Almond + Coconut

Serves 4:
  • 8 T Chia Seeds 
  • 2 C Almond Milk (or milk of choice) 
  • 2 T Madagascar Vanilla Extract (I love this vanilla extract because of it's deep flavor.) 
  • 4 T Shredded Coconut (plus a little extra to sprinkle on top) 
  • 2 T Maple Syrup (or honey) 
  • 4 Scoops Protein Powder (I used grass-fed whey vanilla but you can use your favorite animal or plant based protein powder - about 20g per scoop) 
  • 4 T Almonds 

*If you like a creamier taste, use vanilla flavored almond milk or toasted coconut almond milk by Califia farms to get a richer taste. 
How To:
  1. Mix seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, coconut and maple syrup until fully combined. 
  2. Add in protein powder and mix in with a whisk to break it up. Keep mixing until you don't have any clumps of protein powder in mixture. 
  3. Pour evenly into 4 cups and place in refrigerator for about 15 minutes. 
  4. Take out of refrigerator and give each chia seed protein pudding a stir to make sure the chia seeds are fully incorporated (sometimes they'll sink to the bottom). 
  5. Return to refrigerator and let sit for a few hours or overnight until mixture has become pudding or gel like. 
  6. When ready to eat, sprinkle almonds and extra coconut on top and enjoy.

Chia Protein Pudding Recipe 2: Double Chocolate Cacao

Serves 4:
  • 4 Scoops Chocolate Protein (animal or plant based) 
  • 4 T Cacao Nibs (plus extra to garnish) 
  • 4 T Chocolate Covered Hemp Seeds (you could use semi-sweet chips but you won't get the benefit of the hemp) 
  • 2 T Maple Syrup or Honey 
  • 8 T Chia Seeds 
  • 2 C Almond Milk 

*If you like chocolate + peanut butter, add 1 T of peanut butter (or almond butter) to the mixture for that chocolate + nut flavor.

How To: 
Use the same how to instructions as above for the Vanilla, Almond, Coconut pudding.

Once the pudding is finished, sprinkle cacao nibs on top and enjoy!

I make these recipes often for breakfast because they're an easy make ahead meal prep option. Then you can eat quickly or grab and go before heading out the door. I also enjoy them as a snack or healthy dessert if I'm craving something a little sweet. Enjoy them however you like and feel free to get creative with the recipes as you see fit.

6 Secrets to the Most Fun Places to Eat in NYC

6 Secrets to the Most Fun Places to Eat in NYC

Taking a bite out of the Big Apple is an entertaining and satisfying experience. There are so many places to go in the city that it can make your taste buds go into overdrive. But if you're like me, New York City is always calling my name and persuading me to visit again and again. This famous place known for making dreams come true is also quite famous for its culinary experiences. And that is what I love about eating in New York. Whether it's catching a hot dog in Manhattan on your way to a show, finding a little hidden away Tai restaurant in Chinatown or even hitting a chic supper club like Jekyll and Hyde right in the city, it's no secret that the sky is the limit for fabulous food.
6 Secrets to the Most Fun Places to Eat in NYC
6 Secrets to the Most Fun Places to Eat in NYC

1. Gorilla Cheese NYC: 
I love a good trend and I also love a good grilled cheese sandwich There is a place in our hometown whose menu centers around this all-time favorite so I wanted to check out NYC's version that goes on the road. Gorilla Cheese NYC is one of the most famous food trucks in the city and for good reason. The sensory overload menu is full of aromatic cheeses, fresh bread varieties and toppings so you choose just what you want on your sammie. I ordered the feature of the day, the Brooklyn Special, a perfect combination of asiago, prosciutto de parma on a carefully crafted inside out panini. It was the best-grilled cheese I think I ever had. And then I topped it off with their Mac and Cheese bites. They were two thumbs up. It's a good thing this meal was a "roader" and I had a few blocks to get to my next location so I could walk off every over the top, satisfying calorie.

2. Jekyl & Hyde Club: 
OK, Jekyl & Hyde Club is not a location for those who are faint of heart. Located at 91 7th Avenue, their slogan is anything can happen at their dining club and it's true. Prepare to be scared to death or entertained, whatever you want to call it! I was on pins and needles and not sure my mind was just on the menu. It's dark, low lit atmosphere reminds me of Halloween and the old 60's television series, Dark Shadows. Creepy actors/ wait staff interacted with us while we ate creating a one of a kind, "what's going to happen next vibe. But I was very happy with the delicious, yet spooky menu. The Create Your Own Monster burgers, Frankenstein's Favorite and The Mummy left my mind wondering about the ingredients and who was cooking in the kitchen. The burger is bandaged with cheese for heaven's sake! We ordered the pizza with the Cannnibals' sausage, pepperoni and meatballs. Then washed it down with a familiar bottle of beer. They have a huge, monstrous sized drink menu that won't scare your pants off! I recommend making reservations especially if you are taking a group that includes your "mummy."

3. The Garret East Dinnertable: 
Wow, nothing like searching for your food. This little, but infamous joint is hidden so only those in the know, know about this little gem. Fortunately, we did. Our colleague knew someone who knew someone who snagged reservations for us. It only seats about 20 guests and reservations are a must have. It reminded me of Carrie and the gal pals from Sex and the City who loved to hit the newest, hot spots. Dinnertable's Mexican fare was delicious and was ready in a New York Minute, which is great news when you are starving from a long day in the city. The seafood was extraordinary and just the fact that we were behind an unmarked, closed door, it made the experience ultra cool.

4. Freeman's: 
This little delicious out of the way beauty is down the alleyway off the Bowery and has been offering spectacular food since 2004. Hmm, just the thought of eating in an alley might not be up your alley but think again. Freeman's Restaurant is rustic and inspired by Old World American traditions so there's a little bit of American history incorporated into each dish. I was enticed by the Whole Grilled Edenbrook Trout, Beluga Lentils and even their popular half a roasted chicken. My favorite was the Pan Roasted Tile Fish crispy potatoes, black lentils, saffron aïoli, spring onion vinaigrette that I shared with my sister. Once you finally snag a table you don't want to leave. The sensory experience is like no other and the service is tip, top notch. Freeman's accepts reservations... get this... one month in advance and for groups over 13, you have to reserve your table one year in advance. That is planning! They say a part of the dining room is or walk-ins, but if you decide to visit on a whim, you might find yourself waiting and waiting and waiting at the bar and then eventually eating there too.

5. Bohemian: 
Exclusive, trendy and private is how I would describe the Bohemian, a Japanese Restaurant and Bar. This hidden gem is coincidentally located behind a Noho, Manhattan butcher shop. The catch of the day is that you have to know someone to get in. I can't even believe we were able to score a table because it is so exclusive and mysterious. I immediately fell for with the low couches, artistic atmosphere and the Asian ambiance. The historical building used to be the home of infamous artist, Andy Warhol and then to the popular 1980's graffiti artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat. As one who appreciates the arts, the creativity and history of this building was overwhelming and a bit humbling. Now for the food. Get your chopsticks and your appetite ready because everything on the menu is extraordinary just like the surroundings. I ordered a bucket of oysters and enough saki for a sailor. Andy Warhol would have approved.

6. Tehuitzingo: 
Que Pasa! OK, I can never say it but I can certainly recommend it! This unique palate pleaser is hidden in the back of a bodega (a small grocery store in a Spanish speaking neighborhood), open until midnight and get this, you only have to dish out $3.00 for one of the most memorable tacos of your life! This secret is located inside the Tehuitzingo Deli and Grocery in Hell's Kitchen making the experience even more memorable. Trust me, you won't walk about hungry, far from it. The portions are family sized and deliciously authentic. Note, there are no tables. That's right. You get a stool to belly up to the and counter or to lean on. All you need is your appetite and sense of Mexican adventure. You can also grab a jar of salsa or other grocery items for a take-home snack attack later.
