Soup and a Party for My Love!

[ 6 ] February 9, 2012

Bartolli Meal Soups can make your Weekday Special!

Bertolli Logo

 

Frozen Meal Soups can Make  the Evening a Little less Stress for Both of US!

My Life is a zoo!  And my Husband’s is worse.  He is working on a major electric vehicle project  for one of the Big 3 car companies.  Even though, he is the sweetest man..he has been burning the candles at both ends, so I decided to make at least one weeknight special!  The only problem is…I only had one hour to prepare and a LOT to do.  How could I get it all done?

Unfortunately, it had snowed quite hard and the driveway was full of snow.  I knew if my husband came home and found that, he’d be out there shoveling and snowblowing  (he’s Polish…he just has to have EVERYTHING just so!)  So in order to make the night extra special..I SHOVELED THE DRIVEWAY..sort of.  Okay..don’t be shocked.  I even have pictures to prove it:

Consider Frozen Meal Soups as a Real Time Saver and for REAL FLAVOR

Well, 40 minutes of that Nonsense  (WHY DO I LIVE HERE???) , left me a mere 20 minutes to get a hearty dinner on the table for my 6’6″ husband, who comes home hungry as a bear.  Quickly, I made some breadsticks and popped them into the oven.  For the main dish,  I used Bertolli Premium Meal Soup in Chicken Minestrone.  The Meal soup was a breeze to prepare.  I just put it into a sauce pan on the stove and added 1 cup of water. After the mixture came to a boil, I reduced the heat and covered it for another 5 minutes stirring occasionally.  In between the soup meal, I set the table, got out some beverages, and put the breadsticks out to cool.

Toward the end of my 20  minute whirlwind, my husband walked in and the first thing he said was, “Wow, what smells so good?”  Then he was all smiles because he didn’t have to shovel the driveway.  So 20 minutes from the time I came in from outdoors, I was already to serve my big gorgeous husband a wonderful Bertolli Chicken Minestrone Soup Meal.   WHICH HE LOVED!    We both agreed that this soup was the best store bought soup of any kind that we had ever eaten.  My husband said that if he didn’t know, he’d swear the Bertolli Soup Meals was homemade by ME!  He felt it was that good..apparently I am quite the little SUZY HOMEMAKER in his mind!!  Take a look at the two beautiful hearty bowls of soup it made!!

Frozen Bertolli Meal Soups can Satisfy all your Family Members

I loved the fact that I can keep this frozen soup on hand and serve a wonderful hearty soup with a homemade taste–Anytime!  I also thought I would pick up some of the Soup Meals for my aging parents or some people from church that I take meals to…wouldn’t that be convenient for them?  Meal Soups  solves the problem about what to serve for dinner when you have no time or energy  to create a homecooked dinner!  I also think my 3 adult sons would love this..they are just a tad lazy when it comes to cooking but don’t mind heating up something.  I found Bertolli Meal Soups very filling, my boys can eat a ton!

3 tips to Make your Weeknight Meal Special

1.  Frozen Meal Soups can Make  the Evening a Little less Stress for Everyone! (Maybe you can shovel the driveway too!)

2.  Frozen Meal Soups are  a Real Time Saver  for REAL FLAVOR!

3. Frozen Bertolli Meal Soups can Satisfy all your Family Members

The Chief Blonde remarks:   Oh, this book is jammed with yummy recipes.  Pictures galore!  So very healthy and tasty!  I made the Garden Vegetable Soup with Pistou!!!  Oh my goodness.  It was beyond yum!  Really!  Take a look at picture below, the video of me making the soup and final–the recipe!  HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COOKBOOK!  





Garden Vegetable Soup with Pistou
Made from basil, garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese, pistou is stirred into soups, stews, and pastas to add aromatic flavor and color. Ordinarily, that savory burst comes from a large amount of olive oil and cheese, but my version uses no oil and just a bit of Parmesan. The trick is to puree the pistou ingredients with some of the hot soup and then stir this mixture back into the soup. This method gives the soup the extra body and robust flavor of classic pistou without the added fat. Serves 8
1 cup dried flageolet, great northern, or cannellini beans
6 cups Chicken or Vegetable Stock (pages 268 and 269) or store-bought low-sodium broth
1 bay leaf
1 medium carrot, diced (1/2 cup)
2 celery ribs, diced (1 cup)
1 medium zucchini, diced (1 cup)
4 ounces green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces (1 cup)
1/2 small leek, thinly sliced (1 cup)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 cup packed coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1/2 cup sliced scallions (white and green parts)
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 large ripe red tomato, seeded and diced (1/2 cup)
Rinse the beans in cold water and pick over them, discarding any stones or debris. Place them in a large bowl and pour in enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Let stand overnight.
– Drain the beans, discarding the water. Transfer the beans to a medium saucepan and add the stock and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat. Simmer gently, partially covered, until the beans are tender, 40 to 50 minutes.
– Stir in the carrot, celery, zucchini, green beans, leek, salt, and pepper and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf.
–Combine the basil, parsley, Parmesan, tomato paste, scallions, and garlic in a blender. Add 2 cups of the hot broth to the blender and process for 20 seconds, until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Pour the blended mixture into the soup and stir to combine. Stir in the diced tomato. Ladle the soup into warm bowls and serve hot.

Super Bowl Snacking for Women over 45! The 100 Year Lifestyle!

[ 0 ] January 25, 2010

THE 100 YEAR lifestyle can help you avoid Super Bowl Snacking FAT!

We’re two weeks away from Superbowl Sunday; a day that’s become better known for feasting than football. Nabisco tells us to “Snack Happy,” but how happy will you be when you step on the scale after the eating frenzy is over?

Health and fitness expert Dr. Eric Plasker, best-selling author of The 100 Year Lifestyle and The 100 Year Lifestyle Workout, wants to help you get through the game without the gain. He has compiled some Superbowl Superfoods that will satisfy a snack attack and keep you looking slim and trim.

Dips that Don’t:

100 Year LifestyleHummus and babaganoush are two great dips that add some edge to your party. Plus, they’re much healthier than heavy cheese dips. For variety, buy an assortment of flavors, like red pepper, garlic and olive. Pair these with pre-cut veggies like carrots, broccoli and celery, rather than chips. You can also buy whole grain, stone ground or 100 percent whole-wheat crackers, which contain fiber and nutritional value. You’ll get all of the flavor and less of the fat.

Wings for Winners

100 Year LifestyleBuy baked chicken wings instead of fried ones. When they’re covered in sauce, you won’t taste the difference. Just be sure to steer clear of blue cheese and ranch dressings, or buy low-fat versions.

Sub Saviors

100 Year LifestyleSub sandwiches can be a good way to get your protein and fill up on not-so-fattening food. Limit the mayo, pack your sandwich with extra lettuce and tomato, and eat it open-faced to save on calories.

Dessert Danger

best-desserts_rsFinger foods can be the most dangerous, as they’re easy to pop into your mouth without thinking. Don’t be a grazer. Load your plate with a small portion of whatever you want to try, and then step away from the dessert table. That way, you’re practicing portion control.

Workout Warriors
Plan ahead. If you think you’ll be taking in an extra 1,000 calories on Superbowl Sunday, make sure to get in a good workout on Friday, Saturday and Sunday before the game. That way, you can compensate for the extra intake and net out without weight gain.

About Dr. Eric Plasker

Health and fitness expert Dr. Plasker is author of The 100 Year Lifestyle, a best-selling book and wellness system that enables people to make the most of their years through a unique, total-life program that addresses health, nutrition, exercise, mental agility, creativity, finances, friends and
family, work, community, and achieving a sense of purpose. Also author of the just-released100 Year Lifestyle Workout, Dr. Plasker is a member of Gold’s Gym Fitness Institute, the world’s largest think tank for health and Fitness issues. Owner of two highly successful family practices for almost 20 years, Dr. Plasker has been featured extensively by the media, including
CNN, FOX, NBC, Self, Woman’s World, Health and in major newspapers around the country.

Mobile IPhone App Lets You Choose Enviro-Friendly Seafood

[ 1 ] December 17, 2009

 Blog Note: In preparation for the 2010 CES in Las Vegas Nevada, we are running a series of articles on the latest consumer electronics including Iphone apps.

S. Zurek

If you’re a seafood lover and an iPhone fan, it’s your lucky day. Monterey Bay Aquarium’s popular Seafood Watch guides, including the sushi guide, are now available on your mobile phone to help you make sustainable seafood choices quickly and easily – whether you’re at your favorite restaurant or sushi joint, or shopping at your local market. The guides identify which fish are good options and which to think twice about because they’re overfished or contain contaminants like mercury.

This app will be especially useful in the New Year as sustainable seafood heats up more restaurant menus in 2010 and more people resolve to eat food that’s healthy and environment-friendly. Sustainable seafood has been listed as one of the top trends for 2010 according to the Nation’s Restaurant News’ Annual Chef Survey, the Food Channel, and hospitality and restaurant consultants who keep the pulse of the industry.  

Seventy percent of the world’s fisheries are either in decline or are already fished at their capacity. Fortunately, there are many types of tasty fish that are plentiful and are readily available. Through your iPhone, iPod Touch or mobile device with internet connection, you can search by fish and a color-coded grid identifies fish by: Best Choice, Good Alternative and Avoid. 

You can download to your Apple iPhone or iPod touch in one of two ways:
1. Visit us on our Seafood Watch pages to get your iPhone app.
2. Browse the App Store on your iPhone or iPod touch and download the free, official Seafood Watch app direct to your device.

Don’t have an iPhone? Seafood Watch recommendations are available for any mobile device with an Internet connection.

Want some Sustainable Seafood Recipes?  As you plan their holiday menus, some of them might be inspired by the Feast of Seven Fishes, an Italian American tradition of serving seven different seafood dishes on Christmas Eve. Click here for some  environmentally-friendly seafood recipes by some of the nation’s leading chefs, including Rick Moonen. 

Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program is the most recognized and trusted resource for sustainable seafood recommendations. Seafood Watch recommendations are science-based, peer reviewed, and use ecosystem-based criteria. Since 1999, we’ve distributed tens of millions of pocket guides, our iPhone application has been downloaded nearly 175,000 times, and we have close to 200 partners across North America to build awareness to ocean-friendly seafood choices, include zoos, aquariums, restaurants, retailers, universities, food co-ops, seafood suppliers, and more.

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE: Books to Read by the Fire

[ 7 ] November 15, 2009
Wonderful New Books for Women over 45
The Story Behind the Song..
Book Title: Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Story Behind the Song by Jo-Ann Geffen

Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Story Behind the Song is Famed Publisher’s 1st All Celebrity Release!
Book Highlights: Veteran Publicist, talent manager, and celebrity booker Jo-Ann Geffen collects reflections from such musical greats as Christina Aguilera, Melissa Etheridge, Paul Anka, Kanye West, and Richie Sambora to find out about the laughter and the tears behind your favorite songs.  Each of the tales is accompanied by a photo and the lyrics for the song that is discussed.
Chief Blogger’s Remarks:  I always wonder about these “Behind the Scene” stories. It’s almost voyeuristic!

Book Price:  Retail $14.95 ($10.17 on Amazon)
Secret Recipes for the Modern Wife
Book Title: Secret Recipes for the Modern Wife:  All the Dishes You’ll Need to Make from the Day You Say “I Do” Until Death (or Divorce) Do you Part By Nava Atlas
Secret Recipes for the Modern Wife– No wife will read this book without recognizing her life in these “recipes”!

Book Highlights:
Whether a new bride or an old hand at wedded less-than-bliss, every wife (or ex-wife) will savor this scrumptiously sardonic portrait of contemporary marriage.  Hilarious, thought-provoking, and cleverly designed, SECRET RECIPES FOR THE MODERN WIFE skewers today’s cultural norms with a collection of “recipes” that illustrate the subtle madness of matrimony.  Divided into four stages of marriage, the book irreverently pokes fun at the often ridiculous expectations that accompany “I do.”
Example Recipe from the Book:.

Happily-Ever-After Ambrosia
Serves to inspire hope in an age of cynicism

The stuff that makes living most delectable (choose as many as you’d like), including:
Shavings of fresh coconut
Harmony
Pineapple rings and candied fruit
Affection and mutual respect
Glistening cubes of ruby red gelatin
Security and support
Mint ice cream
Children that turn out well
Rich frosting and whipped cream toppings
Lasting love and happiness
Chocolate syrup (lots of it)

Before starting this recipe, recognize that even in an age when impossible standards of perfection coexist with a decline in marital rates (and successes), there must be some reason why most people aspire to be part of a couple.
While arranging delicious ingredients with lofty aspirations, pause to reflect on “for better or worse,” and decide that you prefer better. And observe that even those who have endured the most painful of breakups often try again, and sometimes yet again.
Realize that real life doesn’t always resemble a dessert buffet, filled with sensuous pleasures and emotional fulfillment. Still, it’s human nature to feel hopeful, and even though you know that “happily ever after” exists primarily in fairy tales, it may be possible to grab morsels of love and happiness from time to time.

Book Price: $12.00 ($9.60 on Amazon.com)
