Add Taste, not Calories: Healthy Steps Shares How Herbs Enhance Cool Summer Suppers

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 11, 2011 - Herbs are one of nature’s little surprise packages that contain a lot of flavor without adding calories, says Healthy Steps by Jokari. With a large variety to choose from, you are sure to find several that will become favorites and indispensible to menu-planning. And it’s easy to have fresh herbs year-round: Herbs will thrive in an outdoor garden during warm weather and make good indoor houseplants during winter.

Fresh herbs are the healthy way to add flavor. Use the Healthy Steps Multi-Use Herb Pro when working with herbs – it’s a mincer, stripper and pair of herb scissors in one tool. Remember that a little goes a long way with herbs to take that ordinary meal to an extraordinary experience. Healthy Steps offers these tips to get the most from herbs and enhance cool summer suppers now.

•   Grow your taste blasters

Culinary herbs are a mainstay of most herb gardens. The garden-fresh flavors of thyme, basil, savory, oregano and marjoram are incomparable. You can also grow gourmet varieties of these classics – lemon thyme, cinnamon basil and Sicilian oregano, for example – to add to your cooking pleasure.

Herbs can be grown in very little space – along the side of the house or garage, in a container on your balcony or deck, or windowsill planters.

•   Soak, rinse, repeat

Place the herbs in a deep bowl of cold water or a clean, water-filled sink. Use a lot of water when washing herbs – too little doesn't allow the dirt to settle or the herbs to float clear. Once the herbs are submerged, stir before leaving them to soak for a moment. Once the dirt has sunk to the bottom of the bowl, remove the herbs by skimming them up and out of the water. (Pouring the bowl's contents through a strainer will result in pouring the dirt back onto the herbs.) Rinse the bowl or sink free of dirt and repeat this process until the herbs are cleaned to your satisfaction. Once the herbs have been cleaned, spread them out on a dry towel. Carefully blot the herbs with the towel before gently rolling it up around them. Let the bundle dry before using.

•   Flavor flash

Health conscious cooks have found that herbs contain no calories or fat – a fact of great importance to those on weight loss diets. Doctors even recommend the use of herbs and spices in salt-restricted diets to enhance flavor without adding sodium content. For conversion purposes, 1 tablespoon fresh herbs = 1 teaspoon dry herbs = 1/4 teaspoon ground herbs. If you need to add salt, the Healthy Steps Salt Shaker is a measuring dispenser and tabletop shaker, all in one. It is ideal for anyone wanting to limit the amount of salt in their diet – measure and dispense a precise amount each time.
To test herb combinations, chop the herbs finely and mix together with a bit of soft butter. Spread over a cracker to sample. Add tender herbs (basil, cilantro, chives, dill, fennel, parsley, etc.) at the end of cooking. Add tougher herbs (bay, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, etc.) at start of cooking.

•   Better Butter

Make herbal butters and cream cheeses by mixing 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh herbs to 1/2 cup margarine, butter, cottage cheese, low fat yogurt or cream cheese. Let it set for at least an hour to blend the flavor; then taste test on a plain cracker or Melba round. You will gain a great feel for the dimensions of what the flavor will be good with by taste testing in this manner. The Healthy Steps Butter Pro measures one serving of butter at a time, so you can be confident of portion size, plus its top-rack dishwasher safe for easy clean up.

•   Don’t forget the vinegar

Flavor vinegar to use in cooking and vinaigrettes.  Bruise one cup of leaves for every 2 cups of white wine or delicate vinegar. Allow to steep for two weeks. Herbed vinaigrettes are a flavorful touch to salads and other vegetables. The most commonly used vinegars are red or white wine vinegars and cider vinegars. Rice wine vinegar, sherry vinegar and other specialty vinegars may also be used. Distilled white vinegar is easy to obtain and will make a nice herb vinegar, but it will have a sharper flavor than the wine vinegars. Select a white vinegar if the herb will color the vinegar. Use a red vinegar if the herb has a strong flavor. Try these combinations; basil, oregano and thyme in a red wine vinegar. A rich, full flavor that is excellent in salad dressings and marinades.  Rosemary in white vinegar.

Healthy Steps kitchen tools are developed on the principle of portion control. Each stylish utensil provides the perfect measure of ingredients for cooking.

Flight-Line Mazda Stocks One of MSN Autos’ Top Picks for Summer Adventures

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 29, 2011 – For those looking for a great summer adventure, MSN Autos recommends touring the 20-mile Park Loop of Acadia National Park, which includes incredible ocean views with mountains and forests in the background, in the ever-popular, fun-to-drive 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata. MSN Autos describes the 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata as “the ideal 2-seat drop-top for this journey.”

Currently available at Flight-Line Mazda, a Yuma Mazda dealership, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is one of the last affordable roadsters on the market. Starting at $23,110, the 2011 Mazda Miata sports more leg room than previous models, plus it gets a boost in fuel economy, now achieving up to 28 mpg highway. Thanks to its lightweight body, the Mazda Miata provides plenty of get-up-and-go, while also offering precise steering and handling.

The interior of the Mazda Miata is noticeably devoid of technological gadgets and driving aids because the Miata’s convertible top provides all of the entertainment roadster enthusiasts need to enjoy their trip. Drivers have their choice of a simple manually retractable ragtop, which can easily be adjusted by pressing a single button, moving a lever, and pushing the top back, or a power-retractable hardtop, which takes a little longer to put down but makes up for this time with added noise isolation and security.

For more information about the 2011 Mazda Miata or to schedule a test drive at Flight-Line’s Arizona Mazda showroom, visit http://www.flightlinemazda.com/index.htm.

Majority Of Summer Diets Don’t Last More Than A Week

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 19, 2011 – With the summer holidays upon us, the UK’s leading independent celebrity fashion website has conducted a study in order to explore how women around the UK are getting their bikini bodies ready; and whether or not any turn to diets in order to do so.

www.MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk polled 1,814 women aged 18 and over from around the UK, asking them questions surrounding how they usually prepare for the beach when summer comes around.  

Respondents taking part in the study were initially asked, “Do you ever diet in order to prepare your bikini body for the summer?” to which two thirds, 68%, of respondents answered ‘yes.’

These respondents were then asked how long their diets usually lasted. The majority, 54%, admitted to usually giving up on their diet after just one week, whilst just a fifth, 19%, admitted that they usually ‘fulfilled their diet target’.

The respondents who admitted to giving up on their diets after just one week were then asked to state the main reasons why they tended to give up. According to the results, the top 5 reasons were as follows:

1)   Don’t have the willpower – 31%
2)   Don’t see difference in weight/body -  23%
3)   Diet food boring – 21%
4)   Don’t feel supported by others – 14%
5)   Social life conflicts – 10%

Of the respondents who said that they give up on diets because they don’t feel supported, 35% explained that their relatives/ work colleagues don’t help by eating “normal food” around them, whilst 33% admitted that they found it easier to diet with someone else to keep up their motivation.

The study also revealed that women who aim to lose weight before the summer want to lose an average of  ‘7.2 pounds’ before they reveal their bikini body on the beach.

Furthermore, those who admitted to summer dieting were asked why they wanted to do so. Just over a third, 36%, of the respondents said that they didn’t feel comfortable going on holidays with their ‘winter weight’, whilst under a quarter, 26%, admitted that they wanted a ‘lookalike body’, similar to some female celebrities.

A further 19% admitted to feeling pressure to do so by their relatives/ work colleagues who were actually doing one, whilst 16% said that they wanted to counteract the weight that they believed they’d gain on holiday.

Andy Barr, Marketing Director of MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk, commented on the findings:

“Most people, men and women alike, feel that they’d like to lose a few pounds before they hit the beach, but it was surprising to see that the majority give up on diets after just one week. Dieting can be tricky, particularly if life commitments get in the way, but I suppose it takes a lot of willpower and support from others to succeed. Instead of dieting, as many women don’t need to; we would recommend finding some great swimwear that compliments your shape, as this can be a great confidence booster on the beach. Dressing right can do wonders for your self-esteem, and there are plenty of styles out there to suit every figure!”
