Jill's Cauliflower Soup Recipe: EASY CAULIFLOWER SOUP INGREDIENTS 1 head cauliflower, about 2 lbs. Salt Pepper Unsalted butter (optional, recommended) - you can sub olive oil or a high quality vegan butter like Earth Balance, if you like OPTIONAL TOPPING IDEAS: Drizzle of olive oil or sesame oil, crumbled blue cheese, parmesan, za'atar YOU WILL ALSO NEED: Medium saucepan, blender Total Time: 10 Minutes Servings: 4 servings Kosher Key: Pareve or Dairy Remove the leaves and tough core from the cauliflower. Chop into small florets and carefully clean them. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 quart (4 cups) of water to a boil. Stir in 2 tsp of salt till dissolved. Pour in the cauliflower florets. Bring the water back to a boil and cover. Let the cauliflower cook for about 5 minutes till very soft and tender. Remove the florets from their cooking water using a slotted spoon; reserve the salted cooking water. Place the cooked cauliflower into a blender, filling it halfway. Carefully pour in cooking water, adding till it reaches about halfway up the cooked cauliflower. Cover the blender carefully and blend, scraping the sides as needed, until the soup becomes a smooth puree. You may need to add more cooking water to achieve a soup-like texture. The longer you blend, the more silky and smooth the soup becomes. Add salt, pepper, and butter to taste. I use about 1 tbsp butter (or I've used up to 2 Tbsp) for a whole head of cauliflower (1/2 tbsp per batch). Salt is your friend here, if the soup is tasting bland don't be afraid to add more. You can also add some good quality olive oil or Earth Balance instead of butter if you'd like a richer flavor without dairy. Also add ground fennel. Repeat process with the remaining batch of cauliflower. Serve soup hot. Leftovers will keep for 1-2 days in a covered tupperware container; soup will need to be stirred after reheating.

Food Secrets Can Be HarmfulAre you ingesting harmful substances that you really don't know about? Please check out this episode and learn about dirty little secrets that can harm your overall health! 0:02 Good evening and welcome to my humble podcast abode. I am Cocoa Griot just a 50 something who enjoys talking about life, love, and a host of other topics. Tonight, we are going to talk dirty. Specifically, dirty little secrets. I'm going to share some dirty little secrets with you that I believe can impact your life. So sit back, relax, and let's chat about those secrets. Oh, honey. Yes, I want to talk about honey for a moment. Ever wonder if you're getting the real thing, or just an imitation? Here's a little test to find out. Put some honey in a bowl with cold water, swirl it around a few times, and guess what should appear? If it is real, a honeycomb will show up. That's the natural genetic memory of honey. What happens if it just ripples in water. Well you have uncovered a dirty little secret. That is actually just honey, diluted with sugar syrup. 1:10 Let's talk dirty some more I'm enjoying this. We are really going there. This time you go to the grocery store in hopes of finding healthy fruits and vegetables, because you care about what you consume. Do you know that the price lookup numbers can tell you whether your product is conventionally grown with pesticides, or if it's organic? Who knew those four or five numbers held so much secret information? So let's say you have a taste for bananas. How do you know the difference between regular bananas and organic bananas? Okay, I know some of you are smarting off right now and saying the price, because those bananas that are organic would be $9,000, but there's really another way to look at this. The conventional bananas have, like, 4011, but if they're organic, there will be a nine placed in front of the 4011. Wow, exposing these secrets is really making me think about my food choices over the years. I thought the plu number was just telling me the price. Those numbers represent foods that can optimize or harm your health. So if a product starts with three or four. Please don't buy those anymore. If a product starts with a nine. Those are organic and just fine. You can look for the butterfly that signifies non GMO on products as well. 2:38 The next dirty little secret, involves a product I used to for years without question. This one really hit me hard because I thought I was doing something great for my health. Several campaigns warned us about artery clogging butter. Since my dad died of a stroke, and my mom died of a heart attack, I really have been on a mission to make sure I'm using heart healthy products. So why use this stealth killer, when you can have a convenient option in pam? Pam cooking spray is convenient. Not missing like butter. What drawbacks could there possibly be to this healthy kitchen staple? Well, imagine 3:27 PLEASE FAST FORWARD. the shock after the horror of the PAM can exploding and causing third degree burns, disfigurement, and even blindness? I don't know about you, but those documented incidents involving Pam, make me want to reach for a big old tub of butter. Okay. Many people don't realize the propellant that makes the oil sprayable is butane and propane. So even though these propellants are food grade, they are still dangerous when used near heat. Well, I used to buy Pam for cooking and so there was definitely heat involved. My guess is many people have done the same thing. This dirty little secret causes serious injury, and so I threw my can of Pam in the trash after I learned about the potential hazards of the spray. Now I get some better butter like Earth Balance. 5:03 So the next dirty little secret involves something that is so ridiculous. It has the potential to be funny, but it's actually not. This is the generally recognized as safe or gras designation of some foods. So it might be interesting to note there are about...

In this episode, we’re joined by Francesco Amodeo, the co-founder and president of Don Ciccio & Figli, an acclaimed distiller of handcrafted Italian herbal liqueurs and ready-to-drink cocktails based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 2012, Don Ciccio & Figli produces beverages in the tradition of Amodeo’s family whose roots in the spirits business began in the 1800’s along Italy’s Amalfi coast. Amodeo’s embrace of his heritage has given way to the development of a highly awarded portfolio of amari, apertivi and cordials and comes amid Americans’ growing interest and demand for Italian liqueurs and bitter drinks. As part of our conversation, Amodeo spoke about following in the footsteps of his family, incorporating a modern touch into old-world production methods, the company’s thoughtful innovation strategy and how it validates new products. He also spoke about the impact of trends on business planning and strategy and how the company has responded to the Covid-19 pandemic via an expansion of its portfolio.

Steve Hughes’ influence on the development of the natural food industry is impressive. As the founder and former CEO of Boulder Brands, he helped develop and nurture a range of next-generation natural food companies, including evol and Smart Balance as well as pioneering gluten-free brands Udi's and Glutino. Following the sale of Boulder Brands to Pinnacle Foods in 2015, Steve co-founded Sunrise Strategic Partners, an investment firm that has acquired stakes in several innovative and fast-growing brands such as Kodiak Cakes, Cali’flour, Coolhaus and Maple Hill Creamery. In an interview included in this episode, Hughes reflected upon his career and his role in shaping the current market for natural food. He also discussed Sunrise’s investment philosophy, why the funding environment for natural CPG companies is “capitalism at its absolute best,” and what he sees as the most exciting development for consumer brands. Show notes:  2:26: Interview: Steve Hughes, Founder, Boulder Brands/Sunrise Strategic Partners -- Hughes met with NOSH editor Carol Ortenberg in Denver, Colorado and spoke about how roles as an executive with ConAgra, Celestial Seasonings and WhiteWave Foods laid the foundation for Boulder Brands, which he founded in 2005. Later, he explained why brands that grow from $10 million to $100 million in sales will encounter “a lot of speed bumps and rakes to step on,” and discussed his admiration for the founders of Sunrise portfolio brands Cali’Flour and Kodiak Cakes. Hughes also discussed why e-commerce has been a game-changer in how brands market and sell to target consumers. Brands in this episode: McCormick Spices, ConAgra, Celestial Seasonings, Silk, Frontier Natural Products, Simply Organic, Boulder Brands, Bobo’s, Vital Farms, Kodiak Cakes, Little Secrets, Healthy Choice, Udi’s, Glutino, Cali’flour, Coolhaus, Maple Hill Creamery, Whitewave Foods, evol, Earth Balance

Raising cattle for beef is the number one cause of the destruction of rainforests and global warming, but today we're going to talk about palm oil. Grown in tropical regions, palm plantations are displacing rainforests, destroying orangutan habitats and wreaking havoc on the ecosystem. With good intentions, some vegans have called for a boycott of Earth Balance, a vegan butter that uses palm oil as its primary fat, even though it doesn't source its palm from native orangutan habitats. Is it possible to source palm oil sustainably? For that matter, is it possible to source any historically unsustainable crop in a sustainable way? In today's episode, I weigh in on this issue and offer some food for thought. Not a supporter? Change that today: Patreon.com/ColleenPatrickGoudreau.

He even scored 107 once. He is nowhere near a professional athlete but he trains a lot. Does he have some weird medical condition or is he just good at taking the test? In my response, I recommend: - Vegan Bone Broth and Vegan Bulletproof Coffee Ellie says: Is there a vegan version of bone broth? Not just veggie stock but something with the benefits of bone broth. Also is there a vegan version of Bulletproof Coffee? Can she add some Earth Balance and get the same benefits that you get? Probably not... but she thought she'd ask.

She doesn't want to take over the counter meds but what else can she take? She also gets incredible fatigue where she actually has to go and lay down on the floor by her standing desk (thanks to you for the standing desk idea) because fatigue has just hit her. Is that normal? What could be wrong that she gets so fatigued during her period?  Do you have any suggestions of what to do about fatigue and tiredness due to menstruation?

Or is the risk of harm too much? In my response, I recommend: - How To Choose The Sex Of Your Baby Paul says: He and his wife have just had a baby girl and while she is an angel and he loves her very much there is a lot of estrogen in the house now. If he and his wife were going to have another baby, have you seen any research or do you know of any way to tip the balance toward having a baby boy next time?

Public awareness is growing about the relationship between the production of palm oil and the loss of rainforests. And that's a good thing (though much work needs to be done between the relationship between the production of animal-based MEAT and the destruction of rainforests).

With good intentions, some activists have called for a boycott of Earth Balance, a vegan butter that uses palm oil as its primary fat, even though it doesn't source its palm from native orangutan habitats.
