Recipe for Seven-Layer Salad

When the family gets together for Thanksgiving and Christmas, one of the things my wife makes is a seven-layer salad. It is always a hit and quickly consumed!

Following is how she makes it:

2 pkgs lettuce of your choice
½ cup bell pepper, finely chopped
½ cup celery, finely chopped
¼ cup green onion, finely chopped
16 oz. frozen green peas, thawed
1 cup mayonnaise
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup real bacon bits

First, layer bottom of dish with lettuce. Then layer the following: bell pepper, celery, green onion, and peas. Next combine mayonnaise and sugar and spread over the top of salad, sealing the edges. For the final layers, sprinkle cheese and bacon over the top. Serves 8-10.

Enjoy!

Until next time,

Eat Well. Live Well.

AICR: Obesity Responsible for Cancer Cases in U.S.

The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) announced new estimates, based on the work of their researchers, that excess body fat is responsible for 100,500 cancer cases in the United States each year.

Scientists suggest that this link between obesity and cancer is due to excess fat increasing levels of sex steroids and other hormones that promote cancer growth. Also the reduced immune function and elevated oxidative stress associated with excess body fat may contribute to the initiation of cancer by damaging DNA.

AICR presented additional data showing that overweight and obesity also decrease rates of survival in those already diagnosed with cancer.

Note: Research shows you can reduce your risk of heart disease by 80% and cancer by 60% or more, by making healthy dietary and lifestyle choices.

Until next time,

Eat Well. Live Well.

Kellogg's and The Swine Flu - Is This For Real?

In case you haven't noticed, Kellogg's is attempting to cash in on the swine-flu hysteria - by informing parents that cereals like Cocoa Krispies can help boost their kids’ immune systems.

This would be laughable, if it were not true.

Until next time,

Eat Well. Live Well.
