Quick Tips


your

StrawberriesSELECTION:

• Fresh strawberries should be bright red in color and firm to the touch.• Avoid squishy, soft, shriveled, or watery strawberries and check packaging for mold or leakage.• The peak season for fresh strawberries lasts from April until June. Strawberries can be found fresh in your produce section

most of the year or frozen, dried, or canned in the grocery aisles.

FUN FACTS:

• You’ll be challenged to name another fruit with seeds on the outside because strawberries, along with cashews are the only ones. If you could count them all, you’ll find more than 200!

• Strawberries are symbolic of righteousness and perfection and were sculpted by stone masons in medieval gothic churches and cathedrals.

• There were no lemon cakes for the Game of Thrones characters, but Jeyne and Sansa did find “half a strawberry pie and ate it on the tower steps giggling and gossiping and sharing secrets,”-from George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones.

STORAGE:

NUTRITION/HEALTH/WELLNESS:

• Strawberries are high in fiber, low in carbohydrates, and contain only 32 calories in just less than a cup. • The nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins found in strawberries contribute to healthy immune systems, skin, cell function,

tissue growth, and the regulation of blood circulation.• The natural sweetness and high fiber content makes for a waist-friendly, midday snack. Try a cup with a small slice of natural

cheese and 10-12 almonds.

• Strawberries will stay fresh longer by keeping them cool. Rinse with water and vinegar, remove excess moisture, and refrigerate in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture.

• Remove the green petals, cull for bruising or decay, and cut away any soft, mushy areas before refrigeration.

• When tightly covered and refrigerated, firm, plump strawberries can last up to one week.

• Strawberries can be easily stored frozen by spreading them on a baking sheet and freezing. Once frozen, place them in an airtight container and place in the freezer for up to six months.

• 1 lb. ground turkey• ½ cup bread crumbs or finely

crushed saltine crackers• 1 egg

• ¼ cup ketchup• ¼ tsp black pepper• ½ tsp. garlic powder• 2-14 oz. can reduced sodium cream

of mushroom soup• 1 tbsp. butter• ¾ cup of nonfat milk• 1¼ cup instant mashed potatoes

1. Gently mix the ground turkey, bread crumbs, spices, ketchup and egg, in a large mixing bowl with clean hands.

2. Form the mixture into 16 meatballs. Add and then place in a microwave safe dish.

3. Cover the meatballs with the mushroom soup and gently toss the meatballs so all are coated. Cover the dish and microwave on high for 7 minutes. Carefully remove from the microwave and set aside. Leave it covered.

4. Combine the milk, 1 cup of water, and butter in a medium sized microwave safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Remove from the microwave and carefully remove the cover. Add the potato flacks and stir gently. Fluff with a fork. Cover and let sit for an addition minute

5. On each plate, dish out ¼ of the potatoes and top with 4 meatballs and a drizzle of the soup. Serve steamed broccoli or a small garden salad on the side.

Microwave ovens became popular in the 1970s. Since then, they’ve become a staple in homes across America. In the

decades that followed, we’ve been increasingly reliant on them to heat up our leftovers and meals in a fraction of the time it would take in the oven or on the stove. Microwaves are common in the barracks and college dorms.

Often, we look to the microwave to reheat our leftovers or make a quick prepared snack. It’s convenient. When we think about cooking more meals at home, we think it requires using the oven or the stove, but the microwave can also be used to prepare high nutrition, quality meals. Heating your food in the microwave also reduces the amount of oil or butter added to prevent burning.

Microwaves work by exciting the molecules in your food which then generate heat. This process works effectively the same in all foods, including ground meat. Many people avoid cooking raw meat in the microwave. There is something to this, but it shouldn’t stop you. Most microwaves can only penetrate about 1 cm into most foods, this is why you often get uneven heating. By adding a little water and a cover, you can use the steam to help it cook evenly. As long as you cook your meat to its specific food safe temperature, it’s a perfectly acceptable form of cooking, not just reheating.

You can use the microwave as part of your healthy eating pattern and not just for reheating or snacking. Aim to include it in your food preparation at least two more times each week. It’s a good way to defrost and cook frozen food, and due to the shortened cooking time, it can also reduce the amount of nutrients leached. Summer is a great time to try increasing your microwave usage as it doesn’t heat up your kitchen.

This dietitian approved meal can be made entirely in the microwave in a surprisingly short amount of time. Remember, instant potatoes are just dehydrated potato flakes. They still provide key nutrients as good sources of vitamins C and B while also supplying protein and fiber. Adding a side of frozen vegetables completes the meal in under 15 minutes.
