			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Cheese is a healthy and delicious food which is made from the milk of cow, goat, buffalo, or sheep by coagulation. Really, there are countless kinds that are available out there with different textures and styles as well as diverse colors and molds. Additionally, the type of milk used, the length of processing, the length of aging, and the kind of bacteria added will influence the flavors of the cheese.<span id="more-122"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Origins of this Unique Dairy Ingredient</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In fact, the word cheeses comes from the Latin word cases which mean &#8216;to ferment, to become sour&#8217;. This is known as an ancient food and existed prior to recorded history. By the time of the Roman Empire, the art of creating it was truly sophisticated and complicated. In addition, the earliest forms were probably sour and salty such as cottage cheeses and the Greek feta.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Utilizing it in Cooking</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are some types of cheeses which can be used as appetizers like Blue cheese, Roquefort, and Manchego. You could also serve it along with several crackers. A platter with a variety of meat products such as ham and sliced sausage creates an amazing appetizer during some meal and party.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You could also crumble flavorful cheeses onto salads. For instance, an delicious and exotic salad may consists of baby spinach, dried cranberry, walnuts, blue crumbles, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Truly, there are numerous types of saucy dishes and foods that you could create from cheese. Beside all foods that have been discussed above, you could also create delicious and interesting homemade pizza.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In order to make more flavorful pizza, you can attempt to add feta or blue cheeses instead of having usual mozzarella. Because this flaky ingredient is known as really versatile ingredient in cooking, you could do a few experiments on it to create a tasty and unique dish each day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Amid fears of excessive hormones, harmful pesticides, and our declining environment, more and more consumers are opting for organic foods when making decisions about their diet. If you&#8217;re someone who wants to make this change too, it can be overwhelming knowing just where to begin. What should you look for? Where should you shop? Will it be expensive? Follow this guide for the fundamentals of shopping organic:<span id="more-105"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Check labels</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has given organic foods a national standard. They state the term &#8216;organic&#8217; means foods that have been produced without antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, irradiation, and bioengineering. But be warned, there are different types of organic products &#8211; some are 100% organic, some contain 95 -100% organic ingredients and can be labeled &#8216;organic&#8217;, while others with less than this percentage will state they are made with organic ingredients&#8217; (70% and up) or &#8216;contain organic ingredients&#8217; (less than 70%). Make sure you check labels on your food products carefully to know what quality of product you are buying.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pick your organic options</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You might not be able to switch your whole diet to organic &#8211; this option could be too expensive or just not practical &#8211; but you can decide which foods you believe are worth buying in the organic form. Read up on the foods that are considered to be most affected by pesticides, hormones, etc. e.g. apples, strawberries and dairy products and least affected too, e.g. avocados because of their tough skin. Then make your organic choices accordingly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Shop around for best prices</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Organic foods are generally priced higher than regular ones but the range can vary greatly &#8211; from 10% to 200% higher! Make sure you visit a range of stores which supply organic foods to get the best value on different foods. Visit health food stores, your local farmer&#8217;s market, shop online, or browse through the organic sections of large retail chains.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Get your timing right</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since organic foods do not use chemicals to help preserve their freshness, many fresh foods have to be consumed quite quickly after they are bought. Buy unripened fruit or vegetables when appropriate and talk to your store owner, farmer or grocer about when their deliveries are made so you can time your purchases to get the best quality foods.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Get the whole family involved</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If it&#8217;s not just yourself who&#8217;s turning organic but your whole family too, try and get everyone involved in being educated about your new choices. You could do something adventurous like trying to grow your own organic ingredients in your garden or find cooking classes for kids that uses only organic ingredients. Education will be the first step towards enjoying your new healthier lifestyle!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;The coconut nut is a giant nut, if you eat too much you get very fat.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So goes a line on a familiar song that is sung in the Philippines. But nowadays, drinking coconut oil can actually save your life. To be more specific, it is extra virgin coconut oil that has all the health and life-long benefits that one can have. For instance, a centenarian by the name of Bess Baker Jackson recently celebrated her birthday and attributed her long life to this. Mrs. Jackson was a teacher married to a businessman/manager, and had two daughters with him. She lived through the Great Depression, World War 2, historical moon landing and 9/11. She witnessed the invention of the television, car, jet planes, personal computer, and the Internet. She began taking coconut oil a few years after her husband&#8217;s death and about the time when she has just moved in to her new home. She reported using this natural oil for her skin and added it to her tea even.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-82"></span>Previous health experts have long thought that coconut oil is bad for the health mainly due to its fat content and high cholesterol level. But that was before experts realize that they have been studying the hydrogenated variety of coconut oil &#8211; one that is laden with trans fats, the type found in deep fried food that is responsible for increasing &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol levels in the blood stream and blocking our arteries. On the other hand, extra virgin coconut oil is categorized as a &#8220;medium-chain fats&#8221; &#8211; in particular, lauric acid which is present in coconut milk, and has antibacterial and antiviral properties. This is obtained from a long process of harvesting coconuts, to shredding the meat and milking the juice, and then fermenting it overnight until the water evaporates and leaves the oil that is the main healthy ingredient of coconut. Extra virgin coconut lengthens the lifespan by boosting the immune system, maintaining the skins moisture, regulates metabolism and digestion, facilitates the body&#8217;s endocrine response and helps build strong bones and teeth. It contains many vitamins and minerals which wards off disease-producing organisms, and aids the cell-regeneration and renewal process.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1/2 cup of powdered sugar (adjust your sugar to the sweetness of your cherries. Not rocket science.)</p>
<p>6 oz of cream cheese</p>
<p>1/3 cup sour cream</p>
<p>1 1/4 cups of heavy cream<span id="more-38"></span></p>
<p>1/4 cup milk</p>
<p>1/3 cup lime juice (lemon is okay too- I just happened to have limes here.)</p>
<p>The zest of 2 limes. (lemons are okay too&#8230; see above.)</p>
<p>1/4 tsp. vanilla extract</p>
<p>About 6 graham crackers (I like honey grahams. You use what you like.) 3 tbs of melted butter. Put these two things in a processor. If you have graham cracker crumbs already just use about 1/2-3/4 cup of those. I just can&#8217;t seem to find ready made crumbs near me for blood or money.</p>
<p>The point is, mix the crumbs and the melted butter so the crumbs kind of cling together. This is important, because if you don&#8217;t add the butter, the crumbs kinda just become &#8220;dirt.&#8221; The butter holds them together and will create a swirl if you do it right, and all the planets align. Divide the cut cherries in half. Use half in the <strong>ice cream</strong> base. Put 1/2 of the cherries, and all the other ingredients in a blender. Turn the blender on. Create ice cream base. Put base into ice cream machine. Make food, according to manufacturer&#8217;s instructions. Right near the end of the process, add the other half of the cherries.</p>
<p>At the very end, when you only have a couple of turns of the blades left, pour the crumbs in a steady stream into the ice cream maker. Do not overmix the crumbs. You want a ribbon, not the crumbs to mix all over the place. Gently transfer the ice cream to whatever you intend to freeze it solid in. Again, don&#8217;t stir it too much or you&#8217;ll blow the texture.</p>
