With many end-of-the-year holidays upon us all, we thought we’d show how a special and naturally healthy holiday meal can be made the HumanaNatura way and following HumanaNatura’s OurPlate guidelines. Other than the extra step of marinating a protein food before oven roasting , this meal is as quick and easy to make as it is festive and inviting to enjoy.

Our naturally healthier version of a traditional holiday meal begins with chicken breasts, which are marinated refrigerated for a few hours in olive oil and wine vinegar with garlic, turmeric, coriander, orange peel, finely chopped onion and figs, a scattering of anise and sesame seeds, and black pepper. The breasts are then oven roasted and basted periodically until done, and allowed to sit briefly before slicing and serving  Once sliced and while still warm, the breast meat is pared with a generous half-plate of greens, julienne-cut cucumber and celery, and halved grape tomatoes. The meal is then garnished simply with roasted pistachios, parsley, garlic bits, paprika, and black pepper. Extra special but not a lot of extra work…so you have more time to spend with family and friends!

Hostess, the U.S. maker of iconic junk food that includes the Twinkie, is reportedly going out of business after an 80 year run. We can only hope so.

While we sympathize with workers displaced by the bankruptcy, from a health standpoint the chain of events leading to Hostess’ shuttering has to be seen as good news.

After all, the real story here is declining sales and a growing lack of market relevancy. People are buying less white bread and unhealthy sugar-rich snack foods, Hostess’ mainstays for more than two generations.

More than likely, the rights to the most well-known Hostess products will be purchased and these products will be produced again. Perhaps in new locations and at lower costs, in an attempt to keep these offerings alive in a world of growing health awareness and stalling demand for toxic food.

And while those of us prone to nostalgia may hope for a Hostess brand renaissance, at HumanaNatura we take a very different view and will say simply, goodnight Twinkie, and hope that it is a very long night indeed.

With the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday upon us, we thought we’d show how a special and naturally healthy Thanksgiving meal can be made the HumanaNatura way and following HumanaNatura’s OurPlate guidelines. Other than the extra step of roasting a turkey breast, this meal is as quick and easy to make as it is festive and inviting to behold.

Our naturally healthier version of a traditional Thanksgiving meal begins with a turkey breast, which was oven roasted and basted periodically until done, and then allowed to sit briefly before slicing. Once sliced and while still warm, the breast meat is pared with a generous half-plate of greens, parboiled broccoli florets and thinly sliced red onion, diced cucumber, halved grape tomatoes, and chopped dates. The meal is then garnished with dried cranberries in keeping with the holiday, along with parsley, garlic bits, paprika, and black pepper. Extra satisfying and a reminder to give thanks, this holiday and at every meal.

Ensuring meal variety and enjoyment is crucial, if you want to sustain and make the most of eating the HumanaNatura way and using HumanaNatura’s OurPlate guidelines. One way of doing this is by turning tasty protein foods normally eaten only at holidays, like turkey or roasts, into everyday foods. This change can be an unexpectedly good strategy for varying our meals, since many holiday foods are inexpensive away from holidays…and often are easily prepared in simple and creative ways that are healthy, quick, and a great break from more traditional day-to-day foods.

Today’s “holiday anytime” salad meal begins with a small turkey breast that’s pan-seared on both sides and then cooked covered on medium heat with onion and garlic bits, turmeric, paprika, parsley, and black pepper. After cooking for about 15 minutes and then allowed to cool a few more, it’s sliced and served with mixed greens, sliced baby cucumber and red onion, halved grape tomatoes, and a bit of diced mango . This simple but festive and satisfying mix of foods is garnished with a reprise of parsley, paprika, lemon, and black pepper. A great blend of warm and cool, spicy and sweet, holiday and everyday!

Home economists say we should never go shopping hungry, since we are apt to make poorer food choices. This isn’t a problem when we eat the HumanaNatura way and follow HumanaNatura’s OurPlate guidelines, even when our refrigerator is running low on food. Why? It’s not only because we get you in the habit of spending all your time in the healthiest parts of your local market, but also because even a bit of HumanaNatura leftovers at home can make for a quick and yummy meal before you shop. Here’s a great example.

This delicious salad meal is light and satisfying, preparing us for shopping or anything else we need to do, and only took about ten minutes to prepare. The salad begins with a small piece of salmon. It’s pan-seared with red onion, garlic bits, turmeric, and black pepper and then cooked covered on medium heat until done. While this extra-healthy fish variety is cooking, we scrounged for the last of the fruit and veggies in our fridge: a bit of arugula, half of a cucumber, a dozen grape tomatoes, an orange, and a still ripe kiwi lurking in back. It’s all combined and garnished with parsley, paprika, lemon, anise seeds, and black pepper. A beautiful and delicious way to make the best of whatever you’ve got on hand!
