PEARS

Did you know that pears can actually help manage prediabetes?  Antioxidants found in pears help prevent rapid carb digestion that can cause blood-sugar spikes.  Raw pears are great for sweetening bitter salads, and poached pears are a yummy dessert.  Try this pear recipe for your Independence Day gathering: Pear Salad With Dried Cherries and Candied Walnuts

CAULIFLOWER

Don’t let the mild taste of cauliflower fool you. It is full of vitamins and minerals! One cup of raw cauliflower contains 77% RDA vitamin C, dietary fiber, protein, vitamin K and potassium. And it’s only 25 calories!! Riced cauliflower is fantastic as a substitute for carb heavy white rice. And cauliflower crust on a pizza saves you lots of calories!  Here is a fun cauliflower appetizer recipe for July 4th: Buffalo Cauliflower

Celebrate Independence!

Tuesday, July 4, 2017
by The Hat Team

Today we celebrate freedom
thanks to those who came before.
Those brave men who fought and died
in each and every war.
Freedom always comes at a price,
And while we celebrate
We should tip our hats to the heroes
who made our country great.
