Does Organic Translate to Healthy?
Have you ever wondered why shredded cheese doesn’t stick to each other in the bag? Or thought about why beef jerky is dried meat, but has a smoky flavor? The food that we are serving and buying may look and taste good, but in reality may not be as healthy as we, the consumers may be thinking it to be. Buyers of many products do not even know what they are necessarily consuming. Perhaps some people are aware, whereas on the other hand some may not even care that much to either know or do anything about it.

My Time With McNish
Part 1: Getting Back Into the Groove Have you ever learned something that took years of practice, training, and dedication to achieve only to suddenly have to toss it out the window and start from scratch?

A Trip Around the World with Nutella
A few years ago, a map—created by the OECD—made the rounds on the Internet, showing the sites of Nutella’s headquarters, sales offices, factories, and sources of all the popular chocolate hazelnut spread’s ingredients. The map was quite impressive; Nutella had quite literally spread itself to all ends of the earth. The advancements of globalization, and improvements in technology and transportation in recent decades, have made it possible for the food on your table to come from practically anywhere. But it also got me thinking: if the food I eat can come from almost anywhere on this earth, how far is it really travelling to get to me? And what kind of impact does this vast distance have on the planet?

The Color of a Flavor
If you went to your favorite restaurant and ordered your favorite meal, and it came out a different color, would you still eat it? What if it was a blue steak and green fries? According to Morgen Jahnke in “The Influence of Color on Taste Perception,” some participants in a 1970s study became ill when they found out they ate blue steak and green fries (2). Even though food coloring does not impact the taste of the food, many people will become physically ill at the thought of eating a food that has been artificially colored. Most people will also associate the food's color with a taste and claim the food has a different taste than it actually contains. The artificial colors of food prove to change taste perception without changing the actual taste. Artificial food coloring has impacted the human body for centuries.

Back in the day, I used to make this for my church group functions and family Christmas Eve dinners. It became more of a contest later on because everybody else brought theirs too. They even gave out prizes for the best. This recipe won at least a couple of times.
