Get ready, to go from ‘FARM’ to FABULOUS’ with the happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic’s on the upcoming Serve, Taste or Trash! Game podcast scheduled for Tuesday, April 2, 2013, 6 PM, EST.

The podcast features a delicious combination of crazy food challenges and fresh perspectives on the latest food trends to encourage kids of all ages to become more open-minded eaters. Our Mr. Divabetic’s good friend and colleague, Chef Robert Lewis aka ‘The Happy Diabetic’ joins the podcast to help tempt the world’s most picky eaters to eat more fruits and vegetables.  Chef Robert Lewis’ recipes celebrate great-tasting food that both diabetics and non-diabetics can enjoy. His cookbooks are filled with tips, tidbits, and humorous anecdotes that he hopes will make cooking fun! “You are not what you eat, you are how much you eat!,” says Chef Robert Lewis. Here’s one of Chef Robert Lewis‘ recipes featured on April’s upcoming Serve, Taste or Trash! Game podcast: Kale Chips With Sesame Seeds

Serves 4-5 as a snack

What’s in it?

Large bunch of kale, washed and fully dried

Olive oil (you’ll probably need at least 2 Tbsps)

Sea salt to taste (approximately ½ teaspoon)

Sesame seeds to taste

Let’s put it togather

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Remove the leaves from the center rib of the kale and tear them into large pieces.

2. Place leaves in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, salt and sesame seeds and toss until completely coated.

3. Divide the kale leaves between two heavy-duty baking sheets and arrange in a single layer. (Many recipes call for you to line the sheets with parchment paper but it’s not necessary unless you are really skimping on the oil – my chips did not stick at all.)

4. Bake for 25 minutes, or until crisp – the cooking time will depend somewhat on the thickness of the leaves and the size of the pieces. You can eat them as soon as they’ve cooled down enough to grab.

Foods That Fight Allergies

April 18, 2012

Feeling stuffed up from allergy symptoms? Try changing your diet to include foods that might help.

“An overall healthy diet is helpful for controlling all conditions, including allergies,” says Leonard Bielory, MD, chairman of the integrative medicine committee for the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) and a professor at Rutgers University. Recently, research has suggested that certain foods can help fight allergies by controlling underlying inflammation, dilating air passages, and providing other relief effects.

A recent study found that a heart-healthy Mediterranean diet, featuring nuts, grapes, oranges, apples, and fresh tomatoes, could provide allergy relief.
