Cauliflower Scramble Recipe – mindbodygreen
Gena Hamshaw knows how to make food mouthwatering, and in her new book, Power Plates: 100 Nutritionally Balanced, One-Dish Vegan Meals, she does just that. Everything is mouthwatering and crave-worthy, whether you’re plant-based or not, and genius tweaks add vitality and brightness to vegan staples—and this cauliflower scramble is no exception. Vegan scrambles tend to be tofu-based, but this version uses cauliflower. “It becomes crisp-tender during cooking, and it soaks up spices and seasonings well,” Gena explains. “I especially like to pair it with chickpeas, which add protein and texture to this colorful morning meal.”
‘Ultra-processed’ products now half of all UK family food purchases | Science | The Guardian
Exclusive: health experts warn increasing popularity of industrially-made food will lead to negative effects such as obesity and poor health
Half of all the food bought by families in the UK is now “ultra-processed”, made in a factory with industrial ingredients and additives invented by food technologists and bearing little resemblance to the fruit, vegetables, meat or fish used to cook a fresh meal at home.
Research by global nutrition experts reveals the scale of our food evolution, from farm-fresh to factory-manufactured. “Real food” has been replaced by salty snacks and sugary cereals, industrially-made bread and desserts, ready-meals and reconstituted meats alongside sweetened soft drinks.
The study of 19 European countries is published this month in a special issue of the journal Public Health Nutrition. It shows that UK families buy more ultra-processed food than any others in Europe, amounting to 50.7% of the diet. Germany comes second, on 46.2% and then Ireland on 45.9%. While the figures are not directly comparable, extracted from national surveys carried out differently and from different years, the trend is clear.
A Pro Makeup Artist Gave Us A Bunch Of Really Good Tips For Every Skill Level
Line the bottom lash line FIRST, for a most perfect wing!
If you’re a beginner who never gave a damn about makeup until Rihanna dropped Fenty, try out this look. Hector gave us very helpful tips and thorough steps, start to finish.
If you’re not that experienced with concealer, just dab a little more foundation than normal under your eyes. Use the Precision Makeup Sponge’s flat edge at the top for a more accurate application under the eyes and lips. Daniela wears shade 150 for light skin with neutral undertones.
Contouring is completely optional, but if you wanna give it a go, Hector first highlighted Dani in the Match Stix Matte Skinstick shade French Vanilla. Your face isn’t all one color and the light hits it at different angles, so the purpose of contour highlight is to basically accentuate those points of your face that are naturally lighter: forehead, under eyes, bridge of nose. In case you’re thinking, “But I thought highlighter was the pretty shimmery stuff.”, you’re absolutely correct and we’re gonna get to that! But there’s also contour highlight, which should be about one to two shades lighter than your skin tone, and it adds dimension to your face.
A Salad a Day May Be Good for Brain Health
Eating leafy greens may help slow mental decline.
Researchers studied 960 men and women ages 58 to 99 who completed food frequency questionnaires and had two or more cognitive assessments over an average of almost five years of follow-up.
Among many other foods, the researchers recorded the number of servings of lettuce, spinach, kale and collard greens. At least twice over the course of the study they administered cognitive tests covering memory, spatial ability and perceptual speed.
Those who ate the most leafy vegetables – one to two servings a day – scored the equivalent of 11 years younger on tests of mental ability than those who ate little or none. Greens contain lutein, folate, beta carotene and other nutrients known to affect aging.
Could the same effect be obtained with supplements containing these nutrients? Probably not. “The evidence for supplements is not positive, either from observational studies or clinical trials,” said the lead author, Martha Clare Morris, a professor of epidemiology at Rush University in Chicago. “The nutrients in food have many different forms and interactions. A specific formulation put in a pill with the same effect? That’s wishful thinking.”
We Know If You’re An Introvert Or An Extrovert Based On Your Cheesecake Factory Order
You value your alone time, you dread small talk, and you tend to think things over rather than speak your thoughts outloud. But that doesn’t mean you don’t like coming out of your shell and having a good time…it just might take you some warming up (and a hefty glass of wine) first.
While many people think you’re a extroverted person who loves being the life of the party, the truth is you consider yourself more of an introvert. You can be fun and social for a period of time, but then you need an ample amount of alone time to decompress. You love going to parties, but you’re also king of sneaking out unannounced.
You’re a total extrovert: Social, friendly, and enthusiastic. You don’t understand the point of alone time…in fact, if you had it your way you’d spend every waking minute with your besties. While you can come off a little bit strong (especially to introverts), people are drawn to you for your outgoing, life-loving personality.
14 Life Lessons I Learned In Culinary School That Didn’t Involve Cooking
Some of the most important lessons had nothing to do with cooking.
Sure, I spent most of my time learning the fundamentals of cooking, but I also learned a ton of valuable stuff that helped me become a better professional (and person).
The first thing you should know about working in kitchens (and attending culinary school) is that the dishwasher has a lot of control over your success. Everybody should be treated like a chef — it’s simply a sign of respect. Anthony Bourdain actually talked about being a dishwasher and said it taught him “every important lesson of my life.” Treat every coworker like they’re your superior, and never overlook the people underneath you.
In culinary school, there’s always something productive to do — and they’ve even got a saying: “If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean.” Teachers set up classes like a real job, and you’ve gotta learn how to organize your tasks in order to accomplish everything. Map out your days, and think about what takes the longest — if a braise (or an expense report, if that’s more your style) takes two hours to complete, then knock that out first and go from there.

I Can’t Decide Whether I Love Or Hate This New Tea Trend
Nie Yunchen, CEO of popular cheese tea purveyor HeyTea, says the tea was conceived after his company noticed people’s aversion to the bitterness of tea. Since blowing up in Taiwan, the UK, and Singapore, the drink has been making its way to the US.
While the original recipes call for non-dairy powdered cheese, Little Fluffy Head opts for real cheese, along with whipping cream, milk, and a little bit of salt to give it its sweet and savory taste.
The lid helps guide the cheese out first, followed by the liquid tea.
Generations Come Together Over Pickleball : Shots – Health News : NPR

It’s a bright fall morning in Santa Cruz County, Calif., and the tennis area at Brommer Street Park is overrun with dozens of people. But they aren’t here for tennis. Instead, cadences of pick-pock sounds fill the air as doubles players — many in their 50s and older — whack yellow Wiffle-like balls back and forth on eight minicourts.
This recreational craze, which has an estimated 2.8 million players nationally, has a quirky name: pickleball.
I stumbled across the game last summer, when I started coming to this park to hit the tennis balls around with my dad, who’s still nimble at 87.
Could this upstart racket sport, I wondered, be something my elderly father and I could enjoy together?
My dad has played tennis for fun, for most of his life, but he’s out of practice and slowing down. And with my bum knee and elbow tendinitis, I haven’t played much tennis since high school. He’s still better at the game, though I’m quicker on my feet; we both spend a lot of time trudging around to retrieve wayward balls.
Mindfulness Apps Turn Device Obsession Inside Out : Shots – Health News : NPR

She’s not tuning in, she’s tuning inward — letting go of stress, or at least trying to, with a mindfulness app on her phone.
From fires and hurricanes, to confrontational politics — with all that’s been going on, it’s no wonder the American Psychological Association found an increase in Americans’ stress levels over the last year.
Our constant checking of smartphones — with the bombardment of news and social media — can amp up our anxiety. So, why not use your device to help you disconnect?
Mindfulness apps, such as Simply Being, are an increasingly popular way to help manage stress. Using this app, you can tap into a soundtrack of soothing sounds to help clear your mind. (Cue babbling brook, singing birds, meditation gongs!)
The idea behind mindfulness is simple to explain, but hard to execute. The goal is to focus on the present moment, and to let go of regrets of the past or worries about the future. And some researchers say apps can be a useful tool to assist this practice.
