Loooool, I didn't know such a day is even in existence lol nut Happy Thursday and Happy National Office Chocolate Day. This means you can eat Chocolate in your office without being told off or judged :-)
Enjoy and Indulge yourself :-)
Good Morning Foodies,
Today 18th October is marked as National Chocolate Cupcake Day. National Chocolate Cupcake Day is celebrated annually on October 18. This is the day for Chocolate and dessert lovers! Cupcakes have also been known to be called: Fairy Cakes.
Happy Chocolate Cupcaking lol :-)
Here are today’s five thing to know about Cupcake:
- Cupcake liners do more than make it easy to remove them from the pan. Traditionally, sides of tins are greased for easy removal, but also floured because the batter needs to have something to cling to. A cupcake liner takes care of both.
- On August 15, 2009 GourmetGiftBaskets.com broke the world record for largest cupcake ever made. The cupcake was 1,224 pounds, 4 foot tall by 10 foot wide, and had 2 million calories.
- One of the most popular cupcake bakery’s in the U.S. is Crumbs in New York City. They have reported $23.5 million in cupcake revenue last year alone!
- The first mention of a cupcake recipe goes as far back as 1796. Amelia Simms wrote a recipe in “American Cookery” which referenced, “a cake to be baked in small cups”.
- However, it wasn’t until 1828 that the actual word cupcake was used by Eliza Leslie in her cookbook “Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats”.

You probably think these foods are really healthy and you can eat them as much as you like. Well these surprising healthy foods contain a very high level of Hidden Sugars.
A new World Health Organisation guideline recommends adults and children reduce their daily intake of sugar to less than 10 percent of their total energy intake. A further reduction to below 5 percent – or roughly 25 grams (6 teaspoons) per day – would provide additional health benefits. Dropping sweets, doughnuts, fizzy drinksand baked goods, which are usually the major sources of added sugars, from your diet is not nearly enough.-source WHO

Cereal

Cereals with marshmallows and chocolate puffs are obviously high in sugar, but just how much sugar may surprise you. The Environmental Working Group examined the sugar content of 84 cereals and found 54 of them contained more than 24 to 26 percent sugar by weight. Kellogg's Honey Smacks, at 55.6 percent sugar, was the worst. Cereal is also surprisingly high in salt.
Low Fat Salad Dressings
source-Natures Health Foods
They make salads taste so much better but they also turn them from a healthy meal to the worst diet offender. Pay special attention to the dressings labeled “light”—when they reduce the fat, they often replace it with sugar. Some popular dressings, like French and Thousand Island, contain 2.4 grams per tablespoon. Sprinkle some lemon juice on you salad next time.
Flavoured Water
source-Splash Magazines
Just 8 oz. of this sweetened drink has up to 13 grams of sugar, USDA numbers show. Beware of the word “flavoured.” It is usually synonymous with sugar and artificial sweeteners. The popular Vitamin Water packs about 120 calories and 32 grams of sugar, just about half as much as a regular Coke.
Smoothies
source-Specialty Beverage Solutions
Smoothies may seem like a nutritious start to your day or a great post-workout pick-me-up and some are, but most contain a lot of unnecessary sugar. Even though some smoothies, like the ones at Jamba Juice, have lots of protein and real fruit, they’re also loaded with sugar – 50 to 70 grams in their small 16 ounce cups. If you need a smoothie, it’s best to make one at home.
Bread
Bread is a sneaky source of sugar. Just one slice of white, commercially prepared bread, has about 2 grams of sugar, according to USDA. Some sugar is formed naturally in the baking process but it is often added too. Most commercial types of bread contain sugar or high fructose corn syrup, just like other processed foods, according to Authority Nutrition.
Good Morning Foodies, hope you all had a great weekend?
Today Monday 17th October is National Pasta Day and if you love you pasta, this mean you can eat as much as you like and over indulge yourself :-)
Pasta is one of the world's most favourite foods! Spaghetti, lasagna, rotini, tortellini - there are over 600 known pasta shapes.
It's delicious, it's nutritious, it's versatile. It can be enjoyed as a main course, or as a side dish. Top it with your favourite sauce and mangiamo - let's eat! :-)
- The average American consumes 20 lbs. of pasta annually. This makes it the 6th highest food per capita in the country.
- As of March 2012, the average price an American pays for pasta is $1.45 per pound! This makes it one of the most affordable meals.
- 24% of the global consumption of pasta is by Americans – the largest of any country in the world. Americans consume 6 billion pounds of pasta each year.
- The United States produces 4.4 billion pounds of pasta annually, making it the second largest pasta-producing nation.
- Pasta made its way to the New World through the English, who discovered it while touring Italy. Colonists brought to America the English practice of cooking noodles at least one half hour, then smothering them with cream sauce and cheese.
Fresh vs Dry Pasta
Fresh pasta (pasta fresca) is not necessarily better than dried pasta (pasta secce). It just that it's made differently and it tastes different. Dry pastas are made with just wheat and water. Fresh pastas add egg to the dough
It is the shape of the noodle that gives pasta its name.
Some examples:
Spaghetti - cord Linguini - little tongues
Vermicelli - little worms Conchiglie - shells
Rotini - spirals Fettucine - small ribbons
Ravioli - little turnips Capellini - fine hairs
Fusilli - little spindles Cannelloni - tubes
Tortellini - little cakes Penne - quills
Rigatoni - short, wide fluted tubes
Lasagna - broad, sometimes ruffled, ribbons of pasta

Happy Sunday Foodies..
Today is World Food Day, it is a day celebrated every year around the world on 16 October in honour of the date of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945. The day is celebrated widely by many other organisations concerned with food security, including the World Food Programme and the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
The World Food Day theme for 2014 was Family Farming: “Feeding the world, caring for the earth” in 2015 it was "Social Protection and Agriculture: Breaking the Cycle of Rural Poverty"; in 2016 it is Climate Change: "Climate is changing. Food and agriculture must too", which echoes the theme of 2008, and of 2002 and 1989 before that.- source-wiki.com
World Food Theme- The world’s poorest are being hit hardest by climate change. If we strengthen the resilience of smallholder farmers, we can guarantee food security for the planet’s growing global population and also reduce emissions.
Why care about hunger?
Because the right to food is a basic human right. In a world of plenty, 805 million people, one in nine worldwide, live with chronic hunger.1 The costs of hunger and malnutrition fall heavily on the most vulnerable.
- 60% of the hungry in the world are women.2
- Almost 5 million children under the age of 5 die of malnutrition-related causes every year.3
- 4 in 10 children in poor countries are malnourished damaging their bodies and brains4
Every human being has a fundamental right to be free from hunger and the right to adequate food. The right to adequate food is realized when every man, woman and child has the physical and economic access at all times to adequate food or means for its procurement.5
Because we can end hunger in our lifetime. It’s possible. The world produces enough food to feed every person on the planet. In September 2000, world leaders signed a commitment to achieve eight Millennium Development Goals by 2015. MDG #1 is eradicate extreme poverty and hunger and includes three targets. Since then:
- Forty countries have already achieved the first target, to halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger by 2015. 6
- In addition, over the past 20 years, the likelihood of a child dying before age five has been nearly cut in half, which means about 17,000 children are saved every day.7
- Extreme poverty rates have also been cut in half since 1990.8
The challenge is significant, but these results show us that when we focus our attention, we can make big strides.
Because the cost of neglect is too high. No one in the world should have to experience hunger. In addition to the cost of human suffering, the world as a whole loses when people do not have enough to eat. Hungry people have learning difficulties, are less productive at work, are sick more often and live shorter lives. The cost to the global economy because of malnutrition is the equivalent of US$3.5 trillion a year.9 Hunger leads to increased levels of global insecurity and environmental degradation. Ending hunger is not just a moral imperative, but also a good investment for society.
Because it can happen to anyone. Even in the U.S., one of the richest countries in the world, one in seven Americans - 14.3 percent - does not have enough to eat.10 Nutritious food can be expensive, making a balanced diet a luxury for many. Loss of a job, a family tragedy, poor health, or an accident can make anyone, anywhere, go hungry in a moment. Globally, extreme climate events, war, or even financial crisis can dramatically affect a person’s ability to feed themselves and their families. Without social safety nets, resiliency measures and good policy in place, these small and large events can set off a cycle of hunger and poverty. source-worldfooddayusa.org
Winnie is still the best bear in the world 100%..If there's one book I read, it was definately the Pooh bear book.
I remember being young and loving this character, it brings so much joy to my face and even when I got pregnant, I still found myself getting baby stuff in this character.
Background of The Pooh Bear
Winnie-the-Pooh, also called Pooh Bear, is a fictional anthropomorphic teddy bear created by English author A. A. Milne. The first collection of stories about the character was the book Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), and this was followed by The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included a poem about the bear in the children's verse book When We Were Very Young (1924) and many more in Now We Are Six (1927). All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard.
The Pooh stories have been translated into many languages, including Alexander Lenard's Latin translation,Winnie ille Pu, which was first published in 1958, and, in 1960, became the only Latin book ever to have been featured on The New York Times Best Seller list.[1]
Hyphens in the character's name were dropped by Disney when the company adapted the Pooh stories into a series of features that became one of its most successful franchises. In popular film adaptations, Pooh Bear has been voiced by actors Sterling Holloway, Hal Smith, and Jim Cummings in English and Yevgeny Leonov in Russian.- source-wiki.com
World Egg Day is a unique opportunity to help raise awareness of the benefits of eggs and is celebrated in countries all around the world.World Egg Day was established at the IEC Vienna 1996 conference when it was decided to celebrate World Egg Day on the second Friday in October each year.
For centuries, eggs have played a major role in feeding families around the globe. They are an unbeatable package when it comes to versatility and top-quality protein at a very affordable price. And they are also an excellent source of choline, essential in memory and brain development. When you factor in convenience and terrific taste, there is just no competition.
Eggs are one of nature's highest quality sources of protein, and indeed contain many of the key ingredients for life. The proteins contained within eggs are highly important in the development of the brain and muscles, have a key role to play in disease prevention and contribute to wellbeing in latter life, particularly in relation to eyesight (avoiding macular degeneration).:-
Peoples across the globe celebrate this day by making variety of egg dishes and recipes
Benefits of Eggs:-
Eggs are among the few foods that can be classified as a “superfood.”They are loaded with nutrients, some of which are rare in the modern diet.Here are 10 health benefits of eggs that have been confirmed in human studies.
- Eggs Are Incredibly Nutritious. Eggs are among the most nutritious foods on the planet.A whole egg contains all the nutrients required to turn a single cell into a baby chicken.
- Eggs Are High in Cholesterol, But They Don’t Adversely Affect Blood Cholesterol
- Eggs Raise HDL (The “Good”) Cholesterol
- Eggs Contain Choline – an Important Nutrient That Most People Don’t Get Enough of
- Eggs Turn LDL Cholesterol From Small, Dense to Large, Linked to a Reduced Risk of Heart Disease

Not sure if you've been updated with the Tesco and Unilever Saga, but it looks like they have now both sorted out their price dispute whoop whoop.
And for all you Marmite lovers (eww), this is probably come as good news for you on a Friday morning.
This is what's been going on in a nutshell...
The supermarket giant and the UK's largest food manufacturer had been locked in a battle over wholesale prices.
Unilever had wanted to raise its prices by about 10% to compensate for the steep drop in the value of the pound.
But Unilever had to give some ground, the BBC understands.
Brands including Hellmann's Mayonnaise had been removed from Tesco's website.
"Unilever is pleased to confirm that the supply situation with Tesco in the UK and Ireland has now been successfully resolved," Unilever said.
"We have been working together closely to reach this resolution and ensure our much-loved brands are once again fully available. For all those that missed us, thanks for all the love."
A Tesco spokesman said: "We always put our customers first and we're pleased this situation has been resolved to our satisfaction."
Tesco had earlier on Thursday halted online sales of top-selling goods produced by Unilever such as Persil washing powder, Ben & Jerry's ice cream and Marmite yeast extract spread.
The BBC understands that those products should be available on the Tesco website again in the coming days.
Supermarket chain Asda said it too had successfully negotiated with Unilever.
An Asda spokesperson said: "We pride ourselves on having famously low prices for customers every day and work tirelessly with our suppliers to keep prices low".
Bruno Monteyne, a former senior Tesco executive who is now an analyst at Bernstein, said Tesco has typically one to two weeks' stock.
"While politicians can deny reality, a shampoo produced on the continent is now more expensive," he said. "This isn't about Tesco or Unilever, but about all UK retailers and suppliers."
Supermarkets frequently renegotiate supplier prices, but it is unusual for a dispute to be made public.
Sterling has dropped by about 16% against the euro and 19% against the dollar since the UK's vote in June to leave the EU.
The sharp drop has left suppliers and retailers dealing with the effects of higher bills for imported goods.
Unilever is the UK's biggest grocery manufacturer, but as many of its products are made outside the UK, it had argued it should be getting more.
Supermarket profit margins have already been squeezed by a long-running price war as the big established retailers try to stem the loss of market share to discounters such as Lidl and Aldi.- source bbc.co.uk
So they are now both friends afterall :-)
Have a great weekend all...
Good Morning Foodies,
Today is National M&M Day, I love M&M's so much...
M&Ms are like a whole new sweetie of their own, there are different varieties and you always just going for either then newest type, or the original. my favourite flavour is peanut :-)
Here are today’s five thing to know about M&Ms:
- From 1976 to 1985, there were no red M&Ms
- Blue M&Ms were introduced in 1995.
- M&Ms were taken along on the first space shuttle voyage in 1982.
- There are 340 million M&M’s produced daily.
- The “M&M” was modeled after a candy Forrest Mars, Sr. encountered while in Spain during the 1930s. During the Spanish civil war there, he observed soldiers eating chocolate pellets with a hard shell of tempered chocolate. This prevented the candies from melting, which was essential when included in soldiers rations as they were.
I'm definitely celebrating, here's my packet of M&M's today :-)
Alot of Supermarkets now mostly sell Greek Yogurts as they are promoting the "healthy eating/living option".
That prompted me to ask the question as to why this is the case and what really is the difference between those two. To me a yogurt is a yogurt, either Greek, regular, full fat or even mixed with Fruits.
Yogurts all taste the same to me and also mostly contain the same ingredients.
Greek yogurt is more strained than regular yogurt.
The reason that Greek yogurt is so much thicker and creamier than regular yogurt is because the whey is strained off of it. Whey is the milk's watery component, which remains after the milk has curdled. Removing that liquid is what gives Greek yogurt its denser consistency.
Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt.
Greek yogurt is commonly considered a healthy snack partly because it provides more protein than regular yogurt. According to Prevention, a six-ounce serving of Greek yogurt has just as much protein as three ounces of lean meat, which makes it a great alternative source of protein. Plus, it will keep you fuller for longer than regular yogurt will.
Greek yogurt has less sugar and carbohydrates than regular yogurt.
Straining off the whey translates into fewer carbs and less sugar in Greek yogurt. According to US News and World Report, regular yogurt has double the amount of carbs than Greek yogurt does. Just be wary of buying flavoured Greek yogurt, which can pack the sugar and the carbs back on.
Greek yogurt has more fat than regular yogurt.
While Greek yogurt boasts more protein and less sugar and carbs than regular yogurt, it also has a higher fat content. An eight-ounce serving of Danon's regular full-fat yogurt has five grams of saturated fat, whereas a seven-ounce serving of Fage full-fat Greek yogurt has over three times that amount (16 grams of saturated fat). It can be a good idea to go for low-fat or fat-free versions when buying Greek yogurt.
For many decades, people have been advised to limit their consumption of eggs, or at least of egg yolks (the white is mostly protein and is low in cholesterol). Common recommendations include a maximum of 2-6 yolks per week.
I do love my eggs and in fact I eat tem at least twice or three times a week by adding some oil, salt, seasonings and even mixing with some fresh peppers, onion and cheese.
But with eggs making their way into multiple meals a week, I have to wonder how healthy it really is to load up on all those yolks. But For the average person, two eggs a day is totally fine.
But there is one major caveat: “A person needs to look at their total diet to see where they’re getting their saturated fat from,” It’s totally healthy to get two eggs a day, but if you like your eggs scrambled with cheese on them, then you’ve just upped your saturated fat and calories by a lot.”
The bottom line is that the right amount of eggs is totally dependent on the rest of your diet. A single large egg has about 80 calories, five grams of fat, and six grams of protein. So, if you’re already getting plenty of protein and fat from other meals, eating a five-egg cheese omelette for breakfast every day is not a good idea. But if you know you’ll be on the go and don’t know where your next solid source of protein will come from, go ahead and crack an extra egg into the frying pan before you head out the door.

Hair and nails are mostly made of protein. Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues. You also use protein to make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals. Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.
Not only does it help our bodies recover from wounds and injuries, it also boosts energy and keeps us feeling full. But for those following a plant-based or vegetarian diet, sometimes extra effort can be required to make sure your body is getting enough of this vital nutrient.
It is particularly important to make sure you’re getting enough protein. Protein is not only important for muscles, it has many fundamental roles, including for our immune system, for making hormones, and for making haemoglobin that carries oxygen around our body.”
But how do we know we’re getting enough protein? Here are the signs you need to look out for.
- Depression or Low Mood- Protein is broken down into amino acids which are then used to make alot of vital substances like neurotransmitters. These natural chemicals are very vital for our brain and nervous system and some also have a direct effect on our mood. If you don't get enough protein, your production of serotonin may be reduced, contributing massively to your low mood.
- An Injury that takes longer than expected to heal- When your body tries to heal a wound, it creates stress hormones and diverts extra resources including carbohydrates, fats and proteins to create new tissue. If this takes longer than expected, your body compensates by sending additional protein to deal with the wound and in the process deprives other organs of the vital nutrient leaving the body protein-deficient.
- Swollen Ankles- This is a sign of Protein deficiency. Swollen ankle or oedema; this happens because proteins in our blood are responsible for keeping enough fluid in the blood vessels efficiently. Instead it stays in the tissues causing swelling especially in the lower legs, ankles and feet. This is why it is very essential to keep your protein intake up to avoid illnesses like this.
- Hair Loss- When you notice more hair coming out when you shower or your hair starts to get thin, or most likely all over the head rather than in patches or hairline, it is most likely you are low in Protein. Our hair is made up primarily of Protein especially protein called Keratin. And hair is also the least important protein structure in the body so when protein intake is low, it is allocated instead to more important factors such as keeping our immune system active. This is why Hair Loss may be one of the signs of low protein intake.
- Weak Immune System- Protein is used to keep the physical barriers in our body such as the skin and the mucous membranes intact in order to keep germs out. If you do notice that you are coming down with a cold or seem susceptible to infections, low protein could be the cause.
Remedy & Cure
1. Increase your protein intake with meat, or at least three servings a day of eggs and high-quality dairy foods if you are a vegetarian. Barns said: “For vegans, protein intake comes from beans and pulses, nuts and seeds, as well as vegetables and whole grains. Including a broad variety of these plant proteins every day is vital.”
2. Try a plant-based protein powder. “For vegetarians – and especially vegans – or those who have a low appetite, struggle to digest protein foods, or are on a weight-loss diet, then a plant-based protein powder can be a great option,” Barns said. “They are easy to digest and, in the case of those trying to lose weight, can be kept low-calorie.”
3. Track your protein intake. Shona Wilkinson, a nutritionist at SuperfoodUK, said: “If you’re recovering from illness, injury or surgery, or if you’re highly stressed, then tracking your protein intake using any of the helpful online tracking tools or apps can be a great first start.
“I would advise aiming for around 1.2 grams of protein per kilo of body weight as a start.

Christmas is just over 10 weeks away and if you are a tad bit organised like me, you will have already started your Christmas shopping.
If you are stuck on how to spend less during the festive period or just shopping in general, then please read on :-)
Here are a few tricks on how to spend less money when you do your shopping:-
If you are stuck on how to spend less during the festive period or just shopping in general, then please read on :-)
Here are a few tricks on how to spend less money when you do your shopping:-
- Trick one- Go to the Supermarket Just before Closing:- The trick here lies in going to the grocery store not just really early in the morning, but just before closing time. Reason being that market traders often offer their products at lower process for not having too much unsold merchandise from having to reload the truck and bring it back. Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's & Waitrose usually do this a lot and it come in very handy for me.
- Trick two- Diversify the Stores where you do the Shopping:- When doing your shopping, try and choose the stores in operation of different purchases. For example, for basic products such as Rice, Pasta, Flour and detergent, you can choose a discount and do some economy. The markets are to be privileged to buy fresh produce. For vegetables, to give priority to the farmers market stalls that have more fresh, genuine and often cheaper.
- Trick Three:- Check the Expiration Dates- Be attentive to the promotions offered at the supermarket. They are often linked to the expiry date printed on the packaging. For example, the meat that comes close to the expiration date, it is often sold on promotion. Buy it to cook it the same evening and you will make some economies.
For products such as yogurt or cheese, even if the expiration date printed on the packaging is close, they can consume even up to one week after the due date without any risk to Health. Then take advantage of the promotion on the yogurt due to expire allows to economize.
- Trick Four:- Make a Shopping List- If there is one thing I always do when I either shop online or in-store, it would be to always make sure I make a list. I do this so as to be sure not to give in to temptation of buying things that I don't actually need or are unnecessary. The best thing to do is to go to the supermarket with a shopping list either doing it the traditional way of writing on a piece of paper or writing it on my mobile phone's note pad :-) This was you will only go for the departments that you are interested in and will buy only what you really need.
- Trick Five:- Do your shopping Online- If you have been reading my blog for a while, you would know how much I promote online shopping. I find it easier and more convenient. You get the items delivered to your door and you can get free delivery with some supermarkets or even as cheap as £1 delivery. The great thing about shopping online is not just the convenience, it is also the fact that you will be saving a lot of money on travel i.e. petrol or transport fee, the queues at the checkouts and also buying things that are not necessary. I also have a shopping list already saved on my online store with the same supermarket I shop with, so each month I either recycle or add more items to my basket. Easy peasey :-)
Ever heard of Fatty Foods that you can consume without that guilt feeling?.
Lets look at a few of them, it might even give you a shocker lol.....
Raw Egg Yolk
Not all fats are bad, some are essential to the organism. The raw egg yolk for example is very rich in enzymes and is easily assimilated, without providing any toxin. But attenziona to cook it because it can be the cause of excess cholesterol in the blood.
Extra Dark Chocolate
Now you might be thinking, how can chocolates be good for you... Well the extra dark chocolate is metabolized without having any impact on cholesterol.
It has an antioxidant action thanks to flavonoids it contains and is a good source of minerals.
Salmon
This is one of my favourite fish, I love to have mine with some homemade rost potatoes and veggies on the side. Salmon, while being a particularly tasty fish is healthy because it contains a lot of omega 3 essential fatty acids that the body must be introduced through diet, as it is unable to synthesize them alone. Other fish are an excellent source of omega 3 are cod, sardines, herring, mackerel and tuna.
Soybean Oil
Another oil that is good for you is Soybean oil, it is mostly been used in the Asian region; it contains little saturated fat, but be careful about how it is preserved as it can easily become rancid.
Coconut
Coconut is a very calorific fruit, in fact, 100 grams of pulp make well 360 calories, but contains important minerals such as magnesium, potassium, copper, phosphorus, zinc, iron, B vitamins and vegetable and is very good for you

The immune system, as its name suggests, is the sum of the functions of different organs and glands, which work together in order to keep the body in balance. For this often only one remedy does not allow thoughts during the flu season. But by adopting an appropriate lifestyle you can reduce the recurrence of infections and feel stronger throughout the year.
The help of Homeopathy
Homeopathy is used by many for years also in order to strengthen the immune system. Hiring the remedies recommended by a homeopathic doctor would be the best thing, because he will indicate the most suitable substances for the individual case and the needs of everyone. The treatment can be more or less long, also depending on the state of the defences of each patient.
Refelxology
The Use of Spices
Even the use of some spices can help stimulate the body and its defenses. One of these is definitely
ginger, which in addition to allowing the prevention, is also very useful in cases where they contract either a cold or it feels congestionati.Allo same way, also the nutmeg is very useful, as indicated as natural antiviral. The preparations may be added to foods, but if used as a remedy, should be measured by a herbalist.
