Spinach-Puffs

Spinach Puffs

Healthy Fact of the Day

These puffs combine nutrient-rich spinach with indulgent pastry. Spinach provides iron, calcium, vitamins A and K, and fiber. To make healthier, use light cream cheese and reduced-fat feta. Consider whole wheat puff pastry if available. The garlic and onions add flavor plus beneficial compounds. While puff pastry is high in calories, the spinach filling adds significant nutrients. For a lighter version, make them smaller or use phyllo dough instead. The combination of cheeses provides calcium and protein. These make a great way to incorporate greens into an appetizer. Consider serving with yogurt-based dip instead of higher-calorie options.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Diet Cherry Coke Is Making a Comeback

Love flavored sodas but want to reduce sugar and artificial sweeteners? Make your own by adding fresh or frozen fruit to sparkling water. Muddle fresh cherries with a splash of lime juice and top with unflavored seltzer for a naturally sweet, refreshing drink. Or freeze fruit juice in ice cube trays and add them to plain sparkling water—as they melt, they naturally flavor your drink. You’ll control exactly what goes in, save money, and might discover flavor combinations you love even more than the store-bought versions.
