 Tropical Pina Colada

Healthy Fact of the Day

The Piña Colada was created in Puerto Rico in 1954 by bartender Ramón "Monchito" Marrero at the Caribe Hilton's Beachcomber Bar in San Juan. It became the official drink of Puerto Rico in 1978. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and add a bit more pineapple juice and coconut cream to taste.

Ingredients

 

  • 2 oz white rum
  • 2 oz coconut cream
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • Pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry for garnish
  • Optional: 1 oz dark rum for floating

 

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine white rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and crushed ice.

  2. Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy.

  3. Pour the mixture into a hurricane glass or tall glass.

  4. If desired, gently pour the dark rum over the back of a spoon to float on top of the drink.

  5. Garnish with a fresh pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry.

  6. Serve immediately with a straw.

Take a sip of this luscious Piña Colada and let the creamy blend of pineapple and coconut transport you to a sun-soaked Caribbean beach! With its perfect balance of sweet tropical flavors and smooth rum, this iconic cocktail is more than just a drink – it’s a mini-vacation in a glass. Close your eyes, listen for the imaginary waves, and let your worries melt away with each delightful sip!

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!

Tacos Dorados

While these are fried tacos, you can make them lighter by using lean ground beef (90/10), draining excess fat after cooking, and using just enough oil for frying rather than deep-frying. The protein from beef provides iron and B vitamins, and adding plenty of fresh lettuce and salsa increases vegetable intake while balancing the richness.

The Summer Produce Guide: What to Buy, What to Skip, and How to Make It Last

Summer produce consumed at peak ripeness and close to harvest contains significantly higher concentrations of vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients than the same produce purchased out of season or after extended storage. Tomatoes at peak ripeness contain measurably higher levels of lycopene — an antioxidant linked to cardiovascular health — than underripe ones, and the lycopene in cooked tomatoes is more bioavailable than in raw ones, making a simple summer tomato sauce one of the more nutritionally dense preparations available during peak season.

Mexican Taco Meatloaf

Black beans are one of the most nutritious additions you can make to any ground beef dish—they add plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and folate while extending the yield of the loaf so a smaller amount of beef feeds more people. Using lean ground beef and a salsa-based binder instead of a heavier sauce keeps the fat content in check without sacrificing any of the bold, satisfying flavor.
