2 January 2016 SOUP-R-BOWL The big event is almost here. You plan on having a party to celebrate the big game, but are running out of time and ideas on what to serve. How about warming up your guests with a large pot of soup? A large pot of soup can surely feed a large crowd; it is filling, cost effective, and most importantly yummy! Nutritionally, soup is a win. Soup/stew is usually high in fiber from beans and vegetables, adding bulk to your meal as it goes through the stomach and intestinal tract. Pump up the fiber in your soups by adding beans when possible and use whole grains like barley, brown rice, wild rice, or whole-wheat pastas instead of refined grains. Soups/stew is also high in protein. Soups that feature a lean protein like chicken, turkey, lean beef, and fish, can contribute an impressive amount of protein (and satiating power), about 30 grams of protein per serving. Opt for leaner cuts whenever. If the recipe calls for sausage, substitute a less fat turkey or chicken sausage and you can usually cut the amount in half and add some beans instead. Now you ask how you can transform a pot of soup into the main event at your party. Try a toppings buffet to go along with your warm bowl of soup! Serve Beer-Lovers Chili soup (recipe below) buffet style and include various toppings. Baked corn tortilla chips Chopped up scallions/ green onion Corn Bread Waffles (pour your favorite cornbread batter onto a nonstick waffle iron coated with canola cooking spray and cook as usual) Toppings Buffet Ideas Crispy Bacon bits Diced peppers or jalapeños Guacamole Low-fat cheddar Cheese Crispy Bacon bits Hot sauce/salsa Non-fat greek yogurt or light sour cream Whole grain Crackers Samantha Woulfe MS, RD, LDN

4 February 2016 A Buyer s Guide to HEALTHY OILS With the large variety of cooking oil choices at the supermarket, it is easy to be overwhelmed when trying to choose the best oil to support a heart healthy diet. Here s a guide for choosing healthful oils, plus which oils you should always have on hand for your favorite recipes. Good Oils vs Bad Oils Choosing polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats olive and canola oils, for instance over saturated fats, like butter and lard, can minimize your risk for heart disease. A well-stocked kitchen includes a variety of different oils for a variety of reasons: what you re using them for, their nutritional benefits you and how much they cost. Choosing unsaturated fats are the best choice to help round out a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains. Monounsaturated Use olive oil for cooking and canola oil for baking. Polyunsaturated You probably get enough omega-6 in your diet, so focus on having more foods packed with omega-3 (salmon, walnuts, etc). Limiting saturated fats and completely avoiding trans-fats whenever possible is another important part of a heart healthy diet. Saturated Bottom line is, the fewer the better. Less than 7 percent of your daily fat calories should come from saturated fats. Cut back on saturated fats by avoiding dairy items (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc) that are labeled whole and 2 percent. Limit the amounts of red meat and other animal proteins you eat. You can do this by cutting back how often you eat them, how much of them you eat at a meal, or both. Trans Eliminate all trans fats from your diet by staying away from foods that contain hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. (Read the ingredient list!) Shortening and stick margarine contain trans fat. Keep in mind that oil is a fat, and fat calories are still fat calories, no matter which type of oil you use. So, aim to use the least amount of fat possible to prepare your foods while still receiving the greatest amount of taste and health benefits. Melissa O Brien MS, RD, LDN

5 February 2016 OUR TOP THREE OIL PICKS If you have limited pantry space along with a limited budget, these three oils will cover your basic cooking and baking needs. Extra-Virgin Olive In addition to being a source of monounsaturated fats, extra-virgin olive oil is also high in antioxidants called polyphenols that have been linked to heart heath. Best uses: Use in recipes that will benefit from olive oil s rich flavor drizzle on steamed vegetables and use to make salad dressing or to sauté vegetables. Monounsaturated: 78% Polyunsaturated: 8% Saturated: 14% Walnut This specialty oil carries a higher price tag, but along with that comes a rich, nutty flavor and omega-3s. Walnut oil as with all nut oils has a short shelf life. Buy a small bottle and store it in your refrigerator for up to 3 months. Best uses: Its nutty flavor doesn t work in every dish but it s delicious in salad dressings (try a blend of canola and walnut oils) or baked goods that would benefit from a light walnut flavor. Monounsaturated: 24% Polyunsaturated: 67% Saturated: 9% Canola Its neutral flavor and high smoke point makes this oil an outstanding choice for baking and sautéing. Most canola oil is highly refined which means that it doesn t have many antioxidants like olive oil does but it does have a relatively long shelf life. Best uses: Extremely versatile, use canola oil for sautéing, roasting, baking and making salad dressings. If you want to enjoy the heart-healthy benefits of olive oil but find its flavor too strong, try using a 1:1 ratio of canola and extra-virgin olive oil when making salad dressing. Monounsaturated: 62% Polyunsaturated: 31% Saturated: 7% Build a Better Basket for Kidney Health VIRTUAL GROCERY STORE TOURS Join the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois and Jewel-Osco at 11:00 am on Friday, March 4, Tuesday, March 22, and Monday, March 28 for a new, virtual program focused on improving kidney health, by eating healthy.

6 March 2016 SMART SNACKING Celebrate National Nutrition Month this March by practicing your snacking game. Snacking sometimes gets a bad rap, but the truth is that eating small, frequent meals is better for your health than fasting most of the day and overeating at dinner time. Enjoying snacks between meals can help with weight management by improving metabolism and reducing the urge of over eating at night. Additionally, it keeps you energized. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, snacks can boost your energy between meals and supply essential vitamins and minerals. For a quick, nutritious snack, try eggs. With protein plus iron, calcium, vitamins B12, D, E, riboflavin, folic acid, and essential fatty acids, eggs are a low cost way to satisfy your hunger. For a healthy snack, consider a fruit and veggie smoothie with a punch of protein from a safe pasteurized shell egg. Need a super filling snack in 5 minutes? Try a savory egg and avocado toast with some fresh cracked pepper. This also makes for a great breakfast with 12 grams of protein and 8 grams of monounsaturated heart healthy fats. For another easy snack idea grab some carrot and celery sticks and dip into a homemade dressing made with safe eggs and heart healthy olive or canola oil. And you can never go wrong with a hardboiled egg. These will last in your refrigerator for up to one week so boil 7 at once and you will have a great snack for the entire week!
