24 Jan 2012 at 1:00am

"Liquid chicken nuggets. Who's hungry for @McDonalds? " That's a tweet released by the animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) directing anyone following the McDonald's #McDStories hashtag short-lived campaign that went live last week to learn more about the chain's ingredients, and just one of the many examples of how McDonald's recent Twitter marketing campaign backfired on the fast food giant.

by shilonikelle@gmail.com (Shilo Urban)
21 Dec 2011 at 1:08pm

Crisp apple strudel is on the list of everyone?s favorite things, up there with raindrops on roses and schnitzel with noodles. A Viennese classic that is popular all over Austria and in much of central and eastern Europe, ?Apfelstrudel? is a classic dessert that is not too sweet and thus well suited for teatime or even breakfast.

Getting Toasty with the Family? Homemade Holiday Eggnog
by kimbo_d@msn.com (Kimberley Stakal)
19 Dec 2011 at 10:34pm

Chances are that you won?t make it through the holiday season without encountering at least one cold glass of eggnog. The spiked egg and milk cocktail dates back to 17th century Europe, where it was enjoyed as an indulgent upper class drink. Today, it?s been diluted down to little more than cheap, sugary milk with artificial flavorings and additives?most commercial eggnog doesn?t even have real eggs in it. Fortunately, it?s incredibly simple to make the real deal?in the traditional style?in ...

Party, Please! Vegan 'Sausage' Stuffed Mushrooms
by ridereight@gmail.com (Jill Ettinger)
11 Dec 2011 at 11:14am

There's something inherently awesome about stuffing food into other food. Maybe we started doing it back in our hunter-gatherer days when the pickings were slim, or perhaps it just developed as a tool in doubling our yumm. But whatever the reason, it certainly works. The mushroom certainly was born to be stuffed. It takes entertaining up an ooh-aah notch even though - just between us - it's a whole lot easier than it looks. This recipe is vegan but loved by many meat-eaters, making it an exc...

Mulberries
by staffwriter@organicauthority.com (Staff Writer)
6 Jul 2011 at 1:00am

Move over blackberries! Mulberries are in town and they are begging for a picking. Mulberry - also known as Morus fruit - comes from the same tree used to raise silkworms, where the worms feed off the plant's leaves. The fruit, similar to blackberry, is an aggregate fruit that is composed of many smaller fruits called drupes. So, botanically-speaking, it's not a berry... but otherwise, it is. The skin is smooth and fragile, and the color changes from green to red to dark purple as it matures...

Broccoli Bacon Salad

Flax Seeds
by staffwriter@organicauthority.com (Staff Writer)
28 May 2011 at 1:00am

From a scientific name that means "most useful," flax earns its status as a health food staple, especially for vegetarians and vegans looking for those ever-elusive omega-3s. Flax seeds are a smidgen larger than sesame seeds and can be brown or golden with a smooth and shiny shell. The warm, earthy and subtly nutty flavor of flaxseeds combined with an abundance of omega-3 fatty acids make them an increasingly popular addition to the diets of many a health conscious consumer. You can find fla...

Lettuce Wraps Done Right
by ridereight@gmail.com (Jill Ettinger)
14 Apr 2011 at 10:47am

There are plenty of reasons to give bread a rest for awhile (um... thigh one and thigh two?). And with spring officially underway, there are so many tasty and healthy lettuces to enjoy, making it a terrific time to experiment with fresh and satisfying lettuce wraps. Essentially, anything that you'd cram in between two slabs of carb-heavy bread can go into a low-calorie, fiber-rich leaf.
Flax Oil
by staffwriter@organicauthority.com (Staff Writer)
29 Mar 2011 at 10:40am

For all of us jumping back onto the fat wagon, Flax Oil is one to be reckoned with (one of those 'good' fats). It's long been revered for its healing properties - growing for some 7,000 years in Southern Mesopotamia! According to ancient folklore, the seeds were crushed and blended with mustard to make a poultice for inflamed skin, as well as used to regulate the bowels and as an antidote for poisoning. And: Did you know that Flax Oil and Linseed Oil are the same thing? But, you certainly sh...

Squash Blossoms
by staffwriter@organicauthority.com (Staff Writer)
15 Mar 2011 at 10:30am

Squash blossoms stem from, you guessed it, squashes. The flowers from either summer or winter squash are edible and delicious, known as squash blossoms and available in varying shades of yellow and orange. Their flavor is light and airy - as the blossoms are themselves - and hint of the squash from whence it came. Squash blossoms can be used for much more than pretty garnish; they are large enough for all manner of cooking, including stuffing!
