I'm Back... I have been away for a bit, but I am back with lots of fun information. Here is a new magazine that was generously subscribed to, for me (THANK YOU CARMEL!). I have the Fall 2009 issue and it is available until November 3rd. I highly recommend this magazine. There are some great articles, recipes and all over wonderful advice! The one article that I really liked was "Pick of the crop", it is all about APPLES... did you know that there are more than 2,500 varieties of apples grown in the United States? Who Knew!!! This article picked 18 of the most popular/better known apples and devised a guide as to where they originated from or were developed, their taste and texture and best uses. Fugi Apples is highest in phenolics (that's Antioxidants to us) among the 13 top apples. The McIntosh Apple bruises the easiest and the Jonathan Apple's flavor can "vary" from mild to tart depending where it is grown. I have always loved that there is an apple with my son's name, Jonathan, because he is the "Apple of my Eye"... ahhhhh
So, I strongly suggest you check out the magazine, or at least the website, www.hearthealthyonline.com. Another website I think is interesting and worth a look is, www.womenheart.org, this is The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease.
Have a GREAT weekend and I promise to update on a more regular bases.
So it's that time of the year and all the orchards are brimming with fresh picked apples. My new favorite apple is called Gingergold. It's a cross between a Golden Delicious and a Pippin. YUM!!!!!
