Overdid It on the Chili, Wings, and Beer? How to Get Heartburn Relief

admin — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 16:12:08 +0000

In terms of calories consumed in one day, the Super Bowl Sunday spread is only bested by the Thanksgiving feast. Being that the game comes but once a year, many sports fans go all out, consuming a variety of spicy snacks – chili, buffalo wings, salsa – along with beer, pizza, and dips. All that food can lead to digestive disaster. If you’re suffering from heartburn, here’s how to get relief. Let loose: Loosen up your clothing if it’s fitted. The compression around your chest and stomach can make heartburn symptoms worse. Put down the bottle: Stop drinking alcohol, carbonated beverages, and drinks containing caffeine like coffee and Coca-Cola ASAP. Don’t reach for a cooling glass of milk either. It’s a myth that milk relieves heartburn. It may feel good at first, but can actually worsen symptoms. Sip water instead. Chuck the wings: Avoid eating any more spicy or greasy foods, foods that contain pepper, and acidic foods such as oranges, tomatoes, and vinegar. Chocolate, mint, ketchup, and mustard are also common heartburn triggers, so avoid eating these as well. Grab a stick: Of gum, that is. Chew gum to increase saliva production, helping to neutralize stomach acid. Keep reading for more ways to get immediate heartburn relief.

Revamped Girl Scout Cookies: Vegan Peanut Butter Patties

admin — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:02:06 +0000

Forget about the partially hydrogenated palm oil and artificial flavors - this vegan peanut butter patty, inspired by the Girl Scout Tagalong classic, has all the buttery, peanut buttery, and chocolatey goodness of the original minus the animal products and unpronounceable ingredients. This recipe is definitely involved, but it’s a fun way to test your baking skills and make something you are truly proud of. Think of it this way - Girl Scout cookies only come out once a year so make this your special, annual treat. While it’s not necessary to temper the chocolate, you’ll see that it gives the cookies a sheen and snap that’s attractive and delicious. Untempered chocolate will “bloom,” meaning the fat of the cocoa will rise to the top creating a white, dull appearance (like the cookie on the left). If this happens to you, don’t worry! The cookies are still edible, so savor the efforts of your hard work. Click here to see the recipe.
