n inventory of my living room floor this morning: socks, washcloths, plastic containers, rawhide chew toys, a blanket, several different single shoes, shredded paper towel and, in the middle of it all, a snorting, snuffling shape the size of a bed pillow marked by a distinctly bovine scent.

Dog days A canine course in

For the first time in my life, I have a dog. Lucy came to our house several months ago, a small bundle of energy that most resembled a bear cub. In short order, she has shape-shifted herself into a wolf, but that is not her most significant transformation. Now, I’m not claiming she is a wonder dog or anything like that, or that our lives have become like one of those corny movies about dogs. Lucy is a pretty ordinary dog, from what I can tell. But having a dog requires that you look at life a little differently than you had before. Having a dog - even for several short months - has changed me.

Zen philosophy.

NOTES ABOUT THIS ISSUE – AND OTHER PRESSING ISSUES

Malcolm has been editor of the Exchange since 1994, teaches at UWM and has been a freelance journalist for more than two decades. His own blog can be found at <malcolmmcdowellwoods.

First there are the obvious changes to routine. Morning walks around the neighborhood. Trips to the dog park. Evening walks around the neighborhood. Playtime in the backyard. Everything on the kitchen island bunched up - everything, fruit, plates, letters, pens, keys, sunglasses - in the very center, the one area furthest removed from her reach and thus safe, for now. Then there are the changes to my social life. I have met more of my neighbors in the past two months than in the whole year prior. Mind you, I might know them more as the

But the more critical changes are to my psyche. I’ve been reading a book called “Inside of a Dog,” an examination into dog behavior written by a scientist and dog lover. The author decries the way most people speed-walk their dogs. Dogs would rather smell and explore. So Lucy and I ramble on our walks. Stones, fire hydrants, tree trunks, the squirrel chattering at us from overhead - these are all good reasons to stop and explore. On our first walks, I’d tug at the leash and plead with her to come along. Now, I stop and wait while she sniffs around. I explore, too. I look at the trees and the sky. I smell the air. This week, the linden trees in the neighborhood are in flower and the smell is almost overwhlmingly sweet. Tiger lillies are blooming in gardens. At dusk, firelies ascend to mystify Lucy and delight me. Exhausted by the effort and energy expended on her walks, Lucy sprawls on the floor and sleeps unashamedly. It is the sleep of the satisfied and content. Perhaps she dreams of better chew toys or of catching those chipmunks that taunt her in our backyard – who knows. But I envy her that sleep. It is the sleep that comes from living fully engaged with the world. Lucy lives - and sleeps - in the moment. And she is teaching me to do so - better than any self-help books I have read. malcolm@outpostnaturalfoods.coop

North Shore suburbs; an area that was previously without any outdoor public pool. Milwaukee’s parks offer both more passive and active experiences, Black adds. You can simply enjoy scenic views — or hike, bike, and play sand volleyball or tennis. She urges people to explore new experiences. “If you are familiar with part of the Oak Leaf Trail closest to your home, try a new section” or “see if you can discover a hidden waterfall” in a park, Black suggests. Nature near the city For a nature experience, explore the sevenbridge hike at Grant Park. As you wind your way through the ravine on unpaved and lannon stone paths, stone staircases and numerous foot bridges, you will be surrounded by wildflowers, birds and the sound of a rushing brook.

Stay Local – Play Local: Don’t overlook our county parks this summer!

such creative initiative is “Music Under Glass” at the newly-renovated Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory — known familiarly as “the Domes.”

When it comes to our parks, Milwaukeeans are apt to know the “stars” such as Grant, Lake, Washington and Whitnall Parks, Bradford Beach, Boerner Botanical Gardens and the Domes, but Stay Local Play Local encourages people to branch out a little and discover new sweet spots.

f you are looking for summer fun and recreational activities, check out your own backyard! Well, maybe not your own yard, but definitely your Milwaukee County Parks. Whether it’s golfing, hiking, swimming, concerts, or fish fries, you’ll discover enjoyable experiences in the 150 parks and parkways that form our emerald necklace — 15,000 acres of green space.

Wehr Nature Center is another option; you can be up close and personal with a variety of wildlife including a few residents at the visitor center — or visit the Urban Ecology Center at Riverside Park, a wooded area that provides a great outdoor classroom. Back at the center, you can visit reptiles and amphibians, play board games, or climb the viewing tower or climbing wall. The UEC now has a Washington Park branch for west side residents.

Across town, you can take in the glorious views at Lake Park, or try tennis, golf, and even lawn bowling. The next generation “We want the younger generation to discover the hidden treasures of the park system,” Black says. She aims to have young people develop a sense of connection to their community and take ownership of the parks. Hiring young people as lifeguards and seasonal park workers facilitates this as they develop a feeling of respect and pride in the parks.

Obituary: Naturalist Lorrie Otto inspired a backyard revolution

Thinking locally: Local business networking group Our Milwaukee nears 200 independent members

“If suburbia were landscaped with meadows, prairies, thickets or forests, or combinations of these, then the water would sparkle, fish would be good to eat again, birds would sing and human spirits would soar.”

n 2007, Our Milwaukee began. Looking to rally independent businesses, the alliance was formed to support local industry, keep dollars within the community and celebrate the distinct character of our city. Alterra, Beans and Barley, Brewery Credit Union, Laacke and Joys, Lakefront Brewery, Outpost Natural Foods and The Pabst Theater heeded the initial call. The success of the organization helped membership gain momentum. 93 new members joined Our Milwaukee in 2009 and, as of this writing, 56 new members have signed on this year. The result? A mere three years after the group launched, Our Milwaukee has nearly 200 members.

Those were the words of Lorrie Otto, whose vision of suburban landscaping was something quite different from the ubiquitous golf course-style lawns we see so much of today. A naturalist, teacher, conservancy advocate and inspiration to many, Lorrie passed away this May at the home of her daughter, Tricia Otto, in Bellingham, Wash. Next Chapter Books is a member of Our Milwaukee. Photo by Liz Setterfield.

of DDT by the village, convinced the synthetic pesticide was causing the birds to suffer and die. Lorrie became a founding board member of the Wisconsin Chapter of The Nature Conservancy and the Citizens Natural Resources Association and took her complaint to legislators. In 1970, Wisconsin officials banned the use of DDT and Sen. Gaylord Nelson took the issue to Washington, D.C. By 1972, a nationwide DDT ban was in place.

Then there was Fairy Chasm. A brief drive northward on Lake Drive today will take you through Shorewood into Whitefish Bay, past Fox Point and then into Bayside. There, you can find the Audubon Schlitz Nature Conservancy and Fairy Chasm Drive; an area of great natural beauty along the lake, and a much-needed home for wildlife. Lorrie Otto had heard plans to develop the 20-acre woodland known as Fairy Chasm and she fought for 10 years to protect the land. Eventually, she succeeded and the area became sacrosanct – under Nature Conservancy protection. Lorrie’s persistence did not go unnoticed. In 1977, a group of nine women were inspired by an Otto lecture to form Wild Ones, a natural landscaping organization that has grown to include chapters throughout the country. Lorrie provided guidance and leadership for the group throughout her life. While Lorrie’s final years were spent on the west coast with her daughter, she left a rich legacy behind in Wisconsin. Lorrie influenced the re-establishment of native roadsides and the planting of gardens at local schools. Her work to control nonnative, invasive plants has helped restore landscapes to their native beauty. Lorrie Otto was inducted into the Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame in 1999, and the natural yards at Schlitz Audubon Nature Conservancy carry her name today. But perhaps of all her legacies, Lorrie would most appreciate the numerous yards in and around her old neighborhood that have been allowed to turn to native seed, living on as prairie — not golf courses. Friends of Lorrie will be holding the Lorrie Otto Memorial Celebration on Aug. 22 at Schlitz Audubon Nature Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from 2 - 4 p.m.

Pantry raid! S Stephanie Bartz photo

Oh, nuts! Tiny but potent, nuts just may be nature’s perfect food.

ome smarty-pants once said that good things come in small packages. Now, they were most likely talking about diamonds or the keys to a new car, and while we wouldn’t turn our noses up at either of these unlikely gifts, we’re practical-minded gals. Present us with a home-cooked meal and a cold bottle of beer when we walk in the door and we’re blushing like the schoolgirls we once were. Wanna bring tears to our eyes? Whip up a dish that’s not only full of love and deliciousness but also more nutritional content than you can shake a daikon radish at. What does this have to do with stuff in small packages? We’re talking nuts people – almonds, walnuts, pecans, Brazil, Macadamia (and yeah, we fully realize that almonds are fruits and Brazil nuts are seeds but technicalities are not our forté). Nuts and seeds are magical little packages that nature has put together – everything a living plant, tree, flower or bush needs to grow and flourish. And lucky for us humans, many of these components are exactly what we need to do the same. Nuts are endowed with highly available protein (meaning our bodies can easily use it) and pound for pound have as much or more protein than meat or milk; two common sources in our Western diets. Essential fatty acids are also abundant in nuts, helping our bodies transport oxygen, build and repair cells and absorb calcium and vitamin D. And of course lots of other great stuff we’re always going on about … phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and potassium to name a few. There’s also a sizable amount of research that credits nuts with reducing the risk of heart disease. Really, it’s quite amazing what they cram into such a small package!

With just a little planning, quick and thrifty meals will be falling from your pantries, too. Diana Sieger, Outpost’s visual merchandising manager, is a recovering food snob who is always anticipating her next meal. She thinks a good pantry should feel like a shopping trip in your own house! Carrie Rowe, Outpost’s merchandising and promotions assistant, wishes there was organic kibble for people. If it’s simple, healthy, packed with nutrition and comes in a bowl, she’ll eat it.

July 2010

There’s always at least three or four jars in our pantries filled with nuts and we’re prone to tossing back handfuls as an energy-packed snack, sprinkling them on our oatmeal or sweet potatoes and tossing them in homemade granola. We’ve played around with making our own almond milk (pretty darn delicious if we do say so) and of course, a healthy dollop of almond butter on a crisp, tart apple slice is just about the perfect start to a busy day. But we wanted to have some more fun and see what else we could do to incorporate nuts into mealtimes, especially since not everyone may enjoy eating as we do – like a couple of raccoons.

Macadamia nut crusted shrimp with green apple and coconut slaw This dish can easily and deliciously be made with chicken breasts, your fish of choice (catfish or tilapia sounds pretty good to us) or even tofu (we’d cut 1/2 inch slices off the block, making square tofu patties). Because it’s July and we want to spend as little time in front of the stove top as possible, butterflied shrimp is our choice. Serves four

For slaw: 3/4 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut (be sure to get the packaged shredded stuff that’s very moist) 1 pound (3-4 medium) Granny Smith apples, halved and cored 1 small red bell pepper, julienned 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and finely ground (can use pre-ground cumin) 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional) 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 tablespoon olive oil Salt and pepper to taste For shrimp: 1 pound uncooked shrimp (about 12 large) 2 cups Macadamia nuts, lightly toasted 2 tablespoons flour 2 tablespoons butter or ghee (clarified butter) 1 tablespoon olive oil Salt and pepper to taste To make the slaw: 1. Shred apples and combine with shredded coconut and red pepper in a large bowl. 2. Add cumin, lemon juice, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well. To make the shrimp: 1. Shell, then butterfly the shrimp by making a deep cut on the top from head to tail; remove the vein. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. 2. Grind nuts and flour in a blender or food processor until roughly minced. Coat shrimp with nut mix. 3. Heat a heavy skillet on low heat. Add butter and oil; heat and combine. Turn up the heat to medium-low. Sear shrimp, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through. (Watch your temperature so the nuts don’t burn). 4. Serve the shrimp over the coconut slaw www.exchange.typepad.com

Grilled salmon with pistachio basil butter We like taking the heat outside with our favorite fish, salmon. To maximize your grilling efforts, we suggest serving this with grilled vegetables. Toss an assortment of chopped veggies (we love eggplant, peppers, zucchini and onions) with olive oil and sea salt and throw in a grill basket alongside the salmon. Toss with tongs periodically, they’ll be done when the fish is done. We looove our grill baskets (nearly as much as our Crock pots) but if you don’t have one, skewering the vegetables makes for easy grilling, too. Serves four

10-12 fresh basil leaves 1/4 cup toasted pistachio nuts, roughly chopped or smashed 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 clove garlic, minced 3 tablespoons butter, melted Dash salt Dash pepper 4 6-ounce salmon fillets (with skin on) 1-inch thick 1 tablespoon olive oil Salt and pepper

handful of store-bought trail mix, but it’s totally worth it. Makes eight healthy servings

2 tablespoons curry powder 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 egg whites, at room temperature 1 1/2 cups salted roasted cashews 2/3 cup salted roasted almonds 1 cup shelled sunflower seeds 1/4 cup sesame seeds 1 cup dried fruit — we’ve had great results with cranberries, raisins, diced apricots and figs Vegetable oil for coating baking dish

The joy of food M

y parents have been daily subscribers to the paper for as long as I can recall. For my mother, the highlight of this subscription seemed to be the Wednesday Food section. After dinner, my mother would remove the Food section from the paper and place it on the kitchen table along with scissors, a pad of paper, and a pen. She would spend an hour or two scanning the ads, clipping coupons and marking weekly specials beneath her underlined store headings. Based on her scrutiny, she would map out her shopping destinations and plan her likely purchases. Having observed her routine, I was well versed in the Wednesday ritual by the time I had young children of my own. I, too, scanned the paper, using it to select food for my family, to stock up on specials and to create a menu game plan.

THINKING ABOUT FOOD FROM A SLOW FOOD PERSPECTIVE Lori Horbas, grant writer, speaker and essayist, gives voice to the backstory of food and its producers. She creates a portrait of both personality and place and conveys a new level of respect, perspective, humility and integrity toward our food. Contact Lori at joyoffood@gmail.com.

My friend Denise had her own unique shopping ritual. Home centered with two sets of twins (yes, two!) she somehow found time to clip coupons, shop on double coupon days, and send in rebate offers on an almost daily basis. It was her way of not only purchasing food for her family, but also of earning almost as much money as she could have made with a part-time job. Denise had reserved a section in her basement for a filing cabinet, which was filled with coupons and rebate forms. On the floor were several Rubbermaid storage boxes stuffed with various types of packaging. She used her organizational skills to arrange UPC codes, lids, labels and entire bags and boxes alphabetically, by product name. She saved everything (even receipts) just in case she needed something for the next offer. She even kept a log of her cost and returns on products, and often shared it with pride. For her, the thrill of the game was in the numbers.* Though somewhat envious of her returns, I never got into that particular numbers game. In fact, at some point, it seemed as if life got too busy for me to even spend Wednesdays planning at the table. Or maybe it wasn’t that it got busier, but that too many times, I would end up in the grocery store, with a limited amount of time available between dropping off and picking up my kids from their activities, only to find I had left my list and coupons on the kitchen table. On those occasions, instead of shopping from my paper plan and coupon bundle, I

July 2010

would limit my purchases to fresh food. I would buy only fruit, vegetables, dairy products and meat —food that never comes with coupons. Frequently, I would plan to return for the other items —the ones I had coupons for — and sometimes I did. But more often than not, I realized we were eating fine without them; we were eating better, actually. Who are we shopping for, anyway? Eventually, I developed the awareness that shopping based on the Wednesday paper had little to do with food. This way of shopping, I realized, supported a vision of food designed by industrial food conglomerates. Shopping like this surrenders the decision of what to eat, and places it in the hands of a heavily advertised and industrialized food system. Somewhere along the way, I realized I was dependent on this system. I started to look critically at this system. I realized the coupons and specials offered in the paper were for products that typically had year-round availability, whether they were in season here or not. I also realized that most specials weren’t fresh. In fact, most did not come from a particular locale or region, they were anonymous ingredients combined in overdone packages that often carried labels espousing health claims based on trendy research. The very fact that these foods were screaming convenience, efficiency and (most telling) cheapness, should have been reason enough for me to run the other way, but I stayed in this place for a long time. How many of us have fed ourselves, or our families, from plans and methods such as these? We have all felt the pinch of rising food costs, and in response tried to shop smarter in order to stretch our food dollar. If we are honest, we may have to admit that many of us have been eating a diet that has been largely shaped and guided by outside forces, one that is comprised of less than real food, and one that is out of touch with what is best for us, and best for the planet. Knowing the true cost and value of food Of course, when summer arrives, it is easy to forget this. It is easy to celebrate the bounty that surrounds us. From asparagus in spring to boatloads of zucchini by summer’s end, we are fixated on color and freshness that snaps like a fresh pea off the vine. Perhaps the shortness of the season is why we go gaga over it. We know the short days of summer will meld into

www.exchange.typepad.com

fall and eventually give way to a stark silver-plated winter, when many will again return to the paper’s Wednesday Food section. But does it have to be that way? What if you thought about January in June and planted a little garden, a few herbs on the windowsill, maybe thyme or parsley, or a couple of tomatoes in a large pot? Dabbling with whatever size garden works for you is not a trivial thing. Growing your own food connects you to the earth, and everyone can do it on some scale. But if you find yourself in July with no garden planted, and the motivation lags, what do you do? Get to know your local farmer’s market, or a natural foods co-op that makes it a priority to purchase from local, sustainable, and organic farmers. Through them and their offerings, you will begin to familiarize yourself with your surroundings in ways you never could have imagined. Talk to a farmer, and you begin to recognize the effects of a 20-minute hail storm; the ensuing loss of an entire pear orchard. You will give thought to the fast rain that turned into a flash flood due to the earth’s inability to absorb the water, and the early spinach and lettuce crops drowning beneath. Yes, you see the beauty of what is available, but you also begin to associate a value to the hardships and effort that growing food involves. Instead of looking for the deal — the special — you see the constant demand real food places on its growers; the weighted effort, intense labor, and inevitable disappointments along the way. You begin to learn that not everything is available all the time, and perhaps more importantly, you learn that not everything should be available all the time. You begin to understand the true cost and value of real food. How to keep it local and fresh yearround And it is this understanding that can inspire you to make a commitment to eat as locally as possible throughout the year. On the flip side, it can also leave you pondering exactly how to eat locally yearround, which is exactly what happened to me three years ago. As my garden grew and produced food, and my Community Supported Agriculture program (CSA) delivered weekly boxes of produce, I real-

www.exchange.typepad.com

ized I was deciding what to eat based on what was likely to spoil first. Unable to keep up with the abundance of food at its peak (trust me I tried!), I decided to learn the art of preserving. Food preservation methods are an invaluable tool for establishing a local kitchen year-round. Though there are many preservation techniques to choose from, all are designed to stop the growth of microorganisms found on foods, such as bacteria, yeast and molds. Luckily, these microorganisms are all affected by heat, oxygen, moisture and acid content. I learned — by trial and error and from some good advice from those in the know — how to freeze properly and how to can in a boiling water bath. Other preservation methods include: drying/dehydration, pressure canning, pickling and fermentation, jams and jellies, even smoking and curing. Root cellaring is another good option for winter, if only you have a cellar. Learning any of these preservation methods involves some effort and skill to ensure safety, but involving others to help can lighten the load and the whole venture can be enormously fun and satisfying.

In celebration of dirt-stained hands When spring arrives, I will have spent another year developing a local food shed. Another year of developing a deeper awareness of how food is produced, of looking at the land it grows on, of noticing how it grows, of paying attention to how and when it is harvested and by whom, of calculating the routes it travels, and noticing the markets it goes through. Another year discerning for myself the food system I want to support with my money. I realize what I value. And what I have found is that it is not the Wednesday paper’s food shed I want to support. Rather, it is the tactile one in which I celebrate dirt-stained hands. Hands that offer me a flavor-packed tomato. Hands that have not tried to dominate nature, but have worked with it, hands that have been gifted with what nature provides. And, though I am no longer searching for food in the paper, I am using it to search the ads for a gently used pressure canner. * As an aside: My friend Denise became a Certified Public Accountant and moved to Colorado where she hunts wild game. She no longer sends in rebates.

If this sounds like too much of a learning curve, there is a simpler way: just cook. Cook regularly with your local ingredients, cook more than you need and freeze it for a quick “heat and eat” meal later. One of my personal favorites is stuffed bell peppers, which not only uses peppers, but tomatoes, basil, oregano, onion, garlic and corn — all local ingredients. One waft of hot steam after heating a bowl of this on a cold winter night brings me right back to the height of summer. If summer slips away from you and you find yourself adrift in winter, watch for the Milwaukee area Winter Farmer’s Market, sponsored by the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association. There, I can attest, you will find local apples, cheese, cured meats, fresh meats, and jams alongside fresh and preserved produce. By the time that market ends in April, I will have again reserved my spot in two Wisconsin CSAs; Rare Earth Farms in Belgium and Future Fruit Farms in Ridgeway. I will also have begun planning my gardens, always looking for ways to expand them.

YOUR CO-OP! Outpost Natural Foods Cooperative • July

GM’s Report

Know Where Your Food Comes From

t’s been eight weeks now (at the writing of this article) since I began preparing and cooking the majority of my meals from scratch. Perhaps you haven’t heard I was doing that? I’m hoping you’re interested and will come and visit my blog (www.outpost. coop/inconvenience) to find out more about my food adventure Cooking everything from scratch has given me a much wider perspective on the time, resources and energy it takes to process food from the ground into a meal on my table. It’s also given me a much better connection to where my food comes from. For example, under my own rules I can’t open a can of tomato sauce to use in a recipe – I must first create a tomato sauce using fresh tomatoes. One would think I was already knowledgeable about the basics of food working in the natural foods industry as long as I have. But I’m a busy working person like many of you and so much of what we eat today, even natural foods, we eat primarily out of convenience. Canned tomatoes, breakfast cereals, salad dressings, crackers, tortilla chips, frozen pizza, fruit-flavored yogurt, and store-bought bread are all conveniently available to us at Outpost at any time.

to America’s industrialized food system and its ill effects on our food, the environment, the economy, and the workers. It’s a mustsee - please watch this movie! The truth is too many people are far too removed from where their food actually comes from. Fortunately, as a society we have a growing number of people who have a growing interest in learning more and having a direct connection to the source of their food. The popularity of farmer’s markets, for example, has had more than a positive impact on what I’d love to believe is part of a new economy. What that means for Outpost is that we have a greater access to farmers and vendors who want to deal directly with stores like ours. That means we can grow our selection of local products at a much greater pace than in any other year in Outpost’s recent history. That’s a benefit to you our owners and shoppers, and a benefit to our local economy because we’re sourcing more products closer to home.

One of the more compelling reasons for me to take a year of my life and cook most everything from scratch, was inspired by author Michael Pollan. He noted in a piece titled “Out Of The Kitchen, Onto The Couch” that “The path to a diet of fresher, At the same time I’ve been on this food unprocessed food, not to mention a revitaladventure (actually it’s been since Januized local food economy, passes straight ary) Outpost has been growing steadily in through the home kitchen.” The article new owners, new shoppers, and as a result Pam enjoys a homemade pretzel. went on to point out that today, 80% of the – experiencing steady sales increases. We cost of food eaten at home goes to someare currently at 14,750 owners, the greatest one other than a farmer. I believe that statistic is true because we number in our co-op’s forty-year history. Sales are growing at all as Americans primarily eat from a convenience food diet. For me, three Outpost locations and we are currently running profitably at that was not just stunning – it was compelling – and it gave me a all of our locations with only one quarter of the fiscal year remainbetter reason to reconnect with food all the way down to basic ing. That’s quite a bit of good news coming when compared to just ingredients. a few short years ago. Our employees tell us that a lot of the new owners and shoppers have come to discover what Outpost has to offer after learning more about our problematic food system from movies like “Food Inc.” and “Fresh – the Movie.” Food Inc. in particular is an Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature so it has received a lot of good exposure. The movie puts the food giants, even the natural food giants, under a microscope of scrutiny where it comes

So take some time this summer and visit a farmer’s market. Expand your food knowledge and take in one of the free movies Outpost will be showing at the Times Theater (see page 23 for details) Or better yet, cook a few more meals from scratch using fresh local ingredients you can get at your favorite Outpost! Pam Mehnert, general manager

All Outpost locations will be open Sunday, July 4th 7 am – 5 pm for your shopping convenience! www.outpost.coop

Liederkranz is in the House! Chalet Cheese Co-op Monroe, Wisconsin The cheese my grandmother wished my grandfather didn’t adore has found a new generation of fans. Liederkranz (pronounced LEE-duhr-krahntz) is an odoriferous – okay, smells like stinky feet - washed rind cow’s milk cheese that had been much-loved by the German immigrants of Wisconsin for decades before the singular Liederkranz-maker closed the book on the adored cheese in the late 1980s. In March of this year, Chalet Cheese Co-op in Monroe, Wisconsin dusted off the old recipe and set out to rekindle the gone-but-not-forgotten relationship between Wisconsinites and smelly cheese. It stirs up memories of my grandfather, who used to eat this cheese with a big slice of raw onion – much to my grandmother’s chagrin! She said it stunk up the whole neighborhood. With a huge grin on his face, he would agree while chasing her ‘round the house “threatening” to kiss her with his stinky Liederkranz breath. Great memories and an even greater cheese similar to Limburger but with a far milder taste and aroma. Try a slice of history today! -Michelle Danielson, Outpost Cheese Coordinator 6 oz. foil-wrapped block

Hike Your Way to Health Smart Snacking Gone are the days of tasteless, colorless one-size-fits-all trail and snack bars. Outpost carries a variety of tasty energy bars that you can easily tuck in your pack. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, here are a few things to look for.

he easiest way to get some exercise is to just start walking. It doesn’t take any special equipment and most of us already know how to do it. The biggest hiking payback is good heart health. Nearly a million Americans died in 2009 due to heart disease. That’s 40% of the total deaths for the year. Most of them could have been prevented, or at least postponed, by the simple act of getting some exercise. Studies show that you can reduce the risk of heart disease by 60% just by getting two hours of exercise a week! Hiking also boosts your brainpower and sense of wellbeing. There is something therapeutic about being outdoors in the presence of nature to remove stress and clear your thoughts. Hiking trails have a way of drawing you onward; there is always the desire to see what is over the next rise or around the bend. Hiking is a fairly safe activity – but best to follow a few guidelines. • First things first. Check with your healthcare provider before you engage in strenuous exercise. • Choose the proper footwear. Your local independent shoe outfitter or outdoor-gear retailer will work with you one-on-one to ensure you have what you need.

• 25-40 grams of carbohydrates • Less than 15 grams of protein – Protein is not a crucial fuel source during exercise • Not too much fat – less than 9 or 10 grams because fat slows digestion and isn’t a helpful fuel during exercise • No more than 3-4 grams of fiber • Under 250 calories per bar Lara Bars – Pure and simple and contain only 5 to 8 ingredients – good wholesome food Clif Bars – These bars have been around forever – now we know why! Z Bar – Clif Bars for kids! Luna Bars – Lots of flavors and only 180 calories or less per bar Nature’s Path Chewy Granola Bars and Kashi Granola Bars – It’s granola for goodness sake! Chunks of Energy – Cranberry Orange and Mocha Chip chunks of goodness. They’re located in Outpost bulk bins. Two chunks are a serving! Outside of energy bars think about taking whole food along on your hike. Make your own trail mix, peanut butter packets and crackers and fresh fruit, dried fruit and nuts.

Skip the expensive sports drinks made with weird artificial colors and try this recipe for a homemade version instead.

• Wear appropriate clothing. When trying on a boot or shoe, be sure you’re wearing the same thickness of socks you’ll be wearing when you’re hiking. Moisture wicking socks will draw sweat away from your feet. Double layered socks can help to prevent blisters. Look for the right weight of shirts and pants along with a rain jacket just in case. Layering with many light layers is better than wearing one big heavy sweatshirt. You can peel off layers and stow them as you warm up.

Homemade Sports Drink

• You’ll need to stay hydrated to keep up a good pace, especially in warm, humid conditions. A water bottle or a water carrying backpack are necessities. High-energy snacks such as energy bars, trail mix and dried fruit are needed if you’re taking a longer jaunt.

1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4

• Sunscreen is a must, even on an overcast day. Choose a natural sunscreen with an SPF30 rating or better. Don’t forget your lips and ears. Biting insects can ruin the best hikes so be sure to arm yourself with natural bug repellents and bug fighting soaps that contain essential oils that are sweet smelling to you but stinky to bugs. Lastly, wear sunglasses with UV protection. • If you’re taking a daypack to carry your supplies, travel light. Extra weight will make the trek much more difficult. Pack a flashlight and a simple first-aid kit for minor injuries or blisters.

The nutritional profile of commercial sports drinks is 50 to 70 calories per 8 ounces, with about 110mg sodium. Below is a simple recipe that offers this profile, but at a much lower cost than the expensive store-bought brands. You can make it without the lemon juice, but the flavor will be weaker. Makes 1 quart

cup sugar teaspoon salt cup hot water cup orange juice (not concentrate) plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice 3 1/2 cups cold water 1.

Make Your Own Freezer Pops! Ideas for ingredients Whole fruits – berries, grapes, tree fruits, pitted stone fruits, melons, tropicals (mango, papaya, banana, pineapple), exotics (prickly pear fruit, star fruit, pomegranate, acai puree), citrus fruits Canned fruit – Try fruit sauces, jams, jellies, chutneys or preserves Frozen fruit – Frozen fruits are already prepared and ready to be blended Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry – substitute your favorite wherever you see “milk” Juices – a cornucopia of juices and nectars are now available – some may be unsweetened and will require additional sweeteners like honey or agave nectar – some fruits may be better incorporated as juice (like citrus, grape, pineapple) Sparkling beverages – natural sodas and spritzers provide a plethora of flavor blends and extra zing

Tea/coffee – brew up strong teas or coffee – bottled brews are easy to use in a hurry

• Add your frozen pop mixture to about 3/4” below the rim

Spices and natural flavorings - just about any ground spice or fresh herb can add extra flavor – natural flavor extracts like almond or vanilla can add a lively note to your pops

any home goods stores offer ice-pop molds. You can save a little money and be eco-friendly by making your own. Simply wash and save your 6-ounce yogurt containers with their lids and pick up a bag of popsicle sticks from the craft store.

• Place in freezer until semi-frozen • Make a small slot about 1/2” long in the center of the lid • Snap on the lid and insert wooden popsicle stick through the slot in the middle • Place back in the freezer to freeze solid • When frozen, roll the pop container between your palms for about 30 seconds, loosen the rim of the lid and push out the pop by pressing on the bottom of the container. Leave the lid in place as a juice catcher! Keep a journal As you experiment, remember to write down the ingredients you use and the proportions. This can be a fun kid’s activity, too! Add photos, anecdotes, family factoids – whatever you please! We’re sweet on you Some fruits and juices may not taste as sweet frozen as they do fresh, so you may need to sweeten some recipes – try using agave nectar, which is a natural liquid sweetener made from the agave cactus - low on the glycemic index, high on versatility. Honey, rice syrup, maple syrup and granulated sugar works, too.

www.outpost.coop

Grown-up flavors – liquors and other alcoholic beverages can be added for fun party pops – the lower the proof the faster it freezes – otherwise - hooray, you may end up with a fabulous slushie Fruity cubes – freeze fruity beverages in ice-cube trays instead of water for tasty cubes that won’t dilute your cold drink

Try these pop combos or make up your own frozen faves! Cherry Blossoms – Blend together equal parts vanilla almond milk and cherry yogurt – add some fresh sweet Door County cherries to the mix for more fruit Peachy Keen – Blend fresh or frozen peaches, honey or agave nectar, and whole blueberries Dreamier-Sicles - Vanilla yogurt and white grape or orange juice Nanner Nanners – Peanut butter, mashed bananas, a dash of milk and chocolate sauce T-Pops - Brew strong green tea, mix in honey or agave nectar, freeze Find recipes on page 36

“When I really take the time with a customer to customize meat selections to their specific size & taste, they really seem to be surprised & impressed with the attention. “Here’s a favorite product of mine… Our local lamb from Delavan, Wisconsin. Not only does it taste great, it comes from a credible source. I have never been to the farm but I have spoken to the people from there, and it truly seems to be a very clean farm that has very humane practices.”

Introducing Tracy Gamsky from our State Street personal care department! “One way I surprise shoppers is through spontaneous sampling. An owner was shopping for a new eye cream but was leery of spending the money on the product. I offered her a sample. She loved it and the next day she came in and bought it. My favorite local product is Rishi Matcha Green Tea. I put it in my morning protein drink — it gives me energy with antioxidants!”

Introducing Terri Walton from our Bay View receiving department! Terri is one of our behindthe-scenes Stars. She ensures that not only do the right products make it to the right departments and stores, but she acts a resource to other employees. She is always very helpful to everyone, quickly and expertly answering questions all while making sure products get delivered on a timely basis. “Hmmm, my favorite local food would have to be broccoli sprouts – they’re so tasty and very healthy too!”

In an ideal world... …food providers wouldn’t waste food and all of the people in our community would have enough to eat.

he Campus Kitchen at Marquette began in 2003 as a program of the Campus Kitchens Project (CKP). CKP is a student-powered, hunger relief organization located on the campuses of 26 high schools, colleges and universities throughout the United States. CKP partners with schools to share on-campus kitchen space, recover unused food from cafeterias and engage students in preparing and delivering meals to those in need. The Campus Kitchen at Marquette was created to help feed hungry youth, adults, seniors and families living throughout Milwaukee. Why is it important that schools get involved in the anti-hunger movement? It is important to get students engaged in their communities and to raise awareness of issues that are affecting the lives of people beyond the campus borders. Especially on a university campus, it is easy for students to become isolated from the neighboring community. At CKMU, we help students take an active leading role in fighting hunger. When students see the impact of their service, they are more likely to continue serving their communities after graduation.

Amanda Parrell, Coordinator, Campus Kitchen at Marquette

What are some projects or events that The Campus Kitchen at Marquette is currently working on? The Campus Kitchen at Marquette’s primary ongoing projects are food recovery (on and off campus) and meal delivery service. Additionally, in fall we will renew our Culinary Job Training program, a 12-week job training and food safety certification for low-income individuals interested in entering the culinary field. What has been your most rewarding experience while you’ve been a part of The Campus Kitchen at Marquette? As coordinator, my most rewarding experience is seeing the growth of the students with whom I work. It is great to watch their growth in leadership and confidence in and out of the kitchen. As a servant of the community, my most rewarding experience has been the smiles of pure and unadulterated gratitude when the students and I deliver food. If you could have three wishes, they would be A mini laptop would help us go paperless (CKMU is working towards a greener operation), allow us to keep better, more accessible records of the

If you are interested in donating food (or showing off your skills in the kitchen) please contact us via phone (414-288-0342) or email (ckmu@campuskitchens.org) Please finish the sentence: “In an ideal world…”

In addition to Outpost’s $1000 donation, we encourage you to drop a dollar in conveniently located donation jars or round up your total at the cash register for The Campus Kitchen at Marquette on Wednesdays in July.

Happy Independents Day! (and no, that’s not a typo) By Liz Setterfield

t’s July, and that means we fly the red, white and blue. We decorate our kids’ bicycles and watch them ride them at the back of the Fourth of July parade. We honor our patriotism, our heritage and our inheritance. We celebrate the larger community that is the United States of America. Cue picnics, cue flags, cue fireworks. But here at the Exchange, we want to celebrate our closer community, too – Milwaukee — and the independent businesses that bring so much to our city in the way of products, jobs, and culture. We’re calling it a “Milwaukee Independents” celebration. We all benefit from a vibrant local business base; for every dollar that is spent at a locally owned business, more than 68 cents remains in the local economy. Spend that dollar at a national chain store, and Milwaukee only keeps about 43 cents. We think the best way to celebrate our local, independent businesses is to support them. So for every oft-purchased national product or service we could think of, we came up with a local alternative. The national brand is awarded a banana (there’s no local banana if you live in Wisconsin), and the local brand is awarded a wedge of cheese (’nuff said). Happy Independents Day!

FOOD & DRINK Spices

Banana:

McCormick. Based in Sparks, Md. – a suburb north of Baltimore. While word has it that Baltimore is an up-and-coming town, it’s not our town. Wedge of cheese: Penzey’s: Ruth and Bill Penzey, Sr. started this marvelous company in 1957 in Milwaukee. Their son, Bill, Jr. helped out in the family store as a kid, and went on to launch the mail-order wing of the company in 1986. He did not take out bank loans and reportedly lived on about $10,000 per year while the catalog grew. And grow it did. Fast forward to 2005, and Penzey’s was reaching revenue of $22 million, operating 27 retail stores in 18 states. Penzey’s remains a private company, owns a 300,000 sq ft warehouse in Wauwatosa, and employs 250 employees. But don’t just go to Penzey’s because they’re

about a locally owned natural foods cooperative that began in 1970s Milwaukee? You know the one… Outpost! By the way, when we say locally owned, we take that to another level, because many of our customers are owners.

If you like your spice with an Indian flair, try Indian Groceries & Spices on North Avenue in Wauwatosa – an unassuming gem of a store. You may have trouble finding it – it’s directly south of Mayfair Mall. Here’s the website to guide you: www.ishopindian.com

We also like to give a nod to our friends at Beans & Barley on the east side, because they are deli-operators and grocers after our own hearts. If you’re on North Ave., this is the place to go for local, organic, vegan and yummy.

We all scream for ice cream!

Baskin Robbins. Yes, Baskin Robbins is a family affair, started by two brothers in 1945 California. But here’s the rub: California. Not Wisconsin, natch.

Wedge of Cheese We’re the dairy state, take your pick! Out of Madison: Schoep’s, Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream. In Milwaukee: Kopp’s and Cold Spoons Gelato

Twinings. Excellent tea! Twinings originates in England, the land that made tea famous. But their stateside operations dwell in Clifton, New Jersey, so we have to say cheerio to all that if we want to support local. Wedge of cheese

Wedge of cheese, please Alterra. Well, we all love Alterra. I met my husband at the Alterra Pump House, so they get an extra slice of cheddar from me. Stone Creek Coffee. Anodyne. We love the Bay View location because they embrace families with young children. Thank you for that! Parents need coffee like plants need water. Sven’s. Another Bay View staple. Banana

hat do summer evenings sound like in your neighborhood parks and backyards? Erase for a moment the people gathering and celebrating as the radiation of the sun dissipates at dusk. Have you experienced any solitude on one of these evenings? If so, have you noticed that there are distinct and rhythmic sizzles, buzzes and songs that characterize the hot, muggy dog days of summer? Maybe you notice them because you’re thinking, “What in the world would want to work so hard to make such a racket in this oppressive heat?” Or maybe you’re thinking, “Sure is nice to hear sounds of summer, after a long Wisconsin winter!” Perhaps you haven’t noticed these sounds at all. No matter what your experience has been, I invite you to indulge yourself in a musical treat this summer, maybe with a few sips of iced tea. I will help unravel the mystery of these noises. At dusk there are still some birds singing, like chimney swifts and gulls, but most birds take center stage in the mornings. The evening show is performed primarily by smaller creatures, our six-legged friends, and occasionally punctuated by the larger species of frog. To get started, we will focus on the amazing world of insects. The word used to describe the singing of insects is “stridulation.” In your mind’s eye, imagine a violin. The bow is the insect’s scraper, the strings are the file and the violin’s body is the insect’s wings. Scrapers are found on cricket and katydid wings, close to where the wings attach to the body, and look like a sharp edge. Files have bumpy ridged edges and look like files we use as tools on wood, metal or nails to smooth rough edges. Elevated wings amplify the sounds of the vibrations produced by the scraper and file in the same way that the body of the violin amplifies vibrations produced by rubbing or plucking the strings. Some grasshoppers have files on their legs that they rub against the edge of a wing.

Wildlife sightings

The overture starts just before sunset. As you walk along a field, your movement stirs up a large grasshopper. It makes a “tchkkk tchkkk” rattling sound that might lead you to think it was a touch annoyed at being disturbed. This is called “crepitation,” which can be likened to the sound made when a hand-held fan (think Japanese dance fan) is snapped shut. Folded much like the paper fans we made as kids, the grasshopper’s colorful hind wings will open and slap together to make a rather startling sound.

As the sun sets, a new duple, then triple, then duple again rhythm is audible. Able to create a resonance chamber by arching its front wings, the katydid can drown out other insects with this loud, scratchy song. When a katydid chorus is in full voice, the sound can be almost deafening. Katydids choose the tops of trees to broadcast their songs, which means that it is fairly unusual to actually see one of these little insects. Even if you could see a katydid, you would need to look very closely for the wings, as they look just like leaves. Your ears will serve better than your eyes to appreciate this insect. One way to remember who makes this sound is to match the pattern of the syllables in “katydid” with the song: “katy ... katydid ... katy ... .” A somewhat distant relative of the katydid, the snowy tree cricket can tell you how warm or cold it is outside with its gentle trill-like chirp! Snowy tree crickets are cold-blooded creatures, and their single, evenly-spaced chirps change in pitch and frequency according to the temperature. If you hear this cricket, you can count the number of chirps emitted within thirteen seconds, then add 40 to that number to get degrees in Fahrenheit. You’ll get a pretty reliable estimate! The male cicada of the species, called the “dog-day cicada,” carries a different kind of instrument, called “tymbals.” Located along the cicada’s abdomen, the tymbals are played when the male contracts his abdominal muscles, producing a sound that is amplified by an air sac inside the abdomen. This mechanism produces a louder sound than most insects can deliver, piercing the thick humid air of summer. This song reminds me of the sound of an electric shaver. It starts softly, reaches a loud mechanical whine, then tapers off, lasting about 15 seconds. The dog-day cicada is named for its peak singing season, which not only is during the most oppressively hot days of summer, but also when the constellation Canis Major (big dog) is high in the evening sky. Unlike the periodical cicada that lives underground for 17 years as a nymph and then emerges as one large brood of adults, the dog-day cicada has a two to five year life cycle. Different dog-day cicada broods emerge each year, adding their buzz to nature’s evening concerts every summer. There are many other insects that make sounds in July and August, but I’d like to shift attention to the four-legged amphibious creatures, which are easier to distinguish. Most frogs sing early in the season, starting in March

www.exchange.typepad.com

and April here in Wisconsin. The two species common to southeastern Wisconsin that sing into July are the green frog and the bullfrog. While the songs of these two species are very different from each other, they are often confused. The green frog offers a song that sounds like a loud “twang!” This can be imitated by wrapping a large rubber band around a small box (like a cigar box) so that the band is gently taut. By plucking the band, you can create a fairly good green frog sound. The bullfrog, on the other hand, sounds like a deep bellowing foghorn. Both of these songs are easy to distinguish from insect sounds and provide a well-rounded balance to the summer concertos.

second child, $4 per child needing childcare during the program.

So enjoy a magnificent concert provided free of charge at your local parks, ponds and yards. You are sure to be delighted by the amazing performance put on by these creatures and likely to find relaxation and fun as well. Happy dog days of summer!

Headquartered in Waterloo, Wis., this fine bicycle manufacturer understands what makes the world go round … and it’s not just money. Trek employees who ride to work are provided with a special room to store their bike, as well as a changing locker. Those who pedal more than 12 miles to their cubicle receive breakfast or lunch on the house. Also, Trek was the first manufacturer in Wisconsin to switch entirely to renewable electric power.

TIRED OF FEELING TIRED? Stop living with chronic pain, depression or low energy. Transform your life!

Body Memory Recall Body Memory refers to the stress of past experiences that are stored in the body. Your body converts the physical sensations, emotions and perceptions of an experience into various forms of energy. When you feel overwhelmed physically or emotionally, a protective mechanism is triggered that stores the energy in your body until a later date when you are able and willing to release it. It has been estimated that up to 90% of a person’s energy is used to store stress that has accumulated over a lifetime. BMR is an innovative form of therapeutic bodywork that supports the natural healing process of releasing body memory. visit our website for details

Baloney on wry T Stephanie Bartz photo

Going Fourth Independence Day on the farm was a true family festival

his year, as we have for almost all of our years in Milwaukee, Jay and I will break out the grill and call our friends to come over for a backyard picnic. We used to venture out, but after a particularly trying Fourth, during which we were caught in post-party lakefront traffic for almost three hours, we decided that home is where we belong on Independence Day. When I was a kid, July Fourth was in stiff competition with Christmas as my favorite holiday of the year. Initially, this may well have been because my grandfather implied that all the fireworks, parades and family picnics were in honor of my July 2 birthday. Despite the cruel truth being imparted to me at age six by my heartless eight-year-old cousin, I have always embraced the holiday with joy. It is still, after all, a birthday party, albeit for the entire nation instead of just me. For farming families like ours, July Fourth was a day of relief from the daily routine, a chance to take a breather from the morning-todusk routine of field work. On the Fourth, the milking was done earlier than usual, the cows fed and let out to pasture, and the rest of the day was a social affair.

KEEN INSIGHTS & OBSERVATIONS ABOUT MODERN LIFE – WITH A BIT OF AN EDGE. Kathi shares her life with an understanding husband, enough companion species to fill a small municipal zoo, and you, the lucky readers of this kgardn@yahoo.com

July 2010

Unfortunately, my cousins were all boys — a foreign species I had little use for — so while they would play ball or head down to the creek to see if they could catch a hapless turtle or two, I hung out with the women. Adult conversation can be fascinating, especially if the adults are unaware that you are in the vicinity, and I learned a lot more from the aunts and grownup girl cousins than my mother cared for. Eventually, though, I would tire of the chitchat and go off to find my great-grandfather, “Grandpa Lindsey.”

By the time I went looking for him, Grandpa Lindsey was usually ready for some assistance with his other responsibilities. His famous homemade root beer was already brewed, but everyone who was old enough was expected to take a turn at cranking the handle of the old ice cream maker. It wasn’t as though we couldn’t have purchased a gallon of ice cream, but Grandpa Lindsey’s homemade peach ice cream was as much a part of the celebration as the old 48-star flag waving above us, or the Pledge of Allegiance in which he led us, hands over hearts, before we sat down to dinner. And oh, the food! Fresh buttered green beans from the garden, my Aunt Kate’s Boston baked beans fragrant with molasses, German potato salad, cousin Annie’s deviled eggs, watermelon pickles, roast beef, fried chicken, and Aunt Mabel’s orange fluff — a concoction made with gelatin, orange sherbet, vanilla ice cream and mandarin oranges that was to die for. Finally, when everyone sat fanning themselves, unable to move and eyeing each others’ distended bellies, Great-Grandma Lenore would announce with a twinkle in her eye that she “hoped everyone had room for pie and ice cream.” A chorus of groans would issue from around the yard, but by the time the coffee pot was ready, there would be no refusals. Not just content with all-American apple pie, we had strawberry-rhubarb, blueberry, apple, New England custard, and Aunt Fanny’s peanut butter crumble, all served with Grandpa Lindsey’s once-a-year ice cream on the side. It was an unforgettable experience. As the afternoon wore on there would be naps, card games and long, leisurely catchup visits. When it began to get dark, we kids danced around the lawn drawing magic pictures in the air with sparklers. The stars would begin to pop out, and eventually someone would sigh a long, “Welllll. . . ,” the familiar prelude to leave-taking. It was, I think, a fine time to be a child, a time when patriotism was simple; a weathered American flag for remembrance, a bountiful meal and the freedom to rest, surrounded by the love of family.

It was Grandpa Lindsey’s job to remind us all of the reason for the celebration, and he made it his mission to do so, unpacking the

very magazine.

The family picnic was always at our place. We had a huge yard with room for an impromptu softball game and several picnic tables and plenty of beds in our old farmhouse if the babies or adults in the throes of food coma needed a nap. The cousins, aunts, uncles and assorted other guests would start arriving around 11 a.m., toting their own lawn chairs, perhaps a croquet set or a badminton net, and a variety of dishes covered with aluminum foil which would be carried into the house to be stashed in the fridge or set on the already groaning kitchen table.

Simply Health L

ong ago when I worked at Pick n’ Save — yes, I really did work there — a co-worker gave me this wonderful recipe for Texas Baked Beans. The recipe itself has aged and is smudged with food stains. Some of the writing has disappeared and the ingredients are difficult to decipher; the sign of a good recipe.

Stephanie Bartz photo

Just beany Makeover cuts the fat and sodium in summer favorite Texas Baked Beans

Texas Baked Beans is a great recipe for summer barbecues and everyone loves beans. Well, if they don’t, they should! Beans are an incredible source of health benefits. They’re low in fat, high in protein (averaging about 15 grams of protein in one cup), high in fiber, potassium, B vitamins and, surprisingly, calcium. Another reason to love beans? They’re the number one food on the USDA’s list of high antioxidant foods, with red beans being the best! So I decided to take my ole reliable Texas Baked Beans recipe and give it a Simply health makeover. I started with the meat. The original recipe used ground chuck, which has too much fat for my liking. I replaced the ground chuck with ground chicken from Outpost to lower the saturated fat content. If ground beef is more to your liking, use an extra-lean ground beef. Even more troubling than the fat in the original recipe was the sodium. Canned baked beans — along with ketchup — are loaded with sodium. But here’s a valuable tip: Eden brand canned beans don’t use any salt in their processing and are always my bean of choice in any recipe. You can get them at Outpost. I searched the brands of ketchup and found that Organicville has the lowest sodium content, no added sugar and still tastes great, so that’s the one I opted for. I also added more vegetables for natural sweetness instead of using as much brown sugar as the original recipe asked for.

1 pound ground chuck 1/2 cup onion, chopped 1/4 cup green pepper, chopped 2 15-ounce cans baked beans 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 cup ketchup 1/4 cup molasses 1/3 cup brown sugar Per serving: 453 calories, 16g fat, 6g sat fat, 21g protein, 61g carbohydrates, 924mg sodium, 8g fiber

Texas Baked Beans Redux Serves six

1 pound ground chicken 1 large onion, chopped 1 medium green pepper, chopped 1 medium red pepper, chopped 1 medium carrot, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 15-ounce cans Eden navy beans (any variety of bean will do) 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1/2 cup Organicville ketchup 1/3 cup molasses 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 teaspoons chili powder Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Directions are the same for both recipes. Sauté ground chicken in a large frying pan over medium high heat until lightly browned. Drain any fat and set aside in a large bowl. Using same pan over medium-high heat, add onion, red and green pepper, carrot, celery and garlic. Stir fry until almost soft. Add ground meat to mixture and stir to combine. Add remaining ingredients and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot. Per serving: 428 calories, 7g fat, 2g sat fat, 23g protein, 44g carbohydrates, 148mg sodium, 10g fiber If using extra-lean ground beef, the fat content increases to 13g total fat and 5g sat fat. That’s not a lot, but it’s still too much for a heart-healthy diet. Also, this recipe can be made vegetarian by leaving out the meat altogether. Afraid to eat beans? Another reason to use Eden brand beans: the Eden company uses kombu in their processing. Kombu helps to digest raffinose, the carbohydrate some people can’t digest very well, which is what causes flatulence. If you cook your own beans, there are plenty of ways to reduce the gassiness. The American Bean board is a great place to learn more about beans and how to cook them. http://americanbean.org.
