Lifestyle The Surprising Benefits of Milk 6 things you may not know (Family Features) Ninetysix percent of Americans have milk in their refrigerators, and for good reason – it’s one of the most naturally nutrientrich beverages available. The 20152020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend three daily servings of lowfat or fat free milk or milk products as part of a balanced diet. They also focus on the variety of ways to follow a healthy eating plan to help you enjoy the foods you love while still getting nutrients you need. The good news for whole milk fans is that it has the same nine essential nutrients as lowfat and fat free milk, and a growing body of research suggests there may be benefits to drinking whole milk too. So whether you prefer whole, lowfat or fat free milk, all milk can fit into a nutritious and balanced diet. Here are six things about milk that may surprise you: 1. Whole milk has less fat than you may think. Whole milk is actually 3.25 percent milkfat by weight. Each 8ounce glass of whole milk contains 150 calories and eight grams of fat (12 percent of the recommended daily value). RSGS MAGAZINE| 8
2. Research suggests dairy fat is unique. A growing body of evidence suggests that not all saturated fats are the same and the health effects of saturated fat may vary depending on the food you get it from. While more research is needed on the potential benefits of dairy fats, many experts agree on milk’s important role in a healthy diet – in the overall context of the total diet, nutrients and calories. 3. Milk has a place in a hearthealthy diet. Studies show consuming milk and milk products – regardless of fat content – can be part of a hearthealthy diet, and in some cases may help reduce the risk of heart disease. , Additionally, a recent study found the DASH diet, which is linked to lowering blood pressure and typically rich in fruit, vegetables and lowfat dairy, was as effective at lowering blood pressure when both full fat milk and milk products were included. 4. Milk and a healthy weight. Drinking more reducedfat milk – and getting more milk protein, in particular – is linked to lower body fat and a healthy weight, according to recent research. And while it’s important to pay attention to overall calorie intake, all milk, including whole milk, can fit into a healthy diet. In fact, one study of more than 18,000 healthy weight women, found those who ate more full fat dairy (1.3 servings daily) were less likely to become overweight or obese over about a decade compared to women who didn’t consume any full fat dairy products. 5. Skim milk packs the same nutrientrich punch as all milk. There is a misperception that fat free (or skim) milk contains water or has been “skimmed” of nutrients to reduce the fat content – but that is not the case. The nine essential nutrients, including 8 grams of highquality protein, remain intact. 6. White milk has no added sugar. The fact is regular white milk has no added sugar. The sugar in milk comes from naturally occurring lactose. Skim or fat free milk has less calories and fat than higher fat options, but all white milk has the same amount of naturally occurring sugars, with no sugar added.So, no matter which type of dairy milk you choose, from whole to lowfat, know that you are selecting a safe, wholesome and naturally nutrientrich food. With nine essential nutrients, including highquality protein, milk is actually the top food source for three out of the four nutrients most Americans fall short on – calcium, potassium and vitamin D.

Food Spot
Cook Up a Mother’s Day to Remember (Family Features) Mother’s Day is a time for wining, dining and celebrating moms everywhere. Make this Mother’s Day one to remember by hosting a special brunch gettogether for the special ladies in your life. Although quality time together is the true purpose of the day, you can add some special touches to help create a oneofakind brunch to share old memories while you make new ones. Plan your tablescape. Colorful, fragrant flowers and luxurious linens make your everyday table shine. Use plates in complementing shades and sparkling glassware for an elegant touch. If you have room, add personal touches to the centerpiece, such as mementoes from shared trips or small picture frames with pictures of the two of you through the years. RSGS MAGAZINE| 12
Prepare a sophisticated menu. Give a nod to the importance of the day with dishes that are a step above standard brunch fare. A richly flavored entree such as this Spring Vegetable and Chevre Tart looks elegant but is surprisingly easy to make. For a cohesive spread, remember to give the basics a boost, too, such as a homemade flavored whipped butter. Offer a gift with meaning. To truly elevate the occasion, serve (or gift) your mom with a deliciously meaningful wine, such as Cambria Benchbreak Chardonnay or Pinot Noir from the famed Santa Maria bench in Santa Barbara County. Cambria is a familyowned winery that believes in honoring women across the United States and globally. Each year, the winery gives $100,000 to women making a difference in their communities through their Seeds of Empowerment program. For more recipes and ideas to enhance your celebrations, visit cambriawines.com.

Pinot Noir Rosemary Butter Recipe courtesy of Erin Kennedy of My Thirty Spot Blog 1 cup salted homemade whipped butter (recipe below) 3/4 cup Cambria Benchbreak Pinot Noir 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary Fill shallow saucepan with wine and simmer until consistency becomes syrupy (reducing to about 1/8 cup). Let syrup cool completely. Add syrup and rosemary to whipped butter and mix. Serve chilled. Homemade Whipped Butter 1/2 quart heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon salt (up to 3/4 teaspoon, to taste) In food processor, mix butter until cream turns to consistency of cottage cheese and starts to separate from buttermilk, about 35 minutes of constant mixing. Strain butter from buttermilk. Use wooden spoon to knead butter in water (just like dough) to remove all remaining buttermilk. Drain and repeat until water is clear. Remaining whipped butter is ready to serve or for adding flavoring ingredients .#13160 Source: Jackson Family Wines RSGS MAGAZINE| 14

Home & Garden 7 Places Mosquitoes Might Be Hiding in Your Yard
(Family Features) Spring has sprung, which means that mosquito season is almost here. These tiny insects could be living, flying and breeding right in your yard, and you might not even know it. Mosquitoes aren’t just a nuisance, they are also a health threat. Some species common in the United States can carry and spread Zika virus, Chikungunya virus, West Nile virus and canine heart worm. The first sign of mosquito activity is usually buzzing from female mosquitoes and their bites.
RSGS MAGAZINE| 17
Where Mosquitoes Breed Female mosquitoes can lay as many as 100 eggs at a time. They can lay eggs in just a few inches of standing water, making pinpointing breeding sites a challenge. To help homeowners, Orkin Entomologist Ron Harrison, Ph.D., reveals seven places mosquitoes like the most and offers advice on how to help keep them out of your yard. • Gutters. If enough debris is left to collect over time, dirty gutters can clog up and create pockets of water perfect for mosquito breeding. Cleaning gutters regularly to make sure water is flowing smoothly can help keep mosquitoes from breeding so close to your home. • Toys. They are an often overlooked source of standing water, but toys can collect pockets of water and just a few inches is enough for a mosquito to raise a family. • Flower pots. Rainwater can collect in saucers under flower pots. If left to sit for days, the water becomes an excellent breeding spot for mosquitoes.• Bird baths. Even though birds eat a variety of insects, standing water in bird baths left unchecked for days at a time can become an oasis for female mosquitoes looking for a place to lay eggs. Inspect and change the water weekly to avoid an infestation. • Rain barrels. If water is used within a few days, it will likely not be enough time to create a mosquito problem, but if water is left standing for multiple days, be prepared to find a hotbed of hungry pests. • Plants. Some plants can hold water in their “mouths” and offer mosquitoes enough standing water to lay their eggs. Other shrubbery can serve as a hide out for grown mosquitoes. In addition to blood, mosquitoes feed on nectar from flowers, so they often hide in shrubbery during the day. Thinning dense shrubbery to increase air flow can help reduce the number of adult mosquitoes in your yard. RSGS MAGAZINE| 18
• Tree cavities. Each year, cavities in tree stumps and trunks are filled with water by rainfall or melting ice and snow, and mosquitoes may choose these holes for breeding. While it can be difficult to remove the standing water, a licensed professional can help identify and treat these areas. • Low points in the yard. Any areas lower than the rest of your yard may collect and hold standing water. Make note of these areas when patrolling and be sure to inspect and drain them if necessary. Take Back Your Yard It’s important to do a weekly inspection of your entire yard to locate and eliminate any standing water. It’s also a good idea to encourage your neighbors to do the same so that mosquitoes aren’t traveling from their yard to yours. If you’ve done everything you can to help prevent mosquitoes and are still having problems, you may need a licensed professional. For more details, visit Orkin.com.
