hould we be eating butter? How much coffee is too much? At what time of day should we eat our last meal? It seems like new health findings and solutions emerge every day. But in fact, mom’s traditional, no nonsense advice to cook healthy, fulsome meals from scratch was right all along. >>>
• LU X U RY L IS TE D MAG AZINE
Little changes ADD UP. Rose Reisman, author of The Best of Rose Reisman, knows that small modifications can make a big difference to your health. “Little changes add up, whether it’s making smarter choices in an effort to lose weight or if you’re simply trying to improve your overall health and wellbeing,” she explains. “Parking further away from the entrance of your office, swapping water for soda, or committing to making meals at home using pantry favourites, all have long term benefits.”
To INCREASE the Health Factor in your diet, TRY:
• Serving brown rice as a side dish instead of white rice. Not only is brown rice more flavourful, it’s also high in fibre.
• Swapping oatmeal for your regular breakfast cereal. Oatmeal contains plant sterols and keeps you feeling full longer which means you won’t be reaching for those mid-morning snacks. • Replacing your regular cooking oil with Mazola corn oil. Corn oil contains naturally-occurring plant sterols, which can benefit heart health. • Dressing up your salads with foods containing plant sterols. These include avocado, almonds and chickpeas. Getting the daily recommended 1,500 mg to 3,000 mg of plant sterols in your diet can be achieved through simple updates to your current meals. Experimenting with new ingredients and flavour combinations has never been so fun – and good for you. More delicious recipes by Rose Reisman are available at visit www.makegood.ca. >>>

Butternut Squash Shepherd’s Pie
Fall is when Canadians start looking for hearty comfort food. But dishes that warm the soul don’t have to be the calorie bomb we often expect. Rose Reisman, cookbook author and renowned healthy living advocate, serves up a new take on a family favourite, with only 270 calories and a healthy 25.6g of protein per serving. INGREDIENTS
• • • • • • • • • • • •
1 lb extra-lean Ground Beef 1 1/2 cups finely diced Onion 3/4 cup frozen Edamame 3/4 cup homemade or store-bought Tomato Sauce 3/4 cup finely diced Carrots 1⁄3 cup low-sodium Beef (or Chicken) Stock 2 tsp crushed Garlic 1 1/2 tbsp all-purpose Flour 1 1/2 tbsp Tomato Paste 1 tbsp Mazola Corn Oil 1 tsp Dried Basil Pinch of Salt and Pepper DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9” square baking dish and a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Place a large nonstick skillet, lightly coated with cooking spray, over medium-high heat. Add oil and onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add garlic and carrots and sauté for 3 minutes. Add ground beef and sauté for 5 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Add flour and cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste, stock, tomato sauce, basil, salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low heat for 3 minutes or until thickened. Add edamame and cook for one minute. Place in baking dish. While meat mixture is being prepared, place squash onto baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until just tender. Place in a bowl and mash, adding corn oil, grated parmesan, salt and pepper. Spoon over meat filling, sprinkle with cheese and bake for 5 minutes.

• LU X U RY LI S TE D MAG AZINE
estive gatherings should be fun and heartwarming occasions, but choosing the perfect hostess gift for every party can get to be a headache. The classic bottle of wine, box of chocolates or cute kitchen accessory all spring to mind, but what are some other options? Here are five holiday-themed gift ideas that are simple, thoughtful, suited to a range of tastes and won’t break the bank. >>>
A BOX OF HOLIDAY-THEMED COFFEE
If your hostess owns a Keurig brewing system, treat them to a special box of coffee. The velvety and woodsy Van Houtte Holiday Blend or rich and smooth Timothy’s Christmas Blend, available on keurig.ca, are both medium roast blends in K-Cup pods perfect after a family meal or over breakfast.
MASON JARS
These handy glass containers have a million and one uses: They can double as drinking glasses, flower pots, a place to keep homemade crafts, and of course a jar for your favourite homemade jam. Your hostess will be sure to appreciate this gift that can be reused in a variety of ways.
HIGH QUALITY NUTS
Quality seasoned nuts are a guaranteed crowd pleaser at any party. With a wide variety to choose from like chocolate covered, salted and more, they can be shared with guests on the night or eaten as a snack the next day. It is thoughtful to check ahead for nut allergies. >>>

SPECIALTY OLIVE OIL
A bottle of high quality extra virgin olive oil shows you’ve gone the extra mile to thank your hostess for her hospitality. A gift that’s both classy and refined, olive oil is widely available at international food markets as well as regular supermarkets.
THE GIFT OF RELAXATION AND PAMPERING
Any party requires a lot of planning and preparation, not to mention the cleanup afterwards, so the gift of relaxation will be sure to delight any hostess. This could be as simple as a prepaid manicure or a gift certificate for a cleaning service so she can put her feet up once the guests have gone home. www.newscanada.com
