FAVORITE RECIPES

By Village Registered Dietitian, Jamie Miller

Ever wonder what a nutritionist's go-to meals and snacks are? For Village dietitian, Jamie Miller, it surely isn’t just a plate of bland chicken and broccoli or an uninspired snack of nuts and fruit. Jamie’s biggest passion is to teach and inspire individuals to see how delicious and craveable healthy eating can be, and you can see just that with her favorite recipes. From a breakfast favorite that gets her out of bed in the morning, to a quick and convenient lunch, a family favorite dinner, and tasty snacks to fill any cravings, these are Jamie’s favorite recipes to cook up!

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Protein Muffins

• 1/2 baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add in the wet ingredients and mix again until smooth. Divide muffins among muffin pan and bake for 18-20 minutes, or when a toothpick comes out clean.

Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Turn off heat and let the vegetables cool. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and egg whites, then stir in cottage cheese and meat of choice. Add in cooled sauteed veggies. Pour mixture into a greased 9 inch baking dish. Top with shredded cheese. Bake at 350F for 35-45 minutes until your eggs are set and the top is beginning to brown.

Thanksgiving

Village Dietitian Leftover Recipes

Thanksgiving is a day full of good memories with loved ones and good food. While we may sometimes equate the big turkey dinner as the reason our pants begin fitting too tight before December hits, it takes more than just one meal to change any number on the scale. However, if we find ourselves dipping into rich leftovers repeatedly, we may soon find ourselves not feeling our best. How do you enjoy the turkey day leftovers while keeping your health in mind? VIllage dietitian, Jamie Miller, has some tasty recipes to try that use your Thanksgiving leftovers in a way that will nourish your body well and keep things lean and light!

Salad with Cranberry Dijon Vinaigrette

6 oz shredded or cubed leftover turkey

4 cups baby spinach, arugula, or greens of choice

1 cup of cubed roasted sweet potatoes or butternut squash

2 tbsp toasted nuts of choice (pecan, walnuts, pepitas, etc)

2 tbsp goat cheese (or gorgonzola, parmesan, etc)

1/2 cup sliced apple, pear, or grapes

Optional: Cracked pepper to taste

Cranberry Dijon Dressing:

1/3 cup olive oil (or plain yogurt for lower calorie, creamy version

2 tbsp apple cider or red wine vinegar

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup prepared cranberry sauce

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/8 tsp garlic powder

Optional: 1-2 tsp honey, monk fruit, or stevia to sweeten

Optional: 2 tbsp. water to thin

To make the dressing, place all ingredients in a blender and blend until well incorporated. Taste and adjust to preference of salt and sweetness. If you prefer a thinner dressing, add 1/2 tbsp of water at a time til you reach your desired consistency. Set dressing aside. Place all salad ingredients in a bowl and toss with 3 tbsp of the dressing and toss. Taste and add dressing if preferred. Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.

Baked Sweet Potatoes with Cranberries & Turkey

4 medium sweet potatoes (about 10 ounces each)

4 tsp + 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil, divided

8 cups packed chopped & stemmed kale

1/2 tsp salt, divided

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder

pepper, and garlic powder each

1 cup fresh cranberries, or defrosted if from frozen 2 cups shredded or diced cooked turkey

1 tablespoon pepitas, toasted

Maple Mustard Tahini Dressing

1/4 cup tahini

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp maple syrup or honey

1 tbsp lemon juice

3 to 4 tablespoons water, or more for a thinner consistency

1/8 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Position oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Prick sweet potatoes in 3 to 4 spots with a fork. Rub each with 1 tsp oil, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp of salt and place on the prepared baking sheet. Roast on the lower rack until tender, 35 to 45 minutes.

After the first 20 minutes, toss kale with 1 tbsp oil in a large bowl. Spread in an even layer on another large rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp each of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast the kale on the upper rack, stirring once, for 10 minutes. Push the kale to one side and add cranberries and turkey to the other side of the pan. Continue roasting until the kale is crisp, the cranberries have burst and the turkey is hot, 5 to 8 minutes more.

While that cooks, whisk together the dressing ingredients in a medium bowl. Once done cooking, add the kale, cranberries and turkey and toss to combine.Holding each sweet potato with a kitchen towel to protect your hands, make a lengthwise cut without cutting all the way through. Pinch the ends to expose the flesh. Stuff each sweet potato with the kale, cranberry, and turkey mixture, then garnish with a sprinkle of pepitas. Serve warm.

Cold Plunge Benefits YOU MIGHT

NOT KNOW ABOUT

BY L-DA WILD, YOGA INSTRUCTOR AT GAINEY VILLAGE

Cold plunging has taken the world by storm, and it’s not just a trend or fad—it’s a life-altering practice you should consider at any phase of life. Whether you’re new to cold exposure or a seasoned enthusiast, understanding the science and benefits can help you get the most out of this invigorating practice.

Why Cold Plunging is More Than a Trend

Cold plunging, or cold water immersion, can stimulate the body’s natural regenerative processes, leading to the production of new cells and the replacement of old or damaged ones. Essentially, you can heal issues within your body before they become problematic.

The Science Behind Cold Plunge Benefits

How Cold Plunging Works: Cold exposure targets the mitochondria, the “power plants” of our cells. When certain cells absorb light wavelengths, they are stimulated to repair skin, boost new cell growth, and enhance skin rejuvenation. This therapy is particularly effective in stimulating collagen production, a key component of connective tissue that gives skin its structure, strength, and elasticity.

The Role of the Wim Hof Method and Dr. Rhonda Patrick: Two of the biggest cold plunge gurus are Wim Hof (“The Iceman”) and Dr. Rhonda Patrick. Hof has set numerous world records for cold endurance and developed the “Wim Hof Method,” which combines cold exposure, breathing exercises, and meditation. Dr. Patrick, a biomedical scientist, has extensively researched the benefits of cold exposure, including its effects on inflammation, metabolism, and brain function.

Key Cold Plunge Benefits

Enhanced Blood Flow: Cold exposure causes vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation, improving blood circulation. This increased blood flow can deliver more oxygen and nutrients to tissues, promoting cellular repair and regeneration.

Reduction of Inflammation: Cold exposure can reduce inflammation, which is associated with cellular damage and aging. By reducing inflammation, the body can focus more on healing and regeneration.

Immune System Boost: Regular cold exposure can enhance immune function, making the body more resilient against illnesses.

Practical Cold Plunging Techniques

Hormonal Balance: Cold exposure can help regulate hormones, including stress hormones like cortisol and feel-good hormones like endorphins, contributing to emotional stability and mental clarity.

Metabolic Improvement: Cold plunging can activate brown fat, which helps regulate metabolism and energy expenditure, potentially aiding in weight management and metabolic health.

Stress Reduction: The controlled stress of cold exposure can improve the body’s stress response over time, making individuals more resilient to everyday stressors.

Submerging and Contrast Therapy: Two popular cold plunging practices are submerging for short or extended periods and contrast therapy, which involves alternating between hot (such as a sauna or steam room) and cold environments. Both methods offer unique benefits, tailored to personal needs and preferences.

Tips for Maximizing Cold Plunge Benefits

• Always aim to end on cold to enhance circulation, boost metabolism, & extend the benefits of cold exposure.

• Start with shorter plunges and gradually increase duration as you become more comfortable.

The Importance of Breathwork in Cold Plunging

Diaphragmatic Breathing Techniques: Effective breathing is crucial in cold plunging. Diaphragmatic breathing, which involves using the diaphragm to expand the lungs fully, reduces strain on secondary muscles and promotes a sense of well-being.

My Cold Plunge Breathing Method

• Preparation

Take 10 diaphragmatic breaths in & out through the nose, counting 4-8 seconds for each inhale and exhale.

• Entering the Cold Plunge

Breathe from the diaphragm, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.

• Initial Submersion

Continue breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth for the first 10-20 seconds.

• Settling In

Return to nasal breathing, focusing on diaphragmatic breaths.
