Filed under: Feast Your Eyes Photo: tlboyd05, Flickr Thanksgiving or not, cranberries are invited to our table anytime, lending tartness to just about any relish , compote, jelly or chutney . We love the way they form red carpets over New England bogs, the way they plump up and burst when they're cooked and, as the blogger who combined them with orange zest, honey, cinnamon and cardamom rhapsodizes in the caption to this photo, the way they "make the kitchen smell heavenly." That cranberries are loaded with antioxidants and help fight infections are just two more good reasons to find yet another way to serve them, such as in a tart-and-creamy cranberry-horseradish dip .

Filed under: The Skinny Chef , Recipes Photo: The Skinny Chef Tired of eating the same thing for breakfast? Here are two ways to incorporate super foods quinoa and flax into your morning meal, whether you like it hot or cold. Quinoa, sometimes called a whole grain, is actually the seed of a green leafy plant that is still cultivated in South America. Revered by the ancient Aztecs as a source of energy, chefs and home cooks now admire it for its mild taste and creamy texture. Quinoa is as easy to cook as rice, but it's also a complete protein (translation: it has all 9 essential amino acids) and is very high in manganese (which helps keep bones strong), niacin and fiber. Flax is another nutritional heavy hitter and has a nutty flavor reminiscent of toasted coconut. The seeds range in color from golden to brown to reddish brown. Heavy with omega-3 fatty acids, just two tablespoons of flax a day can give you almost all of your daily needs - but remember to purchase them ground, or grind your own, since the whole seed can pass through your system undigested. Ground flax can be sprinkled on top of or stirred into many of your favorite recipes. After the jump, find my nutritious breakfast recipes... Continue reading Better Breakfast, Two Ways

Filed under: Health & Medical , Food News Photo: ricardo-pereira, Flickr Hot dogs are the most common culprit when kids choke on foods, USA Today reports, citing a new policy statement on children and choking issued today by the American Academy of Pediatrics . In the policy statement, which was published today online in Pediatrics , the academy says it wants foods like hot dogs to have warning labels or be "redesigned" so that they are less likely to be lodged in the airways of children. Choking on food brings more than 10,000 kids age 14 and under to emergency rooms each year, and approximately 66 to 77 children under 10 die from choking on food every year, the policy statement says. Hot dogs are behind about 17 percent of these food-related asphyxiations, the paper reports. "The hot dog is the leading type of food that causes death due to choking on food, and the reason is because the hot dog is round, it's roughly the diameter of the back of a child's throat and so it will slide down behind the tongue and will completely block the airway making it impossible for any air to pass," Dr. Gary Smith told Slashfood. "If you wanted to design to the perfect plug for a child's airway, you couldn't do better than a hot dog." Continue reading Should Hot Dogs be Redesigned to Stop Kids from Choking?

Filed under: Business , Fast Food Photo: iirraa, Flickr Dr. Oz is always lecturing us not to eat fast food and Suze Orman is always nagging us to save more. Turns out the ghastly recession is forcing people to heed their sound advice. Breakfast sales at fast-food chains have plummeted in the last couple of years due to the poor economy. Think about it. If you don't have a job there's really no reason to get up early and balance an Egg McMuffin while driving, and if you're worried about job security one way to save some extra cash is to have breakfast at home.
