POPSTips & techniques for homemade ice cream from Shuna Fish Lydon Lots of excellent technical advice, especially in the notes at the end of the recipe. More: Never cook high acid dairies like buttermilk, crème fraiche, yogurt, cultured cheeses. Always add high acid liquids to ice cream base after chilling it through and through. High acid liquids: citrus juice, the above dairies, molasses, fruit purees, vinegars, etc. An invert sugar is one that exists in nature as a liquid. Examples: corn syrups, glucose, honey, simple syrup, agave syrup, malt syrup, maple syrup, molasses, Lyle's Golden syrup, Treacle, etc. Both Invert Sugars and alcohol will lower the freezing temperature of ice creams and sorbet.

POPSEating It? BPA Found in Surprising Places Canned foods are thought to be the predominate route of BPA exposure. * Buy prepared foods in jars when possible–especially tomatoes and tomato sauce. * Opt for fresh produce when you can, choose frozen produce over canned. * Use dried beans instead of canned beans ---------------------- Enfamil formula appears to have the highest concentrations of the 20 tests. The only solution here is to use alternatives to canned formula --------------- avoid #7 plastics, especially for children’s food.

POPSOut With the Old, In With the Raw In general, if you are craving crap you are likely to be deficient in some area of nutrition. Eating enough greens will solve this problem. Most smoothie bars are serving up so much sugar you may as well be at a Dairy Queen. There are tons of green smoothie recipes online and in books like Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko to help you keep it fresh in the kitch. Get your green smoothie in often and feel the difference. Here’s one from the article: Ghetto Green Smoothie • Fresh spinach • Bananas • Water Fill your blender up ¾ full with the fresh spinach. Add two bananas and just enough water to get it to blend down (the idea is to get as much greens in while maintaining your taste preference). Blend and taste. Too sweet? Add more greens. Too swampy? Add more bananas. You can also add ice or use frozen bananas for a frostier blend. More nutritional goodness at the site.
