Dress Up Your Holiday Table!



What a festive way to welcome your guests! This video shows you how to make a dinner napkin Christmas tree, and it's a lot easier than you might think. If you leave out the pin at the top, this makes a wonderful project for children, too.

Merry Christmas!

Nutritional Yeast - Who, What, Where, How and Why?



Who:
Everyone should be eating nutritional yeast! It's a nutritious, delicious and low-calorie way to add protein and fiber to your meals.

What:
Nutritional yeast is different from the yeast that makes bread rise. It's an inactive yeast that is dairy-, soy- and gluten-free, and it is a great source of complete protein, as well as the B complex vitamins.

Where:
You can buy nutritional yeast just about anywhere these days. Whether you get it online or in your local health food store, in powder or flake form, make sure that you store your yeast in a cool, dark place.

How:
Nutritional yeast's nutty, almost cheesy taste has made it a favorite for vegan dishes that call for a cheese flavor.  Add it as an ingredient to soups, mashed potatoes, pasta. Sprinkle it on salads or popcorn. Are you making dessert? Try adding just a bit of nutritional yeast for a more complex flavor. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, you can find hundreds of fabulous recipes that use this golden food.

Why:
Why not? It's delicious, good for you and easy to find! Now, go eat some yeast!
