         Easter Candy


Ways to be creative with left over easter candy:

 

After most holidays, it seems as if I have so much candy and goodies left over to last me a life time. Here are some clever ways to put them to good use! 

 

1.)   Easter Candy Bark: on a sheet pan with wax paper put down melted chocolate of choice and then sprinkle in crushed Easter candy (Reeses, M&Ms, etc) 

 

2.)   Peep Crispy treats: instead of regular marshmallows, used your peeps! 

 

3.)   Peep smores: as the weather gets nicer, you can incorporate your left over peeps with those smores you make at your bonfire! 

 

4.)   Cadbury mini egg cupcake: put a Cadbury egg in the middle of your cupcakes to add a nice creamy goodness surprise! 




 

Here is the Peep Crispy Treat recipe!  

 

3 tablespoons butter
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
35 (7 sleeves) assorted colors of Peeps (I used pink, purple, blue, & yellow)

Prep. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with baking spray.

Melt. Melt butter in a large pot over low heat. Add Peeps, keeping each different color in it's own section in the pot. Do not stir. Remove from heat once Peeps have melted (about 8-10 minutes).



Mix. Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir to combine until well-coated. Pour into prepared baking dish and press down evenly.

Eat. Allow to cool completely, then cut into squares and serve.

Do you struggle with pre and post exercise nutrition?

What should i eat before and after a workout? First things first…carbohydrates, proteins and fats are important for the body before  and after exercise. Exercising muscle preferentially uses carbohydrates from stored glycogen, but fats are also an important fuel source for energy production during exercise. Fats and carbohydrates are the two major fuel sources during exercise. Fats must be translocated and broken down from their storage form before they are used. Typically there is enough carbohydrate stored as muscle glycogen for exercise but as muscle glycogen stores decline, the skeletal muscle will then use some amino acids (basic components of all protein). More specifically, the amino acid leucine is used for energy.              It is important to consume an adequate amount of carbohydrates exercise to delay fatigue and minimize gastrointestinal distress. It is also important to consume enough fluids to prev...

Child Malnutrition

New approach to childhood malnutrition may reduce relapses, deaths http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150211124024.htm               Moderate acute malnutrition is experienced by 35 million children worldwide. A new study led by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has suggested that feeding children until they have met target measures of arm circumference and weight may be more important than a set 12 week feeding time. However, researchers have found that the current targets, set by the World Health Organization (WHO) may not be sufficient and raising these targets slightly could significantly reduce the risk of relapse in malnourished children; a condition that has a 37% relapse rate. The study took place in rural Malawi and was comprised of 2,349 moderately malnourished children aged 6 months to 5 years old. Children were evaluated 12 months after treatment; 1,967 rec...
