As Seen on… 

 

 

To no surprise, Tik Tok has become one of the top apps on the app store, if not the top. And for anyone who has ever used the app, you can quickly see how time seems to slip away from you (guilty). And yes, 99% of the content comes from extremely unreliable sources, and is most likely made up simply for views and likes. But what’s that 1% that is valuable? The FOOD. The recipes posted on Tik Tok, especially the viral ones, are seriously recipes I will keep forever. Not to mention, it’s a visual learner's dream when it comes to creating food this way. So here’s my favorite Tik Tok entree and dessert that I've discovered over the years. I hope you’ll try them out!

 

“Tik Tok Pasta”

2 Pints cherry tomatoes

2 tsp garlic

¼ cup Parsley

8 oz whole grain pasta

“Viral Cinnamon Rolls Hack”

Okay so this recipe isn’t exactly one that I would call super “healthy,” but that’s okay because it's super delicious! We all deserve a cinnamon roll day every once and a while, and this tik tok hack has made making (what tastes like) authentic cinnamon rolls wayyyy too easy. 

 

1 can Pillsbury cinnamon rolls

3 cups heavy whipping cream

½ stick melted butter

¼ cup brown sugar

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

Dash of salt

Icing (from the packet)

 

1. Grease baking dish

2. Place cinnamon rolls in greased dish 

3. Add heavy cream to the dish. The heavy cream should come about halfway up the cinnamon roll. Add more or less depending on the size/ amount of cinnamon rolls

4. Mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add mixture to the top of the cinnamon rolls. 

5. Cover cinnamon rolls with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. 

6. Top cinnamon rolls with icing provided. Enjoy!

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...
