 Healthy cooking that tastes great


There's fruit, and then there's superfruit. What's the difference? A superfruit has unique phytochemicals not found in other fruits - and that translates to unique health benefits.
As more and more information emerges about the power of superfruits - from açai to goji berries - an American favorite that's been here all along is stepping into the spotlight: California Dried Plums.
Dried plums are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. And they're loaded with surprises. Today's dried plums are sweet, moist and tasty. Compared with other fruits, they're surprisingly affordable, conveniently portable and always available.
California Dried Plums are the easy way to enjoy superfruit nutrition every day in cooking, baking, salads or as a quick snack anytime. Find delicious recipes at www.californiadriedplums.org.


Dried plums. What's in 'em for you?
-Improved digestion: A single serving (four to five dried plums) has three grams of fiber, to help you maintain good digestive health.
-Tasty nutrition: Dried plums are a nutrition powerhouse that includes B vitamins, potassium, magnesium and boron.
-Antioxidants: Dried plums have phenolics that promote good health.
-Blood sugar control: Dried plums can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
-Cholesterol management: Fiber and other compounds in dried plums can help maintain healthy cholesterol.
-Beauty: A study among elderly people suggests dried plums may help reduce skin wrinkles.
-A perfect fit for healthful diets: Dried plums promote satiety and have only 100 calories per serving.


"Dried plums are bite-size nuggets of superfruit goodness ... and they're super-affordable and easy to fit into your busy life."
- David Grotto, RD, LDN, author, "101 Foods That Could Save Your Life"

Family, Friends, Stories of Life - Parenting Tips & Ideas
Written by Jean Tracy, MSS   

"In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony." - Eva Burrows

 
Don't let love be your unspoken feelings from within. Express your love and uplift your family. Read the following to find out how.
 
1. Use words of praise. Be specific. Be positive:

"I like how you helped your little sister when she fell down."

"Thank you for your phone call. I love talking with you."

"Our walk under the stars reminded me how much I love you."
 
Love is the oil that eases friction by focusing on the good. When you let your family know how they please you, you'll be pleasing them in return.
