Turkey and cheese, pesto panini recipe

Turkey and cheese, pesto panini - 3

If you’re a bit of a food cheapskate like me, you probably skip right over panini on a menu. They’re undeniably delicious, but they’re outrageously priced — $17 for a warmed deli-meat sandwich?! You can make the exact same sandwiches at home — no exaggeration. You might spend the same amount on ingredients, but you’ll be able to make enough sandwiches to feed your whole family, or yourself for a week. Try this recipe for a warm, cheesy turkey and cheese panini with pesto. The pesto mayo and fresh baked bread make it taste like it came from one of those overpriced fancy sandwich shops, but you’ll be eater fresher and healthier, and of course, saving yourself some cash in the process. Turkey and cheese, pesto panini Ingredients 2 tbsp light mayonnaise 4 tsp basil pesto 4 slices of bakery bread, thin sliced (Sourdough is my favorite for this recipe)…

8 examples of the Mandela effect in food that will blow your mind

8 examples of the Mandela effect in food that will blow your mind

There’s an unexplained phenomenon out there that you’ve probably experienced before, without even knowing it had a name. The Mandela Effect is a popular conspiracy theory, and it has been known to seriously play tricks on your brain. The Mandela Effect is the term used to describe the phenomenon when thousands of people, often strangers, share a very specific memory of something that never existed or happened differently. The very name was inspired by the collective misremembering of the death of Nelson Mandela. Mandela died in 2013, but people all over the world incorrectly  remember the human rights activist dying in prison in the 1980s. It’s not simply a case of mistaken memory, because a large number of people share in the same false memory. So what is going on here? There are a lot of different explanations for why the Mandela Effect happens. Psychologists believe it’s a result of confabulation, or…

Slow-cooker mexican turkey chili makes for a lean, hearty meal

If you’re trying to eat healthy, the Super Bowl comes at a super inconvenient time. Just a few weeks past the holidays, we’re hardly detoxed from those dozens of cookies and excess alcohol before BAM!: A whole day full of fattening foods.

‘Turkey On The Table’ is newest holiday crazy

Turkey On The Table is newest holiday crazyTurkey On The Table

It’s nice to see Thanksgiving getting a little love. The Elf of the Shelf has been hanging around American homes for over a decade now. Somehow, this creepy inanimate object has stolen the hearts of millions of kids. Not to be outdone, Hanukkah inspired its own version, 2013’s The Mensch on a Bench. Now maybe we can all come together for something a little more secular, in celebration of a holiday often overlooked. Turkey on the Table ($39.99) was launched by California moms April George and Kerry Manus in 2015. Like the Elf and the Mensch, the faux turkey comes with a book (featuring an adorable looking turkey) and paper feathers. In the weeks leading up to the big feast, kids are supposed to write things they’re grateful for on the feathers, and stick them in the plush turkey’s backend to make a tail. “Start a tradition, give thanks and give back,” the company promotes. Additional packs of feathers are for sale when…

Report shows restaurants that use most antibiotics in meats

Report shows restaurants that have most antibiotics in meatsAdobe stock

Consumers Union has released its third annual “Chain Reaction” report on the prevalence of antibiotics in meat products in America’s most popular chain restaurants. Sadly, the results show most of the restaurants have failed to improve, even in the face of drug-resistant superbugs. The rankings are based on each companies’ own policies for the use of antibiotic in meat and poultry products that they buy. Pumping chickens, cows and pigs full of antibiotics intended for humans is slowly destroying our ability to treat common infections. The U.N. has called it a growing concern and potential global health crisis. More than 23,000 people die annually in the U.S. from antibiotic-resistant infections each year, according the the CDC. To combat this problem, doctors and hospitals use antibiotics more judiciously than in the past, yet 70 percent of all antibiotics sold in the U.S. aren’t intended for human use anyway, but rather in animal agriculture. “The nation’s fast food restaurant chains are…
