Green-up your greens

Making your salad a colorful and nutritious masterpiece that you would be proud to serve goes hand in hand; the more color variation in your salad the more nutriants.
Choosing the right types of lettuce for your salad can be confusing. There are so many choices and is lettuce really that important? Yes. Just going to your local grocery store and grabbing iceberg lettuce won't cut it in the nutrition department.
Other types of lettuce, such as: Escarole, Kale, Arugula and Romaine, hold way more nutriants, have thicker textures and more interesting colors. Both Escarole and Kale hold up well under heat and can be used in soups as well as salads.
Using organic lettuce will also add to the nutritional value of your salad. Most grocery chains carry at least one brand of organic Romaine lettuce. Specialty stores like Trader Joe's offer a wide variety of organic lettuce.
Remember as a rule of thumb- the more colors in your salad, the more nutritional value it will hold.

A Shade Of Green Everyone Likes

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and that can only mean one thing: green beer and good friends.

This year take a break from the usual St. Patty's running of the snakes and barbecue green. It’s just as easy to execute as your traditional barbecue, but not as harsh on the environment.

The first step is to make sure that your actual barbecue is transformed into a new and improve green barbecue. This change is simple, instead of using charcoal use propane. Even though propane is a petroleum product, it still burns cleaner than charcoal.

For those of you that are unwilling to give up charcoal, there is an eco-friendly option for you too. Try using organic Wicked Good Charcoal. This charcoal is made from 100 percent natural Brazilian timber certified by The National Forest Stewardship Council. It also burns cleaner and longer than other firewood.

As far as that juicy meat that you are going to cook on the barbeque there are several options as where to find those juicy patties. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s are excellent places to buy all the organic food for your green St. Patty’s Day party.

Really though it’s St. Patrick’s Day and that means green beer. Adding food color to Wolaver’s Pale Ale and Peak Organic Beer not only make the color of the beer green but, they are also organic brews.

One last tip to make you barbecue eco-friendly is to either not use plastic dishes, cups and utensils, or just make sure that they are recyclable.

In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day I leave you with these words:

May your glass ever be full.

May the roof over your head be always strong.

And may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you’re dead!
