Green vegetables are the food most missing in modern diets. Nutritionally, greens are very high in calcium (120 -190 mg per cup!) They're also high in magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorous, zinc, and they are a power house for Vitamin A, C, E and K. Believe it or not, they are also crammed high with fiber, folic acid, chlorophyll and many other micro-nutrients and phyto-chemicals – you just can’t get any better than this. Take a look at the following two recipes to help move you into a sensational summer!

Looking Into Mexican Food History
Historically, Mexican food is one of the most loved cuisines amongst American eaters all over the U.S. and has spread to other countries as well. Of course, depending on the amount of "heat" or fats in a particular Mexican dish, it may cause a problem for some of the more delicate digestive tracts. And that brings us to the point of healthy eating and Mexican food.
The problem with most Mexican foods that you find north of the border is that they have been infused with too much fat and added calories. Some restaurants have turned their recipes into monstrous super sized meals with enough food to feed an entire family in each individual serving. If you look back into Mexican food history and travel into different regions of Mexico, you will find that Mexican food, cooked in most local restaurants and casas, are actually prepared with healthy ingredients.
Most Mexican food that is made in Mexico is rich in fresh vegetables. They are very healthy because these vegetables and other fresh ingredients impart vitamins and proteins into the food. It is also flavored with real spices which can also be healthy as some spices contain antioxidants. Real spices give you real flavor that is natural and therefore better for you.
Now it is certainly possible to eat that healthy Mexican food here in the States if you know how to prepare the dishes yourself and you use healthy ingredients. There may be a store near you where fresh ingredients can be easily found and purchased, that are rich in the vitamins and devoid of the items that are detrimental to good health.

Thank God for Small Blessings Like Ice Cream
The blazing heat of summer as well the frequent heat waves that racks the state has brought back the popularity of ice cream as a way to escape the heat. Not only that, it seems that sugar free and fat free ice creams are losing ground in favor of the old tasty, sweet and full ice creams we liked so much when we were kids. This is not really so surprising. With the increasing problems we are having with the economy and the increasing pressure to manage our finances, ice creams represents a cheap and effective way to chase away the blues. This is the reason why ice cream manufacturers and ice cream vendors are having a field day selling the old style ice cream with some relatively new additions like the smoothies that includes frozen custard, a variation of the old style ice cream with egg as an additional flavoring.
These relatively new ice creams production process reverts back to the old fashioned way of ice cream production which is hand mixed and home made. As always, ice creams are popular because not only are they delicious, there are also a lot of things different in the ice creams of today.
