Mealtime.org Makes It Easy to Count Down to Nutritious, Tasty and Convenient Meals

Pittsburg, PA (PRWEB) October 7, 2009 — As the economy forces many Americans to toss takeout menus and ditch dinner reservations, many are making their way back into the kitchen in hopes of preparing nutritious, budget-friendly meals. Only problem is, recent research shows that many lack the knowledge of basic kitchen know-how and need help in the kitchen. However, the same research found that moms make positive changes when they receive guidance, so the Canned Food Alliance (CFA) provided moms with the Essential Kitchen Toolkit, which offers easy-to-read guides to planning and preparing healthful meals.

Now, the CFA has partnered with chef and cookbook author, Andrew Schloss so moms can apply the basics of meal preparation, to create easy, inventive meals at home with much lower costs. Not convinced? You do the math:

To answer this call for help in the kitchen these ten new recipes all have one thing in common: they feature 1 pot; 5 ingredients; cost 10 dollars or less; take 15 minutes or less to prepare and have 400 calories or less per serving – literally counting down to healthy meals in minutes.

"Being creative with the variety of canned foods available today is what makes these recipes unique. Without canned food, it wouldn't be possible to make these flavorful meals this quickly and at this cost," said Schloss. "By simply pairing ingredients, such as canned, diced green chilies to add flavor to a flank steak or adding a can of southwestern-style corn to any stew, I was able to create nutritious meals that taste great for under $10."

Now live on www.Mealtime.org, the "Kitchen Countdown" recipe collection offers nutrition, convenience and great taste all in one – and includes the following dishes for your serving pleasure:

•    Caribbean Fish and Sweet Potato Skillet Dinner

•    Chicken Nachos

•    Chili Stuffed Flank Steak

•    Corn and Crab Cakes

•    Fish Tacos

•    Mexican Shrimp Stew

•    Salmon Herb Pie

•    Smoked Turkey Gazpacho

•    Thai Coconut Chicken Soup

•    Vegetarian Brown Rice Casserole

What Sparked Us to Get Cooking?

In early 2009, a Rutgers University study – commissioned by the Canned Food Alliance and published in the Forum for Family and Consumer Sciences journal – revealed that although moms have good intentions, they want and need a better grasp of kitchen basics. This lack of basic kitchen knowledge is ultimately hindering them from preparing nutritious, great-tasting family meals. However, when given a roadmap for preparing convenient, nutritious meals, the research also showed moms made positive changes in their kitchens.

Recognizing that moms make positive changes when they receive advice on how to prepare and serve easy, quick and healthful meals, the Canned Food Alliance developed the Essential Kitchen Toolkit as an educational resource. The Toolkit, which was modeled after the successful action plans used in the Rutgers research, offers easy-to-read guides to planning and preparing healthful meals, navigating the grocery store and organizing the kitchen, as well as a kitchen glossary, and food and kitchen safety tips.

"We learned through the Rutgers research that moms needed help, so we gave them the tools to get them started," said Rich Tavoletti, executive director for the Canned Food Alliance. "So now, we've taken it a step further by offering the "Kitchen Countdown" recipe collection as an easy way for moms to apply those tools to help them be creative when it comes to serving flavorful and wholesome meals for their families."

About the Canned Food Alliance:

The Canned Food Alliance is a partnership of the American Iron and Steel Institute's Steel Packaging Council, the Can Manufacturers Institute, select food processors and affiliate members. The primary mission of the CFA is to drive increased consumption of canned foods by enhancing the perception of their numerous benefits. For hundreds of mealtime solutions, visit www.mealtime.org.

Thai2GO Launches in Medical District in Dallas, TX

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) June 12, 2009 — Dallas's premiere take out restaurant for Thai Food is opening this weekend. The restaurant, opened by Dallas Native Siam "Sammy" Saechew, is set to fill a unique gap in the restaurant market of Dallas. "We are opening Thai2Go with one goal in mind." said Saechew. "And that is to serve the best authentic Thai food possible to staff and patients."

The secret of Thai2Go is that it's located in the heart of the Medical District near Parkland Hospital, Children's Medical Center and UT Southwestern. "Growing up I was blessed with eating authentic and delicious Thai food whenever I want. Now, I want to share all the great dishes I was able to enjoy throughout my life with everyone else," says Saechew.

Saechew and company calls Thai2Go "a taste bud adventure waiting to happen." Below you will find some of the dishes that will make that a reality, with many more on the way:

Pad Thai

- Probably the most popular dish in any Thai restaurant, we start with your choice of beef, chicken, tofu or soy chicken. We'll stir fry this with soft rice noodles, then add tofu, coarsely chopped scallions, slightly scrambled eggs, some crushed roasted peanuts and our secret blend of sauces. We top it off with some chilled bean sprouts and it's ready for you to savor.

Green Curry (Gang Keow Wahn)

- This dish is one of the less over powering of the curry dishes we serve. We start this dish with some simmering coconut milk and add in your choice of beef, chicken, tofu or soy chicken. We then add julienned bamboo shoots, chopped green beans, and julienned bell peppers. We top this dish off with some cool sweet basil leaves and you've got a taste adventure waiting to happen.

Beef Salad

- We do this dish a little different from the rest. We start by searing the steak to lock in the flavors. Then, we thinly slice the steak and toss it with crushed parched rice, minced green onions, coarsely chopped cilantro, finely sliced scallions and freshly squeezed limes. We top this over a bed of fresh lettuce and cool mint leaves.

Thai2go is also fully embracing Social Media for his restaurant as they have a twitter account and a Facebook Fan Page. Unlike most small business owners Saechew and crew have been fully open with their building process.

You can read all about what it takes to open a Thai restaurant (or any small restaurant) on his funny, yet insightful Blog located at http://getthai2go.com/blog/. Saechew says "I want this to be an open and transparent process, from the way I created this restaurant to the way we present our food to the way we greet our customers. I want people to come in and ask for me by name and really get to know my customers. My Blog and Social Media are helping me do that every day."

Thai2go will officially be opening on June 8th, with an opening party and official grand opening coming later in the month. We invite the media and the public to get a taste of this new Thai restaurant.

Thai2go is located at 2222 Medical District Dr #205 and is open from 10:30AM – 9PM.

Thai at Greenville Brings Sweet and Spicy to Greenville, South Carolina

Greenville, SC (PRWEB) July 19, 2008 — In order to share her love of quality Thai food with Greenville, South Carolina, Pam Attavuth opened up Thai at Greenville, a Thai restaurant, and because of her tasty options, she was recently featured in the local Greenville News recently.

And while she did not learn how to cook Thai cuisine while living in Thailand, because her mother would do all of the cooking, Attavuth needed to learn how to cook good food for herself once she moved into the United States in 1984. Attavuth started cooking with her Thai friends while she attended college in Texas, and mastered the techniques and methods needed to be able to cook quality Thai meals.

“I’m from Thailand. So I know pretty much about Thai food,” said Attavuth in the feature. “And I’ve eaten much Thai food in many different places.”

And to encourage guests to learn more about Thai food and try different items on the menu, Attavuth has introduced a buffet, which features ten Thai dishes, including desserts. The reason for this was because Attavuth felt that most people who visited her restaurant were tempted to order the same thing every time they go to the restaurant.

In order to ensure the consistency of the food, Attavuth insists on overseeing all of the cooking in the restaurant, and makes sure herbs that are healthy for her customers are included in the meal.

About Thai at Greenville:

Thai at Greenville is a Thai restaurant in Greenville, South Carolina whose customers return because they prefer how Pam Attavuth, the owner of the restaurant, prepares her dishes: nothing is ever too sweet or too salty. Customer favorites include Basil Chicken, Chicken Kra Prao, Red Curry and Pad Thai.

Mekhong, The Spirit of Thailand, Receives Friendly Welcome in the U.S.: Mekhong’s Mix-ability Opens Up An Exotic New World of Alluring and

NEW YORK (Business Wire EON) April 23, 2008 — Mekhong is a unique, premium blended and distilled Thai spirit made mostly from sugar cane and rice and infused with a special blend of indigenous Thai herbs and spices. The highly secret Mekhong recipe was developed to complement the taste and flavor of Thai food and delivers a distinctively rounder texture, delightful aroma and a smooth and more balanced taste than most golden spirits.

At 35% alcohol by volume, the product’s smooth mixability makes Mekhong an ideal spirit for fascinating and flavorful cocktails. Mekhong is a complex and well balanced blended and distilled spirit with a golden, dark amber and reddish copper appearance. Its flavor and aroma are both spicy and sweet with hints of ginger, honey, toffee, vanilla, floral, herbs and citrus.

Mekhong is poised to take advantage of the resurging “cocktail culture” in America that is looking for fun and interesting new flavored cocktails. Mekhong is nice and smooth straight but mixes extremely well in a wide variety of cocktails.

Among the most popular Mekhong cocktails are the Sabai Sabai, the Thai welcome drink, popular for more than a decade at Thailand’s famed upscale and pristine beach resorts, which is a strong contender to compete with mojitos and margaritas in the U.S. Sabai Sabai calls for 1.5 shots of Mekhong, 1.5 shots fresh squeezed lemon juice, .75 shot simple sugar syrup, finger pinch of sweet Thai basil and club soda.

Other fun and tasty Mekhong cocktails include the Mekhong Long-Tail, which combines Mekhong with lime juice, ginger ale (or ginger beer), Angostura Bitters and sliced lime wheels, the Thai-Foon, Mekhong mixed with coconut puree or cream, white Creme de Cacao and a touch of grated or ground nutmeg, and the Khing Khong, Mekhong and cola, which towers in taste over a traditional rum or bourbon and cola drinks. A full listing of Mekhong recipes and its history is available at the Mekhong Web site: www.thespiritofthailand.com.

IBHL USA president John Lennon likens Mekhong to other national pride spirits in different parts of the world that have become popular specialty alcohol here in the U.S.

“Peru has its Pisco, Mexico its Tequila and Brazil its Cachaca. Mekhong, which has long been the pride of Thailand, will quickly find its place here in the U.S. and enjoyed by the American market,” said Lennon.

Lennon added, “When it comes to spirits there is nothing more Thai than the iconic Mekhong. A taste of Mekhong is truly enjoying a taste of Thailand, and because of its flavor and finish it is the perfect complement to the spicy and sweet and sour flavor combinations of Thai and Asian food.”

Mekhong is distilled, blended and bottled at the Bangyikhan Distillery on the outskirts of Bangkok. The brand is named after the mighty Mekhong River, which is derived from “Mae Nam” – Khong in Thai meaning “the mother of all waters” and has a long mystical history in Thailand and throughout Southeast Asia. Launched in 1941 as Thailand’s first domestically produced branded spirit, Mekhong quickly became the most popular brand in Thailand and still today is synonymous with Thai pride and patriotism.

Mekhong comes in a unique 750 ML international bottle taking its design inspiration from traditional Thai boating on the Mekhong River. A colorful red and gold ribbon is tied around the neck of each bottle. The ribbons are a symbol of good luck and are representative of the ones boaters tie around their vessels to ward off evil spirits as they travel the Mekhong River. Mekhong is available in 350ml, 700ml, 750ml and 1 liter.

Malaysian and Thai Restaurant Featured in New Jersey Newspaper

Lodi, NJ (PRWEB) June 22, 2008 — North New Jersey now has a new and exotic restaurant where they can tempt their taste buds. Penang’s Malaysian and Thai Restaurant was profiled in “Starter,” a feature in The Daily Record newspaper. “Starter” is a feature in which a reporter gives the reader an in-depth look of the restaurant instead of providing a review. This new restaurant serves up many dishes from Malaysia and surrounding countries. Penang’s culinary variety shows in the amount of food that they offer. The restaurant’s menu consists of more than 100 items.

“Penang is a family-owned business, so all the recipes are traditional and have been passed down for years,” said Henry Chok, owner of the Penang Restaurant.

Examples of Malaysian, Thai, Chinese and Indian recipes are scattered throughout the menu. Malaysian recipes include volcano pork chops stir-fried in barbeque sauce and beef rending, while Chinese recipes are represented in dumpling and won ton menu items.

All these dishes are served in a big room with a young and modern décor, created by Art Design Partners. Chok explains that he was aiming for “an upscale New York lounge” atmosphere. This look was achieved with dark wood furniture and bright lights behind the bar.

Penang Malaysian and Thai Restaurant also has locations in Edison, East Hanover and Princeton, all in New Jersey.

Las Vegas Restaurant Enhance Customer Experience of Thai Food with New Exotic Spirits

Las Vegas, NV (Vocus) April 30, 2010 — KungFu Plaza, a Thai and Chinese Restaurant, announced today it is introducing a new Distilled Spirit from Thailand that will greatly enhance diners experience and improve their enjoyment of Thai food.

Patrons of this Las Vegas Thai Restaurant (http://www.kungfuplaza.com) will be able to start ordering New Exotic drinks like “Khing Khong”, “Burning Love”, “Meh-Jito”, “Sweet-Solada”, or “Sabai Sabai”, to name a few, that were created by bartenders throughout the United States, using “Mekhong” a spirit named after one of the world’s major rivers. Starting from the Tibetan Plateau, Mekhong runs through China, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

The original recipe has been kept secret since 1941, when it was first introduced in Siam, present-day Thailand. Made mostly from indigenous sugar canes, rice, Thai herbs and spices, Mekhong has a distinctively rounder texture, a delightful aroma with a smooth and balanced taste compared to other spirits. The flavor is both spicy and sweet, with hints of ginger, honey, toffee, vanilla, floral, herbs and citrus. At a 35% alcohol by volume it’s an ideal spirit for mixing flavorful tropical infused cocktails.

Chain Wong, founder of Kung Fu Plaza, has been waiting for this day, ever since we first started serving Las Vegas Thai food (http://www.kungfuplaza.com) in 1973. Until now, beer was the preferred choice when pairing drinks to Thai Food¹, although there are many good Western Spirits on the market, none are made to complement the curries, mints and spices, which are prevalent in the ingredients of Thai food. “Most Spirits, like Jack Daniels, or Johnny Walker Black Label are made for meat and potato dinners. It always taste like something’s missing when we have Crown Royal with our Curries, instead of complementing the meal it seems to be contradicting each other in terms of after taste,” said Wong. “Now we can finally put down Thai food like it was meant to be put down, with a Khing Khong, Mekong and Coke.”

To see more cocktail recipes with Mekong, visit http://www.mekhong.com. Mekong is imported by International Beverage Holdings Ltd USA and is headquartered at 275 Madison Ave Suite 1718. New York, NY 10016. For more information, call 646-896-3809

To review a menu consisting of more than 800 Chinese food and Thai food dishes, visit http://www.kungfuplaza.com. Kung Fu Plaza Restaurant delivers food within a five-mile radius, to the Strip and is located at 3505 S. Valley View Blvd., which is just west of the Fashion Show Mall on the Las Vegas Strip. For reservations, call 702-247-4120.

Founded in 1973, Kung Fu Plaza is the oldest and most authentic Chinese and Thai restaurant in Las Vegas. It is open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. The average entree is under $10 and most patrons order family style.

A Foodie In St Barth – La Mandala

Eating out is never exactly a chore in mainland France, and the visitor is in for just as much of a culinary delight on the French Caribbean island of St Barth.

There are over 50 restaurants mentioned in the excellent guide Saint-Barth Tables. It’s available free at the airport and lists all the menus and prices. In addition there are many smaller bars and eateries you might come across on your travels around the island.

Don’t expect too many ‘local? dishes as apart from fish, just about everything else has to be imported and the fashion seems to be plenty of ‘fusion food? catering for the most sophisticated and moneyed tastes – which of course are not necessarily the same thing

On the whole the prices aren’t too scary and if your want to be certain of a table, book in advance – especially during high season.

Here’s a pick (not always a recommendation) of some of the places I tried out on my latest trip to St Barth.

La Mandala, Gustavia

Being told that the restaurant was under new ownership sent alarm bells ringing as I took the plunge and made a reservation.

But my fears proved to be ungrounded as both the food and the service lived up to expectations. The place might have change hands, but the food is still good and the location of course well worth the effort.

La Mandala is in the island’s capital, Gustavia, perched above the harbour, so parking will be a bit of a hassle, especially in high season. And be prepared for a steep last 50metre legs akimbo climb, which at least will help you work up an appetite.

It’s also probably a good idea to leave any fancy shoes behind unless someone’s prepared to drop you off right outside the door.

The new owners haven’t really done anything to spruce up the interior – they didn’t really need to as it’s pretty much modern and classic for its setting. The roof is a sort of stretched beige canvas over an exposed wooden frame. There’s decked flooring with the occasional water feature – so mind you step.

There’s a light and airy feeling to the whole restaurant even in the evenings as it’s open on two sides. And be sure to try to book a table overlooking the town as you’ll benefit from any sea breeze, which can be something of a relief especially when the humidity rises.

Background music is kept low, so conversation at a normal volume is possible although it’s more than likely that once the place gets really busy, and you’re sitting right in the middle, it might get a little difficult to make yourself heard.

So the location and the decor haven’t changed and neither has the food – it’s still good quality and there were no unpleasant surprises awaiting us. La Mandala is yet again one of those places describing its dishes as ‘fusion food? – clearly THE culinary buzzword of the moment.

Bur fear not, you won’t find anything too ‘off-the-wall? on the menu as its real specialities remain sushi, sashimi and Thai cuisine, and that’s really what it excels at.

We shared two starters one from the chef-recommended ?39 set menu, offering freshly made crab and shrimp spring rolls, with noodle rice,Thai sauce and seaweed. And the other – la carte selection of sushi, sashimi and maki – all good quality.

The main course was fish curry, grilled fish and chicken – all part of the set menu and much tastier and belying its simple description. A la carte was chicken served in a coconut, mango and lemongrass sauce and Thai rice – a tasty and harmonious combination and definitely a generous sized portion. So often in these sorts of dishes you have poke around a while to find any hint of meat on the plate. This was certainly not the case – a scrumptious choice with no place left for dessert.

The set menu though included the wickedly delicious moelleux au chocolat and somehow I managed to sneak a spoonful – and that hit just the right spot.

The restaurant was not exactly heaving the night we were there. That’s perhaps not surprising really as the season is definitely drawing to a close. Nonetheless we were still given a warm welcome and the service was friendly, smiley and efficient. A definite thumbs up.

One thing worth mentioning perhaps is that La Mandala also does sushi, sashimi and maki to go – yum yum.

Low Fat Recipes to Lose Weight

There are many diets on the market that claim to shed pounds without any exercise. This is not a healthy way to diet, nor is there any diet that will work without exercise. However, if you are tired of dieting without results, it may be time to revamp your everyday food intake. Here are a few low fat recipes to help you lose weight naturally.
Filling Chicken Bake
You will need 2 boxes of chicken stuffing, a can of cream of chicken soup, 2 egg whites, 2 chicken breasts, a pat of butter substitute, 1 bag of egg noodles and 2 cans of chicken broth. First grill your chicken breasts and then cut into bite sized pieces. Add the egg whites, chicken broth and cream of chicken soup to a baking pan. Mix these together well. Cook the two boxes of chicken flavored stuffing by following the directions on the box. Add the chicken breast pieces into the mixture in the baking pan along with the egg noodles and butter pat and mix well. Spoon the stuffing over the top of the entire pan and spread out evenly so that the entire mixture is covered. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes and allow to cool before serving.
Many low fat recipes to lose weight don’t allow for any trading of ingredients, but the above creation allows for you to substitute egg whites for egg beaters, chicken noodle soup for the egg noodles and chicken broth and even regular butter for the butter substitute. You can change the cream of chicken soup to any cream style soup as well.
Low fat recipes for weight loss abound on the internet. Here is another tasty recipe to try out:
You will need ten ounces of frozen spinach, 1 jar of spaghetti sauce, one egg, a bag of low fat mozzarella cheese, a box of manicotti shells, 16 ounces of fat free ricotta cheese and a tablespoon of parmesan cheese. Boil the manicotti noodles to your desired tenderness. Mix the ricotta cheese and desired spices together with an egg and add half a cup of the mozzarella cheese and the parmesan cheese together in a bowl. Defrost the spinach and then squeeze out all liquid. Add the spinach to the cheese mixture and then blend all other cheese based ingredients together. Using a spoon, stuff the manicotti shells with the mixture and lay in the bottom of a baking dish. Add spaghetti sauce over the top of the shells and place in the oven at 350 degrees for half an hour. Remove from oven and immediately place half a cup of mozzarella over the top of each shell and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
You can substitute freshly diced tomatoes for the spaghetti sauce to avoid additional salt, as well as using wheat manicotti shells to bring down the calories. Low fat recipes to lose weight do not have to taste bad, as you can see. Simply avoiding calorie stuffed, fat laden foods will help your body to not store fat eaten, and will cause the body to use the fat storage already present.
