93.7 The Breeze presents a fresh, new way to wake up on the Treasure and Space Coast! Meet our new morning show:
We both agree... This one's pretty good!
These items have lengthy expiration dates, so you can stash them away for long periods of time. Make a list of everything in your stockpile and check expiration dates every 6 to 12 months to keep things fresh. And don’t forget to have a can opener on hand at all times--all that food won’t be of any use if you can’t open it.
• Peanut butter A great source of energy, peanut butter is chock-full of healthful fats and protein. Unless the jar indicates otherwise, you don’t have to refrigerate after opening.

• Whole-wheat crackers Crackers are a good replacement for bread and make a fine substitute in sandwiches. Due to their higher fat content, whole-wheat or whole-grain crackers have a shorter shelf life than their plain counterparts (check the box for expiration dates), but the extra fiber pays off when you’re particularly hungry. Consider vacuum-packing your crackers to prolong their freshness.
• Nuts and trail mixes Stock up on these high-energy foods—they’re convenient for snacking and healthful. Look for vacuum-packed containers, which prevent the nuts from oxidizing and losing their freshness.
• Cereal Choose multigrain cereals that are individually packaged so they don’t become stale after opening.
• Granola bars and power bars Healthy and filling, these portable snacks usually stay fresh for at least six months. Plus, they’re an excellent source of carbohydrates. “You can get more energy from carbohydrates without [eating] tons of food,” Andress says.

• Dried fruits, such as apricots and raisins In the absence of fresh fruit, these healthy snacks offer potassium and dietary fiber. “Dried fruits provide you with a significant amount of nutrients and calories,” Swanson says.
• Canned tuna, salmon, chicken, or turkey Generally lasting at least two years in the pantry, canned meats provide essential protein. Vacuum-packed pouches have a shorter shelf life but will last at least six months, says Diane Van, manager of the USDA meat and poultry hotline.
• Canned vegetables, such as green beans, carrots, and peas When the real deal isn’t an option, canned varieties can provide you with essential nutrients.

• Canned soups and chili Soups and chili can be eaten straight out of the can and provide a variety of nutrients. Look for low-sodium options.
• Bottled water Try to stock at least a three-day supply--you need at least one gallon per person per day. “A normally active person should drink at least a half gallon of water each day,” Andress says. “The other half gallon is for adding to food and washing.”
• Sports drinks, such as Gatorade or Powerade The electrolytes and carbohydrates in these drinks will help you rehydrate and replenish fluid when water is scarce.
• Powdered milk Almost all dairy products require refrigeration, so stock this substitute for an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D when fresh milk isn’t an option.

• Sugar, salt, and pepper If you have access to a propane or charcoal stove, you may be doing some cooking. A basic supply of seasonings and sweeteners will improve the flavor of your food, both fresh and packaged.
• Multivitamins Supplements will help replace the nutrients you would have consumed on a normal diet.

On Monday, a pitcher for the Texas Rangers named Dustin Nippert got hit in the head by a line drive, and I mean HARD. Nippert immediately dropped to the ground . . . as you'd expect. But he was okay.
Yesterday, the Rangers put him on the 15-day disabled list as a precaution
Yesterday, Whoopi Goldberg gave us a goldmine when she stumbled onto The View set—still drugged up on sedatives she used on a trans-Atlantic flight earlier this morning! Inside, video of her problems reading the teleprompter and non-nonsensical ramblings.
This is not to say that Whoopi was drugged on any kind of fun, recreational drugs—she's been very vocal about her fear of flying and how she needs sedation to get through a flight. Either way, it's a win for us—enjoy this hilarious mashup of Whoopi's best quotes and struggles to read the teleprompter from this morning's riveting episode. ---Gawker.com
Some guy in Yosemite, California named Paul "Yosemite Bear" Vasquez saw a "double rainbow" in his front yard in January, and he thought it was so beautiful, he freaked out and started crying. Then he posted the video on YouTube, and it's had millions of hits because of the guy's reaction.

NOW, Someone has used Autotune to make a MUSIC VIDEO and we think the result is hilarious (or, if our guess about this guy is correct- HIGHlarious)...

TK’s Guacamole Dip
5 medium avocados “all mooshed up”
1 medium onion finely chopped (I use half, if you like onion use it all)
2 Roma tomatoes chopped (I also use a can of Rotel with jalepenos as a substitute - careful, it adds spice!)
1 small handful of cilantro trimmed and chopped (my small handful yields about ¾ cup, your mileage may vary)
sliced jalapenos chopped (I pile a small mound of them on my cutting board- probably less than a quarter cup. If you like it spicy, use more!)
1 large or 2 smaller limes
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
Use a potato masher to “moosh” your avocados (my daughters do this for me- they work cheap!) in a medium to large mixing bowl. After chopping, add your other ingredients and a few pinches of salt to taste. Stir and finish off with the fresh-ground black pepper and juice of a lime. I juice mine right over the bowl to get the pulp as well as the juice. Watch the seeds!
Eat all of it! Nothing’s better than fresh Guac, but it may brown some in the fridge. (Note: Guacamole SHOULD be kept refrigerated)
FIVE NON-FOOD ITEMS THAT MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT:
Everyone knows that if you eat too much junk food, you'll gain weight. But there are some non-food-related reasons you gain weight too. Here are five that might surprise you . . .
#1.) LACK OF SLEEP. It slows down your metabolism. To prove it, "Glamour Magazine" told a group of women to get at least seven-and-a-half hours of sleep each night, but not make any changes to their diet or exercise routines.
--After ten weeks, almost all of them lost at least five pounds. And one woman lost FIFTEEN.
#2.) CONSTANT STRESS. This is something that can ALSO be caused by a lack of sleep. Stress makes your body produce a hormone called cortisol, which makes you transfer stored sugar from your liver and muscles into your bloodstream.
--That makes your insulin levels go up, which tells your body to store more fat.
#3.) STEROIDS. Not the kind athletes get caught using. The kind they give to livestock to make them grow faster. If a cow has steroids in its diet, and you eat the cow, YOU get those steroids too. Fat cows, and fat chickens equal fat people.
--Organic meat and dairy is more expensive, but it's a lot better for you. In fact, organic PRODUCE is better too. A lot of the pesticides they use on fruits and vegetables mess with your hormones and slow down your metabolism.
#4.) FOOD PACKAGING. Some plastics and the lining of some cans contain BPA and PVC, which slow your metabolism just like pesticides do.
--BPA stands for "bisphenol A" (--pronounced 'BIS-fe-noll A'). It's a compound they've used in hard plastic bottles and metal cans since the 1960s. And the FDA is still doing research to figure out how harmful it is.
--It's most dangerous for babies and young children, but you should avoid it too. Check the little triangle on the bottom of plastic bottles. If it has a number "7" or a number "3" in the middle of it, that means it has BPA.
|
#5.) AN UNDIAGNOSED FOOD ALLERGY. Rashes and chronic digestive problems are signs of a food allergy, but so is excess weight gain. Eating foods you're allergic to causes inflammation, which can make you retain fluids.
--If you think you have an undiagnosed food allergy, try eliminating some of the common triggers, like dairy, eggs, and wheat. And if that doesn't work, ask your doctor.
