Full StoryBeer and Food Pairing at Fish
This story was written by member birdsflyinghigh and comes from the Savory Sights group in the YumSugar Community . I have read non-stop in all of the cooking magazines about beer and food pairings. So last night my husband and I finally attended our first beer and food pairing at Fish in Sausalito. Fish is a great casual joint all about sustainable fishing, local products and, of course, really good food too! We had their prix fixe with four different courses and five different beers!

Full StoryTreat Belly Bloat With Whole Grains
Here’s another reason to eat whole grains: it will help put an end to the dreaded belly bloat . Eating too many refined grains like white rice, enriched pasta, or white bread slows down your digestive tract, which causes that bloated feeling. I don’t know about you, but I hate getting dressed when my belly is full of air. For the next few weeks, swap out any refined grains in your diet with whole grains, and see if you notice a difference. Whole grains are full of fiber, which helps keep us “regular” and our digestive tract moving along at a normal pace. By doing this, you should find that you’ll have much more energy during the day since your body won’t be working overtime to digest food. I know that eating whole wheat pasta may not sound delicious, but there are a lot of easy and tasty swaps you can make instead. Choose whole wheat bread over white, and eat a whole grain cereal like Kashi or muesli . I also love the taste of quinoa, which is a hearty grain filled with fiber. Why not try this curried quinoa salad for dinner tonight

Full StoryBanana Bread
When life gives you too many ripe bananas, OnSugar blog Stir Me Sweet suggests you do as the Aussies do and make quick and easy banana bread . Since moving to Australia I have discovered one of the main things that sets Aussies apart from Kiwis when it comes to culinary preferences - banana bread! It’s everywhere and so very addictive. I’ve come to the conclusion that the reason banana bread is so popular in Australia and almost non-existent in New Zealand is due to the rate that bananas ripen and become inedible, yet suitable for baking in Australia. Just a theory. So of course I had to find a perfect recipe to make at home. I’m not sure if this is perfect, but if it isn’t I’d love for you to share your recipes with me! See how she makes her version of the specialty when you read more.
