Recipe of the month

 

Mashed Cauliflower

• 1/2 pound cauliflower florets,    chopped (2 2/3 cups)


• 1 yukon gold potato, peeled and cubed

 

• 1 garlic clove, smashed


• 1/3 cup chicken broth


• 1/2 teaspoon salt


• 2 tablespoons milk


• 1 teaspoon Smart Balance

     Buttery Spread


1. Simmer cauliflower, potato, garlic, broth, and salt in a small saucepan, covered, until cauliflower and potato are      very tender, about 10 -20 minutes.

 

2. When tender, remove from heat.

 

3. Mash with a potato masher, ricer or a fork.

 

4. Add milk and Smart Balance and continue to mash until smooth and combined. Add salt.

 

5. If more moisture is needed you may add more milk or broth.

 

This dish works great with anything that you would serve mashed potatoes with.

 

ENJOY!

Exercise of the month

Bridge on the Ball

Benefits:

  • Strengthens Gluteals & Hamstrings
  • Improves Balance
  • Strengthens Core

 

How to do this exercise:

 

(Always be sure to check with your Dr before performing this or any other new exercise especially if you have heart problems, high or low blood pressure, back or neck problems or are pregnant)

  1. Place ball on the floor and lie down as shown above. Make sure you are centered with the ball.

  2. Heels on the ball. Arms can be out to the side as shown for more balance or closer to your body for more of a challenge.

  3. Zip your abs. Think of lengthening your body out through the top of your head and out through your heels.

  4. Keep your body long and straight as a plank. Exhale as you lift your behind off the floor, inhale and lower. Continue 10-20 times.

  5. The most important thing is stability.
