Heart Shaped Cookie Cutter for All Things February
 
Make February fun, yet simple by employing a simple heart shaped cookie cutter. From lunch box hacks to easy classroom hacks, you will love these ingenious uses for such a simple kitchen tool. Don’t be afraid to start early and pack lunches with heart shaped cucumbers, cheese and meat slices, and sandwiches. For those classroom parties, use your cookie cutter to make heart shaped pieces of fruit to make a fresh contribution to the festivities. Finally, if you’ve decided to make it a family night on Valentine’s Day, opt for heart shaped quesadillas, hand pies or mini meat loaves. Crafts abound using a simple cookie cutter, from heart shaped pin cushions to candles.

Asparagus
 
Asparagus is a non-starchy vegetable containing fiber, potassium, and B vitamins. When buying this green and stem-like vegetable, look for firm stalks and compact buds that will ensure desired tenderness. Note that size does not affect tenderness. Asparagus is typically available year-round at U.S. grocery stores, but it is at its peak seasonality during the spring. Including asparagus into a rotating meal plan can afford many benefits such as easy prep with multiple cooking options. Notably, between twenty and forty percent of the population has the genetic disposition to smell sulfur byproducts that are excreted following a meal that includes asparagus. While everyone emits the generally same byproducts, not everyone has the gene allowing them to smell them.

How Mindless Eating Contributes to Over or Under Eating
 
Mindless eating can be caused by a myriad of factors from irregular eating times to the use of devices while eating. Consequently, this mindless eating can make it difficult for adults and children to recognize hunger and fullness cues that are integral to adequately fueling the body. Mindful eating, on the other hand, enhances hunger and fullness cues while also aiding in meal satisfaction. When mindful eating occurs, more of the body’s senses can be used and the body can respond more effectively to the nourishment is receives. Setting general mealtimes, offering plated snacks, and encouraging minimum distraction during meals are just a few ways to encourage mindful eating. Benefits include fewer mealtime struggles at the table and the avoidance of overeating.
