What’s In Your Food?

Did you know the average person may have up to 700 harmful chemicals in their body at any given time? Whether it’s exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide or ozone in busy cities or increased exposure to pesticides in rural America, the truth about these common toxins may surprise you.

Dr. Jeffrey Morrison, among other health professionals, agrees that common toxins found in our foods could be the catalyst behind feelings of exhaustion, joint and muscle pain, weight gain, and even rapid aging. Pesticides found in non-organic foods are absorbed into our bodies and affect the way our cells work which can leave us feeling tired and sick.

Pesticides are used in mass produced foods to diminish damage to the crop from bugs as well as other pesky plants like weeds. One common misconception is that simply washing foods prior to eating or preparing them will protect the consumer when in reality even cooking or boiling the food is often not enough to eliminate the health risks.

Food pesticides leave residue on produce that, despite your best efforts, may impact the health and over all well-being of you and your family. In the Food Quality Protection Act the EPA describes what is considered to be a tolerable amount of pesticide residue as foods with “reasonable certainty of no harm”.

When it comes to the health of you and your family, “reasonable certainty” simply doesn’t pass the Passanante’s Home Food Service quality test. Choosing clean, wholesome and organic foods is the only way to eliminate these harmful chemicals from your diet.

Passanante’s delivers pesticide and hormone-free produce and meats to thousands of families across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. To find out how to get delicious food delivered to your home give us a call at 1-800-772-7786 today!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Loaf of rye bread
  • 1 to 1.5 Pounds deli slices corned beef or pastrami
  • 1 Stick melted butter
  • 1 Chopped yellow onion
  • French’s yellow mustard
  • Horseradish sauce from deli
  • 1- 1.5 Pounds baby swiss cheese, sliced
  • 1 Can sauerkraut

How to prepare Hot Pastrami Sandwiches:

  1. Take your loaf apart in sandwich pairs and lay them out.
  2. In a skillet melt the butter and toss the onions until clear. Add about 3 tablespoons of mustard.
  3. Load both pieces of bread with cheese and corned beef or pastrami.
  4. On one piece, spread the onion mixture with the horseradish sauce, and finally layer on sauerkraut and “close” the sandwich together. Layering the sandwich with the wet ingredients in the middle will keep it from getting soggy.
  5. Optional: Lightly brush a little melted butter over the tops of the sandwiches for added crispiness.
  6. Place sandwiches in baking pans and bake at 400 degrees until cheese melts and bread begins to turn golden brown.
  7. Serve with homemade baked potato soup and enjoy.

Super Bowl XLVIII

Tomorrow is a big day for all of us… that’s right, we’re talking about Super Bowl XLVIII. We’ve compiled our top 5 Super Bowl party tips to ensure your party goes down in football party history.

1. It’s all about the presentation. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the jersey you’ll wear, the beers you’ll serve and friends you’ll invite – but don’t forget about the atmosphere. Every great Super Bowl party boasts some awesome football-themed decorations. Check out our Super Bowl Pinterest board for a ton of great Super Bowl party decor ideas!

2. Offer a variety of portable snacks. When hosting a group of friends for the biggest game of the year, you have to make sure your snack spreads offer enough flexibility for your guests to really enjoy themselves. Instead of a traditional veggie tray, opt for individual clear plastic cups with ranch dressing in the bottom with carrot and celery sticks stuck inside. Maybe personalized pizza cones, custom kabobs or even mini mac n cheese muffins! (Also shown on our Pinterest board)

3. Don’t forget the meat! If you’re a Passanante’s Home Food Service customer, this next tip is going to be incredibly easy for you — just go into your freezer and grab a few packages of your favorite hormone-free meats! Delicious beef sliders, ball park hot dogs, short ribs, cheddar and jalapeño German bratwurst or fully cooked BBQ chicken wings – there are just so many options! Put some thought into your Super Bowl party meat spread this year and check out some of our great recipes like Tailgate Steaks.

4. Keep it interesting, play your own games! Celebrations.com had some awesome ideas for ways to make a game out of Super Bowl commercials.
