Today I’ve got a quick way for you to save over 360 calories in one of your favorite meals. Are you a pasta lover? Who isn’t these days. With the high population around Ramsey being Italian, there are more than a good share of pasta eaters around.
An average cup of pasta contains around 400 calories. The average pasta meal at any food chain restaurant is over 1000 calories. That probably means around 2+ cups of pasta, and then sauce. Think about that the next you visit one of Ramseys restaurants: Olive Garden, Fridays, Chilis, or Macaroni Grill on Rt 17.
Each plate contains 1 cup.
Last night I decided to give something a try that I’ve heard good things about. You’ve probably seen from the headline what it is: spaghetti squash. Inside I’ve got a good video about cooking, and my own take on this dish.

As I am browsing my Facebook page today I came across something very funny and interesting. It seems we’ve got another case of lying companies to sell their product on our hands, and it is from the same company: Kellogg’s. If you remember earlier when I was speaking to you about the cocoa crispies and how Kellogg’s is claiming that they are healthy.
Well it seems we can add another crazy marketing lying scheme to the mix. When I was browsing my Facebook page I found a post from a nutrition expert Chris Mohr with a link to the box for the Kellogg’s Froot Loops.
So what could it be this time? Do Froot Loops have healing properties, or do they suddenly boost immunity to fight colds and disease? No that is not the case it seems but rather Kellogg’s is labeling their Froot Loops box with a big banner and the huge word “fiber.” Now it is true that Kellogg’s Froot Loops have about 3 g of fiber, minimal at best. But what’s really sad is their tactical phrase written underneath of the word fiber.
Underneath the humongous word fiber in much smaller letters but still big enough to read it says “a great way to keep kids healthy.” Now it is true that fiber is good for you. Fiber is found in lots of different vegetables and fruits that are really nutritious and healthy for you eat. These fruits and vegetables contain fiber, are natura,l and not only provide us with fiber but give us vitamins and minerals.
Do you think that Kellogg’s Froot Loops are also providing you with the same nutritional benefits? Well if we look at the ingredient list for a box of Kellogg’s Froot Loops, we can see the number one ingredient is none other than sugar. Ingredient number two is whole-grain corn flour (basically more sugar). So really the first two ingredients you have are sugar. If you know anything about nutrition labels then you know that the ingredients that are listed first make up the majority of the product.

Have you heard about the health benefits of Cocoa Puffs cereal? The latest news out about Kelloggs Cocoa Puffs is that it boosts childrens immunity. Of course it is according to the Kellogg company. I recently heard about this on www.naturalnews.com and was shocked and appalled, yet laughing at the same time. This is ridiculous.
First it was Cheerios with its ridiculous claims that it Lowered Cholesterol. Cheerios doesnt lower cholesterol, more fiber in your diet does. And the measely 3 grams that a bowl of Cheerios provides doesn’t really outweigh all the other crap you’re getting from them.
So I shot this quick video on my webcam letting you know how I feel about this subject. Not happy I tell you that.

In October Ramsey held an event near the train station called, A Taste of Ramsey. It was an event organized by councilwoman Vanessa Jachzel. This event was the 2nd annual, where the event from 2008 had about 400 people show up. This year it was estimated that over 1,000 people came out for fun and festivities. The Taste of Ramsey is an interesting event in which local restaurants and other food services bring out their dishes for residents to try outside of their own location. Sort of like a mobile restaurant.
Well there were restaurants such as: Apolo’s Restaurant, Brady’s at the Station, Cafe Panache, Chez Dominique, King Pizza, Jersey Burgers, Pub 17, Ramsey Corner Cafe, Ramsey Golf & Country Club, Sweet Station, and Varka Estiatorio. The Tasting portion of the day came in the afternoon. In the morning there was a farmers market and some other tent areas selling various items. We were able to pick up some delicious bread from one of the vendors from New York.
