We Have Information on Gluten-Free and Several Other Unique Diets Available For Your Family.

Gluten Free

What does following a gluten-free diet mean? That you're embarking on an easy diet with a wide range of health-promoting effects. Instead of dwelling on what you’re giving up, consider that you’re going to enjoy a whole new world of delicious food options to meet your special dietary needs. You’ll be eating seasonally, choosing more fresh fruits and vegetables, focusing on meats, seafood, poultry, legumes, lentils, corn, and rice, and discovering fascinating ancient grains such as quinoa, amaranth, and millet. You’ll be able to eat potatoes, eggs, most cheeses, even chocolate (!)—and enjoy them without guilt because you’ll be taking good care of your body. In fact, you’ll probably end up eating—and feeling—better than ever!

Raw Foods

“Raw” is all the rage these days, but what does it mean to eat raw? And is it possible to get enough protein and other nutrients while following a raw diet?

Raw foods are those that have not been heated above 108°F to 118°F

Raw, defined

Most raw foodists eat only plant-based (vegan) foods, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, and seaweed. Raw foods are those that have not been heated above 108°F to 118°F, depending on who you talk to. The logic behind this is that many of the nutrients in foods are extremely sensitive to heat. This is especially true of the water-soluble vitamins, like the B-vitamins, folate, and vitamin C. As Katie McDonald, a raw food chef and certified Holistic Health Coach in Rhode Island puts it, “The more you do to a food, the less it does for you.”

Raw food advocates also look to the enzyme content of raw foods, saying that cooking destroys delicate enzymes that could otherwise go toward improving the digestion of the foods you’re eating.

Tuscan Halibut in Foil

Ingredients

  • 4 5 ounce halibut steaks, skin removed

  • salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 1 small zucchini, cut in quarters lengthwise, then sliced in 1/4-inch slices

  • 1 small yellow squash, cut in quarters lengthwise, then sliced in 1/4-inch slices

  • 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp dried basil

Kalamata olives, basil, and Parmesan bring a taste of Tuscany to the halibut fillets.

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F. Cut four 12-inch square pieces of aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Pat the halibut steaks dry with paper towels. Place one steak in the middle of each piece of aluminum foil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Combine the zucchini, squash, olives, cheese, olive oil, and basil in a bowl. Divide the mixture evenly and place on top of the halibut steaks (about 1/2 cup per serving). Fold the foil and seal the edges with narrow folds.
  • Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 18 minutes.
  • Open the packets (be careful of the steam!), place on individual plates, and serve immediately.
