Quick recipes for healthy holiday appetizers | HOUSTON LIFE | KPRC

 

registered dietitian Marla Murphy with the blonde pantry easy name to remember you’re going to show us how it’s done right yes ma’am so first up we have some rosemary nuts and they’re so delicious I’ve been eating super easy just almonds pecans rosemary thyme a little bit of coconut oil and some salt you just bake them in the oven for about ten minutes and then you can just serve them hot or let them cool it’s super super easy and it’s a great low carb appetizer and bursting with flavor I love that Rose Mary and Marlow you were saying this would be great to take as a last minute gift because we’re all so overloaded with sugar during the holidays this is a healthy option yes and a half of my family members are on the keto diet so I always like to bring something that they can also eat and enjoy and it’s not gonna completely derail their healthy habits that they have going on and you’re obviously practicing what you preach because trying to absolutely I love those those are delicious now what is this so these are quinoa broccoli cheddar bites and they’re kind of a take on your old you know rice casserole that your mom used to make super easy to make you make your quinoa chop your onions chop your broccoli two eggs a little bit of cheddar cheese mix them in and then you’re gonna bake them in the oven for 15 minutes anything with quinoa I’m in yes and I love these these are so easy and they’re healthy great like after-school snacks for kids and that sort of thing so I love to take these people are always like really surprised about the flavor oh those are delicious and you just save them in the fridge like how do you store them yes you can storm in the fridge in like an airtight container and then whenever you want to eat them you just open it up stick them in the microwave and reheat that oh that’s good they’re good even cold good good so next up we have our kale pomegranate and avocado salad but y’all are actually going to help me prepare some of this so Derrick if you will work on cutting the avocado and the pears oh you trust me and then you will help me with all of the dressing ingredients that we have Lezama vinegar is gonna toss some yes ma’am and then you’ll just mix together by cutting all this by the way no you can just cut like half of one get that pit out dirt oh the pit yeah let’s see if I can do it depends on how good job and then for this we’re using a little bit of garlic salt pepper and Dijon mustard okay just any Dijon yes ma’am and then mix them together and then we’re gonna pour that over our salad I’m also gonna go ahead and add the pistachios and you can add any nut but I think pistachios are so unexpected and people don’t use them a lot in a salad so that’s a good option and then just sort pomegranate seeds as well well and they’re pretty this time of year combine it with the pomegranate and you just got instant holidays alright gonna dress it on there that looks awesome did you say I’m cutting the pear – too late already okay excellent and then about how much parent avocado Marla are we adding so it depends on how many people you’re serving but if it’s just one or two people I would just do half and then what’s so great is if you leave the pit in your avocado put like a wet paper towel over it and a little bit of foil you can actually save the other half of the avocado it’s amazing how that works I don’t understand the chemistry but it does prevent it from turning brown right look at you go we’re coming to your house for dinner I know it’s I used to cook Wow oh dear see I’m dropping stuff all right it looks great does you know it’s not too bad and your avocados somehow Marla these are ripe to perfection and then we’ll just mix it together and serve it so y’all don’t want to taste-test it for me absolutely hey baby you know pomegranates yeah well and it really is a nice change too because I think that again during the holidays a lot of people will default to like sugary snacks the desserts the high fattening foods imagining the January and the resolutions are just around the corner or even like a Caesar salad or something like that it’s not super healthy so this is kind of you know I always like to bring the foods that I would like to eat and so that’s why we kind of choose the healthier options to bring with me when I go somewhere Marla this is too thank you so much for

hoho heartburn how to prevent it before you even sit down for that family feast the holiday travel rush begins from the roads to the skies and we have you covered and a special send-off for one member of the Channel 2 family Friday morning on channel 2 news today well here’s something to smile about this holiday season whiter teeth lifestyle expert Amie Vanderhoff explains Amy welcome back to the show thank you so much you know that TV people maybe there’s not a lot of sleep we work long hours Courtney and I guilty of drinking a whole lot of coffee that’s a number on the teeth though that is and you know I want you to drink your coffee I want you to eat your chocolate and have your wine but big news is right now everybody wants whiter and brighter teeth and there has been issues with teeth whitening in the past and this was created by a dentist to really take care of those issues you know if it stains a coffee cup it’s gonna stain your teeth and we want teeth whitening to be easy we want it to perform on expectations we want not to have those zingers and the awful pain sometimes teeth whitening is associated with and we want instant gratification with power swabs two shades whiter in the first application up to six shades whiter after a week this is also in home you don’t have to go anywhere and you say it’s super easy and it’s super easy it’s so easy that I’m going to walk and talk and do it at the same time here okay so first step it’s a swab you are gonna put this on your teeth nice pleasant taste no rinsing no spitting and what this is doing it’s hydrating your teeth but it’s lifting off the stains what kind of pleasant taste is it like a minty minty yes exactly like a minty it’s derived from coconut oil and so you’re going to slide this on your teeth leave it on for a few minutes again hydrating the teeth that is why you’re not getting those painful sensitivity zingers as I like to call them and after you do this it works on caps crowns and veneers that is so important to mention because that has been a huge innovation in the teeth-whitening industry then you go in with your second step this is the whitening swab this is the power you’re gonna do this and glide it right on your teeth again no we’re in singing no spitting leave it on for two minutes and under five minutes up to two shades whiter you do this every day for a week up to six shades whiter and we love these before-and-afters because this is such a big thing now we’ve digitally enhanced this video just to kind of make the point or your address high but some people think they’re they were doing pretty good with their teeth until they see the whiter brighter smile I think I’m okay my teeth are alright but you can see with whiter teeth how much healthier fresher more approachable she looks same with this guy you might see the first picture and think he’s doing alright until you see a whiter cleaner healthier smile who would you rather kiss hang out with drink that coffee with in the morning right I think it’s him same with the woman there you know white teeth or a sign of not only healthy but of youth and it’s such an instant thing that we can do nothing breaks my heart more when we look at these pictures when I see people opting out of photos because of their smile right I’ll take the camera I’ll take the photo for you guys because they’re they don’t want to smile we’re smiling without the teeth right the closed mouth smile yeah if they do get in the photo what are they doing they’re digitally enhancing it and post with their filters there right with their whitening their teeth they’re fixing it on their phones on that image you can do this in real life and the smile is the basically the first impression so if you’re not comfortable you’re kind of spreading those vibes that you’re just not comfortable you don’t like the way you look it’s really hard and self-conscious for people of course and you know not everybody’s teeth are straight and perfect and it doesn’t matter what state your teeth are in right now if you have a healthier whiter brighter smile you’re gonna feel better about yourself you’re going to present better and you’re just gonna look healthier and that’s the real big buzzword and Amy I know you just showed us how the application is done but let’s hear from some people who have been using the products I would just you know do the power swabs just right before bedtime and yeah it was really easy took less than five minutes and I’ve noticed a really big result so I’m really happy with it after just seven days the results were awesome power swabs was easy to use every day and each day I could see it better and better and from beginning to end it’s definitely wider they look clean they feel clean and people have made comments about it which is nice oh sweet showing off his smile this is multi-generational right so it’s for young people because guess what men’s teeth tend to be more yellow than women’s teeth they do – yes it’s one thing that we have up on the men ladies and so who knew men use that women use it but it’s every generation can use this and feel better and younger and have that healthier smile and you can see you might think you’re doing alright you might think my teeth aren’t so yellow but when you see two shades white or take that picture when you use power swabs see the progression of the six shades whiter in seven days it is truly there’s a huge difference huge difference okay so a couple shades wider with the first application six shades in seven days what are we looking at right here this is the comparison chart because teeth whitening typically does work across the board with different procedures but at what cost some of them cost a lot of money our painful sensitivity some are messy or have an icky flavor to it so again power swabs was created by a dentist he saw and need in this marketplace and he thought I can do this better I could do this cheaper I can do this with better ingredients and instant gratification which is what we want when we get a product nothing is worse when we get something and they say you know by the 11th week after you use two bottles of this you’re really going to start seeing an improvement we want it now we want instant gratification and I know you do too and we’re talking about a special offer which is really great up to 40% off today that’s right up to 40% off so I always say buy more than one because you’re not gonna want to keep the secret to yourself re-gift give it to everybody in your life as well who you think would benefit from that whiter healthier smile and we’re gonna throw in free shipping as well oh we love free shipping there’s the info right there on your screen power swabs calm is the website you can
