  1. What is the measurement in Step 4? 3/4 what? Also, these take an hour to bake? the beef meatballs I make, which are slightly smaller than a golf ball, they are usually done in about 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees. Just wanting to make sure I don't over cook these. Thanks!

Bring on the Beet!

  http://thumbs.ifood.tv/files/images/food/beautiful-beet-01.jpg Top five reasons to eat beets: 1.       Lowers Cholesterol: Beets are very rich in fiber.

Beets can lower serum cholesterol by 30 to 40%! The removal of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) cholesterol decreases the chances of a heart attack, stroke, or heart disease.

We obtain Vitamin D from our diets as well as is consumed in our diets as well as made in the body. Vitamin D2 is manufactured by plants while Vitamin D3 is manufactured in our skin when exposed to ultraviolet-B (UVB) rays from sunlight. Since Vitamin D is made in the skin, it interacts with sunlight. Therefore, there is a natural tendency for many individuals to make less Vitamin D3 in the winter months. This can be compensated by consuming plant sources which synthesize Vitamin D2. Monterey mushrooms, for example are a great source of Vitamin D. It is important to continuously monitor our Vitamin D levels. Increasing our intake of Vitamin D during the winter months will aid the body in maintaining our Vitamin D levels and prevent the drop during the winter months.
