Make Your Taco Tuesday Healthy With More Fiber
SUMMARY: Tacos are a universal favorite, beloved by both children and adults. They are a staple on Taco Tuesday in many households and serve as a customizable meal option for gatherings. Planning a nutritious meal involves considering the necessary dietary fibers, often lacking in average American diets. Women typically need about 25 grams of fiber per day, while men need 35-38 grams; yet, most fall short, only consuming 10-15 grams. Fiber is crucial for gut health, lowering cholesterol, and reducing colon cancer risk, found only in plant foods. To boost fiber in tacos, consider using plant-based proteins like lentils instead of or alongside meat and incorporating fiber-rich vegetable toppings. Lentils are economical and offer a similar texture to ground meat, making them a healthy, budget-friendly addition to tacos. Customizing the seasoning and adding homemade pico de gallo or guacamole can further enhance the nutritional value of your taco night.

SUMMARY: Every good biscuit is made with love, and Natchez, Mississippi, holds the title of Biscuit Capital of the World since 2008, home to Chef Regina Charboneau, the Queen of Biscuits. Raised in Natchez, Charboneau pursued culinary experiences nationwide, opening Biscuits and Blues in San Francisco and returning home to establish a culinary legacy. Natchez celebrated IHOP's biscuit menu addition in 2023, enhancing its biscuit fame. Chef Charboneau's secret lies in her unique biscuit technique involving a mix of margarine and butter, with laminated dough for flaky layers. She shares her skills at her Saturday brunch and cooking classes.

SUMMARY: In coastal Mississippi, residents brace themselves each year for Deer Fly season in May, following the Sand Fly season in March. These pests, known for their buzzing and biting, are a significant nuisance, targeting exposed skin, particularly around the head due to their attraction to heat. Deer flies, which females require blood, thrive in the area's marshlands, feasting on various mammals, including humans. Despite the lack of effective chemical deterrents, residents employ creative strategies like using insect nets or sticky traps to combat these flies. These efforts, while somewhat effective, also inadvertently provide a form of exercise and a shared experience for the community, humorously dubbed the “Deer Fly dance”.
