In 2023, only 4% of Americans said they were vegetarian. But fully 42% of adults say that they want to adopt a more plant-based diet — focusing on getting the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables (that’s five to seven) and reducing their dependency on meat by using fish like salmon for animal-sourced proteins.
That’s good news — everyone benefits from a plant-based diet’s ability to reduce chronic inflammation and the intake of saturated fat (if you avoid overprocessed, fatty and fried plant-based foods). And a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that looked at decades of data on over 48,000 women reveals another advantage. Women who get most of their protein through a plant-based diet increase their chances of aging healthfully — physically, cognitively and emotionally — by a whopping 46%. |

One of my husband’s favorite dishes when we dine out is
Baked Stuffed Shrimp. I decided to bring the restaurant experience home and created a simple version that is tender, with a moist flavorful stuffing.
Departing from the usual crab and cracker stuffing, I opted for chopped mushrooms. The mushrooms prevent the shrimp from drying out in the oven. For the best result, be sure to press the stuffing firmly onto the shrimp before baking.
Serve the shrimp with some microwaved brown rice for a quick dinner.

Hosting a Big Game watch party? By following the playbook of BBQ experts, you’ll have your friends and family cheering for your game day spread.
“The trick to achieving tasty BBQ is real smoke flavor. And to get real smoke flavor, you need quality, natural hardwoods, with or without a pellet grill,” says Levi Strayer, of Bear Mountain BBQ, “Start grilling with pellets, and everyone will immediately taste the difference. It’s a game changer.”
With that philosophy in mind, Bear Mountain BBQ ambassador Jennifer Danella is sharing two BBQ winning recipes. Both incorporate the brand’s premium pellets to bring unbeatable flavor to the table. |
