Today I found out that some people genuinely believe artificial food dyes cause adhd and cancer??? How do you come to that conclusion. 99% of the junk food we eat has artificial food dyes and last I checked most people who eat a lot of junk food don’t have cancer??? Or adhd????
#it’s giving the vaccines will give me autism#but on a much more silly level#still stupid and ableist but also it’s food dyes oh my fucking god dude#some of the alternatives I saw were like ‘use blue corn as a substitute for food dye! or turmeric as a sub!’#so many places told me to use beets as food coloring who in this world genuinely eats beets#people usually use food dye instead of alternatives because it’s easier and also usually flavorless. meanwhile beets taste like beets#and therefore your cake will taste like beets#one place said fo use squid ink or a c t i v a t e d c h a r c o a l as a sub for black food dye#I’m pretty sure putting activated charcoal into your body is more harmful than food dyes my guy#even if it wasn’t that won’t taste good#madurday night live

Do that last one about Drunk weddings for the Sole Survivor, too. I may have my biases, but Fallout 4 can have a little love, as a treat.
Cait: "Don't be makin' so much noise in the back if you aren't going to share, you hear?"
Prior to her journey into Vault 95, Cait is just as stumbling drunk as the sole survivor, giggling with reckless abandon and daring guests to go a round with her outside the venue. She enlists the sole survivor to help her change out of her dress to make good on these bare-knuckle boxing promises, but the two of them wind up forgetting about the whole thing and singing loudly over the music on the dance floor. Post-sobriety, Cait heckles the sole survivor after they pass the point of no return, but she abstains in favor of demolishing Piper's gifted stash of Nuka-Cola.
Curie: "Do not indulge too much, mon glaçon. Excess of drink is the cause of many health problems."
Curie, ever the picture of innocent poise, laughs politely when the sole survivor starts making outbursts at the party, then corners them in the bathroom when she's free and insists they drink several glasses of water and eat some mirelurk cake hors d'oeuvres in front of her. She enlists Danse to help her carry the sole survivor to bed when they finally wear themselves out, and she does it all without staining or ripping her dress.
Danse: [speechless, awkward blushing]
Paladin Danse turns beet red when the sole survivor climbs onto a chair to get the party's attention for a toast, and dashes to their side when they start to wobble. To him, a wedding is no reason to let down his guard and drink, but the rest of his Brotherhood brethren don't share that viewpoint: Particularly Proctor Teagan, who is just as far in as the sole survivor. Once embarrassed, Danse tries to stay on the opposite end of the room, and steers his new spouse clear as well. He will give up his avoidance tactics if asked to dance, though.
Deacon: "Everyone drink up, we're trying to erase any memory of this get-together in case the Institute captures us and demands to know what menu and color scheme we picked."
Given his career and his own personal history, Deacon insists on having a small affair with close friends over a large shindig. He's mostly joking about forgetting the party- or is he?- but either way, he's handing out bottles of Bobrov's Best like it's going out of business. Valentine keeps side-eyeing him and calling him an "enabler," but Deacon couldn't care less.
Hancock: "Cheers to you, cheers to me, cheers to us and the whole fucking Commonwealth!"
The sole survivor's drunk? Good, so is Hancock. Like Deacon, the mayor of Goodneighbor is handing out bottles of booze left and right, along with palming chems to anyone in the Third Rail who looks too mellow. Whitechapel Charlie complains loudly when the groom and the sole survivor start dancing on the bar, but Hancock does not care one whit about property damage on his special day. That is, unless someone starts getting fresh with Magnolia.
MacCready: "So when I said partnering up with you beat drinking myself blind in Goodneighbor, that wasn't me saying we should switch spots, boss."
MacCready is too overwhelmed with disbelieving happiness on his big day to care if the sole survivor is wrecking shop. He's too busy staring at his new spouse holding Duncan and laughing with joy to notice the sole survivor spilling drinks on other guests, but he will perk up if they manage to hijack the jukebox. He'll roll his eyes, switch the song back to something more to his taste, and then drag the sole survivor onto the dance floor to work off some of their excess energy.
Valentine: "Gonna water that battery acid down with anything, or do I need to tell Vadim to cut you off?"
The synth detective takes in the sole survivor's antics with a wry smile before pulling them aside to make sure they're going to behave for the rest of the night. Any further shenanigans will earn them a withering frown from across the party. Rather than leave his new partner's side, he enlists Ellie and Piper's help in strong-arming them away from the moonshine supply and out into the fresh air for a bit.
Piper: "Really, Blue, on my wedding day? I don't do many editorial cartoons, but I think this might warrant one."
Piper has roses blooming in her own cheeks from drinking, but she'll insist the sole survivor switch to Nuka-Cola, park them in a chair next to her and toss tongue twisters at them until they can recite them back to her straight. Like MacCready and Danse, she will also accept some impressive dance moves as penance for their crime of disrupting the celebration, but if she starts dancing too, she'll slip quickly into the same territory of overdoing it.
Preston: "No thanks, but you keep going. We'll see whose head feels better come sunrise."
On the opposite end of the scale from Deacon, Preston doesn't want to forget a second of this day and is therefore abstaining. His Minutemen compatriots aren't though, so the sole survivor fits right in with the crowd. Ever the model of manners, Preston will join in on their drunken rendition of Dion's "The Wanderer," but he'll just as quickly bow out to go grab his new spouse a drink, chair, snack or anything else they might need.
X6-88: "Strange. The sensation leaves me unbalanced, but... warm. Perhaps the SRB was right to restrict substances such as this."
The Courser is puzzled the first time the sole survivor hands him a drink, but he accepts it and downs the lot admirably, shaking his head at the taste. He likes the way it makes him feel for a little bit, but learns quickly that if he keeps going, he'll wind up draped over the nearest furniture like the former vault dweller. Once the sole survivor is hiccupping and incoherent, he easily hoists them over his shoulder and deposits them as far away from the liquor supply as he can, ignoring the impressed cheers of Deacon and MacCready.
BONUS!
Gage: "No, I don't care if it was brewed in a settlement, that stuff'll knock you on your ass just as well as the beer that's been sitting still for 200 years."
Porter Gage has been dry for decades, and his own wedding isn't going to be enough to ruin that streak. Seeing as he's pals with a whole bunch of raiders, he can't well keep the rest of them from indulging, but he can sure as hell protest if the sole survivor tries to push a bottle on him. Repeated inquiries will earn them a black eye, but he'll let them steal his eyepatch for the rest of the night as condolence.
Longfellow: "Here's to full glasses an' fulsome lasses, ain't that right, honey? Bottoms up!"
There's not much to do on the island when you live alone, other than get really good at your hobbies and drink. Old Longfellow lives accordingly, and he can out-swig anyone attending his little party, including the sole survivor. By the end of the night, those who dared to pick up a glass around the man are under the table, while Longfellow is still singing sweet, fully-coherent lullabies to his new gal beneath the glow of the bottle lanterns. Knowing him, she's probably just as seasoned at drinking as he is.
Maxson: "Dull senses make for poor soldiers, but I suppose we can set our weapons aside for one evening."
Any Brotherhood of Steel Elder's marriage is a huge deal, and subsequently warrants a huge celebration. Alcohol flows freely at such parties, and any drunken behavior on the sole survivor's behalf is probably drowned out by hundreds of other Knights, Scribes and Lancers acting foolish too. Like Longfellow, Maxson holds his own in contest with everyone else, but doesn't push those around him to keep up. Anyone counting his drinks can't help but wonder where he's putting it. If the sole survivor's not too far gone, they can spot him dumping his glasses after a sip or two to keep up the mythic image, but he'll swear them to secrecy.
Desdemona: "Being able to take a moment to breathe can be just as vitally important for an organization as resupply missions or exterminations. Stop touching my hair."
The Railroad leader appreciates being able to cut loose, but she's still too paranoid to trust any glass handed to her and favors the flask inside her ballistic weave-armored dress that she fills herself. Once relaxed, this is the only time she'll allow the sole survivor and friends to get rowdy and fawn over her in the least. Liquored-up compliments on her outfit, her leadership abilities and her organization are fair game, but any probing into her personal background will result in her simply standing up and walking away.

Wolfstar Chapter 12
A/N: Here’s what you need to know: I created this story for Writer’s Month 2020. Every day is a new prompt, and therefore a new chapter. This is an AU Wolfstar where Remus is a tattoo artist next door to Sirius who manages a flower shop. James and Lily are alive in this universe and own a coffee shop across the street. And to make parts of the story work with the prompts, Remus is about 10 years older than Sirius. It also takes place more or less in present time, minus Covid-19.
This is chapter 12 of a multi-chapter work. If you’d like to start from the beginning, here is chapter 1.
Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters. I just like to play with them.
Day 12 Prompt: Meet Cute
Rating: Teen and Up
Word Count: 1854
Tags: flashback
Chapter 12
Remus
David Bowie, “When I Met You”
You actually become the center of my world
The seams of my life
The streams of daydream
Like the wounds of a friend
Remus leaned back in his favorite chair. He wanted to read but found his eyes glazing over and rereading the same page at least three times. Giving it up, he closed the book and tossed it on the table next to his long forgotten cup of tea. He crossed his legs, setting his right ankle on his left knee, and steepled his fingers under his chin.
With helping Sirius go through everything the last couple months, Remus had been thinking more about the day he moved in here.
It was mid-morning. Remus stood in the living room of his new flat above what would be his new tattoo parlor. He placed his hands on his hips and took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of cleaning supplies used by the last owner. With a swish of his wand, his magically shrunk packing boxes grew with a POP. This was what he needed. New start, new place, new life. His old place was...too full of painful memories.
He levitated boxes into the rooms to which they belonged. First he set up his bedroom. If nothing else, he needed a place to sleep tonight. By the time he finished the bedroom, it was afternoon, and his stomach was reminding him that he had missed lunch. There was a cafe across the street he had noticed, maybe they had something decent.
The bitter scent of coffee and warm yeasty bread invaded his senses when he entered.
“Good afternoon! Welcome to Potter’s Wheel!” a red-headed woman greeted him when he entered.
Remus gave her a friendly head nod and glanced at the menu board over the order counter. It was designed to look like a chalk board with different chalk colors. The Potter's Wheel Cafe served a full offering of coffee and caffeine laced beverages, as well as soup, sandwich, and salad specials. They also had a quick take-away cooler with simple premade sandwiches, fruit, and vegetables. Today’s specials appeared to be a turkey club on a kaiser bun, broccoli cheese soup with croutons, and a beet salad with feta cheese.
“Erm…” Remus stepped up to the counter, uncertainty festering inside him.
“What would you like, dear?” the red-head asked with a wide smile.
Overly friendly waitresses were not one of Remus' favorite things. They made him nervous and uncomfortable.
“I’ll take a bowl of broccoli soup, a turkey club, and --” he still had a lot of unpacking to do “-- a large black House Blend coffee, please.”
The red-head nodded and wrote down his order. “No problem.” She handed him a table number and said, “Pick any table and set this on the edge. I’ll have it out to you in no time.”
Remus accepted the number with a whispered, “Thank you,” and turned to choose a table. A two-top in the corner, where he had a view of the front door and the counter, was the winner.
The cherry wood grain formica table top matched that of the front counter. He was thinking about his new tattoo parlor venture and absentmindedly tracing the curve of the faux grain with his fingertip when the red-head brought his coffee.
She sat the coffee down, pulling him out of his reveries. “I’ve never seen you in here before. Are you just passing through?”
Remus looked up into the brightest emerald eyes he had ever seen. “Um...no...sorry, I mean, I’m not just passing through. I moved in across the street.” He pointed out the window. “I’m a tattoo artist.”
“Well, that’s neat!” She smiled and held out her right hand. “My name’s Lily. My husband James and I own this Cafe.”
He shook her hand. “I’m Remus. Nice to meet you.”
“I’ll be back with your food soon,” she said with a wink, and walked back behind the counter.
Remus put his elbow on the table and rested his chin in his palm. He looked around the colorful interior of the Cafe. Three of the walls were a golden yellow hue, and the accent wall behind the front counter was burgundy red. Long, red pocket curtains hung over the windows. They were semi-transparent and allowed the sunlight to bask the Cafe in a warm glow. The other corner held a comfy sitting area with a dark brown leather sofa and two leather armchairs. Something about the place made him feel like he was home.
Lily returned at that moment with his food and a coffee pot to top off his coffee.
He offered her a smile with a soft, “Thanks, Lily.”
“Let me know if you need anything else.”
Remus tucked into the meal. It was delicious. More delicious than anything he had eaten in a long while. Impossibly delicious.
In what seemed like no time, Remus finished the soup and sandwich. He stacked the bowl on the plate and pushed them toward the center of the table. Letting out a content sigh, he leaned against the back of the chair.
Lily appeared and collected the empty plate and bowl. “Anything else?” she asked.
“No...thank you. I don’t think I could eat another bite. It was all delicious.”
“Are you sure? Not even any desert? I bake a mean chocolate cake,” she said with a smile.
Hmm… “Chocolate cake did you say?” He couldn’t say ‘no’ to that.
“Yep. Bake it every morning. I got one piece left with your name on it.”
“Alright. Yeah...I’d love a piece of chocolate cake.” Remus laughed.
Lily walked away and he tried to remember the last time he had actually laughed. It had been a while.
The sight of the cake Lily placed in front of him made his mouth water. Which was saying something because he was already so full from everything else he had eaten. It smelled rich and decadent, and tasted even better. With every bite he could feel his spirit begin to lift.
He finished the cake and the last of his coffee, then went to the counter to pay his bill. A gentleman with messy black hair stood at the register holding a young boy with equally messy black hair.
“Eight pound, fifty,” said the man.
Remus fished in his pockets for his Muggle money, and found a tenner. He handed it to the man and said, “Leave the rest for Lily, please.”
“I’ll do that. Thanks! Come again soon.”
He started back across the street to finish unpacking his flat and noticed the shop next door to his. Dog Among the Daisies, Flower Loft, Remus read the sign over the door. Might as well meet these neighbors, too, he thought as he stepped inside. And maybe I’ll pick up something small for the flat. Something that looks and smells nice.
The floral fragrance overpowered his senses upon entering the establishment, and he had to shake his head to clear it. A refrigerator stood to one side with an assortment of arrangements. His brown brogues tapped as he made his way across the hardwood floor toward the front counter.
There was a service bell on the counter so he dinged it a couple times.
“Just a mo’!” called a man’s voice from the back.
He clasped his hands behind his back and wandered around the small lobby, looking at the floral creations. He had his back to the counter when he heard the man again.
“Sorry about that. What can I do for ya’?”
Remus turned around and took in the sight of the man before him. He had shaggy black hair pulled back into a bun and a closely trimmed beard. His grey eyes pierced into Remus’ and stole his breath.
“I...uh…” Remus stammered. “Flowers…” He pointed like an idiot.
The man looked where Remus had pointed. “You want to buy some flowers? Well, you came to the right place.” He gave a lopsided grin that turned Remus’ will into a puddle.
Remus cleared his throat. Let’s try this again. “I...uh…” What the fuck is wrong with me?
The man moved from behind the counter. “These premade arrangements are popular with people passing by.” He gestured to the refrigerator case next to Remus. “Or you can place a special order to pick up later.” When Remus did not reply, he turned to face the case and continued, “See anything in here you like?”
A whiff of leather and coffee cut through the floral scent when the man moved near Remus. He had to close his eyes to control the involuntary shudder playing down his spine. When he opened his eyes again, the man was staring at him with those eyes the color of steel.
“I...uh…” Breaking the eye contact, he looked over the arrangements in the cooled case. “That one is nice.” He pointed at a medium sized arrangement with white and purple flowers in a clear vase.
“Interesting choice,” the man said as he slid open the case and pulled out the arrangement. “Gardenia and Calla lily. I made this one yesterday.” He turned his head to the side and considered the arrangement. “I wondered who would take it home. Did you know most florists believe different flowers have different meanings?” The man grinned at Remus before he turned to head back to the counter.
“No...what do these flowers mean?” Remus asked, almost afraid of the answer.
The man was behind the counter again, but the scent of leather and coffee still lingered in the air.
“Gardenia,” he pointed at the white flowers, “are symbolic of a secret love.”
Remus tried to swallow, but his mouth had gone dry.
“And calla lily,” he continued and pointed at the purple flowers, “are named after the Greek word for beautiful, so some people associate it with the Goddess Venus.” His charcoal eyes sparked.
“Interesting...well, they are certainly beautiful. You uh...you did a nice job.” Remus felt like he was crashing and burning in this interaction. All he wanted was a few flowers for his new flat. He didn’t expect...this.
“Thanks.” The man grinned and held out his right hand. “I’m Sirius, by the way.”
“I’m Remus.” Shaking the hand, he felt something warm shoot from his hand and up his arm. He tried to hide the gasp by clearing his throat. “Ahem, I’m opening a tattoo parlor next door.”
Sirius' face glowed in his broad smile. “Brilliant. Welcome to the neighborhood.”
Remus paid for the flowers and retreated back to his flat. He shut the door and released a long breath.
He wasn’t ready for what he thought this might mean. It was too soon.
Remus shook himself from his thoughts, and brought himself back to the present. He took a deep breath and stood. As he walked to the bathroom, he removed his shirt. Looking into the mirror, he traced a tattoo on his sternum that was indistinguishable unless you knew what to look for. Maybe it was time to stop running from...this. Before that can happen, Sirius needed to know the truth about him.
He closed his eyes and hung his head. The full moon was in a couple nights. He’d tell him then.
Next Chapter: Chapter 13

My First Graze Box: The Rest of It
I am a Grazer. Having subscribed to my first official Graze box and having decided to continue that subscription, I not only believe myself to be initiated, I believe my stomach to be initiated as well. My dreams are full of wrapper adventures while my meals are left half finished in the spirit of portioning off grazeable amounts of food. Never will I sink into the gluttonous sin of a full stomach again.
That being said, my boyfriend and I shared three snacks at once a few days ago, and I plan to eat the remaining four over the course of the hour it will probably take me to write this experience, as sublime as it will be.
Thai Style Sweet Chili, Anytime Energizer, and Jelly Doughnut are the snacks we chose to sacrifice together, my boyfriend and I. The chili was full of nuts and beans, some of my least favorite ingredients in life. I savored every sweet and slightly spicy crunch, for nuts and dried beans would never taste so good again. Each bite was like a prayer to the gentle and nourishing sun, cradling my spiritual crops--as well as my taste buds--with a mother's warmth.
The Anytime Energizer was less profound and carried more practical and gym-time notes. The pear pieces had too little taste for the volume of chew that they packed. The cherry was too cherry. The walnut was just right. My inner blonde-braided child sufficed that it was good eating for someone else.
Then came the astoundingly addictive tartness of the Jelly Doughnut. The name describes the flavor perfectly, yet does the snack so much disservice as real jelly doughnuts are just bags of puffed up wheat with uneven patches of Snow White foundation and too much chemically flavored edible lipstick caked onto the teeth. The one true Grazer's version is a collection of raspberry flavored jelly strings, small crisp cookie drops that smell like vanilla cake and crumble in the mouth like tea biscuits, actual dried fruit and tiny chopped slivers of almond that add a hint of cherry to each whiff as well as a creamier texture akin to almond milk, only in solidified form. Did I mention how much I dislike nuts and cherry?
I loved this.
Did I also mention that I'm still on my period and therefore have to nap in the middle of the day at the height of Advil efficiency like some old lady with lifelong post-surgery back pain? Well, here we are about three hours later and a New York Everything Bagel in hand to keep my hunger busy while the roommate and I wait for my boyfriend to come home with some delicious steaks in tow.
The NYE Bagel certainly smells like a bagel, which is one of many delicious morning smells to wake up to. Naturally, because I love nuts so much, I go for the cheese cashews first, stained with orange dust as they are. I don't know what they do with their nuts, but they're always creamy. If nuts always had the taste and texture of milk, I wouldn't dislike them so much. The poppyseed onion sesame sticks really pack that "everything" flavor, along with that of a crunchy toasted crust. This is bagel heaven for me. There's nothing better than biting halfway into the ring of a freshly crisped bagel, the brim of it hard and brittle and the furthest part of your bite digging through a thin granite top just before cutting into the tootsie bread center. The sesame sticks are just that experience over and over again, and the satisfaction runs deep into the root canal. Admittedly, I thought the roasted pumpkin seeds were going to be my least favorite part, but they're soft and almost fluffy, making up the warmed and tender part of the bread. Get a pinchful of all three ingredients together, and you get a tiny bagel with a lot of punch. I almost want to spread cream cheese on it, but there's no reasonable amount of surface area to work with.
Next up is the Snickerdoodle Dip. My favorite part about Graze snacks so far is always the wrapper removal. I get hit with a cozy aroma, cinnamon logs roasting in a pretzel fireplace. I dislike pretzels, but these sticks give me the same feeling as when I light a scented candle--I know I'm going to sniffle from allergies for a couple days, but at least for now my nose gets well pampered. I'm not sure if I've ever had snickerdoodles before, so I'm not sure what they're supposed to taste like, but I imagine they taste just like the fuzzy cookie butter caramel residue I just licked off the wrapper. The pretzel stick by itself is, as with my allergies to perfumes, full of regret. My nose predicted sugar and spice, but there was nothing nice. They do taste wonderful though and my roommate is apologizing for taking more than one. Whatever snickerdoodles are, the dip tastes like caramel graham crackers, and coats the pretzel with the same kind of family Christmas spirit as a stocking full of common necessities (toothbrush, floss, chapstick, socks). It's both delicious and heartwarming and I never want it again.
The Sweet & Spicy Beet Crunch is the first Graze snack I legitimately dislike. The jalapeno chickpeas have an airy crunch, further elevated by a mild pepperish fever. The sunflower seeds do nothing but add more disgustingly soft texture to the beet chips that don't deserve to be called chips. They chew without being chewy. They twist and bend around the grinding of the teeth and slowly deform under large amounts of pressure like half-hardened glue. After smelling something similar to the blue BBQ potato chips sold on the Jet Blue airline, my expectations were depressingly let down.
The Fantastic Forest Fruits is like a snack you'd expect to find in a fairy tale hermit cave. I imagine an old herbalist crone, 129 going on 130, her home littered atop the entire low ceiling of the cavern with hooks and ropes tied up around bundles of sage, cinnamon sticks, yew twigs, berry pouches, and numerous other forest collectibles. A small cavity in the wall has a smoked out cold fire going, keeping that small space dry and dehumidifying the rack above it. That rack is covered in some kind of mesh, and on top of that is the pile of soft, dried fruits that this snack comes from. I can almost smell the crone in these fruits. These are easily one of my favorite Grazing nibbles, if only because it appeals to my fantasy fascination. That, or it appeals to my current period cravings.
I can't wait 'til the end of the month when I get my next Graze box. And also when my period ends.

Peanut-Free & Tree Nut-Free Packaged Snacks
This list of Peanut-Free and Tree Nut-Free Packaged Snacks is designed to help parents and caretakers who need to provide allergy-friendly snacks for their own kids or to an entire school class or daycare.
*Originally published August 2019. Updated August 2021*
Hi friends!
This roundup of Peanut Free & Tree Nut Free Packaged Snacks for School has been a long time coming. You guys have been asking me for nut-free ideas for YEARS, literally…and to be honest, I’ve been putting it off. I’m not an allergy mama. My kids don’t have allergies and up until recently, they haven’t been in schools that require things to be nut-free so I selfishly haven’t had a whole lot of reason to write this post. But I finally sat down and did it!
A few things to note before we go further:
This is not an all-inclusive list. There are a lot of options out there. Some of which are not the healthiest. It would be impossible to include them all, and as an RD I approached this list as still wanting it to be filled with snacks that have some nutritional value and not just full of pretzels and potato chips (both of which are fine but not something I give my own kids every day, especially when not paired with a protein or healthy fat, etc. Just know that I did my best to include items that are somewhat healthy, that I would feel good about giving my own kids.
It’s still your responsibility to do your research. I spent a lot of time on websites and looking at packaging but things can change quickly in the manufacturing process so you still need to check all the labels yourself and check them every time you buy them..not just the first time.
I haven’t tried them all. Like i said, I’m not an allergy mama so we haven’t had the occasion to buy a lot of these products and therefore neither I nor my kids have tasted a lot of them.
Some wouldn’t be my first choice nutritionally. But most on this list are things I feel are good choices when packaged snacks are needed.
Peanut Free Snacks + Nut Free Snacks
The best way to determine if foods are allergy-free snacks is to read the label since brands should have a warning statement or allergen list. Be aware of phrases like this:
“May Contain Peanut or Tree Nuts.”
“Processed on shared equipment with Peanuts or Tree Nuts.”
“Manufactured in a plant with Peanut or Tree Nuts.”
“Contains Peanut or Tree Nut Ingredients.”
You can also check the FAQs on the website but packaging should have the most updated info.
Some schools give guidelines that foods must not contain peanut or tree nuts but don’t require them to be from nut-free facilities. Some do. Be familiar with the rules for wherever you’re sending food so you can make sure to choose snacks that comply with their guidelines. And remember that although choosing allergy-friendly options like this can be a pain if your family does not have allergies, it’s important for the safety of a lot of kids and allergy families appreciate you putting in the time and effort to keep their kids safe. My hope is that this list will make your job just a little bit easier.
Nut Free Snacks For School

You can click the hyperlinked brand name below each image to be taken to their website, use their store locator etc. I’ve also listed some of their products that might make good snacks. Most brands offer more products than the ones I’ve listed and you can use your discretion to choose those as well!

Is Allulose Keto? A Beginner’s Guide
In the world of sugar alternatives, allulose is a rising star. Unlike some sweeteners, such as sucralose and xylitol, it’s a real monosaccharide sugar. It shares the chemical structure of a typical carbohydrate, but it isn’t metabolized by the body. Research has shown it has no effect on blood glucose levels. This makes it an excellent option for keto dieters.
Allulose: A Rare Sugar
Allulose is often referred to as a “rare sugar” due to its minimal presence in nature. Other natural sweeteners, like stevia, taste sugary for a different reason. Stevia’s sweet taste comes from steviol glycosides, which offer up to 150 times the sweetness of sugar.
Allulose, on the other hand, offers about 70 percent of the sweetness of sugar. While it is less sweet, it still gets the job done.
It was first discovered in the 1940s. Trace amounts exist in a variety of edible substances. These include foods like wheat, raisins, figs, jackfruit, maple syrup, and molasses.
Manufacturers can create it through a natural enzymatic process. In the 1990s, Japanese scientist Ken Izumori identified the enzyme that converts fructose to allulose. This method is still used by companies today.
Most manufacturers are making allulose using corn or beet sugar. They isolate the fructose and turn it into allulose through a process of enzymatic conversion. The enzymes are then removed, which results in a potent and low-calorie sweetener.
Although allulose has been around for a while, companies have only recently begun marketing it as a sweetener or adding it to foods. In 2019, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave food manufacturers permission to stop listing allulose as a sugar. It’s still included in carbohydrate counts.
Allulose Sugar and the Keto Diet: An Excellent Low-carb Option
Allulose is sometimes referred to by other names, including pseudo-fructose, d-psicose, or d-allulose. No matter which of these terms appear on the label, allulose is a safe option for keto or other low-carb dietary plans.
A teaspoon of allulose contains about 4 grams of carbs. However, it contains no NET carbs. Net carbs are those that the body can fully break down into glucose. Therefore, allulose is essentially free of carbs.
It’s also free of calories. It contains around 10 percent of the calories in sugar, which amounts to about 0.4 calories per gram. This is too small an amount to worry about even for someone on a strict diet.
The Allulose Experience: The Benefits and the Side Effects
Allulose Benefits
Allulose is relatively new to the holistic scene, and researchers are still studying its benefits. Nonetheless, what we’ve learned so far about this low-calorie sweetener has us excited. Not only does it not impact blood sugar, but it appears to also help improve insulin sensitivity. This makes it a good option for diabetics as well as keto dieters.
One study found that allulose could suppress blood sugar spikes in people with borderline diabetes. The same study found no abnormal or problematic effects caused by long-term ingestion of the sweetener.
Early studies suggest allulose can help us lose weight even if we aren’t maintaining ketosis. During one study, researchers fed rats a high-sugar diet with or without supplemental allulose. The rats that received the allulose demonstrated lower body fat percentages and less weight gain. Studies have also linked allulose to a reduction in fat storage in the liver.
One of the greatest benefits of allulose is psychological. Getting healthy and losing weight takes effort. It can be exhausting at times. You want to look and feel your best, but you don’t want to deprive yourself. Natural sweeteners like allulose provide a way to enjoy delicious treats you love without the guilt.
Allulose Side Effects
We’re happy to report that allulose presents a low risk of side effects. The FDA warns some people may experience gastrointestinal discomfort after consuming large amounts. However, these effects are temporary and not life-threatening.
Researchers performed a gastrointestinal tolerance test to determine how much allulose a human can safely consume. The results showed that an adult up to 132 pounds can consume about 54 grams daily before side effects will begin to show up.
The only other negative of allulose is also a factor with other sugar alternatives. Eating anything sweet increases our sugar cravings. While this isn’t a problem if you stick to allulose, it could be an issue if you feel tempted in other situations.
For example, if you’ve been eating a lot of tasty sweets baked with allulose, you might start craving a sugar-filled dessert the next time you’re out to dinner. You can avoid this problem by enjoying allulose treats in moderation.
Everyone is different. If you’ve never tried allulose, start with a small amount and see how your system reacts.
How to Use Allulose: Making Sweets Keto Style
If you’re a fan of experimenting in the kitchen, you’ll love working with allulose. Although it’s less sweet, allulose tastes much like sugar. It’s texturally similar as well, making it ideal for creamy applications, such as ice cream and cake frosting.
Not only is the sweetener perfect for the keto diet, but it’s also easy to work with. It mimics white sugar in just about every way. For example, it has a similar browning and freezing point as regular sugar.
We and other keto enthusiasts have tested allulose against other types of sweeteners. We’ve noticed it contributes to moist, rich, and even caramelized textures. This makes it ideal for use in cookies and cakes.
As far as measurements, you can compare allulose to erythritol. It measures out about the same way.
Other Low-carb Sweeteners to Consider
If you don’t like using allulose for whatever reason, there are plenty of other keto sweeteners to try. Monk fruit is another low-carb sweetener that ranks high in terms of keto friendliness. It’s also ideal for bakers as it measures the same as sugar when properly blended with erythritol.
There are several other sweeteners that are excellent for keto folks, such as Splenda. However, sweeteners like Splenda often contain other types of sugar, such as dextrose, as fillers. Make sure you carefully read labels to avoid pushing your body out of ketosis.

Nut-free Nutella - The Healthy, Allergy-Free Alternative
You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t enjoy the flavor of Nutella. From croissant fillings to waffles, cocktails, ice cream, and even by the sneaky spoonful, Nutella is a firm favorite. What happens if you’re allergic to Hazelnuts though? Or eschewing a diet high in sugar? What options are there for you to enjoy so you need not miss out?
What Is Nutella Exactly And Why Is It Considered Unhealthy?
Nutella originates from Italy and was first introduced in 1964 by chocolate and confectionery giant Fererro. The sweetened cocoa spread quickly became a worldwide sensation, it is now so popular that Nutella’s website claims you could circle the earth 1.8 times with the jars of Nutella that are produced in just one year.
Nutella came about post-WWII when cocoa became increasingly scarce. As a solution to this, Michele Fererro created a new product, blending hazelnuts into a paste and mixing with small amounts of cocoa.
Since then the ingredients have changed and grown in number to bring about what we now know as Nutella.
An in-depth review of the ingredients by Healthline shows just how little nutritional value Nutella offers. It contains, in order of highest to lowest amount:
Sugar - Either beet or refined cane sugar, depending upon its country of manufacture. Sugar is its largest component.
Palm oil - A type of vegetable oil that comes from the fruit of the oil palm tree. Palm oil gives the product its trademark creamy texture and spreadability. If you’re environmentally conscious, palm oil production is a major cause of deforestation.
Hazelnuts - 100% pure hazelnut paste. Each jar contains the equivalent of around 50 hazelnuts.
Cocoa - The majority of the cocoa beans used in Nutella come from Western Africa. They are processed into a fine powder and mixed with the other ingredients and give the spread its chocolatey taste.
Skimmed milk powder - Made by removing water from pasteurized non-fat milk. Powdered milk has a much longer shelf life than regular milk, and does not require refrigeration.
Soy lecithin - Soy lecithin is an emulsifier derived from soybeans, it helps to keep ingredients from separating, maintaining the spread’s smooth and uniform texture.
Vanillin - A flavor component found in vanilla bean extract. Nutella contains a synthetic form of vanillin, therefore it must be listed as an artificial ingredient.
Nutella is advertised as a hazelnut spread, however, sugar is listed first on the ingredient label. Indicating that sugar, not hazelnuts, is its primary ingredient, comprising 57% of its weight. And while Nutella would like for their product to be classified as a spread in the same category as peanut butter or jam, it is currently listed as a dessert topping.
What’s In A Tablespoon?
According to Nutella’s website, in a single tablespoon of Nutella you are consuming:
As you can see, it is predominantly sugar, fat, and carbohydrates with negligible amounts of calcium and iron. So while we won’t argue with you that it’s delicious, it’s also really unhealthy to consume regularly.
How Common Are Hazelnut Allergies?
Hazelnut allergies are more common than you might realize, in fact, Hazelnuts are one of the most common tree nut allergies. So just as much as peanut butter alternatives are necessary, so are healthy Nutella alternatives.
Tree nut allergies affect between 0.5% and 1% of the American population, this is on par with peanut allergies. Yet peanut allergies are often more catered for than tree nut allergies.
What Alternates Are There To Nutella?
Chocti Ghee Spread
Made from date syrup, chocolate, vanilla bean ghee, coffee oil, and guaraná seed powder, Chocti Ghee Spread, a popular Nutella substitute, is nut-free but made on a production line that may also handle peanuts and tree nuts. It also contains dairy so not suitable for many allergy sufferers. It is high in fat, sugar, and carbohydrates making it on par health-wise with Nutella.
NuttZo Organic Chocolate Power Fuel
Nuttzo is manufactured on equipment shared with peanuts. If tree nut and peanut allergies aren’t a concern for you and it’s more about reduced fat and sugar content, then this option from NuttZo may work for you.
Don’t Go Nuts Chocolate Soy Butter
Soy is a known allergen and many peanut allergy sufferers are also allergic to soy, as they are both in the legume family.This product is free from the other major allergens including tree nuts, peanuts, dairy, eggs sesame, and gluten.
Why Chocolate 5 Seed Butter Beats Them All
Beyond The Equator Chocolate 5 Seed Butter is the perfect Nutella alternative, easily beating out the competition. It is free of the top 8 allergens and made on a completely nut-free production line.

What is Turbine Sugar?
Turbine sugar is a coarse-grained sugar type with a golden brown color consisting of crystals. They are found in supermarkets and natural food stores, and some cafes offer this in single service packages. You might wonder if this rustic-looking candy is better and can replace white sugar. Let's take a look at what turbine sugar is and how to use it: What is Turbine Sugar? Turbine sugar is a refined sugar that gives some fine caramel aroma while preserving some original molasses. Some are made from sugar cane, an organically grown, non-genetically modified crop. Sometimes turbine sugar is also referred to as raw sugar and is a marketing term that implies minimal processing. However, despite this name, sugar is not really “raw Ancak. Raw sugar is obtained in the early stages of sugar processing, but raw sugar is not suitable for consumption because it is contaminated with soil and other impurities. Turbine sugar is free of these residues and is further refined, ie not raw. Another reason why turbine sugar is not raw is that the production contains boiled sugar cane juice to thicken and crystallize it. In particular, turbine sugar comes with a higher price tag than white sugar, usually two to three times more costly. Briefly, turbine sugar is a partially refined sugar with a thin caramel flavor and which keeps some of the original molasses from the sugar cane. It could be three times more expensive than white sugar. Nutrition As White Sugar
White sugar and turbine sugar; about 4 grams per teaspoon, but without fiber 16 calories and 4 grams of carbohydrates. Turbine sugar contains a small amount of calcium and iron, but only 1% of the daily intake per teaspoon is not taken. It also provides antioxidants from molasses left behind during the process, but their quantities are relatively low. For example, 2/3 cups of 100 grams of blueberries with the same amount of antioxidants to get 5 cups of turbine sugar should be eaten. Health institutions recommend that additional sugar intake be limited to 10% or less of daily calories; this is equal to 12.5 teaspoons or 50 grams of sugar if 2,000 calories are needed per day. But the less sugar you eat the better. More additional sugar intake is associated with increased risk of heart disease, negative health effects such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and worsening memory; they also do not mention the role of increasing tooth decay. Hence turbine sugar can sometimes be considered a flavor enhancer to use in small amounts instead of a nutrient source. In short, turbine sugar is similar to white sugar for calories and carbohydrates. The small amounts of minerals and antioxidants it provides are relatively insignificant. Like other sugar types, only small amounts are used. Turbine Sugar Processing
Turbine Sugar Sugar passes through many process steps. This is extracted from the sugar cane press, which is boiled in large water evaporators to form the crystals and rotated in a turbine to remove the liquid molasses. Although white sugar is more refined to remove almost all molasses and remove color traces, only molasses are removed from the surface of the turbine sugar crystals. This generally leaves less than 3.5% molasses. In contrast, brown sugar is typically made by adding molasses in the exact amounts of white sugar. Light brown sugar contains 3,5% molasses while dark brown sugar has 6,5% molasses. Both types of brown sugar are more moister than turbine sugar due to added molasses and have smaller crystals. As in the other two types of brown sugar, the brunette maintains minimal refinery and some of the original pekmez. Muscovado, Demerara sugar, has larger and lighter crystals than turbine sugar. Usually contains 1-2% molasses. Muscovado sugar is very dark brown and has sticky, thin, soft crystals. Contains 8-10% molasses and gives a stronger flavor. Briefly, brown sugars vary according to their degree of processing, molasses content and crystal sizes, including turbinado, demerara, muscovado, light and dark brown sugar. How to Use Turbine Candy? It can use turbine sugar for general sweetening purposes, but it is very useful for foods because large crystals adhere well under heat. We may list some foods that can be used as general flavors for turbine sugar: • The best hot corn cereals such as oatmeal and wheat cream • Sprinkle on whole-grain cakes, buns and quick bread. • For meat or poultry to be grilled or grilled with a dry spice. • Baked sweet potatoes, roasted carrots and beets can be sprinkled. • Sweet snacks such as walnuts and almonds can be prepared. • Pear can be sprinkled on baked fruits such as apples or peaches. • It can be mixed into a graham cracker pie crust. • Pie, apple crumble and cream can be decorated. • Spread on whole wheat sugar cookies for a natural look. • It can be mixed with cinnamon and used in whole-grain toast. • Coffee, tea or other hot drinks can be flavored. • Can be used as a natural body or facial peeling. Turbine sugar can be purchased in bulk as single service packages and as sugar cubes. Store in an airtight container to prevent hardening. In summary, turbine sugar, large crystals are resistant to heat and are generally used in hot grains, bakery products and tops of desserts. It is also a popular hot beverage sweetener. Tips for Changing Turbine Flavor
Turbine Sugar In general, although an equivalent amount of turbine sugar can be used instead of white sugar in the recipes, each one tastes its own. For example, white sugar, such as an unspoiled white color and a smooth texture, such as whipped cream or a citrus flavored dessert, is a better choice if you like lemon pie. On the other hand, the light molasses taste of turbine sugar blends with wholemeal cakes, apple pies and barbecue sauces. Specifically larger turbine sugar crystals are insoluble in addition to smaller white sugar crystals. Therefore, it may not work in some bakery products. In a kitchen experiment test, it was found that turbine sugar could easily replace white sugar in bakery products made with damp, fluidized pastes such as cakes. However, it does not work in dry mixes, such as cookies, because it is not dissolved like sugar. In addition, other brown sugar can be used instead of turbine sugar. A few tips for turbine sugar can be listed as follows: • To replace a turbine sugar: Half a brown sugar and half a white sugar can be mixed instead of a full turbine sugar. • To replace brown sugar with turbine: Adjust to add moisture like honey or apple puree, otherwise baked products may dry out. • Turbine sugar can be used instead of demerra and vice versa: It can be used instead of the other in recipes without making any special adjustments in terms of texture and flavor. • To replace Muscovadose with turbine (or demerara) sugar: A small amount of molasses can be added to the turbine sugar to copy the flavor and moisture of the Muscovado sugar. Generally, white sugar in a recipe can be replaced by turbine, but may slightly change the color, taste and texture of the final product. Other brown colored sugars may require moisture adjustment to replace turbine sugar. Turbine sugar is an option that is processed less than white sugar which holds a small amount of molasses. However, it does not contribute to an important nutritional value and is quite expensive. It is a delicious ingredient that is at the highest level in sweetener or flavor care among all sugar types and best in terms of crystal size. https://www.orak11.com/index.php/the-danger-of-sugar/ Warning !

Healthy Food Ideas for Snacks and Meals While Hiking
Food is such a huge part of our lives as humans. We spend so much time thinking about it, planning it, cooking it and eating it. And for good reason – it provides us with so much. Nutrition, energy, joy, tradition, stimulation of the senses, connection to family and even strangers. It’s kind of everything, isn’t it?
Food consumes a large portion of our days while we are at home – and it becomes even more important once we leave our home. Personally, our connection to food is strong, and when we go hiking or backpacking, that connection becomes even more important. We find ourselves obsessing over how to construct a healthy, flavourful, satisfying and lightweight menu to accommodate the energy demands of increased activity.
Planning for and packing the right types of foods for your hike will make a huge difference to your energy level, performance, comfort and happiness. We love hiking, but if we are being honest, it can be a cause of discomfort and pain. When you are hiking, food becomes this amazing luxury and distracts you from the negatives of the trail. That is why food always tastes better when you are outdoors hiking or camping.
So, let us share with you what we have learned about food and hiking. Here we’ll give you our best tips on proper nutrition, tasty recipes and healthy snacks. We are always trying to improve on this, so if you have any great ideas or recipes of your own, please comment below!
Packing along energy dense food while hiking provides you with a healthy, lightweight, tasty and satisfying snack. Check out our food ideas and tips below.
Energy Dense Foods
When you are hiking, especially on long or strenuous hikes, your focus should be on energy dense foods. These foods offer more energy per gram which means you will have lots of energy available to use for your hike and you will be carrying around less weight in your pack. Traveling lightweight is especially helpful on multi-day hikes since food weight adds up quickly and can take up a huge portion of your pack weight. It’s simple – carrying around less weight = more energy left for you to use.
We’ll focus on the macros – protein, fat and carbs. We like quality forms of energy, therefore we avoid added sugars, artificial oils, fillers and preservatives. So be careful when you are buying food for your hikes. Most pre-packaged foods contain all of the above. Instead, focus on whole foods, natural foods, good quality proteins, complex carbs and healthy fats.
Quality Protein Ideas
Beef Jerky – check out our recipe for homemade jerky below
Pepperettes – we like finding grass-fed beef sticks
Tuna Packs – these come in great flavours now
Packaged Chunk Chicken
Dehydrated Meats – you can make these at home or buy in bulk food stores and add them to soup or rice dishes for dinner
Hard Boiled Eggs – these only last a few hours out of the fridge so they can only be brought on day hikes
Dehydrated Eggs – these are not as bad as they sound!
Turkey Roll-ups – sliced cheese and veggies rolled up in a slice of turkey
Mixed nuts
Roasted Chickpeas
Sunflower Seeds
Pumpkin Seeds
Protein Shakes
Protein Bars – look at the ingredients carefully
Complex Carbs
Granola – look for granola with low added sugars or for ones that are sweetened with natural sugars like honey.
Brown Rice Cakes
Unsweetened Banana Chips
Popcorn
Raisins
Apples
Oranges
Berries
Red Pepper Sticks
Cucumber Sticks
Carrot Sticks
Instant or Quick Cook Packaged Brown Rice
Dehydrated Vegetables – look for interesting veggies to add to your dinner recipes like sweet potato and peas
Whole Grain Tortilla Wraps – perfect for making quick sandwiches and they won’t get smushed like bread will.
Healthy Fats
Natural Peanut Butter – eat it on it’s own or add to wraps or rice dishes
Powdered Peanut Butter – if you are concerned about pack weight
Almond Butter – and other nut butters
Sunflower Seeds
Pumpkin Seeds
Packaged cheese like string cheese and Babybells
Hard Cheeses like aged cheddar and Parmesan – we’ve done a lot of research on cheese and how long they can stay unrefrigerated. Cheese companies are not allowed to suggest this, however, many packaged cheeses and hard cheeses can last for days out of the fridge.
Mixed Nuts – almonds, cashews, walnuts, macadamia
Dark Chocolate
Packaged Salmon – add to sandwiches or to dinner recipes
Coconut – in any state. Chunked coconut is great to snack on. Coconut oil and cream are great to cook with or add to recipes.
Hiking and backpacking is our favourite way to travel and explore the world around us. Check out all of our posts featuring our best hiking guides, tips and ideas:
10 Actually Healthy Pre-Packaged Snacks
It is best to bring as many whole foods and homemade snacks as you can since many packaged foods contain high amounts of salt, sugars, preservatives and fillers. However, if you stick with high quality brands, you can find very healthy snack options. And we love the simplicity of throwing these into our pack.
– these fruit snacks are fantastic because that is the only ingredient – fruit! These snacks are simply pureed and pressed fruits, which provide you with one serving of fruit, use fruit from sustainable farms, and are non-GMO, gluten-free and vegan. These are the perfect snack for kids because they will actually like eating them!
– another great treat for the kids. These ‘M&M’s’ lookalikes offer you a special treat with only 5g of sugar per serving. They use ingredients like 72% dark cocoa, carrot juice, beet juice and quinoa to create these tasty morsels.
– this is one of your best options when buying jerky. Due to the nature of jerky, most brands are high in additives and preservatives. Krave jerky has minimal ingredients, are minimally processed and has no artificial ingredients. And the best part is – they are delicious! And come in some unique flavours like Black Cherry BBQ and Chili Lime.
– it’s difficult to find a granola bar with any health qualities at all. Seven Sundays does it right by creating a tasty square that offers half the sugar, and more protein and fiber than other bars. We love that these snacks have no refined sugars and are sweetened with honey and fruit. And better yet, they are non-GMO and gluten free!
– this company takes the decadent chocolate covered almond and makes it even better. Naturally wholesome almonds are covered in ethically sourced dark chocolate and sprinkled with pure raspberry, and only 6g of sugar per serving.
– this is a healthier twist on the traditional trail mix. A mixture of cranberries, raisins, cherries, blueberries, goji berries, and zero preservatives make for a tangy treat! Check out this brand – they have loads of healthy snack options.
– we love these bars because every ingredient is listed right on the front of their package. The bars consist of egg whites, dates, nuts and natural flavours to make unique tatses like Gingerbread, Mango Pineapple and Maple Sea Salt. And having no added sugar and being gluten free and dairy free, you have a delicious, healthy treat.
– NOOSH knows what we want – travel sized, portable, healthy and satisfying snacks. These snack sized squeezable almond butters are more than convenient to carry along on a hike. The natural goodness of almonds is combined with awesome flavours like chocolate, coffee and birthday cake. They are also vegan, gluten free, dairy free and have zero palm oil (yay!).
– if you are afraid to bring cheese along on a long hike, this is your solution. These crunchy cheese snacks only contain two ingredients – cheese and egg whites – no preservatives at all, yet they do not have to be refrigerated. These are the perfect cheesy and high energy snack for hikes and they come in great flavours like Parmesan and Cheddar Bacon.
– we love QUEST bars because they have a high quality protein blend and no added sugar – instead they are sweetened with natural ingredients like stevia. Most granola and protein bars are loaded with sugars which may give you some energy upfront, but you are bound to crash in no time. QUEST bars offer you a longer lasting and higher quality form of energy. They also have tons of fun flavours like Peppermint Bark, Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.

Recipes to Make at Home
Our preference is to make our meals and snacks at home and take them along on our hikes. By making our own food we can control the ingredients which cuts down on salt, sugar and fillers. We can also control the taste to our preference. And the best part is that it saves us money – pre-packaged and dehydrated foods are very expensive.
Dehydrating your own beef and meats at home to make jerky will save you tons of money, and provide you with a healthier and tastier hiking food alternative.
Jerky
On our last multi-day hike we made our own beef and chicken jerky. We find packaged meats to be particularly expensive and we saved a huge amount of money by making it ourselves. It was fun and we got to choose our own flavourings to make the perfect jerky for us.
Here is the basic recipe we used, but check out for loads of great jerky recipes. We don’t have a food dehydrator, and you don’t need one. Just use your oven set to it’s lowest temperature and leaving the door slightly open:
If making beef jerky, use a lean cut of beef like ‘eye of round’, ‘bottom round’, ‘top round’, ‘sirloin tip’ or ‘flank steak’. We used 2 lbs of ‘eye of round’.
You can also use pork, chicken, turkey or salmon.
Slice all of the meat into 1/4″ strips.
Marinate the meat in whatever flavours you want. For the beef jerky, we went with our favourite teriyaki sauce and added hot sauce. For the chicken jerky, we went with a chili lime rub. Marinate meat in the fridge for 4-12 hours.
Remove meat from marinade and pat dry.
Since we used our oven, we put a toothpick through each piece of meat and hung it from an oven rack. Work your way until each slice is hung up with space around each piece – make sure they are not touching each other.
To cook jerky in the oven, first cook it at 300°F for 10 minutes to kill the bacteria. Then, turn the oven down to 160°F and prop open the oven door with a wooden spoon which allows moisture to escape and air to circulate. It could take anywhere between 3 and 8 hours to cook depending on the thickness of meat and cut of meat you use. Our jerky took 4 hours.
You know the jerky is done when it bends and cracks, but does not break in half.
Energy Balls
Energy balls are perfect to make for hikes. They are healthy, energy dense and you can add literally anything you like. They are also no-bake so they are simple to whip up in your kitchen.
Our favourite things to add are shredded coconut, coconut oil, almonds, pecans, chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, peanut butter, cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips.
Our go-to recipe is below, but feel free to add any ingredients you like:
Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
2 cups unsalted almonds, chopped finely in a food processor
20 pitted dates
113 grams of cocoa powder
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey
1/8 teaspoon flaked salt
Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until everything is pulverized. Add a bit of water if the mixture is too thick and not blending well.
Scoop a tablespoon of dough at a time into your hands and roll into balls. Put in fridge to set.
Dehydrating Foods
The best way to save money and eat well on an overnight or multi-day hike is to dehydrate your own food. As long as you have an oven, you can do it. We have dehydrated everything from fruit, to vegetables, to meats and even a full lasagna!
The options are limitless. Just think of your favourite meal, cook it up at home, dehydrate in your oven, package in freezer bags and throw them in your backpack – then they are ready for your delicious home-cooked meal by the campfire.
For everything you need to know about dehydrating food at home, check out the by Survival at Home.
The food always tastes better when you cook outdoors. If you are on a multi-day hike, make sure your meals and recipes are quick and simple to cook while camping.
Recipes While on Your Hike
If we decide to cook meals on our overnight and multi-day hikes, our rule is to keep it simple! We want to limit the weight in our pack, the time it takes to cook and the dishes and tools we need to prepare it.
Some tips to make cooking easy while at camp are:
Pre-cook and dehydrate veggies, meats and full meals (Fresh and canned versions are way too heavy and bulky for your pack).
Pre-cut any fresh veggies, fruits and added ingredients so you don’t need to bring a knife and cutting board.
Carry along spices and powdered sauces to flavour dishes (no liquids – they are too heavy!).
Find quick cook or instant rices, noodles, pastas and potatoes.
We’ll share some of our favourite dishes below – they are our favourite because they are lightweight, quick to cook, yet still delicious! Also, check out the Trail Recipes website for all things food and hiking.
Campfire Burritos
This is so simple. Bring along tortilla wraps and fill with any ingredients you like. We choose to add dehydrated beef & beans, instant rice, powdered tomato and taco seasonings to a pot with water and cook until soft. Then we top it with some hard, aged cheddar before stuffing our faces.
Spicy Peanut Noodles
One of our favourite things in the world is ramen, so why not have it while we’re hiking? We simply cook instant ramen noodles in boiling water, drain and add the flavour packets, powdered peanut butter, cayenne pepper, and pre-soaked dehydrated veggies, and top with chopped peanuts.
Thai Seafood Curry
Cook up some instant rice and add in curry powder, coconut powder, pre-soaked dehydrated veggies and chunked tuna or dehydrated shrimp.
Okay Hikers.. that’s our roundup of tips for now. Did you find this helpful? We would love to do another post with even more recipes! Let us know and comment below!

About the benefits and harms of sugar: visually and in detail
Now sugar is one of the most popular products in the world. Its sales are so large that we do not even realize how much sugar enters our body – all because it discreetly got into food, as an additive to other dishes.
With each meal, people consume sugar
Not counting diets in which sugars are intentionally refused. And not surprisingly, because after getting into the stomach, sucrose is divided into glucose and fructose, which enter the blood in a few minutes, thereby providing the body with energy. Carbohydrates in sugar are "pure", they are easily digested and provide 375 kcal per 100 grams of refining or sand. There is no biological value in the product.
The body does not need sugar originally, especially purified (refined, hence the name of the cubes). However, every day the average Russian consumes up to 140 grams, which is almost a kilogram per week. In some countries, these figures are lower, in the US – higher, the average American can eat 190 grams per day. At the same time, the standards of use of the World Health Organization – no more than 30 grams per day – are about 6 teaspoons.
Of course, in its pure form it does not eat so much sugar, it enters the body with food and drinks (juices, soda), sweet fruits and fast food. Therefore, for the first stage of controlling the consumption of this product, you need to take into account not only the sugar that enters the cup of tea or coffee. Proven harm of sugar
In excessive quantities, most foods can cause harm and become causes of diseases. In the case of an "overdose" of sugar, the cardiovascular system suffers primarily. Then obesity due to unnoticed excess calories, weakening of the immune system, metabolic disorders. The skin begins to age faster, loses elasticity, rashes appear, a healthy complexion disappears.
In addition, the body begins to feel a lack of calcium, which is necessary for the absorption of refined sugar. Calcium is removed from the only reliable reserve – the bones of the skeleton. This leads to osteoporosis, that is, increased fragility of bones, teeth lose their ability to withstand the destructive effects of the environment. So, if the sweets begin to stick to the enamel,then she is already suffering.
Together with calcium, the body leaves vitamins of Group B – they are also necessary for the absorption of sugar. Since there are no vitamins in the same refining, the body "pulls" them from muscles and other organs, including the heart and even the eyes. Thus, there is an acute shortage of B vitamins in the system, in particular B1 (thiamine). This leads to digestive disorders, increased nervous excitability and fatigue, anemia, weakening of vision and even heart attacks. Another consequence is that the body, due to the lack of thiamine, can not recycle more complex carbohydrates that are simply eliminated from the body. You get a quick dose of short-term energy and, after that, fatigue.
In addition, glycogen stores in the liver can not accumulate forever, so their excess begins to be deposited in the form of fatty deposits on the hips and abdomen, and then – throughout the body, where only fatty tissue can gain a foothold. Sugar significantly increases the level of glucose in the blood and equally sharply reduces it when absorbed, so our brain needs to "continue the banquet" and creates a feeling of false hunger. Cutting off the sweet appetite means giving the go-ahead to overeating.
Too much sugar leads to an increase in insulin in the blood, which reduces the sugar level, and then follows an overestimate... a vicious circle. As a result, the abundance of sugar leads to a general drop in the level of sugar below normal, which is called an attack of hypoglycemia. Those who know something about diabetes, do not need to describe all the unpleasant symptoms of falls and high blood sugar. Facts about the benefits of sugar
Let's start with the most famous myth that brown (cane) or unrefined yellowish (beet) sugar is much more useful than the usual white. Gourmets note differences in taste, but the real benefits of brown sugar tend to zero. The fact is that it really contains cane or beet juice, which indicates the presence of vitamins. In fact, their concentration is so negligible that it is more like a statistical error.
Complete abandonment of sugar is harmful, according to Polish researchers. Without this product, blood circulation in the brain (and the brain and spine) slows down, which can lead to sclerotic changes. Sugar in a small amount prevents the formation of thrombosis, arthritis, stimulates the work of the liver. On this, unfortunately, the beneficial properties of sugar end. Of course, diabetics can not do without sugar, but only. The great sweet lie
We have already repeatedly said that many foods are dangerous for your diet precisely because they contain "hidden sugar". Even the so-called "dietary" yoghurts are finally rich in them, sugar is contained in most sauces (so ketchup is not more useful than mayonnaise) and even in sausage.
The most important thing that we should all know is the amount of sugar hidden in familiar foods. Remember-the maximum dose of sugar per day, which is advisable to observe in who, is equal to 6 teaspoons (or 5.5 cubes in terms of refining). And this in view of sweet tea and"hidden sugar".
Visibility is what best protects against reckless actions. According to this principle, tobacco anti-advertising works, when manufacturers were forced to place frightening images of diseases on packs of cigarettes. We suggest you evaluate how much sugar there is in what we eat and what we eat, for fear also and carefully monitor the diet.
Drink:
Coca-Cola: 1 l = 20 cubes Mountain Dew: 1 l = 25 cubes Red Bull: 0.25 l = 5 dice Ready-made tea drinks (Nestea, etc.)): 0.5 l = 14 cubes Apple juice from one package: 1 l = 20 cubes Chocolate milk (Nesquik): 0.5 l = 15 cubes McDonald's Milkshake: 0.5 l = 27 cubes Tomato Ketchup: 10 g = 1 cube Orange juice: 1 l = 26 cubes Beer: 0.5 l = 4 cubes Dry wine: 1 Bottle = 2 cubes Sweet Liqueurs (ex.. Baileys): 50 ml serving = 2 cubes Coffee in syrup (latte): 1 large cup = 5 cubes Fruits (1 medium fruit):
Mango: 3 cubes Banana: 3 cubes Apple: 2 cubes Pineapple: 10 cubes Grapes (bunch): 4 cubes Lemon: 0.5 cube Kiwi: 2 cubes Apricot: 2 cubes Cutter (handle): 1.5 cube Raspberries (handle): 1 cube Cranberries (handful) : 1 cube Tomato: 1 cube Sweet:
Milk chocolate: 1 tile = 10 cubes Bar: (Sneakers, Milky Way, etc.)): 7-9 dice Marshmallow: 100 g = 15 cubes Sweets: 1 piece (caramel) = 2 cubes M & M's: 1 bag, 45 g = 6 dice Sweet breakfast cereals: 100 g = 2-10 cubes Desserts (cakes, brownies): 1 piece / 1 piece = 3 to 6 pieces
As you see, even healthy fruits can be too high in sugar. What to do if you are used to eating at least one apple a day? Control the consumption of sugar in other foods. Of course, in our time and pace of life it is difficult to strictly adhere to WHO standards and eat no more than 30 g per day. However, you now know that a single sachet of M&M's dragees easily overlaps the Daily need for sweet, so be careful.
By the way, if you want to delve even deeper into the topic and are ready to completely abandon sugar, we recommend watching the film, which is called "Sugar". This is a documentary tape, the author of which decided to put on himself a long "sweet"experience. We assure you that after watching, you will begin to read more closely the composition of the labels.
