Around The Culinary World

Good evening everyone! First and foremost, happy birthday to my lovely wife! We've spent an enjoyable day with family and had one fantastic weekend to take it all in and relax. We're gearing up for another week, that means making grocery lists and (yuck) getting back to work. But as you well know, we can't start the week without sharing the best of the best from the culinary world. We've got a lot of stories to share this week, so we're going to post them 'bullet point' style and skip the commentary. (Frankly, I'm a little worn out after a busy weekend and the commentary just isn't going to be up to par!) Let's dive in:


A new study shows that the amount of sleep you are getting can greatly change the amount of weight you are losing. Apparently your body needs certain levels of sleep to maintain a higher energy. When it's tired, it is going to conserve you food (I.E. store fat) because it thinks you're low on energy and it will need to burn it (the fat) later. Read the full story about this study HERE

If you're trying to lose weight - what is the worst possible food you can eat? What about the best? A new study has found a direct tie between certain foods and weight gained throughout a year. Check this study our HERE

I'm sure glad we don't run into this problem stateside. Check out the STORY of a blogger who got in real hot water due to something he wrote about a local restaurant.

More and more studies are coming out in defense of coffee. It has been proven to be a great natural cure all for all sorts of ailments. Now, new studies are showing that coffee may have another added benefit. Check out what it is HERE

Have you noticed that ice cream prices are going up? HERE'S why.

THIS is why you always need to read into any 'nutrition studies' you may find online. Find two sources, check the story's origin. You just never know who may be behind the 'findings'.

This will buy you ANY result you want! 

That's all the news that's fit to blog about this week. We're working on a different schedule for the upcoming week. I have Wednesday off (new job - new schedule) so we'll be cooking on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. With the 4th of July weekend, we wont be posting an Around The Culinary World on Monday. The rest of the schedule for the coming week (July 4th week) is being made up on the fly. Anywho - swing on by on Tuesday night to see what Maggie has cooking. Until then,

~Cheers
