This February Jalna Living e-newsletter contains:

• A recipe for Tandoori Yoghourt Chicken Twist
• Dairy Good for Pre-Schoolers
  By Karen Inge APD. It is a moment of joy, tinged with just a touch of sadness, as you watch your  ‘baby’ take their first tentative steps towards school or pre-school. They are growing up both physically and emotionally. I think every parent, no matter how long ago, can remember quite vividly when their children started school.
• Lunchbox & After School Tips
  OK, so the festive season and the holidays seem a distant memory, now it’s back to reality and you’re faced with what to prepare for school lunches and after school snacks. Jalna’s home economist Brigid Treloar has five tips to inspire you – and feed the kids healthy food.

Welcome to Jalna Living spring e-newsletter!

You may have seen the new Jalna TV and print advertising campaign, highlighting the 'taste the pot set difference' message, and now we've also updated the Jalna web site: www.jalna.com.au . Worth checking out for everything about Jalna yoghourts and drinks, plus recipes, lifestyle and nutrition tips and hints.

When it’s cold it is easy to eat without thinking, but as the weather warms up and we start to shed those heavy clothes, suddenly how much we eat takes centre stage. And with the festive season in sight, we seem to be surrounded by too much food and drink, so we’ve put together some tips to help focus on portion control and mini food solutions. Enjoy the warmer weather and celebrate with healthy choices – especially some of the new Jalna Low Fat yoghourt!

Kind regards,.
Karen Inge Accredited Practising Dietitian.

This spring Jalna Living e-newsletter contains:

• A recipe for Vanilla Banana Colada.
  
• Portion Caution by dietitian Karen Inge
  If you’ve had a hunch that our food serves have undergone a bit of a growth spurt in recent years, you’re spot on.  The fact is that most of us are eating (or being served up) much larger amounts of food than in the past and this is adding to the challenge of maintaining a healthy weight.
  
• Mini Food for Festive Entertaining
  We’re nearly into the festive season and everybody wants maximum impact with minimum effort. Mini food makes it possible to achieve a wow factor with value for money, healthy choices everyone will enjoy.

Welcome to the Jalna Living winter e-newsletter! It may be cold and grey outside, but there’s no reason not to feel inspired about what we eat. This issue I’ve looked at some super winter soups and why they are so good for us. There’s also an article to inspire you to try something new, and I’m sure you’ll love the Pear & Oatmeal Yoghourt Muffin recipe featured – great to take to work or classes.

Kind regards

This Jalna Living issue has:

• A recipe for Pear & Oatmeal Yoghourt Muffins
  
• Soup up your diet
  Soups are an excellent way to warm up and stay healthy in the colder months, and help meet your five vegetables a day target. So why not explore the power of soups.
  
• Be inspired, again!
  They say that everything old is new again; food our mothers and grandmothers made is suddenly ‘hot’ today. But what these old favourites reflect is a more relaxed approach to dining, where food is the pleasant centre of our lives, whether with family or friends.

Welcome to the Spring Issue of Jalna Living 2007

Spring always seems a perfect time for new ideas to help us look and feel good, as we start to shed all those heavy winter clothes. This issue we’re looking at healthy Mediterranean/Greek diets and we’ve got some great food ideas for spring too. Enjoy!

Kind regards, Karen Inge.

Jalna LIving this time includes:

• A recipe for Chicken Kofta with Mint Yoghourt
  
• A Fresh Look at Mediterranean/Greek Diets
  Is the Mediterranean diet better for us? It has been credited with many benefits and is claimed to offer not only good nutrition but also great taste.

  Greek food varies from region to region, but it highlights exceptional flavours and taste. There’s no reason we can’t emulate those in the northern hemisphere and aim for similar, great tasting meals.
