Good to Know
- Paprika (in the mussels) is very high in vitamin C. The red pepper used to make the spice has five to six times the vitamin C found in lemons and oranges.
- Buttermilk (in the cupcakes) sounds like it's bad for you—but it's really not. Once a by-product of butter making, it's now manufactured from low-fat or non-fat milk and lactic acid.
- The radish tea sandwiches make a great light snack. Each one has less than 100 calories.
- Because of its high water content, Romaine is often overlooked as a health food. But the lettuce is packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, K, and C and dietary fiber.
- Eat the chicken burritos for a low-cal, high-fiber meal. Add more health benefits by using whole wheat tortillas.
