Nutre las conexiones familiares con cada bocado: Mejore la salud social, emocional y física con recetas con base en huevos
Cenar juntos semanalmente reduce el estrés, fortalece la autoestima y promueve la conexión familiar. Iniciativa “Together Tuesdays” de la American Heart Association destaca comidas con huevos.
(Family Features) Cenar juntos, brillar juntos. Las comidas semanales a la mesa con la familia pueden reducir el estrés, aumentar la autoestima y hacer que todos se sientan más conectados, todo mientras comparten alimentos deliciosos, saludables y fáciles de preparar.
Bríndele a su familia la oportunidad de reponer fuerzas y reconectarse cada semana con recetas que unan a todos. Ya sean 10 personas o dos, las investigaciones muestran que quienes disfrutan de comidas frecuentes con otras personas, particularmente padres con sus hijos, tienen un mejor bienestar social y emocional, según la American Heart Association.
Disfrutar de una buena conversación y de la compañía es la esencia de cada comida, y con los platillos adecuados, puede hacer que cada bocado sea tan delicioso como nutritivo. Los ingredientes como los huevos son asequibles, fáciles de usar y versátiles, lo que los convierte en la opción perfecta en la cocina para ayudarle a generar conversación.
Las yemas de huevo cocidas con delicadeza son el centro de atención en esta receta de raviolis de huevo con salvia y almendras, y los delicados huevos pochados descansan sobre granos integrales en la receta de huevos pochados con bulgur al pesto. Si el desayuno es el mejor momento del día para reunirse con los tuyos, prepare estos tazones de desayuno con quínoa y huevo al estilo del suroeste para añadir proteínas y fibra.
Estas recetas con base en huevos y más son parte de la iniciativa Together Tuesdays y Healthy for Good Eat Smart de la American Heart Association, apoyada a nivel nacional por Eggland’s Best. Ambas iniciativas enfatizan la importancia de reunirse al menos una vez por semana alrededor de la mesa con familiares o amigos para satisfacer los deseos de conexión, una comida deliciosa y una vida saludable en general.
Además de los beneficios sociales y emocionales de comer juntos, las comidas familiares compartidas pueden ayudar a promover opciones más saludables en la mesa.
Según la American Heart Association, los huevos, por ejemplo, pueden incluirse como parte de una dieta saludable para el corazón que enfatice verduras, frutas, nueces y semillas, cereales integrales, proteínas magras y pescado. Recuerde no aislar un alimento, no se trata solo del huevo, sino también de lo que se come junto con él. Por ejemplo, comer huevos junto con alimentos ricos en grasas saturadas, como el tocino, es diferente a comer huevos con verduras al vapor, granos integrales o una guarnición de fruta.

Raviolis de huevo con salvia y almendras
Receta cortesía de la American Heart Association
Raciones: 4
- 8 tazas de agua
- 1/2 taza de queso ricotta sin grasa
- 1 cucharada de queso parmesano rallado
- 1 1/2 cucharaditas de tomillo fresco picado
- 1/2 cucharadita de ralladura de naranja
- 1/4 cucharadita de pimienta negra
- 8 envoltorios de gyoza, shumai o wonton
- 4 yemas de huevo grandes, enteras
- 1 clara de huevo grande, ligeramente batida
- 2 cucharaditas de aceite de oliva
- 1/4 taza de almendras en rodajas, picadas
- 1 cucharada de salvia fresca picada
- 1 cucharada de pimiento rojo finamente picado (opcional)
- Llene una olla grande con agua. Ponga el agua a hervir lentamente a fuego medio-alto.
- En un tazón mediano, mezcle el queso ricotta, el queso parmesano, el tomillo, la ralladura de naranja y la pimienta.
- Coloque cuatro envoltorios con el lado enharinado hacia abajo sobre una tabla de cortar. Coloque 1 1/2 cucharada de mezcla de queso en el centro de cada envoltorio. Usando el dorso de una cuchara, presione la mezcla de queso para crear un hueco de aproximadamente 1 1/2 pulgada de ancho (el ancho de una yema de huevo grande), dejando al menos 1/2 pulgada de espacio alrededor de los bordes del envoltorio. Sin romperla, coloque con cuidado una yema de huevo en el centro de cada hueco.
- Con una brocha de pastelería, unte los bordes de los envoltorios con clara de huevo. Coloque un envoltorio en la parte superior con el lado enharinado hacia arriba sobre cada envoltorio inferior. Usando los pulgares y los índices, presione firmemente los bordes para sellar herméticamente cada ravioli. Poner a un lado.
- Con una espátula o cuchara ranurada, vierta con cuidado cada ravioli en el agua hirviendo. Cocine durante 2 1/2 a 3 minutos o hasta que los envoltorios estén al dente (cocidos, no demasiado blandos, pero tampoco demasiado cocidos). Con una cuchara ranurada, retire suavemente los raviolis de la olla, escurriéndolos bien. Colóquelos en los platos. Rocíe con aceite. Espolvorear con almendras, salvia y pimiento morrón, si lo desea.
Consejos: Se prefieren los envoltorios de gyoza (o de shumai) porque son más delgados que los envoltorios de wonton. Busque envoltorios de gyoza en el pasillo de productos lácteos, en el departamento de delicatessen o en la sección de congelados.
Utilice estas pautas para determinar cómo desea que se cocinen los huevos: A los 2 minutos y medio, los huevos están amarillos y ligeramente espesos, pero no duros en los bordes, similares a los fritos. A los 3 minutos, los huevos tienen un color naranja más oscuro y están ligeramente cocidos en los bordes, similares a los que se cocinan a la plancha.
Huevos pochados con bulgur al pesto
Receta cortesía de la American Heart Association
Raciones: 4
- 2/3 taza de bulgur instantáneo o de grano fino crudo
- 1 1/3 tazas, más 2 cucharadas, de caldo vegetal sin grasa y bajo en sodio, dividido
- 1 taza de albahaca fresca bien compacta
- 2 cucharadas de nueces picadas, tostadas secas
- 1 diente de ajo pequeño, picado
- 1/8 cucharadita de sal
- 1 pizca de pimienta cayena
- 1/2 taza de pimiento morrón amarillo o rojo finamente picado
- 1/4 taza de cebollas verdes cortadas en rodajas finas
- 4 tazas de agua
- 1 cucharada de vinagre blanco
- 4 huevos grandes
- 1 limón mediano, cortado en 4 gajos
- En una cacerola mediana, prepare el bulgur según las instrucciones del paquete, omitiendo la sal y sustituyendo el agua por 1 1/3 tazas de caldo. Mezclar con un tenedor.
- En un procesador de alimentos o licuadora, procese la albahaca, las nueces, el ajo, la sal, la cayena y el caldo restante hasta que quede suave. Incorpore la mezcla de albahaca, pimiento morrón y cebollas verdes al bulgur.
- En una sartén grande, ponga a hervir el agua y el vinagre a fuego alto. Disminuya el fuego y deje cocinar a fuego lento. Rompa un huevo en una taza y luego deslícelo con cuidado en el agua hirviendo a fuego lento. Repita con los huevos restantes, colocándolos en agua de forma que no se toquen. Cocine a fuego lento durante 3 a 5 minutos o hasta que las claras estén completamente listas y las yemas comiencen a cocinarse pero no estén duras. Con una cuchara con ranuras, escurra bien los huevos y colóquelos sobre la mezcla de bulgur. Servir con rodajas de limón.
Nota: El vinagre blanco ayuda a reafirmar las claras de huevo rápidamente, evitando que se extiendan demasiado.
Tazones de desayuno con quínoa y huevo al estilo del suroeste
Receta cortesía de la American Heart Association
Raciones: 4
- 1/4 taza de quínoa cruda, lavada y escurrida
- 2 tomates medianos (aproximadamente 2 tazas), picados
- 1 taza de maíz congelado sin sal agregada, descongelado
- 1/2 aguacate mediano, sin semilla y cortado en cubitos
- 1/4 taza de cebollas verdes picadas
- 1/2 taza de cilantro fresco picado (opcional)
- aerosol antiadherente para cocinar
- 4 huevos grandes
- 1/8 cucharadita de sal
- 1/4 cucharadita de pimienta
- salsa de pimiento rojo picante, al gusto (opcional)
- Cocine la quínoa según las instrucciones del paquete. Retire del calor.
- Coloque la quínoa con una cuchara en cuatro tazones. Cubra cada uno con cantidades iguales de tomates, maíz, aguacate, cebollas verdes y cilantro, si lo desea.
- Rocíe ligeramente una sartén grande con aceite en aerosol antiadherente y caliéntela a fuego medio-alto. Rompa los huevos en la sartén. Espolvorear con sal y pimienta. Cocine sin tapar durante 3 a 4 minutos o hasta que las claras estén firmes pero las yemas aún estén líquidas. Con una espátula, transfiera con cuidado un huevo, con el lado dorado hacia arriba, a cada recipiente. Espolvorear con salsa picante, al gusto, si se desea.

Red Bull Reveals the New Red Bull® Spring Edition Cherry Sakura
Red Bull has launched the limited-time Spring Edition Cherry Sakura, a seasonal flavor available nationwide in both sugar and sugar-free options. This new variant features a bright profile of cherry, cherry blossom, and a hint of almond. With 80mg of caffeine per 8.4 fl oz can, it aims to capture spring’s vibrant energy.
Red Bull is leaning into spring vibes in a big way.
In a Feb. 23, 2026 announcement out of Santa Monica, the brand revealed Red Bull Spring Edition Cherry Sakura—a limited-time flavor designed to match the season’s “let’s get outside” energy. The release is available nationwide now, and it’s coming in two options: with sugar and sugar-free.
What it tastes like
Red Bull describes the new Spring Edition as a layered flavor built for people who want something bright, floral, and a little unexpected.
Here’s the profile the company shared:
- Cherry
- Cherry blossom (sakura)
- A touch of almond flavor
The result sounds like a spring-forward twist—sweet and fruit-led up front, with a floral note and a light, nutty finish.
What to look for on shelves
If you’re scanning the cooler, Red Bull says the Spring Edition Cherry Sakura will be easy to spot.
The cans are packaged in:
- White-colored 8.4 fl oz and 12 fl oz individual cans
- Cherry-red lettering accents
Like other seasonal drops, this one is expected to move quickly. Red Bull notes it will be sold at retailers nationwide “while supplies last.”
Same functional ingredients, new seasonal flavor
Red Bull also emphasized that Spring Edition Cherry Sakura contains the same functional ingredients as Red Bull Energy Drink, with the difference being the limited-time taste.
For caffeine context, the company says one 8.4 fl oz can contains 80mg of caffeine, which it compares to about the same amount as a home-brewed cup of coffee.
The bigger picture: Red Bull’s scale keeps growing
Seasonal flavors have become a reliable way for major beverage brands to keep things fresh, and Red Bull’s numbers show why these launches matter.
According to the company, Red Bull Energy Drink is available in 178 countries, and more than 13.9 billion cans were consumed in 2025 alone.
Bottom line
If spring flavors are your thing—or you’re just ready for something new in the energy drink lineup—Red Bull Spring Edition Cherry Sakura is officially in the wild. It’s nationwide, it’s limited, and it’s available with sugar or sugar-free, so you can pick your lane and stock up before it disappears.

Borden® Cheese Wants to Crown “America’s Favorite Grilled Cheese” — and Every Vote Could Win Free Cheese for a Year
Last Updated on March 12, 2026 by Daily News Staff
Grilled cheese is one of those rare foods that feels universal: it’s quick, comforting, kid-friendly, and endlessly customizable. You can argue bread (sourdough vs. white), spreads (butter vs. mayo), and fillings (tomato? bacon? pickles?), but there’s one truth most grilled-cheese fans agree on: the cheese is what makes the sandwich.
That’s the idea behind Borden® Cheese’s newest national campaign — a nationwide search to crown “America’s Favorite Grilled Cheese.” And yes, there’s a delicious incentive: every vote is also an entry for a chance to win free Borden Cheese for a year (plus kitchen supplies to keep the melt-magic going).
How the “America’s Favorite Grilled Cheese” vote works
From now through March 24, 2026, fans can head to WinFreeBordenCheese.com to vote for one of four grilled cheese contenders.
Here’s the fun part: each vote doubles as a sweepstakes entry for the grand prize — a full year’s supply of Borden Cheese and kitchen supplies.
Borden is also offering 100 instant-win swag packs, which include Borden coupons and branded merch designed to “level up” your sandwich game.
This campaign is also the kickoff to a bigger series of sandwich celebrations leading up to National Grilled Cheese Day on April 12, 2026.
Meet the contenders: four very different takes on grilled cheese
Borden isn’t just putting one “standard” grilled cheese up against another. The four options are meant to represent a range — from classic comfort to trend-driven flavor combos.
1) The Classic
The timeless, ooey-gooey grilled cheese built with Borden American and Extra Sharp Melts on buttery white bread.
If you’re a purist, this is the lane.
2) The Spicy Big Dill
Pickles are having a moment in 2026, and this sandwich leans all the way in: Borden American Singlesand Provolone Slices paired with hot and spicy dill pickles, whipped cream cheese, and ranch seasoning.
It’s tangy, spicy, creamy, crunchy — and built for trend-watchers.
3) The Crispy Onion & BBQ
A savory, texture-forward option featuring Borden Swiss Slices, crispy fried onion strings, and a tangy BBQ sauce kick.
If you like your grilled cheese with a little “cookout energy,” this one’s calling.
4) The Mad Scientist
This is the wildcard: a grilled cheese where the bread is replaced with cheesy waffles, filled with “cheese upon cheese.”
It’s playful, over-the-top, and basically designed for anyone who believes moderation is overrated.
The bigger tease: “Borden’s Grilled Cheese of the Year”
While the public vote will determine “America’s Favorite Grilled Cheese,” Borden is also building anticipation for something else: its first-ever “Grilled Cheese of the Year.”
The brand says the final recipe will be informed by culinary trends, consumer cravings, and — of course — cheese, but the details are still under wraps. The reveal is expected as part of the lead-up to National Grilled Cheese Day (April 12).
In other words: the vote is the appetizer.
Why Borden is leaning into grilled cheese right now
Borden® Cheese has long positioned itself as a family-friendly staple — made with real milk and owned by American dairy farm families. With more than 25 distinct flavors and types, the brand is using this campaign to remind shoppers that grilled cheese isn’t just a childhood throwback; it’s a flexible, modern comfort food that can move with trends.
As Jenny Mehlman, Senior Director of Marketing, Cheese, Taste & Flavors at Dairy Farmers of America, put it: Borden is kicking off National Grilled Cheese Day early with a national call to help name “America’s Favorite,” and continuing the celebration by declaring its first-ever “Grilled Cheese of the Year.”
Want in? Here’s where to vote
If you want to weigh in (and potentially score a year of free cheese), you can vote now through March 24, 2026 at:
Whether you’re Team Classic, Team Pickle, Team BBQ, or Team Mad Scientist, this is one of those low-effort, high-reward food votes that’s actually fun.
Quick takeaway
Borden® Cheese is officially turning grilled cheese season into an event — with a national vote, instant-win swag, and a grand prize that’s basically a dairy lover’s dream.
Now the only real question is: which contender are you voting for?
