Recetas inspiradas en 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)
  1. Llene una olla grande con agua. Ponga el agua a hervir lentamente a fuego medio-alto.
  2. En un tazón mediano, mezcle el queso ricotta, el queso parmesano, el tomillo, la ralladura de naranja y la pimienta.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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)
  1. Cocine la quínoa según las instrucciones del paquete. Retire del calor.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Lighten Up: Fresh Spring Meals That Won’t Weigh You Down

(Feature Impact) Put away the heavy coats and break out the rain jackets and rubber boots – spring is here, and with it comes more than just pop-up showers and sunshine. After months of comfort foods and curling up indoors, you may be ready for lighter meals that won’t weigh you down before splashing in the puddles.

Fresh produce may first come to mind, but spring bites can also mean swapping out ingredients like regular pasta for a solution such as pearl couscous. If you’re looking to complement greens, veggies, fish or meats with light yet filling flavor, consider Success Boil-in-Bag Pearl Couscous, a small, mediterranean-style pasta that always cooks right and is ready to eat in under 7 minutes once the water boils. The BPA-free boil-in-bag simplicity makes cooking easy and foolproof: no measure, no mess, no stress.

Made with high-quality semolina wheat, it features a slightly nutty flavor on its own while absorbing the flavors of salads while retaining its density and chewy texture. It’s distinguished from traditional Moroccan couscous by its slightly larger, rounder shape and less dense, firmer consistency.

Try it with your next meal in this protein-forward Shrimp Pearl Couscous Salad, made using fresh herbs, citrus, seasoned shrimp and chickpeas for a jam-packed salad that screams spring. Never boring, the tender, seasoned couscous and shrimp, veggies and aromatic herbs can bring your family running to the kitchen after a day of play.

Or, for an even simpler dish that requires just 15 minutes in the kitchen, this Pearl Couscous and Chickpea Salad is light, bright and bursting with flavor. It brings together tender pearl couscous, crisp veggies and za’atar in every bite.

Survey Finds Cooking Oil Now Influences Where Many Americans Choose to Eat

A new survey suggests cooking oil is no longer just a kitchen detail. Coast Packing found that 43% of Americans say a restaurant’s cooking oil influences where they choose to eat.

New national survey data suggests cooking oil is becoming a visible factor in restaurant selection, with younger diners showing the strongest preferences.
Ingredient decisions in the kitchen may increasingly influence consumer perception.

New national survey data suggests cooking oil is becoming a visible factor in restaurant selection, with younger diners showing the strongest preferences.

A new national survey suggests that cooking oil is no longer just a back-of-house decision for restaurants. It is increasingly becoming part of how consumers decide where to eat.

According to new data released by Coast Packing Company, 43% of Americans say a restaurant’s cooking oil influences their dining choice. The survey, based on responses from 1,005 U.S. consumers, points to a clear shift in how ingredient decisions are perceived by the public.

Link: https://stmdailynews.com/oven-baked-hash-brown-potatoes-crispy-flavorful-every-time/

The strongest signal comes from younger diners. Among adults ages 18 to 34, 52% say knowing whether a restaurant uses Beef Tallow or seed oils affects where they choose to eat. Among consumers 55 and older, that number falls to 33%.

The preference gap also shows up when diners are asked to choose between two otherwise identical restaurants. In that scenario, 31% of adults ages 18 to 34 say they would choose the restaurant using Beef Tallow, compared with 19% of adults 55 and older.

The survey also found that 24.7% of diners prefer restaurants to use traditional animal fats such as butter or Beef Tallow, while 15.6% prefer seed or vegetable oils. That suggests ingredient choices once treated mainly as operational decisions may now be influencing brand perception, menu appeal, and customer loyalty.

For restaurant operators, the findings point to a broader change in consumer behavior. Diners, especially younger ones, appear increasingly interested in how food is prepared and what ingredients are used behind the scenes. That shift aligns with wider food industry trends that emphasize transparency, flavor, and traditional preparation methods.

Coast Packing says the data builds on years of tracking consumer attitudes toward animal fats. Earlier research showed growing openness to ingredients such as Lard and Beef Tallow, particularly among younger consumers who associate them with flavor and old-school cooking. This latest survey goes a step further by suggesting those views are now influencing actual dining behavior.

The findings also match broader market signals. Whole Foods Market’s 2026 food trend forecast identified Beef Tallow as an emerging ingredient gaining visibility, while analysts continue to project growth in the global tallow sector through 2030.

Restaurants are unlikely to overhaul kitchen practices overnight. Still, the survey suggests cooking oil is becoming more than a technical ingredient choice. For a growing share of consumers, it is part of the dining experience itself.

Purely Elizabeth Launches Purely Glow Granola, Its First Beauty-Inspired Limited Edition

Purely Elizabeth debuts Purely Glow Salted Vanilla Pistachio Granola, a limited-edition, beauty-inspired blend with collagen peptides and biotin, timed to New York Fashion Week.

Published

Last Updated on April 1, 2026 by Daily News Staff

Purely Elizabeth is stepping beyond the breakfast bowl and into the “glow-from-within” conversation.

The Boulder-based natural foods brand announced the launch of Purely Glow Salted Vanilla Pistachio Granola, a limited-edition flavor that blends its signature crunchy clusters with beauty-inspired functional ingredients—including collagen peptides and biotin. The drop is timed to New York Fashion Week, signaling how quickly wellness brands are borrowing cues from beauty culture: trend-driven, ritual-focused, and built for social.

Purely Elizabeth debuts Purely Glow Salted Vanilla Pistachio Granola, a limited-edition, beauty-inspired blend with collagen peptides and biotin, timed to New York Fashion Week.
Purely Elizabeth introduces its first-ever beauty-inspired granola, Purely Glow Salted Vanilla Pistachio, with collagen peptides and biotin, for a limited time.

Why a “beauty granola” now?

If you’ve spent any time on TikTok lately, you’ve seen the shift: wellness content is increasingly framed like skincare—daily routines, “non-negotiables,” and ingredients people swear by.

Purely Elizabeth points to that momentum in the announcement, noting that TikTok posts featuring collagen increased by 70% over the past year compared to the previous two years. At the same time, pistachio has had its own breakout moment, with 55,000 pistachio-related TikTok posts in the most recent year—a 104% increase over the prior 24 months.

Translation: consumers aren’t just shopping for flavor anymore. They’re shopping for functionaesthetic, and ritual.

What’s inside Purely Glow Salted Vanilla Pistachio Granola

On the flavor side, Purely Glow is positioned as an elevated, dessert-leaning blend built around a salty-sweet profile:

  • Organic oats
  • Roasted pistachios
  • Real vanilla bean
  • A hint of sea salt

From a nutrition and formulation standpoint, the granola is:

  • Gluten-free
  • Sweetened with coconut sugar
  • Baked with coconut oil
  • good source of fiber
  • Enriched with collagen peptidescoconut water powder, and biotin

Founder and CEO Elizabeth Stein says the concept comes from a personal place—bringing together “nourishing food and daily beauty rituals,” and leaning into the idea that what you eat can be part of how you care for yourself.

A collab that takes it beyond the grocery aisle

To push the launch into lifestyle territory, Purely Elizabeth is partnering with Cha Cha Matcha for a limited-time “Purely Glow” menu at all locations.

The menu includes:

  • Pistachio Matcha Lattes (hot or iced)
  • Purely Glow Yogurt Parfait layered with coconut yogurt, matcha chia pudding, and topped with Purely Glow Granola

The brand is also hosting “Glow Up” pop-up events to bring the product to life:

  • Cha Cha Matcha Flatiron (NYC): February 12, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., plus the weekend
  • Cha Cha Matcha Beverly Hills: February 20–22

Availability and price

Purely Glow Granola launches February 12 for $7.99 and will be sold until it sells out. It’s available exclusively via:

  • PurelyElizabeth.com
  • TikTok Shop
  • Cha Cha Matcha locations

A brand move that fits the moment

Purely Elizabeth has been around for 16 years and says it has remained the #1 granola brand in the natural channel for more than eight consecutive years—so this isn’t a reinvention as much as a strategic expansion.

The bigger takeaway: food brands are increasingly marketing like beauty brands. Limited editions. Ingredient storytelling. Collabs. Pop-ups. Social-first launches.

Purely Glow is a clean example of that playbook—built around a trending flavor (pistachio), a trending function (collagen/biotin), and a cultural moment (NYFW) that makes the product feel like more than breakfast.
