New Meatless Monday Cookbook
The Hamburger is an American Favorite that has lots of versatility. MeatlessMonday.com recently launched the Monday Burger Project. The goal of this project was to offer recipe options replacing a hamburger with one made with vegetables or beans for your Meatless Monday menu.
An average quarter-pound beef burger contains 31% of the recommended daily limit for saturated fat, and too much saturated fat has been linked to diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and other preventable conditions. What’s more, the average quarter-pounder requires almost 27 times its weight in livestock feed, 143 billion BTUs of fossil fuel energy and over 52 gallons of water (or 6,758 8oz glasses) to produce.
The free E-Cookbook recipes include everything from delicious veggie burgers to protein-packed bean burgers, with allergen and dairy free options available. Monday Burger E Cookbook

Eye on Potatoes
Consumer Trends

Recent
consumer potato consumption trends point to significant growth opportunities
for the U.S. potato industry, according to new research conducted by
Datassential, a food industry market research firm. The research shows that
nearly half (43 percent) of Americans surveyed report they increased their
potato consumption in 2012. Forty-six percent reported eating potatoes several
times per week at home or away from home, with 14 percent eating potatoes daily
or more than once a day.
According
to the research, consumers most often eat fries (57 percent), followed by
mashed potatoes (42 percent) and baked potatoes (37 percent). In the future,
consumers expect to order more baked potatoes when dining out (33 percent),
followed by orders of fries, sweet potato fries, and oven roasted/baked sweet
potatoes, all at 30 percent.
It’s
clear that Americans like potatoes; however, to a large degree, potatoes have
been left behind in all the innovation in the food-service industry. Expect to
see more variety of ethnic potato dishes and variety in type of potatoes on
menus, especial sweet potatoes.
