<p><strong>Dei Fratelli Tomatoes<br />

<p><strong>Barilla Pasta Sauce<br />
</strong>Every Barilla sauce reflects the love we have for authentic, Italian cooking…and for our pasta. We select only the ripest tomatoes. We sauté our vegetables in imported olive oil. Then we simmer our sauce until the pure, natural ingredients become thick and rich to “hug” every bite perfectly. Barilla. The sauce that hugs our pasta. Tutto Naturale.</p>
<p><strong>Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil<br />
</strong>Rich, robust and distinguished by a deep green color, Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a special blend of select high-quality extra virgin olive oils “cold pressed” to ensure a naturally full-bodied fruity flavor.

Just pour it on salads and pasta, add it to your marinades, hearty soups and sauces, or simply mix with cracked pepper and fresh herbs for a delectable dip.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Made from wholesome multi-grain ingredients, Barilla PLUS offers a well-rounded approach to balanced nutrition with the great taste and premium ingredients people expect from Barilla.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Barilla PLUS goes far beyond the benefits of whole-wheat pasta, first by offering a taste, color and texture similar to traditional Barilla pasta, resulting in a palate-pleasing meal, and also by delivering twice as much fiber as regular pasta.&nbsp; With 40-percent more protein than regular pasta, Barilla PLUS also is a good source of protein. Furthermore, Barilla PLUS contains heart-healthy omega-3 and is lower in fat than other protein sources like chicken, ground beef and salmon – nutrition never tasted so good.&nbsp; </span></p>

<p><b><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"></span></b><b><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"></span></b><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">We start with fresh, diced tomatoes and olive oil to provide the same richness and thickness found in homemade sauces. Then we add the freshest ingredients–like mushrooms, garlic, sweet peppers, olives, and basil–to create our authentic, premium collection of Italian pasta sauces. Our Traditional Red Sauces bring the flavors of Italy to America.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Based on a traditional Italian country recipe, Barilla Garden Vegetable Sauce melds the lively tang of tomato with a variety of coarsely chopped, sautéed vegetables - delicate zucchini, tasty eggplant, and sweet red bell pepper - as onions and herbs add zesty accents.</span></p>

<p><b><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"></span></b><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Not-from-concentrate juices have that right-from-the-grove, fresh-squeezed taste. And, just like fresh-squeezed juice, there’s no water, sugar, or preservatives added, only 100 percent pure premium quality pasteurized orange juices. One sip and you’ll taste the difference it makes.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">The difference is in how the fruit is processed. Not-from-concentrate means the fruit is squeezed, the juice is pasteurized and then packaged. From-concentrate means the fruit is squeezed, the water is extracted, which produces a concentrated form similar to that you see in the frozen food department. At a later time the water is added back in and the juice is pasteurized and packaged.</span></p>

<p>The holidays should be full of time with loved ones, laughter, and happiness. Make holiday meals guilt-free by using a few simple, and healthy recipes. <br />
<strong><br />
Healthy eating tips for the Holidays:</strong><br />
<br />
Before a gathering, plan to eat and drink sensibly:<br />
<br />
• Water is an appetite suppressant and drinking before and after a meal keeps you from munching. Make a sparkling mineral water cocktail by adding carbonated mineral water or Ice Mountain Spring Water and Ocean Spray Cran Pomegranate Juice with some fresh fruit slices. <br />
• Make sure to eat at least three meals a day that have a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This will help to feel full longer and prevent you from overheating at your next meal.<br />
• Use small salad plates instead of large dinner plates at meals.<br />
• Do without second helpings-use extra food for yummy leftovers.<br />
• Eat more slowly. Try putting your fork down between each bite and be active in the mealtime conversation. <br />
• Keep high-calorie foods out of site. Give the leftover apple pie to your company to take home.<br />
• Use NuVal to help you find healthier food choices in each aisle at your Meijer store. NuVal Scores are displayed directly on shelf price tags, so you can compare overall nutrition the same way you compare price. The higher the score the higher the nutrition-it’s that simple!<br />
<br />
<strong>Holiday Appetizer Tray</strong><br />
<br />
Include:<br />
<br />
• A selection of fresh Healthy One deli meats<br />
• Toasted Multigrain Wheat Thins<br />
• Munchable Sour Cream &amp; Onion Pretzel Crisps<br />
• Seasoned Diced Dei Fratelli Tomatoes<br />
• Vlasic Bread &amp; Butter and Kosher Dill Pickles<br />
<br />
*Serve on a party tray lined with fresh kale for garnish<br />
<br />
<strong>Get Creative with Green Tea</strong><br />
Green tea can help you live a healthier, happier life, especially during the holidays. From providing an abundant amount of antioxidants to preventing cancer, green tea has been shown to provide many health benefits. Tea contains antioxidant-rich flavonoids, called catechins, which have been studied for their effectiveness in preventing chronic illnesses such as cancer and heart disease.
