🥞 Saturday Morning in the Major Yum Kitchen! 🍳🥓

I’ve been craving pancakes for a while, so today I decided to whip up a delicious homemade breakfast!

On the menu: fluffy pancakes, scrambled eggs with smoked Gouda, and crispy bacon! 😋

And yes, those pancakes came from a box of Bisquick! 😂

Remember, cooking at home doesn’t mean everything has to be made from scratch. It’s about using what you have, enjoying the process, and preparing food just the way you like it!

Bonus: Leftover pancakes for another morning! 🙌🏽

What’s your favorite Saturday morning breakfast?

🍎🎀 Apples, Antioxidants & Breast Health

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Did you know that apples contain plant compounds being studied for their potential health benefits?

🔬 Quercetin: A flavonoid found especially in apple peels. Laboratory studies suggest it may influence inflammation, oxidative stress, and cancer cell growth.

🔬 Triterpenoids: Compounds concentrated in apple peels that have shown potential anticancer activity in laboratory research.

🍎 What does the science say?

While these findings are promising, there isn’t sufficient evidence that eating apples prevents or treats breast cancer.

Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables as part of a balanced diet supports overall health.

💡 Major Yum Tip: Keep the peel! It provides additional fiber and beneficial plant compounds.

🎀 Remember, no single food prevents cancer. Healthy lifestyle habits and recommended breast cancer screenings matter!

🎃 Pumpkin season is here! 🍂

When you think of pumpkins, you probably think of pies, lattes, and fall decorations. But there’s so much more to this seasonal favorite!

Pumpkin is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. It’s also a source of fiber, beta-carotene, and other nutrients.

Want to learn more about pumpkins and discover some ways to enjoy them beyond the traditional pumpkin pie? 😋

🐟🎀 Salmon, Omega-3s & Breast Cancer: What’s the Connection?

Yesterday, I learned that October 8 is National Salmon Day! Since October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I thought this would be a great opportunity to revisit the relationship between salmon, omega-3 fatty acids, and breast health!

🐟 What’s so special about salmon?

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).

🔬 What does the research say?

EPA and DHA help regulate inflammation in the body. While inflammation is a normal part of our immune response, chronic inflammation can contribute to biological processes involved in cancer development.

Researchers have investigated whether marine omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce breast cancer risk. Some studies have found promising associations, but results have been mixed, and more research is needed.

🥗 What does this mean for your plate?

Including salmon in your meals provides omega-3 fatty acids, high quality protein, and other essential nutrients. Pair it with vegetables and whole grains for a nutritious, balanced meal!

💡 Food for thought: No single food or nutrient has been proven to prevent breast cancer. Your overall dietary patterns and lifestyle habits matter more than any individual food.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s continue learning about the science behind what we eat!

🍎 What if improving your eating habits isn’t about knowing MORE about nutrition, but learning how to use what you already know? 🤔

We live in a world where nutrition information is everywhere.

Eat this. Avoid that. Count this. Eliminate that.

With so many messages about what we should and shouldn’t eat, it’s easy to overlook something important:

How does nutrition fit into YOUR actual life?

Your schedule, food preferences, budget, cultural traditions, cooking abilities, and personal goals all influence the choices you make.

And sometimes, the challenge isn’t a lack of nutrition knowledge. It’s figuring out how to apply that knowledge in ways that are realistic and sustainable.

At Major Yum Enterprises, I encourage people to look beyond the nutrition headlines, ask questions, challenge assumptions, and explore practical solutions that work for them.

That’s also the philosophy behind my one on one nutrition education consultations!

Butternut squash: it’s more than just a pretty decorative fall gourd! 🍂😂

You’ve probably seen plenty of winter squash decorating tables and fall displays this time of year. Let’s get that squash into the kitchen!

Coming up, I’ll show you how to peel and prep a butternut squash so it’s ready to use in all kinds of delicious dishes.

And yes…apparently I chose the jumbo edition for my demonstration. 🤣

🍂 It’s officially fall, so it’s time to bring back one of my favorite seasonal features!

Have you ever tried spaghetti squash? This versatile winter squash can be roasted and pulled into spaghetti like strands, making it a fun way to switch things up in the kitchen.

Check out this Major Yum throwback to learn more about spaghetti squash…including how to prepare it! 🍝🎃

Hello everyone! One of the reasons I love fall and winter is because it is winter squash season! Not only are winter squashes beautiful home decorations, but they are also delicious foods that can be prepared and consumed in numerous ways. You might see a winter squash roasted, stuffed, in sala

Have you ever tried a pawpaw? 🌳🥭

I recently went on a Ranger Led Pawpaw Hike at Fort Washington Park and got to learn about one of North America’s native fruit! I even found and tasted a few!

Pawpaws have soft, creamy flesh and a tropical flavor that reminded me of a banana/papaya combination. It’s funny that something that tastes so tropical grows right here in our region!

One of my favorite parts of the hike was learning more about how pawpaw trees grow. You can come across an entire patch of trees and still find surprisingly little fruit, which made finding this feel like a little treasure hunt. 😂

Food education doesn’t always have to happen in a kitchen or grocery store. Sometimes you can learn something new about food while hiking through the woods. 🌿

Have you ever eaten a pawpaw? If so, what did it taste like to you?
