Gluten-Free Tips 1) Use cornstarch, arrowroot or sweet rice flour instead of wheat flour to thicken gravies and sauces.

2) Offer rice, potatoes or gluten-free pasta in place of regular pasta.

3) Replace wheat flour with the same amount of rice or corn flour mixed with 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder as a batter for coating chicken or fish.

4) Incorporate gluten-free breadcrumbs, cornmeal or grits in recipes that require a crunchy texture or topping.

5) Use finely-ground, gluten-free breakfast cereals to replace graham crackers or cookies in piecrust recipes.

6) Cover baking sheets with foil or wax paper if they aren’t gluten-free baking sheets. This will prevent any accidental cross-contact if the pans aren’t 100% free of gluten-containing crumbs.

7) Use gray rather than black bakeware. Black bakeware tends to burn and brown gluten-free goods too quickly.

It seems that gluten continues to be among the latest buzzwords and trends in nutrition. But what is gluten, and is it really bad for us?

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. People with celiac disease have an autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. For those people, adherence to a gluten-free diet is the only treatment. There is more to consider in a gluten-free diet than just foods, though. Cross contamination can be another issue. If you are providing a gluten-free product for your customers, you must also consider the equipment that is used in the kitchen, such as toaster ovens, knives and cutting boards to ensure that no trace of gluten is present.

Do we need to be concerned about caffeine as we age?

Drinking coffee and other caffeinated drinks is not something people want to readily give up. While there are dangers associated with consuming too much caffeine, the effects of the stimulant on seniors in particular aren’t all negative.

Moderate (< or = 300 mg/day) use of caffeine can have benefits, even for the elderly. Research shows that regular consumption of caffeinated beverages lowers seniors’ risk of heart disease. Another study indicates a connection between caffeine and increased muscle strength in older individuals.

Excessive caffeine consumption, however, is known to lead to harmful effects, including reduced bone strength and increased blood

pressure. Too much caffeine can be especially risky for the elderly because of the increased threat of osteoporosis, which is marked by brittle bones and spinal problems. The Mayo Clinic also reports that caffeine can lead to dehydration from additional urination, but only if a person consumes more than 500 to 600 milligrams of caffeine a day (about 5 to 7 cups of coffee). Seniors are more sensitive to fluctuations in the amount of fluid in their body, so dehydration can cause them lightheadedness and result in a fall risk.

As we age and as caregivers to seniors, it is helpful to be aware of all the sources of caffeine that could be contributing to a daily amount.

PASTA 101

Renee Greiner, RDN, LD Martin Bros. Dietitian, Menu Systems Support & Advisor and School Specialist

Recipes for success start with quality ingredients and good practices tailored to the equipment, skill sets and production needs of your kitchen. Pasta is a longtime staple on any menu, but it can ruin a dish if not prepared correctly.

Here are eight tips for preparing perfect pasta: 1.

Use lots of water when cooking. 4-6 quarts of water per pound of pasta will help pasta cook without sticking together.

2.

Add salt. When water starts to boil, salt brings out pasta’s natural flavors. Adding salt to the water has little end effect on sodium, which rinses off when you drain the pasta. One cup of cooked pasta can only absorb about 20 mg of sodium.

3.

Don’t add oil. Oil will not prevent sticking and clumping during cooking.

4.

Use a timer. Pasta cook times vary, and people try to multi-task in the kitchen. Using a timer will help insure an al dente finish.

5.

6.

7.

8.

Stir pasta when you first add it to the boiling water. This will help prevent pasta from sticking together and sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Only rinse cooked pasta if it’s going to be used cold or held for later use.

Otherwise, you’ll rinse away the starch that helps sauce stick to the pasta.

Batch cook pasta if needed. Plan to cook in 15 minute intervals to keep up with service. Holding hot pasta for any time runs the risk of the pasta breaking down and creating poor quality pasta.

• Tomatoes

Consider frozen pasta, which can be a great option for consistency in your operation.
