WE’RE MAKING FRESH PRODUCE MORE ACCESSIBLE TO

EVERYONE

Fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables are beneficial for your health, the environment and our community. That’s why we’re expanding our collaboration with urban farmers and local growers to promote fresh, nutritious produce at farmers markets, farm stands and neighborhood food stores across North Texas.

Through programs like Double Up Food Bucks, we’re improving access to fresh produce for Texas families, creating more business for farmers, and boosting local economies. These efforts have created a growing network of fresh produce and healthy food access points for the community.

EThe Future Is Local: Food, Farms and Finding Our Way

leven years ago, we launched our Annual Farmers Market Pull-Out Guide in the centerfold of our July issue, with a simple goal: map North Texas farmers markets, county by county. We started small—but we knew it mattered.

Year after year, we grew the guide into something bigger. We added CSAs, working farms, and ranches. Then nurseries, garden centers, vegetarian and vegan restaurants, and farm-to-table spots. As demand grew, we included natural and organic meal subscriptions, prepared food services, and chefs. More producers. More tools. More value.

Today, it stands as the most complete and trusted local food guide in the region. Unique in format and purpose, it’s a standalone coffee-table piece when pulled from this issue—and a digital version lives online, always within reach on your phone.

But this issue isn’t just about a guide. It’s about a movement. It’s about food as connection, community, and story.

In a metroplex of more than 8 million people, North Texans are surrounded—almost miraculously—by working farms and ranches. That’s rare. And for over a decade, we’ve taken pride in helping our readers tap into that abundance.

The 2025 food landscape is shifting fast. This year’s big ideas:

• Hyperlocal sourcing within 25 miles, made possible by rooftop gardens, vertical systems, and urban farms.

• Regenerative agriculture that goes beyond organic to heal soil and store carbon.

• QR code transparency, turning produce into a story you can scan.

• Seasonal eating as both a culinary celebration and a cultural marker.

• Community food hubs, simplifying access to farm-fresh goods.

• Short-form video storytelling, bringing farm life to your screen.

• Direct-to-consumer models, where food boxes come with recipes, values, and stories built in.

Also in this issue:

Also in this issue, we invite you to explore beyond the plate. Carrie Jackson’s feature, “The Microadventure Mindset,” is a call to rediscover the natural beauty right outside your door. Many of her recommendations offer immersive experiences that honor North Texas’s rich agricultural legacy—perfect for a weekend outing or a spontaneous reset.

And for those ready to get their hands in the soil, Maya Whitman’s “Edible Landscapes: Creating Regenerative Sustenance” offers practical and inspiring steps to building your own food forest— even in the smallest urban spaces. It’s a perfect blend of ecological wisdom and everyday action.

Our July issue reflects everything we believe in: connection, wellness, sustainability, and a deep respect for the land and those who steward it. Whether you’re using our guide to plan your market route or dreaming up your own backyard forest, we’re honored to be on this journey with you.

And, as always, we hope you will find much in this issue to help along your journey to living a healthier life on a healthy planet.

Blessings until next month,

Autonomous Food Delivery Pilot Launches in Arlington

A new pilot program in Arlington is testing high-tech, low-emission food delivery to support underserved communities while improving air quality.

The Multimodal Delivery Demonstration Project, funded by a $780,000 U.S. Department of Energy grant, uses electric autonomous vehicles—including drones and four-wheeled robots—to deliver groceries to residents in East Arlington who face mobility or transportation challenges.

The two-year study began in 2024 and is led by a coalition of partners including the City of Arlington, Tarrant Area Food Bank, University of Texas at Arlington, North Central Texas Council of Governments, Dallas-Fort Worth Clean Cities Coalition, Airspace Link, Aerialoop, and Clevon.

Drones powered by Aerialoop transport food to drop-off hubs, where autonomous ground vehicles from Clevon complete the final leg to individual homes. The system is managed through Airspace Link’s AirHub Portal, which maps safe, low-impact routes away from busy streets and residential zones.

An initial demo in September 2024 delivered 139 boxes of food. The current phase, running through May 2025, is evaluating energy efficiency, air quality outcomes and community response. Project leaders say the pilot could serve as a model for zero-emission delivery to food-insecure neighborhoods across North Texas and beyond.

Dallas Zoo Brings Back $1 Admission Days

This Summer

The Dallas Zoo is bringing back its wildly popular Dollar Days this summer, offering $1 admission on Thursday, July 17, and Tuesday, August 5. It’s one of the most affordable family outings in North Texas—and a great opportunity to connect with wildlife without breaking the bank.

On Dollar Days, visitors ages 3 and up can explore all 106 acres of the zoo and visit more than 2,000 animals, including elephants, giraffes, lions, and penguins. Guests will also enjoy discounted snacks priced at $1, $2, and $3, including popcorn, canned drinks, and frozen treats.

Tickets must be purchased online in advance, as they will not be available at the gate. Parking is $12 per vehicle, though guests are encouraged to ride DART’s Red Line to the zoo station to help reduce traffic.

“We’re proud to make the zoo more accessible for everyone,” said a Dallas Zoo spokesperson. “Dollar Days are all about bringing people together and inspiring a love for animals and nature.”

Celebrate Farmers Markets with America’s Farmland Trust

America’s Farmland Trust (AFT) is inviting Dallas-area residents to support their favorite local farmers markets during the 2025 Farmers Market Celebration, running through September. The annual nationwide campaign highlights the essential role markets play in connecting communities to fresh, local food while helping preserve working farmland.

Now in its 17th year, the AFT campaign encourages shoppers to vote for their favorite markets online at Markets. Farmland.org. Markets compete for national and regional recognition, along with cash awards that support future programming and growth.

“Farmers markets do more than offer fresh produce,” said AFT President John Piotti. “They support local economies, protect farmland, and bring people together.”

In 2024, more than 7,000 markets

participated in the celebration. AFT hopes to see even greater community engagement this year as consumers increasingly prioritize sustainability and wellness.

Abandoning Routine and Courting Delight

by Marlaina Donato

Summer presents a timely invitation to sip from a full cup, set aside to-do lists and sink our toes into all that shimmers. Somewhere between keeping the kids entertained and weeding the flower beds is an opportunity to tend to our abandoned joys. It can be as simple as noticing the tinkling of ice cubes in a glass or planning an enchanted picnic at sunset with colorful cloths draped beneath a tree.

Summer comes but once a year, and as our backyard blooms in vibrant hues, so should we. Buying new, sultry spices for the cupboard, scenting the bed sheets with stress-reducing ylang ylang essential oil, placing fresh flowers into a tea pot instead of a traditional vase or walking barefoot after a storm tells the nervous system that there is more to life than the chores. Inspiration is an unpredictable muse; waiting for her to notice us in our busy lives is most often futile. Combating the monotony of routine in small, daily gestures is easy and lights up our senses.

Relinquishing the common tendency to feel self-conscious is key. “Be brave enough to live life creatively,” says actor Alan Alda. Such courage may require that we break our

own rules. If you usually prefer venturing out with company, make a point of going out solo for a backroad drive with no destination and a good playlist. If you haven’t drawn since childhood, buy some colorful pens and doodle in a sketchbook. Host a fancy herbal tea party and invite a neighbor you’ve never spent time with.

Wear a breezy scarf and flowers in your hair, even if you’re just running errands. Ask someone you’ve long admired to go out on a date and attend a local free concert under the stars. Everyone that is accustomed to seeing you living life a little more low-key will get over it. Having a wild love affair with summer is good for the soul and might even change your life.

Shingles Vaccine May Reduce Dementia Risk

A recent study published in the journal Nature suggests a potential link between the shingles vaccine and a reduced risk of developing dementia. To investigate this correlation, the researchers analyzed data from a population of Welsh individuals residing in the United Kingdom. Adults born after September 2, 1933, were eligible for a free vaccination, whereas those born before that date were not. Nearly half of the eligible individuals received the vaccine, compared to a negligible number that missed the cutoff date.

The researchers compared the dementia diagnosis rates of the two groups and found that the vaccinated subjects were 20 percent less likely to develop dementia in the subsequent seven years as compared to the unvaccinated group. Notably, the protective effect was more pronounced in women than in men. Hypothesizing why the shingles vaccine had this effect, the study’s senior author, Dr. Pascal Geldsetzer, told The New York Times, “Inflammation is a bad thing for many chronic diseases, including dementia, [so] reducing these reactivations and the accompanying inflammation may have benefits for dementia.”

The shingles virus, which is caused by the same virus responsible for chickenpox, can remain dormant in nerve cells for decades before reactivating in older adults as their immune systems weaken. Symptoms include burning and tingling sensations, painful blisters, numbness and chronic nerve pain. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately one in three Americans will develop the condition in their lifetime, but only about one-third of adults over the age of 50 have been vaccinated.

Novel Defense Against Infections

A study by Israeli researchers published in the journal Nature reported that cellular structures known as proteasomes not only facilitate the breakdown of damaged proteins, but also generate small protein fragments, collectively referred to as peptides, that attack bacterial infections. Using lab experiments and computer modeling, the scientists identified hundreds of thousands of potential antimicrobial peptides from normal proteasome activity.

The study demonstrated the enhanced ability of proteasomes to produce protective peptides when confronted with a bacterial infection. To test this, scientists inhibited proteasome production in one group of human cells and left another group unaltered. Both groups were then exposed to salmonella. The infection thrived within the cells lacking proteasomes but was eradicated in the control group. This discovery could lead to the development of improved antibiotics and other infection-fighting therapies.

Paternal Dietary Influences on Sperm Quality

Genetic inheritance plays a crucial role in transmitting health-related information from parents to offspring. While lifestyle and environmental factors are known to impact sperm quality and influence the biological information passed on, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Animal studies have suggested that small, non-coding ribonucleic acid (sncRNA) regulates the activation and deactivation of genes in the sperm genetic material.

A study published in the journal Nature investigated the effects of a short-term dietary change on sperm quality. Eight men were provided with olive oil, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids as part of their diet for six weeks, while a control group of nine men maintained their standard diets. The researchers observed that the dietary intervention altered multiple sncRNA signals carried by the sperm, particularly those related to fatty acid metabolism and gene expression. These findings contribute to the growing evidence suggesting that paternal health and nutrition during conception may play a role in the developing embryo and possibly the long-term health of the child.

At-Home Cervical Cancer Screening

While the Pap smear helps diagnose more than 13,000 cases of cervical cancer annually in the United States, nearly a quarter of American women are lagging behind in their screening regimen due to various factors, including discomfort, pain, invasiveness or even traumatic experiences associated with the procedure. Recently, Teal Health, Inc. received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for an alternative cervical cancer screening device that can be used at home.

The Teal Wand enables individuals to self-collect vaginal samples using a swab, which is subsequently mailed to a laboratory for testing purposes, where it is analyzed to detect the human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes nearly all cervical cancers. A clinical study demonstrated that the Teal Wand was as effective as a Pap smear in detecting early-stage cervical precancers. Among the study participants, 94 percent preferred the self-collection method over the Pap smear, and 86 percent expressed a willingness to maintain regular screening if provided with this alternative option.

Tick-Borne Disease Spreads to Mid-Atlantic States

According to a paper published in the Journal of Medical Entomology, scientists found ticks carrying babesiosis disease in several Mid-Atlantic states. The rare, parasitic infection lives in the blood of rodents such as shrews, chipmunks and mice, and can be contracted by humans through tick bites. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, babesiosis can attack red blood cells and cause flu-like symptoms, including fever, chills, body aches, nausea and fatigue.

Historically, the disease has been reported in the Upper Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States. In this study, researchers collected more than 1,300 black-legged ticks from Virginia, Maryland and Delaware and discovered that 2.7 percent of the ticks carried the babesiosis parasite. Although the incidence rate is relatively low, these findings underscore the importance of healthcare providers in these states to be vigilant for the disease and provide appropriate treatment to affected individuals.

U.S. Air Quality Is Declining

According to a report from the American Lung Association (ALA), approximately 156 million Americans, or 46 percent of the population, lived in areas with unhealthy air quality from 2021 to 2023, the period of analysis in the most recent report. This represents a higher number of individuals than at any time in the preceding decade. Bakersfield-Delano, California, was the region most affected by pollution.

The report suggests that the United States is experiencing a decline in clean air measures. Record-breaking heat, drought and wildfire smoke caused by climate change are damaging air quality throughout the country. The ALA’s analysis is based on official air quality monitoring sites maintained by federal, state and tribal governments.

An unrelated 2023 report from Stanford University, published in the journal Nature, estimated that wildfire smoke has undone about a quarter of the progress achieved under the Clean Air Act of 1963.

Solar-Powered Sea Slug

The waters off the coast of the Philippines harbor a tiny sea slug known as the leaf sheep. Measuring only seven to eight millimeters in length, this remarkable marine invertebrate has black eyes, insect-like antennae with black tips that resemble sheep’s ears and spiky green appendages distributed across its body known as the cerata.

The leaf sheep feeds on Avrainvillea, a species of algae. After ingesting the algae’s cells containing chlorophyll, the slug stores it in the tissues of its cerata for up to 10 days. This allows the slug to supplement its algae-based diet with photosynthesis, a process typically reserved for plants that converts sunlight into energy.

Seeing a New Color

It is estimated that the human eye can see almost 10 million different colors. In a paper published in Science Advances, scientists described a precise laser setup that stimulated the retinas of five participants, three of which were co-authors of the paper, to perceive colors beyond the normal human visual range.

The procedure, called “Oz”, involved delivering minute doses of light to the cone cells in the eye responsible for detecting the color green. Each participant observed a saturated bluish-green color resembling teal, which the researchers named “olo”. The participants confirmed that olo was beyond the standard visual range by comparing it with a teal-colored laser and adjusting the saturation by subtracting white light.

Chilean Deep-Sea Ecosystems Discovered

An international team of scientists aboard a Schmidt Ocean Institute research vessel embarked on a 55-day expedition to explore cracks in the ocean floor along the Chilean coast. The cracks release methane gas bubbles into the ocean, feeding microbes that support a diverse array of life forms.

The team used remotely operated, unmanned underwater vehicles to dive up to 9,800 feet below sea level, allowing them to map the methane seeps, as well as four previously unexplored underwater canyons. The deep-sea ecosystems they discovered differed from site to site. At least 60 new species were identified.

Notable observations included red cusk-eels, a highly valued fish in Chile; large Humboldt squid; a bioluminescent anglerfish; and chemosynthetic clam beds that are able to survive without sunlight.

3D-Printed Train Station

The West Japan Railway Company replaced a 75-year-old train station in just six hours using 3D-printed components that were assembled overnight, between the last train at night and the first in the morning, directly adjacent to the site of the old station. Measuring only 100 square feet, the innovative 3D-printed station has a minimalist design and white color scheme.

The company estimates that it saved more than two months of nighttime construction work and half the cost of a traditional structure. The printing was done by the construction company Serendix at a factory 500 miles away. The parts printing procedure and concrete reinforcement took seven days to complete.

Rescuing Old Items for Garden Décor

Upcycling—the process of giving discarded or worn items new life—offers a sustainable alternative to wasteful consumption. By transforming ordinary objects into artistic creations, we can express our individuality and contribute to a more environmentally conscious society. The garden presents an ideal platform for upcycling because it allows us to repurpose obsolete items at low cost.

Whether we turn a rusty wheelbarrow into a flowerbed, salvage a thrift store teapot to use as a planter or rescue a well-worn table to become an outdoor potting station, our creativity can transform any outdoor space. Reviving haggard chairs and benches with vibrant colors or intricate designs elevates garden seating to new heights. Filling a retired bathtub or sink with plants, repurposing an unused clothing rack for hanging plants or turning a secondhand bookcase into a vertical garden are fun and surprising projects.

Repurposing Ideas

• For a touch of functional whimsy, fill chipped teacups with birdseed and hang them on tree branches.

• Paint and decorate discarded tires, then fill them with plants.

• Use shutters and doors as garden dividers.

• Lean an old wooden or metal ladder against a tree and place potted plants on the rungs, or use it as a trellis against a garden wall.

• Position an old bike to support climbing clematis, roses, ivy or morning glories.

• Use scraps of wood, bricks or pallets to create a rustic walkway.

• Turn metal or enamel colanders into hanging planters with built-in drainage.

• Use a weatherproofed baby carriage or doll stroller to showcase potted flowers on a porch, under a tree or at the edge of a garden.

• Turn old stainless-steel cutlery or wooden kitchen utensils into wind chimes or mobiles.

• Place tea lights in empty jam jars to light garden paths.

• Nestle a plant in a broken terracotta pot for a rustic, bohemian vibe.

• Use buckets as hanging planters for herbs, ferns or flowers.

• Fill old rubber boots with soil to make quirky planters and place them around the mailbox or front door.

Safety Tips

• Reinforce any loose parts to ensure that furniture, ladders and other objects can hold the weight of plants.

• Drill holes in items used as planters to provide proper drainage.

• Weatherproof wooden and wicker items with exterior latex paint, stain or sealants. Consider eco-friendly options such as versatile milk paint in earthy or vibrant hues. Remember to protect metal décor with an anti-rust coating or paint.

Heart of North Dallas: Saint Michaels Farmers Market Builds In-Town Community Roots

by Nancy Seigle

Every Saturday morning, the parking lot at Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church transforms into a vibrant, in-town hub of community and commerce. For nearly two decades, the Saint Michael’s Farmers Market has brought local farmers, ranchers and food artisans together with Dallas residents seeking fresh, homegrown products—all within the city limits.

But the market isn’t just about food. It’s about fellowship, connection and a shared mission to build a stronger, healthier community.

Located in the heart of North Dallas, Saint Michael’s Farmers Market stands out not just for its longevity, but for its in-town presence.

“Having a farmers market in the city is so important,” says Tricia Stewart, the market’s dedicated director since 2019. “You don’t have to drive out to the country to access local food. It’s right here in your neighborhood. That accessibility makes a huge difference.”

Unlike suburban or rural markets that often require a long drive, this walkable, bikeable gathering spot is fully integrated into the neighborhood.

“It’s not just convenient—it’s part of people’s Saturday routine,” Stewart says. “We’re surrounded by homes, schools and city streets, but the moment you step into the market, it feels like a village square. That’s what makes us special.”

From rows of colorful vendor booths to the sound of live music drifting through the air, there’s a rhythm and energy that draws

people in. Vendors’ faces light up as curious customers approach, and the atmosphere buzzes with lively conversations, friendly exchanges and the delicious aroma of fresh bread, roasted chilies and ripe produce.

Founded as an extension of the fellowship of the church, community outreach remains the market’s number-one goal. Stewart emphasizes its food-only model: all vendors must produce goods within 150 miles of Dallas County, and everything must be homemade or homegrown.

“Our focus is truly local,” Stewart says. “That’s what sets us apart and gives our market its heart.”

What truly makes Saint Michael’s special, she notes, is the spirit of cooperation and care.

“We help vendors set up their tents, and you’ll often see one vendor helping another,”

she says. “It’s a community that truly supports each other. There’s a lot of paying it forward.”

For Stewart, leading the market is more than a job—it’s a calling.

“I feel so lucky to do this work,” she says. “My favorite part is the relationships I’ve built— with our vendors, volunteers and neighbors. We’re not just selling food—we’re creating joy, every Saturday morning.”

The Saint Michael’s Farmers Market is open April through September, from 8 a.m. to noon, rain or shine (except during thunderstorms). Come early, bring your bags and be a part of something truly local, truly in-town and truly special.

For more information, call 214-363-5471 or visit SaintMichaelsMarket.com.

The Microadventure Mindset

Finding Natural Splendor Close to Home

by Carrie Jackson

While many of us dream of epic journeys to faraway places, humbler excursions can also provide unforgettable memories and experiences. British adventurer and bestselling author Alastair Humphreys coined the term “microadventure” to describe a brief and inexpensive outdoor jaunt close to home. From a weekend getaway on a nearby hiking trail to an afternoon visit at a local park, microadventures offer flexible scheduling, budget-friendly options, health benefits and a deeper connection to Mother Earth.

“I think that microadventures are popular right now because we are short on time, and money is tight for many people,” says Humphreys, a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year. “We are ridiculously busy in our daily lives, but we are also craving the physical and mental respite of time in nature—fresh air, exercise and time away from our cursed phones. It’s great to have the adventure of a lifetime, but until that lucky opportunity comes around, why not try to have a lifetime filled with tiny little experiences squeezed around the margins of busy daily life?”

Nearby Adventures

Humphreys has traveled the globe experiencing extraordinary adventures such as rowing across the Atlantic Ocean, walking the length of the holy Kaveri River in India and traversing Iceland by foot and packraft. More recently, he dedicated a year to enjoying adventures in his own neighborhood, as recounted in his book Microadventures: Local Discoveries for Great Escapes

“I focused on the single, small local map centered around my home, covering about five miles in each direction from my front door,” explains Humphreys. “At first, I worried that this would be too small, too boring or too claustrophobic. But I realized that once I slowed down, paid attention and had an adventurous mindset every day, I started to discover new places close to home I’d never seen before—new streets, new parks, new patches of woodland, new places to run. I found fragments of wild places where I could sit with a cup of coffee, all within sight of the skyscrapers of the biggest city in my country.”

Humphreys encourages others to embark on a similar year of localized exploration, reminding them to establish realistic goals and remain open to novel experiences. He also

suggests aligning activities with the seasons to harmoniously celebrate the natural order. Visit the same spot during each equinox and solstice, for example, to appreciate the way the landscape changes over the course of a year. A mountain view or shoreline feels and looks different in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

“Declare your intention and outline your plans,” Humphreys recommends. “Sleep outside one night. See a sunrise blaze across the sky for a romantic Valentine’s Day. Celebrate blue moons and other celestial events.” Natural splendor is all around us.

Awe and Resourcefulness

Kameron Stanton is the chief operating officer and event manager for Black People Out-

side, a Chicago-based organization founded during the pandemic to encourage people of color to get outside and explore. A weekend trip with his partner, Chevon Linear, to the Grand Teton National Park during lockdown was a memorable experience. “Seeing the stars so clearly at night unlocked something in us,” Stanton recalls. “We regained a respect for Mother Nature and what the beauty of the outdoors could do for your psyche.”

A microadventure in nature presents Stanton with unique survival challenges. “In the city, everything is zooming past you so quickly. When you are outside in the wilderness, you are often alone with your thoughts and have to fend for yourself in a different way,” he explains. “If you don’t build a fire, you’re going to be cold. If you don’t have the right equipment, you could get in trouble. There are little things the outdoors can teach you in a controlled manner. You learn lessons in planning and structuring your day, while still having fun and discovering new things about

yourself and the world you’re in.”

Nature’s Rewards

“Activities like hiking help build strength, endurance, respiratory health, weight loss and so many other physical elements,” Stanton asserts. “Most people you meet who regularly spend time outdoors tend not to be angry and upset. They’re looking at the brighter side of things because they are literally around brighter things. Nature feeds you and helps you feel grounded with your thoughts and feelings.”

Microadventures can also be opportunities for social engagement. Stanton suggests joining a local club related to an interest such as fishing, running or birdwatching. “Once you start having microadventures, you’ll connect with like-minded people, and you never know where that may lead you,” he says.

There are myriad ways to enjoy a microadventure in almost any environment, includ-

Food You Can Feel Good About!

ing hiking, kayaking, biking, skiing, climbing, rollerblading and fishing. “Forest preserves and state and national parks offer incomparable views and trails year-round. They tend to have a low admission price, and most are accessible as long as you have a vehicle,” says Stanton, noting that a lazy afternoon fishing or tubing down a river may be just a short drive away.

Planning for a Hiking Trip

Day hiking has become a popular pastime, in part because it combines many of the advantages of microadventures. “It offers a perfect opportunity to break away from the routine, explore nature and enjoy the mental and physical benefits of being outdoors," says Jacqueline Kehoe, a journalist and expert advisor for Recreational Equipment, Inc.

Protein-Forward Breakfasts

Starting the Day Strong

by Marlaina Donato

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, approximately 85 percent of Americans aged 20 and older consume breakfast daily, with eggs being a common component. Eating protein during the first meal of the day can help us feel full longer, balance blood sugar levels and potentially alleviate chronic anxiety. In addition to complex carbohydrates, fiber and heathy fats, the Mayo Clinic recommends that a nutritious breakfast always include lean protein.

“Protein is the master synthesizer, essential in its role in muscle building, immune function and energy balance,” says Melissa Halas, a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified diabetes educator in California. “Including protein early in the day helps prevent the common energy dip mid-morning and keeps satiety levels high, supporting healthy metabolism and preventing overeating later.” Protein requirements increase during periods of stress, recovery from injury or surgery, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and life

stages such as childhood, adolescence and the golden years.

Thinking Outside the Cereal Box

Typical sweet cereals favored by kids often contain a high sugar content of 12 grams per cup, which is half of the daily recommended added sugar allowance for young children, as outlined by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Replacing low-nutrient, high-carbohydrate choices like white-flour pancakes and sugary cereal with delicious, plant-based scrambles, naturally sweet or savory breakfast bowls and delectable fruit parfaits can be both simple and satisfying.

Even if our breakfast choices are already healthier, a little extra fortification can do the body good. “Many common breakfasts like oatmeal and avocado toast don’t have enough protein, so it’s a good idea to be diligent about meeting your protein needs at breakfast. It’ll set you up for better energy, focus and satisfaction throughout

the morning, plus better metabolism. The key is combining protein with fiber and healthy fats to keep you full and fueled until lunchtime,” says New York City-based Samantha Cassetty, a registered dietitian nutritionist, author of Sugar Shock and founder of Sam’s Plate, an online nutrition and wellness source.

Whether we incorporate a tablespoon of unsweetened organic almond or peanut butter into oatmeal or layer smoked salmon and cream cheese on multigrain toast, an added source of protein can provide a boost of energy and vitality.

As a single mom, Cassetty understands the challenges of transitioning kids away from sugary foods and highly processed ingredients. She suggests making smart substitutions, such as serving whole-grain frozen waffles topped with berries and protein-rich Greek yogurt or breakfast nachos with whole-grain tortilla chips instead of breakfast tacos in highly processed taco shells. For a fun breakfast parfait, she heats frozen berries until they release their juices and then mixes the warmed fruit with plain Greek or plant-based yogurt. To enhance the texture and nutritional value, she adds a spoonful of chunky nut butter, a sprinkle of nutritious seeds or low-sugar granola.

Boosting the Protein Content

An extra-hearty breakfast can be as simple as adding a scoop of whey or plant-based protein powder into a whole-grain waffle mix or blending grass-fed gelatin powder into a

smoothie. Protein-rich tofu, which is virtually tasteless when unseasoned, not only absorbs any flavors added to it, but also transforms into a luscious pudding when blended with a dash of plant-based milk, cinnamon and dates.

For Halas, tofu scrambled in a pan as an egg substitute and served on a whole-grain tortilla with turmeric and vegetables offers a well-balanced combination of protein and carbohydrates. She also recommends multipurpose cottage cheese, a favorite of generations

past, for breakfast bowls mixed with berries, flaxseeds and walnuts, or spread onto toast with avocado. Full- or reduced-fat ricotta can provide a healthy alternative, as well.

Nutrient-dense pseudo-grains like quinoa and amaranth offer versatility. “Quinoa is traditionally eaten for breakfast in countries such as Peru as a warm porridge known as pesque,” explains Halas. “You can cook quinoa or amaranth in cow or plant milk and top it with fruit, seeds and cinnamon for a warm cereal bowl particularly well-suited for vegetarian, gluten-free and anti-inflammatory diets, making it an excellent alternative to conventional grains at breakfast.”

Cassetty offers a savory variation, saying, “You can use quinoa to make a breakfast grain bowl with sautéed spinach, eggs and a seasoning like pesto.” She also encourages using dinner leftovers for morning nourishment.

Most of all, breakfast should feel doable. “I recommend making breakfast nourishing, satisfying and practical—something you can prep ahead of time or whip up fast,” advises Halas.

SOUTHWESTERN-STYLE TOFU BREAKFAST SCRAMBLE

YIELD: 2 SERVINGS

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp ghee, butter or vegan butter, unsalted

1 block firm tofu

¼ tsp smoked paprika

1 dash turmeric powder

Smoked salt to taste

2 Tbsp fresh salsa

2 Tbsp fresh guacamole

Drain water from tofu and pat dry, then crumble it by hand or smash it with a fork or potato masher.

Warm the olive oil and ghee or butter in a pan over high heat until melted. Add the crumbled tofu to the pan, moving it quickly from side to side with a spatula for about 2 minutes until it resembles the consistency of scrambled eggs.

Reduce the heat to medium and add smoked paprika and turmeric. Stir until spices are well distributed and the color is even throughout the scramble.

Serve immediately with a sprinkle of smoked salt. Add fresh salsa and guacamole, if desired, on the side or spooned over the scramble.

HONEY PAPAYA YOGURT PARFAIT

YIELD: 1 SERVING

½ cup plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or fat-free)

½ cup papaya, diced ½ cup low-sugar granola

1 tsp honey

Add ¼ cup of yogurt to the bottom of a 12- or 16-ounce glass. Add most of the diced papaya and granola and a drizzle of honey to the glass. Layer on the remainder of the yogurt. Top with the remaining papaya, granola and honey.

How North Texas residents, employers can help improve air quality

Improving air quality in North Central Texas is a shared responsibility, and residents and employers alike have a vital role to play in fostering healthier air.

This is especially true during ozone season, which in the North Central Texas region lasts March 1 through November 30. During this window of time, there’s a greater risk of ground-level ozone, a harmful secondary air pollutant formed by the interaction of sunlight, heat and “so-called” pre-cursor pollutants, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). While ozone precursors come from multiple sources, vehicles, construction equipment, locomotives and aircraft account for about 60% of emissions. From December to February, North Texans tend to get a break from ground-level ozone since temperatures usually cool off.

The 2024 ozone season closed with a design value of 83 parts per billion (ppb), meaning Dallas-Fort Worth remains out of compliance with the federal government’s standards for ozone pollution. There are two such standards for North Texas: one from 2008 that established a limit of 75 ppb and a more recent 70 ppb standard from 2015. (As the new ozone season begins, Dallas-Fort Worth has a current design value of 74 parts per billion.)

Dallas-Fort Worth is currently classified as a “severe” nonattainment zone under the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2008 ozone standard and a “serious” nonattainment zone under the 2015 standard; the region has until 2027 to come into compliance.

The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) continues to support the implementation of various programs and policies to help the area meet attainment and avoid further sanctions. Efforts include:

Saving Money and Reducing Truck Emissions (SMARTE) Program: This NCTCOG initiative promotes fuel savings and emission reduction for the trucking industry through education and events. The program includes a yearlong web series that covered topics such as the EPA SmartWay Verified Technology

program, an initiative designed to reduce truck emissions. For more information on SMARTE, click here.

Dallas-Fort Worth Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP): The DFW AQIP initiative has been instituted to help local governments improve air quality, protect public health and reduce impacts of extreme weather events. The development of this plan is funded through a grant from the EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) Program. For more information, click here.

Engine Off North Texas (EONT): A regional initiative designed to combat the negative effects of unnecessary vehicle idling. For more information on EONT, click here.

North Texas residents can help by:

• Using Public Transportation: Consider using the region’s many mass transit options from Dallas Area Rapid Transit, the Denton County Transportation Authority and Trinity Metro, including buses, trains and on-demand rideshares.

• Reducing Trips, Increasing Passengers: Carpooling is a good way to reduce use of single-occupancy vehicles, while combining errands can cut back on the number of car trips.

• Taking Part in Air Quality Education Programs: Air North Texas is NCTCOG’s public awareness campaign, which aims to encourage North Texas residents, government agencies and businesses to pitch in to the effort to improve the North Texas region’s air quality.
