What new food trends might we see in 2017?   Many food websites are making predictions for trends you will see in 2017.   Here are some of them. Eat This, Not That is predicting these 2017 Food Trends : Sour Dough bread – if you like it, great as you will be seeing more sour dough bread in 2017.   Eat This, Not That believes it is because sour dough bread is fine to eat for those who are sensitive to gluten.   (But still not fine for those who are gluten intolerant.)   And some experts say the bacteria in sour dough bread is great for your digestive system, so enjoy every bite. Spices – what’s so new about spices?   McCormick notes that in 2017 we will be enjoying even more spicy foods like more peppercorn will be spicing up restaurant menus.   Move over regular pasta and make way for alternative pasta – many of us have already enjoyed zucchini noodles, quinoa-based noodles but more varieties are forthcoming in 2017.

Can you eat healthier when flying?   We just got back from a trip to the West Coast.   Delta now offers “Flight Fuel” with a range of healthier food choices.   Downside is the cost, no more “free lunches” on Delta.   They still offer free beverages but to fuel up, you pay up.   The good side is they now offer quite a few healthier choices for a snack or a meal.    Healthy Snacks Fruit and Cheese – you get 3 cheeses:   Muenster, Apple-smoked Gouda, and Vermont Sharp White Cheddar, some Flatbread crackers, almonds, red grapes, one strawberry and if they remember some chocolate.   We were supposed to get Ghirardelli’s dark chocolate square but this was missing from our snack packs on the west bound flight.   We ordered it again on our East Bound flight and didn’t get Ghirardelli chocolate but Hershey chocolate covered Acai Berries which were quite good. Pretzels or Peanuts :   When the flight attendant comes around offering pretzels o...
