YOUTH FIRST TODAY MEALS IN Monica's MINUTES PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND STUFFING By Monica Sinclair Pork chops and applesauce! If you've ever watched Brady Bunch, you know that line, although I'm not sure I can say it exactly like Peter. This week's recipe is pretty close to pork chops and applesauce, and then also adds in flavorful stuffing. It's only four ingredients, so din- ner will be ready quickly, with hardly any mess. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS • 6 boneless pork loin chops (6 ounces each) • 1 tablespoon canola oil • 1 package (6 ounces) crushed stuffing mix • 1 can (21 ounces) apple pie filling with cinnamon DIRECTIONS 1. In a large skillet, brown pork chops in oil over medi- um-high heat. 2. Meanwhile, prepare stuffing according to package directions. 3. Spread pie filling into a greased 13x9 -in. baking dish. Place the pork chops on top; spoon stuffing over chops. 4. Cover and bake at 350° for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake until a thermometer reads 145°, about 10 min- utes longer.

I'm sure it's safe to say we've all heard the phrase, "You are what you eat" at some point in time. Recent research in- to food and its effects on the body and mind may have us saying a new phrase: "Change your food, change your mood." Our brains are made of neural path- ways, transmitters, and chemicals that make up and regulate our thoughts and moods. The foods we eat impact the bal- ance of these chemicals. Something as simple as our lunch choice could have the power to impact our feelings and emo- tions, for better or worse. For example, serotonin, the feel good neurotransmitter, makes us feel happy. When serotonin levels drop, one may feel sad or depressed. Serotonin is di- rectly linked with an amino acid found in food, tryptophan. Diets consisting of foods with low or no tryptophan levels lead to depleting serotonin in the brain. This in turn then can cause irritability, aggression, lowered mood, and impaired memory. Diets including foods with high levels of tryptophan can provide the opposite effect and raise serotonin levels natural- ly. Turkey is one food that is high in tryp- tophan, so don't just relegate turkey to Thanksgiving dinner! Nuts and seeds, such as almonds, cashews, peanuts, wal- nuts, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds are also foods to eat to get a mood boost from tryptophan. Another dietary tweak that could low- er risk for depression, especially in wom- en, is to drink coffee regularly. Coffee boosts dopamine and norepinephrine, which are also feel good neurotransmit- ters in the brain. A National Institute of Health study tracked women over a ten- year period (1996 -2006) and found wom- en who drank coffee regularly through- out the week had lower reported depres- sive episodes than non-coffee drinking women. How about a sweet treat to go with your coffee? Dark chocolate has been found to increase serotonin levels naturally as well, leading to improved mood. Banan- as can also be included on a list of foods that will decrease negative mood-relat- ed symptoms thanks to their high vita- min B6 levels. Other amino acids, such as L -theanine and Omega-3, a fatty acid, minerals such as magnesium and zinc, and antioxidants can reduce anxiety symptoms. Salmon is a great source of Omega-3 and can al- so alter dopamine and serotonin levels, packing a double advantage to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dark leafy greens, such as spinach and Swiss chard, contain magnesium which can lower anxiety. Blueberries are anoth- er food with potential to alter one's mood. Flavonoids, an antioxidant found in blue- berries, assist in regulating mood, in ad- dition to the other health benefits eating fresh fruit provides. The foods listed above are not an ex- haustive list. If you are considering a ma- jor change to your lifestyle, please consult a physician and/or nutritionist. Chang- ing your diet, such as eating a banana for a snack, or swapping out the lettuce in a salad with dark greens, can impact over- all health and mood for the better.
