The Rebel Hero Roster was one of four rosters of legendary heroes in the galaxy. It described each listed person/droid and what made him/her a hero of the Rebel Alliance. Here are some abbreviated excerpts about each hero in the book.
Excerpts Edit
- Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and Garm Bel Iblis: The founders of the Alliance, no one could have done a better job than them, even if they were often divided on the issue of how to run it.
- Leia Organa: Princess of Alderaan, adopted daughter of Bail Organa, and later revealed to be the biological daughter of Anakin Skywalker, Leia was a beacon of hope to all of us who wanted true justice and freedom in the galaxy. Her Force-sensitivity apparently had something to do with this, according to her brother Luke. After Bail died, she was needed more than ever to spur on the Rebel cause, and she did it with a vengeance.
Soldiers, commanders and other heroesEdit
- Rahm Kota: A grizzled Jedi General who never trusted the clone troopers, Kota forced our cause to take more direct action, and we all owe him for that, even if his personality was not altogether likeable.
- Galen Marek and his clone: Though he used to be a remorseless Jedi killer, Marek proved himself a hero by saving the Alliance leaders from the Emperor in the Death Star in 2 BBY. Two years later, his one good clone saved Marek's lover Juno Eclipse's life and won a decisive victory for the Rebellion at Kamino.
- Juno Eclipse: Juno once committed a war crime when intimidated by Darth Vader, but she later pledged herself to the Rebel Alliance, and atoned for her crime by bringing Admiral Ackbar and the Mon Calamari and Quarren into the cause. Ackbar remembered her example, and advised his daughter to give more deserting Imperials a chance to prove themselves worthy.
- Gial Ackbar: Ackbar's genius in leading the Alliance fleet could rival that of the Imperial Grand Admirals. Even Thrawn himself couldn't outsmart a Mon Cala so devoted to depending on the Force.
- Carlist Rieekan: Rieekan still bears the burden of the destruction of Alderaan on his shoulders, but his extreme caution that resulted from it had saved the Rebellion from complete destruction multiple times. Even people who found it hard to love him are sincerely grateful for that.
- Jan Dodonna and Crix Madine: These are a couple of examples of former Imperials who became disillusioned with the Empire. Dodonna was forcefully flung into the Rebels' arms, but directed several victorious battles, and Madine was appalled by what the Empire was doing with his Storm commandos, and couldn't serve them anymore.
- Airen Cracken and Bren Derlin: Two Rebel soldiers, these men fought valiantly in the Battle of Hoth and helped win the Battle of Endor for the Rebellion.
- Dash Rendar: His activities have been mostly classified, due to his unorthodox behavior and smuggling activities, but he helped Leia and some other Rebels locate where Han Solo had been taken after being frozen in carbonite.
- Kyle Katarn: A former Imperial stormtrooper, Kyle agreed to serve the Alliance, and was known to have brought down the Dark trooper project, saving many people from destruction at the hands of these droid troopers.
- Jobin: He was a brave Rebel soldier on Hoth. Sadly, he fell victim to Darth Vader, but he stood up to Vader instead of cowering before him, and sent a loving goodbye message to his relative, Mon Mothma herself.
- Dice Ibegon and Lak Sivrak: They were two alien lovers. Dice was Force-sensitive. Lak was skeptical about the Force initially, but Dice taught him to believe in it. Then, after Dice died in the Battle of Hoth, and later, Lak died in the Battle of Endor, Dice helped them both retain consciousness within the Force. According to Luke Skywalker, their spirits now live on Endor for eternity.
- Clones: Despite Kota's strong skepticism, some clone deserters proved themselves as heroes of the Alliance, wanting redemption for their past actions during and after Order 66. Individual Rebel clone troopers included clone commanders Cody and Gree, ARC troopers Echo, Fives and Fordo, Force-sensitive clone X2, who led Grey Squadron, and regular troopers Cutup, Droidbait, Hevy, Jek, Rys, Razor, Stak, Waxer, Boil, Jesse, Hardcase, Kix, and Tup. It should also be mentioned that these clones found a cure for their accelerated aging in the form of a vaccine created by a Mandalorian mercenary, Kal Skirata.
- Cody: Commander Cody deserted the Empire over guilt felt from his actions during Order 66, and joined with Ahsoka Tano's family of clone deserters and younglings during the Dark Times. During this time, he found Jedi survivor Barriss Offee by accident, and brought her into Ahsoka's family. After Barriss finally felt at ease with the clones, Cody helped her support the Alliance in its early days, supplying it with much needed resources.
- Gree: Commander Gree, with the Wookiees Tarfful and Chewbacca, saved Yoda from Order 66, and then hid with Ahsoka and the other clone deserters. Gree later teamed up with the Alliance, providing his knowledge of alien cultures and how to ally with alien friends and fight alien enemies. He helped Juno Eclipse ally the Mon Calamari and the Quarren with the Rebels in 0 BBY, and in 4 ABY, he helped C-3PO win the alligence of the Ewoks. We definitely needed him to find aliens who wanted to be saved, or to save themselves, from Imperial tyranny.
- Jesse, Hardcase, Kix, Tup, Fives and Echo: These four regular troopers and two ARC troopers helped Rex save Ahsoka's life at the end of the Clone Wars, subsequently fighting against the Empire as best they could. Fives and Jesse died on Alderaan when the planet was destroyed, but Hardcase, Kix, Tup, and Echo lived to see the end of the Empire. Echo once saved General Kota's life, and the lives of some of Kota's militia, earning some grudging respect from Kota.
- Fordo: This Alpha-class ARC trooper left the Empire because of his independent mind, and later became a commander in the Alliance army's Special Forces.
- Cutup, Droidbait and Hevy: These three originally trained with Fives and Echo on Kamino. Narrowly surviving the Battle of the Rishi Moon, they came to the Rebellion many years later and fought beside their old trainees. Hevy died valiantly at Kamino, while Droidbait met his end on Hoth, and Cutup lived to see the Empire fall.
- The other Fett clones: Waxer, Boil, Razor, Stak, Jek, and Rys, of course, became disillusioned with the Empire as well, and fought for the Rebellion after its formation. Waxer, Jek, and Rys survived the war, while Boil, Razor, and Stak didn't.
- X2: A former clone trooper of the Republic, and Force-sensitive, X2 was recruited into the Rebel Alliance by Rahm Kota himself, and became Grey Leader of Grey Squadron, a flying squad of the Alliance starfighter corps. He helped fight and destroy both Death Stars, and later defeated his evil clone brother, X1, who wanted to use his own Empire to reclaim the galaxy. Then he became a Jedi of the New Jedi Order.
- Barriss Offee: After nearly being vaporized by the turbolasers of an AT-TE, Jedi Barriss was constantly on the run from Imperial Jedi hunters, until Cody found her on Nar Shaddaa in 12 BBY. She immensely disliked and distrusted clones after her ordeal, but Ahsoka and Cody helped her recover gradually. She and Cody provided material for the Rebellion, since Barriss preferred restoration of the Republic to supporting Ahsoka's Confederate Alliance, and in 0 BBY, after the first Death Star was destroyed, was reunited with an old friend from Drongar during the Clone Wars, Dr. Uli Divini. Barriss also met and befriended the Heroes of Yavin, and fought alongside them and the Rebels in many battles, falling in love with Uli along the way, until she selflessly sacrificed herself in the Battle over the Pit of Carkoon, retaining her individuality in the Force afterwards.
- Kornell "Uli" Divini: A former Republic surgeon, Uli was enslaved by the Empire through the Imperial Military Stop Loss Order, becoming an Imperial doctor. He met, and was infatuated with, Barriss Offee during the Clone Wars, and cried when he and the rest of the galaxy thought she had died. From 19 to 0 BBY, he did nonstop unwilling servitude for the Empire, until, after meeting Princess Leia Organa and some disillusioned fellow Imperials on the Death Star, he finally escaped, was reunited with Barriss, and pledged himself to the Rebellion, despite some mistrust for our movement. He served as a battle surgeon, often alongside 2-1B and FX-7 medical droids, and saved many lives. He also declared his love for Barriss, and had an affair with her. At the Battle of Endor, he died when the medical frigate Redemption was destroyed by the second Death Star, but he saw Barriss's spirit in a vision just beforehand, according to an account by Luke Skywalker, and she helped him retain his personality in the Force. Luke says that they now split their time between Coruscant, Kashyyyk, Dac, and Raxus for eternity.
- Shaeeah Lawquane: The adopted Twi'lek daughter of a clone deserter who became a farmer, Shaeeah Lawquane wanted to save the Lawquane's home world, Saleucami, from what happened to Alderaan. She came to the Rebellion wielding a DC-15S blaster carbine, the standard weapon for Republic clone troopers. Kota, admittedly, couldn't believe that a Fett clone could desert and become a farmer with a family he loved, but Shaeeah defended Cut (her father's name), and Kota agreed to let her join. She proved herself well as a soldier, especially at Hoth and Endor. When she went home to visit her family, she returned with the greatest honors a Rebel trooper could have. They say her parents and younger brother Jek were very proud of her.
- Teela Kaarz: An architect, and a former Imperial political prisoner, Miss Kaarz deserted the Death Star with Uli Divini and Vil Dance and decided to join the Rebellion. What makes her famous is that she realized that, as monstrous as the Death Star was, not everyone on board was a monster. Even General Kota felt a little guilty for not having thought of it himself.
- Davin Felth: Like Kyle Katarn, Davin was once a stormtrooper. He never liked the anonymity that went into the Stormtrooper Corps, however, and he soon realized the Empire was barbaric. On Tatooine, he saved Han Solo's life when Solo was leaving the planet with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker, and became a spy from within the Empire's ranks.
- Raymus Antilles: He was a brave captain who served Bail Organa and flew the Tantive IV for him. He flew many mercy missions for Princess Leia, too, until Vader murdered him.
- Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu: There have never been more legendary Rebel pilots than these, except for Skywalker, of course. They were legends of the famous Rogue Squadron, surviving longer than any other prominent pilots and winning many battles for the Rebellion.
- Biggs Darklighter: One of Luke's best friends on Tatooine, Biggs greatly helped Luke to make it to the point of the Death Star trench before he was shot down by Vader. He was also the only cheerful member of Red Squadron before the Battle of Yavin.
- Garven "Dave" Dreis: Red Leader at Yavin, Dreis was sure that he could lead his men to victory against the Death Star. And he did, even through his death.
- Villian "Vil" Dance: A former Imperial pilot, Vil was a brave Rebel pilot who also provided some previously unknown knowledge about the runnings of a TIE fighter to us. He also married Teela Kaarz.
- Keyan Farlander: Farlander lost almost everything to the Empire when his home world was bombarded. He found a new life with the Rebels, discovered his Force-sensitivity, survived the Battle of Yavin, and ultimately became a Jedi.
- Jek Tono Porkins: Porkins was a great fighter pilot, greater than his last name and his girth gave him credit for. He was the first to die at Yavin, but he's still remembered as a Rebel hero.
- Zev Senesca, Wes Janson, Derek "Hobbie" Klivian and Dak Ralter: These four pilots flew snowspeeders on Hoth. Zev found Luke and Han when they were lost in the wilderness. Zev and Dak died in the Battle of Hoth, but Janson and Hobbie survived.
- Theron Nett: He was a smuggler once, but found a new purpose in the Alliance. He considered Dreis to be a mentor, and, like him, died at Yavin.
- Dorovio Bold: A Rogue Squadron veteran, she joined the Alliance after learning that Alderaan was destroyed by the Empire.
- Grizz Frix: Another Rogue Squadron veteran, he was recruited from the Alliance's Support Services. He honed his flying skills in an old airspeeder on Devaron.
- Keir Santage: Santage was a Rogue Squadron veteran like Bold and Frix. His friend Wedge rescued him from an Imperial detention center once.
Legends of the AllianceEdit
- Han Solo: Captain Solo was more than just a hero. He saved Skywalker several times, fell in love with Princess Leia, almost killed the merciless bounty hunter Boba Fett, and helped win the Battles of Yavin and Endor. Now he has married Leia, and will do almost anything for his friends.
- Lando Calrissian: Calrissian was a gambler, and his gamble at the Battle of Endor paid off when he and the Rebel fleet defeated the Emperor's trap at the second Death Star.
- Chewbacca: This Wookiee was a legend among Wookiees. He fought hard in the Clone Wars, was on the run from the Empire for a while, endured many years of slavery, was freed by Captain Solo, fought for the Rebellion, and gave some extra muscle to the Ewok warriors during the fight around the shield generator bunker. Few modern Wookiees have gone through that much adventure, or gained as many friends as Chewbacca did.
- C-3PO and R2-D2: Threepio and Artoo, as they're called for short, were unlikely heroes. Threepio was a prissy, somewhat cowardly protocol droid who was always annoying Captain Solo, and Artoo was a feisty astromech droid who was a little too independent for a droid. However, even they have done some memorable things. Artoo assisted and/or saved his friends countless times, and while Threepio seemed to be mostly useless, he finally proved helpful when it came to forging an alliance with the Ewoks, although I recall Clone Commander Gree helped with that, too. These droids, who were such opposites, complimented each other amazingly well, and were even best friends.
- Luke Skywalker: Luke Skywalker is almost inarguably the greatest hero of the Rebel Alliance. He destroyed the first Death Star, rescued Princess Leia, learned about the ways of the Jedi and the Force from several Jedi survivors, defeated Jabba the Hutt, saved his friends from Jabba, and brought balance to the Force through his defeat of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. And he did it all purely with the help of the Force. Without him, the Alliance may never have won the Galactic Civil War. May the Force be with us all!

Impossible, you say? Certainly not! Get out a sharp knife, a cheap mandolin, and your food processor and you'll be geared up to take down all your veggies and proteins and prep for the week ahead. Everyone wants a fridge with everything washed, cut, and cooked – so just make it happen, party people.

How to Make Carrot "Fettuccine"
Happy Monday, Beautiful!
As much as I love the oh-so-popular vegetable "pasta" trend, it does come across a little "bit there, done that"—a.k.a. dated. Instead of using zucchinis, everyone's go-to choice, I decided to experiment, this past weekend, with rainbow carrots.
Forget the spiralizer, I went old school with a peeler.
Breakfast Smoothie Bowls
Happy Monday, Everyone!
Weekends are perfect for relaxing and treating yourself, but on occasions, over indulgences can occur. When my cheat meal becomes a cheat weekend, I usually reset with a healthy and filling breakfast to get myself back on track!
Smoothie bowls are a perfect way to start your day (if not week)! They're beautiful to look at and super yummy to eat! The most important part of a smoothie bowl is to use a frozen base so your end mixture will hold up to whatever topping you add. I like to use frozen Açai, a super fruit that can be found in most grocery stores. I accessorized with tropical fruits, but you can finish your bowl whatever you like—even greens! Best of all, this recipe can be made the night before to give you extra snooze time in the morning.
Hope this helps you conquer your week!
Berry and Seed Granola Bars
The season may still be winter, but my mind is in total Spring mode. Just like your house that needs its regular spring cleaning, your body also needs a cleanse before the warm season arrives. I'm feeling major motivation to eat all things beautiful and healthy these past few days. Seed and Berry granola bars have just the right about of protein and sweetness to give me that much desired kick midday. They're super easy to make and so convenient to have around during a busy work week. Plus, any of the fruits/nuts/seeds, can be changed to whatever you like! I hope this recipe gets your body and mind ready to take on Spring!
How to Make Sweet Potato Toast
Toast is an easy, fail proof, and delicious way to enjoy breakfast or brunch and can be made savory, sweet, or with avocado! Unfortunately, not everyone can eat toast as frequently as they would like to. Some people prefer to eat whole, unprocessed foods, while others are gluten-free, paleo-friendly, or too nutrient dense to indulge in toast.
Enter: the sweet potato.
Sweet potatoes are a great alternatives to toast. High in beta-carotene, they can help keep your hair, eyes, and nails healthy—just like carrots! They, of course, are also super delicious and much better for you than the standard bread.
This sweet potato toast trend went viral a while back and still makes an appearance on Instagram and Pinterest so today I'll teach you how to make your own with 4 vegan topping suggestions!
- almond butter + banana + cinnamon
- tahini + fig + agave
- avocado + chili flakes + lime
- crunchy almond butter + frozen mixed berries + hemp seeds
- hummus + cucumber slices + paprika
Slow Cooked Eggs in Ghee A 5 Star Breakfast
When I first whipped this together a week or so ago and took my first bite, I was immediately taken away from my kitchen and into a 5-star restaurant somewhere far, far, away. This dish tastes FANCY, subtle, and extremely, extremely nutty and delicious. Like, I want to have this for breakfast everyday for the rest of my life. Eggs are a gift from the gods, and when they're cooked low and slow they are truly heavenly.
What's in it? Eggs cooked low and slow in copious amounts of ghee, butternut squash, and arugula. Simple ingredients, delicious low-profile taste, and truly satisfying. Being able to indulge in the intoxicating taste of butter without the guilt (ghee is clarified butter that's free of the dairy) is revolutionary. It's been used for centuries in India, South Asia, Iranian, and Arabic cuisine but it's really having its moment here in the west right now. It's actually GOOD for your health. That's right, fats can be good for you. Among other things, digesting ghee stimulated the secretion of gastric acid which aids in the digestive process. Better digesting equals better weight management and health. It's also rich in medium chain fatty acids like coconut oil, so it's a great energy source.
This recipe is easy to cook en masse too – for a brunch, lets say. Just get a few pans going at once and you'll be able to serve 4-6 people the meal of their lives in a flash. Best part – this meal is gluten free, dairy free, grain free, and guilt free. Rejoice!
Chicken and Rice Soup with stock from scratch
on a cold and dreary wednesday, doesn't some chicken and rice soup sound so, so good?
I think so. I woke up this morning to an ick nasty day but a pasture-raised, antibiotic free whole chicken in my fridge so of course my next move was to make some extremely tasty soup from scratch. My boyfriend loves this soup: the stock is from scratch so the flavor is divine, and it's low in calories, and high in protein. The stock bones provide excellent nutritional value so if you're suffering from a cold or the flu, eating a bowl of chicken soup REALLY will help you get better more quickly. The full recipe is at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!
Breaking down a whole chicken can be daunting if you've never done it before. I suggest watching a how-to on YouTube, or asking your butcher for chicken bones in addition to breasts and legs (skin off) for the actual chicken you'll eat in the soup. I was filming with one hand and cutting with the other so the vid below only shows the pieces post-break down.
Here I have my chicken separated into bones, breasts, and legs. The bones will be used for stock.
Next, for tasty soup I like to brown my bones and veggies to create brown bits (the flavorful stuff) in the bottom of the pan. Because this stock is going to be used just for my soup, I deglaze the veggies after they brown too.
Once everything is deglazed, it's time to add the bones back, along with enough water to cover the chicken completely, reduce, and leave you enough stock for soup.
Then add some peppercorns, bay leaves, and parsley stems.
Once your stock is done, remove the bones and veggies and strain through a colander.
This turned out so beautifully and tastes so rich. No salt added at all! Amazing!
At this point, add new vegetables, your breasts and legs, and simmer for about 40 minutes. You don't want to boil the chicken or it will be too tough. We'll be shredding it once it's done and adding it back into the soup to be served!
This will simmer for about 30 minutes – once your chicken is done get it shredded immediately and serve your soup over rice.
and….voila, it's done.
The Detox Drink A Minimalist Smoothie for the Minimalist in You
Day 5 of the Detox is here.
Can I just say I woke up feeling GREAT today? I'm like, high on life, man. Also, my boyfriend gets home in a mere 5 hours so that probably helps the situation. I'm so in love, you guys. So. In. Love. Last night I spent the evening face-masking and putting Olaplex in my hair so that I'm at peak gorgina status today when he comes home. Just like Cher in Clueless I'll even have something in the oven for his arrival (it's a roast and it's going to be bangin' and it's on the Detox Diet).
But you're here for this smoothie recipe, aren'tcha? My ramblings about love don't belong on the le blog today. Alright, I'll give you what you came for. And if you're reading today, as in Friday, January 13th, there is a video of me making the Detox Drink on my Instagram Story….
I've grown to love smoothies over the years after being strictly ANTI-smoothie in my adolescence. One of the original Jamba Juices was in Laguna Beach (my hometown) and I never bought into the extremely sweet, kinda (?) tasty, but full of shit smoothies they were peddling. I don't have a sweet-tooth, plain and simple. Alas, I'm 30 now and I acknowledge that a smoothie is a great way to get some nutrition and good calories into my body quickly and that it does not have to resemble sugar plum fairies in whipped up form. For the purpose of the Detox Diet, a paired-down smoothie is a must as we're saying goodbye to gluten, dairy, sugar (some fruit is ok), and processed foods. I like thinking of it as a "minimalist smoothie" for the minimalist girl in me. So even though it's not full of agave, and yogurt, and other things we're saying "NO" to right now, I swear on my Mother that the Detox Drink is REALLY good, and tastes super clean.
Let's get to the recipe…
The Detox Drink
3/4 cup cold, filtered water
1/2 cup frozen, organic kale leaves
1/2 cup frozen, organic blend of antioxidant berries and seeds (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, pomegranate seeds, strawberries)
1 tablespoon chia seeds – protein source
1 tablespoon collagen hydrolysate (kosher) – pure protein and good for bouncy skin
- In a VitaMix or other high speed blender add all the ingredients together and blend for a minimum of one minute.
- Pour into a beautiful glass, because it's important to truly enjoy yourself while drinking your breakfast. Add a straw if you're so inclined.
- Snap a pic and put it on Instagram and tag me @lobosworth and #DetoxDrink so I can see your masterful work.

Want to Really Enjoy A Moscow Mule? Make It With Less Sugar!
Summer is officially in the air and I couldn't be more excited. I'm spending a lot of my summer at my beach house, and I'm entertaining friends and family almost every weekend. A few days ago my friends came to the beach to spend the evening with me, and I decided to mix up some Moscow Mules for us to enjoy – they were a huge hit!
The drink is so flavorful on its own, that I didn't want to mask the fresh taste of lime and ginger by over doing it with sugar. So when making my Moscow Mules, I swapped sugar for SPLENDA Zero™ Liquid Sweetener to create the ginger reduction. The effect was delicious! I simply boiled the water and ginger, and then sweetened the reduction with the SPLENDA® Sweetener and added fresh mint leaves! So simple and refreshing. Just like any dish, the secret to a great cocktail is fresh ingredients – so using fresh ginger and lime juice really makes all the difference. For added effect, make sure to garnish with plenty of mint leaves and a lime wedge, and serve in copper mugs that will keep the drink cool!
Check out my video below to see how I make my Moscow Mules and let me know how yours turn out! And check-out SweetSwaps.com for more tips and tricks for swapping sugar for SPLENDA® Sweetener Products.
Moscow Mules
(makes about 7 servings)
1 cup ginger, peeled and cut into thin slices
4 cups water
2 tsp. SPLENDA ZERO™ Liquid Sweetener
15 Mint leaves
Juice from 4 limes
1 liter soda water
8 fl. oz. vodka
Ice cubes
4 Lime wedges
1) Boil ginger in 4 cups of water for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half.
2) Strain the ginger reduction into a bowl, and add SPLENDA® Liquid Sweetener and allow to cool.
3) Add mint leaves and lime juice to the ginger reduction and muddle.
4) In a pitcher, combine soda water and vodka. Add the ginger reduction with mint leaves and lime juice. Stir. Add ice cubes, additional mint or lime to taste.
5) Serve in copper mugs and garnish with mint leaves and a lime wedge.

These Lemon Greek Yogurt Pops are the Perfect Summer Treat!
Summer weather is here, and that means, I'm ready to get outside and enjoy the sunshine with my friends! I wanted a refreshing treat that would satisfy my guests and keep them cool while we hang out on the roof, so I came up with these Frozen Lemon Greek Yogurt Pops! These simple, homemade treats are made with 3 basic ingredients: Greek yogurt, lemon, and a sweet swap for sugar – SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener.
I had a great time making these pops, and I encourage you to get creative with the different molds out there! I like this one but the design is up to you. Regardless of what you use, these pops are super easy to put together quickly for a party, your kiddos, or yourself as a late afternoon or after dinner snack. I used SPLENDA® Sweetener in mine, so that there is less added sugar. Add that to plain Greek Yogurt and lemon juice, and you've got yourself a sweet treat that gives you a little vitamin C, and packs a protein punch!
Not only does the final product taste awesome, it's also beautiful with the lovely pieces of lemon zest and thin lemon slices showing throughout the white pop. These pops are creamy, with just the right amount of sweet and tart flavor (not to mention they're a healthy treat that you can feel great about!). Check out my video demo below! And check-out SweetSwaps.com for more tips and tricks for swapping sugar for SPLENDA® Sweetener Products.

This Dairy-Free Pasta Dish is Perfect for Spring
There's no denying that pasta is absolutely delicious. But did you know that it's also a good, complex carbohydrate that provides steady energy? I'm certainly passionate about pasta, especially before a run and the the variety of ways you can whip it up is truly endless and it's a perfect foundation for a healthy meal – comforting, tasty, and nutritious all at once.
If you read the blog often you may know that I'm not a huge fan of dairy, and am constantly searching for alternatives. I love cheese and cream, but not the way it makes my insides feel, if you know what I mean. More often than not however, pasta and cheese go hand and hand. The flavor combination is undeniably gangbusters. So how to indulge in a little spaghetti or ravioli that tastes satisfying without compromising the flavor? Turn to citrus, ta da!
Apart from a straight tomato sauce, citrus is a great element to incorporate into a pasta dish without the need for cheese or a creamy sauce. Want citrus and a creamy element? Pick up an avocado, also in season along with a fresh zucchini (a Farmer's Market favorite of mine) for some of the tastiest, creamiest, brightest pasta you will ever eat.
I picked up this Spaghetti with Zucchini and Avocado Sauce recipe from PassionforPasta.com and it checks all of my nutritional and taste requirements: has a creamy sauce that's dairy-free, utilizes fresh vegetables, incorporates citrus (one of my fave flavors), and is a good source of energy before hitting the gym. You can check out my video tutorial below that takes you through the recipe step by step and also reference the recipe below. Enjoy!
Spaghetti with Zucchini and Avocado Sauce
1 box Barilla spaghetti
1 large leek, sliced
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ cups vegetable broth
2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and pit removed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large zucchini, skin only, julienned
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
salt and black pepper, to taste
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; season with salt
2. Cook Barilla pasta according to package directions
3. Sauté leek with 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat in a medium skillet for 3 minutes.
4. Add broth, turn heat to high and bring broth to a boil
5. Cook until reduced to half; remove from heat and let cool
6. Blend cooled broth, avocado, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a food processor until smooth; set aside
7. Sauté remaining oil and zucchini skins over medium heat for 1 minute in the same skillet used for the leek mixture
8. Toss pasta with avocado mixture and zucchini in a large serving bowl
9. Garnish with parsley

Behold My Famous Mango and Guacamole Recipe!
You Guac My WorldSo Let's Avocuddle
Yes, you heard me the first time: mango guacamole.
It's a no-brainer, really. I love mangoes and I love avocados. There's no reason not to put the two and two together. I mean, after all, it does take two to mango 😉 .
With spring here and summer just around the corner, you'll be inclined to invite your girl squad over for some quality bonding. Treat them to my famous, top-secret, never before shared guac. I promise, for all you amateur chefs out there, it's the next best thing to ramen.
Disclaimer: If you're more of a Netflix and Wine kind of gal, this dip is also perfect for a party of one.
5 ripe avocados
2 ripe mangoes, chopped
3-4 limes, to taste
1/2 red onion, diced
cilantro (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste
lemon pepper (optional)
What To Do:
Combine all your ingredients in a mixing bowl. I like to start by scooping out my avocado and mashing it with a fork before adding the chopped mangos and diced onions. After mixing the avocado, chopped mangoes, and diced onions, season your guacamole by adding the cilantro, salt, and pepper. Since I don't really like cilantro, I substituted that with lemon pepper. In terms of lime, you can add as little or as much as you want. Remember, all of this really just depends on your taste buds and those of your friend's. Once you're satisfied with your consistency, scoop the guac out into a serving bowl, cut two thin slices of lime for garnish, and call it a day!
Do you have any food puns to share? I'd love to hear it them! Also, take pictures of your mango guac and tag us on Instagram at @thelodownblog!

These fantastic recipes include chef Michael Symon's delicious Greek-style arugula salad and savory roasted brussels sprouts.
These fantastic recipes include chef Michael Symon's delicious Greek-style arugula salad and savory roasted brussels sprouts.
This iteration of Michael Symon's crazy-delicious Lola burger—part hamburger, part breakfast sandwich—was adapted from his cookbook, Michael Symon's Live to Cook.
Michael Symon defines himself as a "porketarian," saying he can't get enough of the meat. For his luscious chili, he uses incredibly flavorful and succulent pork cheeks—an unusual cut worth seeking out. If pork cheeks aren't available, pork shoulder (cut into 2-inch pieces) can be substituted.
This gratin combines blanched chard and sautéed leeks, cooked until just tender in a creamy two-cheese sauce made with both Gruyère and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
To jazz up arugula salad and give it a slightly Greek twist, Michael Symon tosses it with chopped fresh dill, briny Greek feta cheese and kalamata olives. He finishes the salad with extra-virgin Greek olive oil, which he says has a pure flavor and is generally more affordable than olive oil from Italy.
Most crab dips are full of mayonnaise, but Michael Symon's lighter version is more like a salsa since it's prepared without mayo and laced with flecks of shallot, cilantro, jalapeño and red bell pepper. "Although I love mayo," he says, "I'm not a fan of it with crab, since it tends to muddle the flavor. If I'm spending big bucks on crab, I want it to be the star."
Instead of combining vodka with flavored Jell-O mix, Michael Symon concocts a refreshing mojito and stirs unflavored gelatin into the mint-and-lime-spiced rum drink to mold a fun and sophisticated version of the lowbrow shot.
Lots of people brine their turkeys. Not Michael Symon, who thinks brining makes the bird a little rubbery. He salts his bird well and refrigerates it overnight to season it. Before roasting, he covers the breast and legs with cheesecloth that's been soaked in a cider-infused butter. For his beer-spiked gravy, Symon recommends the German-style Dortmunder Gold, made by Great Lakes Brewing Company, from his home state of Ohio.
Quinoa is definitely a superfood: A grain-like seed, it's a "complete" protein containing all eight essential amino acids (another plus: it cooks much more quickly than most grains). To create a terrific vegetarian main course, Michael Symon of Cleveland's Lola tosses quinoa with arugula, apple, raisins and fresh herbs, then spoons the salad into a halved baked squash (a great source of iron and vitamins A and C).
Michael Symon's four-ingredient potatoes get plenty of flavor from browned butter and crème fraîche. Reserve a little browned butter to drizzle on the potatoes just before serving.
The key to Michael Symon's deeply savory side dish is a dressing that includes anchovies, capers, mustard and a little honey.
Michael Symon usually doesn't make dessert for holidays. Still, his version of this classic is great after a big meal because it isn't too sweet or too heavy. He layers brioche bread crumbs with sliced apples and a cinnamon-citrus sugar, baking everything together so it becomes wonderfully soft.
These crispy chicken wings get their heat from Sriracha, the Thai hot sauce that chef Michael Symon says is his favorite in the world. "We always have a couple of extra bottles at home, because my stepson blows right through the stuff."
Michael Symon begins dinner with this tangle of multicolored vegetables—radishes, golden beet and carrots—tossed with a lemon-dill dressing. Because they're served raw, the vegetables should be sliced very thin, in a food processor or preferably on a mandoline. Symon recommends using a Greek feta for the salad's cheese garnish, because he likes that Greek feta is saltier than some others.
Pair this dish with a creamy, full-bodied California Chardonnay.
A mix of sautéed wild mushrooms adds lots of texture to this stuffing; lemon juice and zest make it tangy. The mushroom stuffing can be made vegetarian-friendly simply by replacing the chicken stock with vegetable stock.

"Eighty seven percent of our seniors are going to four-year colleges," said board member Mark Cohen. "Last year it was 91 percent and the percentage going to two-year schools is getting bigger. It was 12 percent for junior colleges.
"There are probably a variety of reasons for that," Cohen continued, "but I don't think we should just sit back. Was it something we did? Is it curriculum?"
Mountain Lakes is one of the wealthiest communities in the country and its grade K-12 public school district is consistently ranked among the top districts in the state.
"The percentage of students we sent to competitive or highly competitive colleges is also down," noted board member Jonathan Rich. "This year it dropped to 35 percent."
Rich added the early decision acceptances and number of children going to top schools, other important indicators, also were trending down.
"The number of students going to governor schools," Board President Susan McCusker added, referring to another indicator.
"I don't know if this was a dumb class or what," Rich said.
"His daughter is in that class," McCusker quickly added.
"My daughter's in the class, that's why I can say that," Rich agreed, smiling to indicate he was being somewhat facetious.
Ludwig said the administration had discussed "counseling students on what to expect" adding, "We had a lot of surprises and disappointments " among college applicants.
The principal said the percentage of students who stay in the top schools is also worth studying but that it is a difficult statistic to get. He said the district does send out surveys to graduates to gather data.
"We know anecdotally they go and three months later, they're home. In those situations, a two-year school may be the more mature decision," Ludwig said to the board, "The return rate is probably in the thirties, but that type of kid you're talking about is not the type " who will respond to a post-graduation survey.
Referring to a New York Times article , Wildwood School Principal Robert Reid had copied to school board members headlined
"Right answer, wrong score" about some problems with standardized testing,
Cohen commented, "I know Bob has had some concerns, but I hope we don't necessarily rest on our laurels or on articles in newspapers. I understand there were some problems with standardized tests, but the issue is there are other schools that did real well."

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 — Facing the loss of fellow moderates in the Nov. 7 elections, Republican centrists in the House and Senate are faulting Congressional and party leaders for pursuing a strategy dominated by conservative themes.
Leading moderates say Republicans concentrated on social wedge issues like same-sex marriage while pressing national security almost to the exclusion of popular wage and health policies that could have helped endangered Republicans in the Northeast and the Midwest.
"There wasn't an impetus to help develop a political and legislative plan that incorporated the broad umbrella of philosophy in our party," said Senator Olympia J. Snowe, Republican of Maine, whom experts expect to be easily re-elected. "I think they always operated under the wrong assumption that you just appeal to the base and no more than that."
Ms. Snowe and other moderates, while holding out hope that most of their counterparts would hang on, were dismayed by the prospect of depleted ranks, saying it could lead to a more polarized Congress.
Two Senate Republicans often found in the small moderate bloc, Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island and Mike DeWine of Ohio, are in serious jeopardy. Two leading House moderates are retiring, another lost a primary, and at least six others are in difficult re-election fights in Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and elsewhere.Continue reading the main story
The centrists said heavy losses outside strongholds in the South and parts of the West and Midwest could imperil the party's future. They say Republicans cannot sustain a long-term majority unless the party thrives throughout the country.
"There are some people who, because they are so pure and so sure of themselves, they are willing to run the risk of having the Republican Party no longer be national but be more regional," said Representative Sherwood L. Boehlert of New York, a respected moderate who is retiring. "They think they can maintain their majority as a regional party."
Conservatives say the overall party message was developed to draw the most loyal voters to the polls by emphasizing bedrock principles. The leader of one group that backed conservative candidates in Republican primaries, angering the moderate wing, said some moderates were in trouble simply because they strayed too far, alienating Republicans without attracting Democrats.
"We have people who are certainly well left of the center of the Republican conference on all issues, including economic and growth issues," said the leader, Pat Toomey, a former congressman from Pennsylvania who heads the Club for Growth. "I'm not hoping they lose. But if they do, I think we will be able to recapture those seats with pro-growth candidates who distance themselves from Democrats."
Even conservatives acknowledge that the push did not make it easy for candidates in close races in New England and Ohio.
"It is a real quandary," Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, said. "It is true that in order to motivate folks there has been an appeal made to turn out our conservatives, which by definition doesn't help those who are not as in tune with the base."
In past election cycles, Republican moderates, like their right-leaning Democratic colleagues in the South, have survived by emphasizing differences with their own party on pivotal issues. Independent voters at home have indicated a willingness to back their lawmakers and draw a distinction between them and the party.
But this year, given the Iraq war, dissatisfaction with President Bush and a series of Republican scandals, some voters no longer seem willing to separate the two.
"It appears we have finally pushed them far enough to vote for the Democratic Party," said Sarah Chamberlain Resnick, executive director of the Republican Mainstreet Partnership. "As a loyal Republican, I think that is scary."
Democrats have also made a concerted effort against vulnerable Republican moderates, which Senator Susan Collins, another Republican of Maine, said was not much of a reward for those willing to try to work with the opposition party.
"There is no one who has voted more often with the Democrats than Linc Chafee," Ms. Collins said. "Yet that didn't stop them from going after him with everything they had. That is a good lesson."
Ms. Collins and Ms. Snowe noted that although voters indicate a strong desire for bipartisanship, some lawmakers most likely to be punished are the very ones who have reached across the aisle.
Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, made no apologies for focusing on Republican moderates and said Republicans should blame the party leaders for its approach.
"They left these guys to fend for themselves in districts that have been trending Democratic," Mr. Emanuel said. "What we did was recruit and fully fund our candidates."
Republicans leaning toward the middle on social, environmental and spending matters have been raising the alarm for months, saying the party was missing opportunities to bolster moderate candidates with measures on raising the minimum wage, expanding stem cell research and ethics reform.
But the minimum-wage increase died when it was tied to a move to repeal the estate tax, President Bush vetoed the stem cell measure, and the drive for ethics reform collapsed.
"I don't think the agenda has been particularly helpful," said Representative Michael N. Castle, Republican of Delaware, who said some Republicans had been dismissive of the centrists until the leadership was desperate for votes on major bills.
"I will be the first to say there are those in the Republican Party who feel moderates are essential only in terms of numbers," Mr. Castle said.
While Republican moderates struggle to maintain their numbers, some top Democratic challengers are from the more moderate wing of that party, raising the prospect that some gains will come from the right.
That possibility also gives Republican moderates hope that even if they number fewer, they could potentially band with Democrats in the center to influence measures.
"I think," Ms. Collins said, "the moderates in both parties could be empowered."Continue reading the main story

{image-27-mentha-(oil)commodity.jpg www.goodreturns.in}Yesterday, the prices of mentha oil for the July contract gained Rs 9.30, or 1.08% to Rs 864.30 per kg, with a trading volume of 55 lots at the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) since the traders enlarged their holdings tracking the rise in the spot market demand.
The oil for the June contract also rose by Rs 8.10, or 0.94% to Rs 868.30, with a trade volume of 230 lots at the MCX.
The oil for the May contract rose by Rs 4.20, or 0.48% to Rs 868 per kg, with a business turnover of 365 lots at the MCX.
Moreover, there was a good trend in the spot markets in the midst of the restricted supply from Chandausi in Uttar Pradesh which also supported the prices.
Mentha oil is one of the important essential oils. It is extracted from herb Mentha arvensis through distillation process. It is widely used in food and flavourings.
Indias mint belt lies in the countrys "breadbasket," spanning the states of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Bihar. About 80% of the crop in India comes from Uttar Pradesh (Rampur, Moradabad, Bareilly, Barabanki and Badaun) and the balance 20% from Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana.
India will always play an important role in world mentha oil market, with a never ending demand from the cosmetics and food industry and production restricted to few countries.

This paper presents an analysis of several simple on-line algorithms for processing requests for connections in distributed networks. These algorithms are called call admission algorithms. Each request comes with a source, a destination, and a bandwidth requirement. The call admission algorithm decides whether to accept a request, and if so, when to schedule it and which path the connection should use through the network. The duration of the request is unknown to the algorithm when the request is made. We analyze the performance of the algorithms on simple networks such as linear arrays, trees, and networks with small separators. We use three measures to quantify their performance: makespan, maximum response time, and data-admission ratio. Our results include a proof that greedy algorithms are log-competitive with respect to makespan on n-node trees for arbitrary durations and bandwidth, a proof that on an n-node tree no algorithm can be better than Omega (log log n/log log log n)- competitive with respect to makespan, and a proof that no algorithm can be better than Omega(log n)-competitive with respect to call-admission and data-admission ratio on a linear array, if each request can be delayed for at most some constant times its (known) duration. (AN).

Escaping Abusive Relationships: Therapists Keep This Quiet
Escaping abusive relationships involves more than the escape plan, and you won't know the depth of your problems until you break free. But, as you plan your escape, it often feels as if getting out of the abuse will make everything better. And once you get out, you will have well-deserved stages of bliss – you will often feel much better! But at first, as often as you feel better, you will feel worse or confused or doubtful of your ability to create a life of your own. The aftermath of escaping abusive relationships is an emotional minefield that therapists won't warn you about. I can help you avoid some of those mines.

Question: A trimotor plane has three engines a central engine and an
A trimotor plane has three engines—a central engine and an engine on each wing. The plane will crash only if the central engine fails and at least one of the two wing engines fails. The probability of failure during any given flight is .005 for the central engine and .008 for each of the wing engines. Assuming that the three engines operate independently, what is the probability that the plane will crash during a flight?

Comic Book A Day – Day 52 – New Avengers #30 (2012)
2 Oct 2012
Comments Off on Comic Book A Day – Day 52 – New Avengers #30 (2012)
While not quite as awesome as Uncanny X-men #18 (reviewed here yesterday), New Avengers #30 is decent in its own right and follows the same general idea. This comic happens right after Avengers Vs. X-Men # 11 and a main X-Men player is now in custody and riding in the back of an armored truck with Luke Cage and Daredevil (with The Thing and Mockingbird up front driving).
While there is a bit of action in this comic, it really centers around a conversation between Daredevil and Luke Cage about his family life, which leads Cage to a drastic decision and he decides to become a woman. OK, not really, but maybe that"s an Elseworlds story for another time.
While I like seeing action in comics, that sort of what movies are for. What I really like seeing in comics is the interaction and dialogue between characters and this issue is chock full o" that.
I"m giving New Avengers #30 4 out of 6 possible Aarons. If you"re into comics check it out, if you"re not why are you reading a comic book website?

Dear Patient
Thank you very much for taking the time to post your comments on the website. I have shared your very kind comments with the nursing staff involved where I know they will be warmly recieved.
However its not clear which day you attended the Day Surgery unit, so I am unable to feedback your comments about the surgeon, although I am really pleased to see that overall it was a positive experience.
I do hope you have now made a full recovery,

Chinese Chicken Wings
Be the first to review
READY IN: 10hrs
Recipe by Semra22
Fantastic appetizer or party food. Yet another recipe from my AWW Chinese cookbook. (Can you tell I like this cookbook a lot?) Best chicken wings ever. Recipe was named Chicken Sticks but you can use either drumettes or wings in this. (I use wings - cheaper!) (Marinating time included in prep time).
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 lbs chicken wings
- 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon honey
Directions See How It's Made
- Wash and dry the wings, cut in half at the joint if using regular wings.
- Combine the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, sugar, honey and sherry. Pour over the chicken In a large bowl or Ziploc bag. Mix thoroughly, and refrigerate overnight. Make sure the marinade is completely covering the chicken, so you don't have to get up and stir it, heh heh.
- Brush a baking pan with oil (you can aluminum foil it first if you want). Spread out the chicken evenly in the pan. Pour some marinade over the chicken.
- Bake in a moderate oven 35 to 40 min or until cooked. Baste frequently with marinade and pan juices. Broil briefly after cooking if you would like them brown and crispy instead of saucy and sticky, your choice.
- Remove from oven, quickly brush any remaining marinade over the chicken wings ( I think I would cook it first, I don't think the raw chicken thing was a big deal in 1990). Serve on a plate with lots of napkins!

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Introducing Foods to Your Baby
Breast milk or formula is the only food babies need for the
first 6 months of life, at which point solid foods can be gradually introduced.
Ideally, your baby will be fed only breast milk until 6 months of age. Some babies may be ready for solid foods at 4 or 5 months. Ask your doctor when you can start feeding your baby solid foods. He or she will want to be
certain that your baby is physically and developmentally ready. And although breastfed babies get the best possible nutrition, they will probably need certain vitamin or nutritional supplements to maintain or improve their health. Breastfed babies need 400 IU of vitamin D each day from a supplement. Formula-fed babies may also need a vitamin D supplement, depending on how much formula they drink each day. Talk with your doctor about how much and what sources of vitamin D are right for your baby. After 4 months of age, your baby will probably not get enough iron from breast milk alone. Your doctor may prescribe a liquid iron supplement until your baby gets enough iron from iron-fortified formulas or foods high in iron. Breastfed babies born prematurely may be prescribed a liquid iron supplement by 1 month of age.
Your baby may be ready to start eating solid foods if he or she:
When you and your doctor have determined your baby is ready
to start eating solid foods, keep these general guidelines in mind.
It's best to keep these specific guidelines in mind,
As you introduce new foods, it is important to pay attention
to your baby's cues. When your baby's head turns away from a spoonful of food,
don't force it. But try again later. Let your baby tell you when he or she is
full. Also, it may help to introduce new foods when your baby is well rested
and there are no distractions, such as a TV.
As your baby learns
to feed himself or herself, keep in mind that your job is to provide a variety
of nutritious foods, but your baby will decide how much to eat. It may take
more than 10 times before your child accepts a new food.footnote 4
Your baby will quickly gain new eating skills, such as chewing,
swallowing, and using cups and utensils, at about 6 to 12 months of age. Offer
your baby a variety of nutritious foods and gradually allow him or her to
explore different tastes and textures. Try to be patient as your baby
experiments and learns, and be tolerant of messes. Your baby will likely enjoy
playing with a spoon, but most of the food will fall off it. It's natural for
your baby to "make a mess" while learning about food. Until your baby can
handle a spoon better, you can give your baby a clean spoon to hold while you
feed him or her with a different spoon.
To help reduce your
cleanup, use a child's high chair that has a detachable tray and raised rims.
The rims on the tray help keep dishes and food from sliding off. And you can
carry the tray to the sink for cleaning. Cover the seat with a removable,
washable pad. Also, think about covering the floor around the high chair.
Remember—your child is learning by experimenting.

Discussion in 'RAW' started by Snowman, Oct 2, 2013.
Just a simple yes or no. Did you enjoy their debut? How much life do you think the gimmick has?
i liked it a lot better than epico and primo i think they'll do ok
Yes, but wish their theme music was the same as their vignettes.
I loved it.
Exactly this.
Yeah, it was good but I don't think their gimmick will work for a lot of time.
I didn't enjoy it at all. I liked their wrestling, but the whole thing just felt so lame. I honestly preferred them as just Primo and Epico with Rosa Mendez shakin' dat ass
Huge fan, my biggest mark out moment in 2013
yeah they got a pop like it was hogan v rock at wrestlemania x-18
Finally someone else hears it.
Commentary was lame.
Segment was lame, Match was lame.
You're lame.
It was fun watching them. I think it's funny how they're hated on but I bet if they were in Chikara everyone would love them.
What's not to like? Everything from their theme to their entrance (I like that they're putting emphasis on tag teams having special entrances... The Usos also had a cool entrance to go along with their repackaging) to their mannerisms and work as a team in the ring is solid. Before, Epico and Primo were just a team with no real personality, even if they could have exciting matches in the ring. Now they have an actual gimmick to go along with their ring work. The crowd is already into the gimmick as well since they were chanting "Ole!" on Raw when they would hit a big move on someone.
I thought the mini bull was silly at first but I guess it's a fun addition to the team. Could prove to be entertaining in the same way Dink was, and could easily become a way to get heels easy heat by having others pick on him and physically abuse him (like King Kong Bundy crushing the midgets at WM3 or Bam Bam Bigelow landing on Dink back in '94.)
I don't know if i'm a fan yet, but i did enjoy their debut on RAW.. It was way better than i expected.
aka The Indy Expert Adam.
They're a lot of fun. I like fun teams and characters. This is entertainment, so not everyone can be stinky tattooed fuckwits who fight the system. Sometimes shit can just be fun.
I enjoyed them,it was some good comic relief. I just don't see them actually getting the tag gold.
