February's Health Genie: Zinc

Dear Genie,

I want to help my family miss less school and work. There are so many products in the cold and flu section. I am unfamiliar with most.  My kids would appreciate it if I didn’t make them take so many different supplements every time a cold is going around. They get exasperated if I offer too many remedies. My wife won’t take anything that is not backed by research. Can you suggest one supplement that could help us this season?

Thanks,

Devoted Dad

Roasted Beet & Citrus Salad

Earthy beets are a perfect match for delicate citrus. Use your favorite combination of citrus here - navel or blood oranges will work, as will red or white grapefruit and even a Meyer lemon.

Crispy Chicken Cutlets with Olive-Orange Salad

We love the combination of just-fried, crispy chicken cutlets with a cooling sweet-and-sour citrus salad. Salty olives and parsley add color and a bite of astringency. Serve the salad like a salsa, or gently toss it with baby greens.

Chocolate-Mascarpone Mousse

This is the simplest mousse to make. Be warned: It is super rich.

Pork and Cabbage Dumplings

A traditional filling for Chinese dumplings. Read more over on our blog, Serving Up Vermont.
