Professor encourages healthy eating, self-reliance through small business

After launching Make Fresh Foods in July, local entrepreneur Nancy Rissler looks toward the future of her recipe-based business.

When Nancy Rissler saw a 15-year-old mother give Coca-Cola to her newborn baby, Rissler was not disgusted or judgmental. Instead, she was inspired. She refers to this experience as a moment that changed the course of her life. This moment instilled a desire in her to teach the world about food and how to nourish one’s body, which launched a career as a certified hospitality educator, Syracuse University professor, food scientist and, most recently, an entrepreneur.

Curb your cravings with this incredibly simple snack

10:45 p.m.

Oh, that fateful hour... It’s that time of night where, if I’m not already preparing to go to bed, I’m preparing something to eat. Usually, I'm pretty good about not munching after dinner, but if I’m still awake doing work,“ tindering,” or watching the Food Channel, I’ll convince myself that I need a snack. I'm sure I can't be alone in this.

"No, no," you tell yourself, "Water cannot quench these grumbly-tumbly needs. Only food can."

Vegan chocolate chip cookies

Newshouse food blogger Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm spills her recipe for this delicious, low-sugar treat.

 

Chocolate chip cookies are pure comfort.  There’s nothing better then a warm cookie, right out of the oven, when the edges are slightly crisp, but the center is just over under-baked, making the middle doughy and the chocolate melted. It’s pastry perfection.

Some days, you need a cookie.  Sometimes I want a cookie that’s, dare I say it, healthy. A healthy cookie means you can eat one and not feel bad about it, or you could follow in my steps and eat three right off the baking sheet. Life’s about little pleasures, and cookies are one of them.

You'll feel like a master host(ess) who can whip these up within ten minutes of your guests' impromptu arrival.

Snickerdoodles aren't the fanciest cookie, but they are among the tastiest and easiest. It's almost embarassing how many times I've invited over friends, realized I had no food, and thrown these together. If your guests are anything like mine, they'll be excited to help you roll the cookies in sugar and cinnamon and pop them in the oven.

 

Snickerdoodles

1 2/3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
