New Release Puts Families on the Road to Good Health with Twists on Favorite Recipes; Book by Eleanor Fahey

Bridgewater, NJ (PRWEB) August 30, 2011

To begin cooking without grains and refined sugars, you may have to invest a little more time into food preparation. The benefits, however, to your overall health and well-being will be well worth the effort. This new comprehensive cookbook features more than 200 practical recipes that are free of grains, gluten, and refined sugars. The recipes contain easy steps that will help even the most inexperienced cooks obtain excellent results. The author developed the recipes in her own home kitchen, testing them many times. Readers will be able to enjoy some of their favorite foods that are not only delicious but also easy to digest.

Comfort Cooking provides recipes in all categories: appetizers, dips, soups, stews, breads, poultry, meat, fish, meatless meals, vegetables, fruits, and salad dressings. Those who love dessert will appreciate the recipes for pies, tarts, cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and frozen desserts. Readers will learn how to make ketchup in 15 minutes and delicious key lime pie, decadent walnut brownies, and flavorful Moroccan-style chicken. The author has thought of everything, including a detailed index, a chapter on cooking techniques and a source list for shopping information.

Author Eleanor Fahey, a professional home economist, taught foods and nutrition at a public high school for more than a decade. She was inspired to write this book, which took more than seven years to develop, because she herself is allergic to grains and refined sugars. After failing to find a cookbook that worked for her, she began to experiment with her own family recipes by replacing the ingredients that caused distress with other digestible ingredients.

Care Continuum Alliance, HERO Announce Collaboration to Develop Employee Wellness and Health Management Measures

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) April 26, 2011

Developing reliable, standardized performance measures in worksite wellness and health promotion programs is the goal of a new research collaboration between the Care Continuum Alliance and Health Enhancement Research Organization (HERO).

The groups today announced their joint work on the project, which will identify various domains of program performance, such as clinical, financial and performance outcomes, and recommend measures and standards for assessing each. They said a lack of standardization in program measures and evaluation methods contributed to their decision to launch the project.

"HERO is committed to advancing evidence-based strategies for improving employee health and organizational performance," stated Jerry Noyce, HERO CEO. "Defining standard measures for evaluating program quality and outcomes is essential for identifying best practices and, ultimately, establishing benchmarks and standards. We are pleased to partner with the Care Continuum Alliance in this important work."

"Employers have done much to advance employee health and wellness, but still face obstacles to consistent measurement of program outcomes," Care Continuum Alliance President and CEO Tracey Moorhead said. "We want to give employers best practices for program evaluation. HERO is an ideal and well-respected partner for our work toward that goal."

The project will combine the broad perspective of the Care Continuum Alliance Population Health Management and Engagement Measures work group with the deep employee wellness and health management expertise of the HERO Research committee. A project steering committee and related panels will comprise volunteer experts and staff from each organization. The groups also will leverage prior research in the new project.

The Care Continuum Alliance Outcomes Guidelines project, established in 2006 to build industry consensus around evidence-based outcomes measures for wellness, prevention and health management, will inform the new collaboration with HERO. The Outcomes Guidelines project has produced an annually updated report, now in a fifth volume, on best practices in program evaluation.
