Ingredients 
Cooking spray
2 slices whole-grain bread
½ cup nonfat milk
1 lb mushrooms
¼ onion
¼ cup shredded carrots
2 garlic cloves
2½ Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp fresh thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded zucchini
3 Tbsp red curry paste
2 lbs lean ground turkey
¾ cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
How to make it 

Spray a 12-cup muffin tin well with cooking spray, and preheat oven to 375°.

Tear bread into small pieces in a bowl, and pour milk over; let set.

Add mushrooms, onion, carrots, and garlic to a large food processor, and pulse to finely chop. In a large sauté pan, heat extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat and sauté veggies with thyme and salt and pepper for about 10 minutes. Pour into a large mixing bowl to cool slightly.

Add shredded zucchini, soaked bread, and red curry paste to the cooled veggies; stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Add turkey, and thoroughly mix.

Divide half the mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Use the back of a cookie scoop to make a depression in the center.

Divide shredded cheese among the muffin cups, then top with remaining turkey mixture, mounding as needed (it will cook down).

Bake 40 minutes, or until completely cooked through. Immediately remove with a large spoon to paper towel-lined cooling rack, leaving excess grease behind.

For instance, as soon as a couple learns they're having a boy, they might find themselves grappling with the  decision to circumcise—or not . It's an individual, personal decision for every family. Thankfully, when parents opt in, most circumcisions go off without a hitch. However, a shocking story out of Egypt highlights one instance in which the routine procedure went terribly awry. A father from Cairo is speaking out after his son's  penis had to be amputated following a botched circumcision . The Jerusalem Post  reported that the father named Ashraf Helmi says he took his child to Cairo to be vaccinated and was convinced by his sister-in-law and a family friend to have his  1-month-old son Mohamed circumcised during the same doctor's visit. According to  Me...

Reduce Acid-Forming Proteins to Protect Kidney Function

Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem affecting about one in eight Americans, increasing the risks of disease and death even among those with only mild decreases in kidney function. Low-cost, low-risk preventive strategies that anyone can do are needed to address the epidemic of kidney disease. I discuss some of these in my video Protein Source: An Acid Test for Kidney Function . Diet plays a role in kidney function decline. “Specifically, diets higher in animal protein, animal fat, and cholesterol” may be associated with protein leakage into the urine, which is a sign of kidney damage, and, generally, “diets higher in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but lower in meat and sweets, may be protective” against kidney function decline. In comparison to the diet eaten by our ancient ancestors, not only are we eating more saturated fat, sugar, and salt, we now also eat an acid-producing diet, as opposed to a base-producing, or alkaline, diet. Ancestral human diet...
