2010 Iron Conference

Click HERE to visit the Iron Disorders Institute for more information on IDA or the Conference.
I wanted to make you aware that the 2010 Iron Conference is being held in Charlotte, North Carolina on October 9, 2010.

And while you're over at the IDI site checking out the conference info, check out this story regarding a food that is VERY high in heme iron, but may not be entirely safe, at least for some.

And a note on those Chewy Date Cookies that I posted yesterday: I had some batter left over (I know, it's really hard for me to believe, too!), so I decided I'd experiment with freezing it. I formed it into a log, wrapped it in wax paper, then in plastic wrap, and placed in the freezer. Now, I obviously cannot tell you how long it will keep in there (although I generally use cookie dough within a month); however, I can tell you that it slices like a dream and bakes up wonderfully. I left today's batch in for a couple minutes longer that the original recipe, and they got a bit crispier on the edges and were wonderful! The coconut touching the pan toasts a bit and imparts a super flavor - give it a try! This makes a great iron-rich snack when combined with fresh fruit - I had mine with mango.

Stay Strong!
