"Small changes in the way you think about and prepare foods – in fact, even one small change – can make the difference in keeping your body fueled and satisfied," said Sarah-Jane. "The one ingredient that I think changes everything:  grapes from California.  Whether you choose green, black or red California grapes, the sweet crunch infuses meals with flavor and nutrition, offering a satisfying and healthful element to your favorite recipes."

Sarah-Jane stars in a just-released video featuring new recipes that demonstrate just how easy it is to mix grapes into everyday dishes for a boost in flavor and health.  Along with her favorite tips for eating well, she demonstrates these three new and unique grape recipes:

• Grape Grilled Cheese Sandwich
• Cornbread Dressing with Roasted Grapes, Walnuts and Pancetta
• Peanut Butter and Grape Trifle

One of Sarah-Jane's favorite tips:  Healthy eating definitely doesn't mean boring.  Take an old favorite and give it a new twist, like in the Grape Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe.  Grapes add an important nutritional and flavorful element to this crispy-on-the-outside-gooey-on-the-inside American favorite.

Grapes of every color contain a variety of antioxidants and other polyphenols and natural components that may contribute to a healthy heart.  Grapes also contain potassium and are a good source of vitamin K, which plays a role in helping blood to clot.  And, with just 90 calories, no fat, no cholesterol and virtually no sodium in a 3/4 cup serving of grapes, you can feel good about mixing grapes into just about any dish or eating them one by one.
