It is eaten as a snack and at the end of the meal, is suitable for young and old, raw and cooked, can be red, green or yellow. What is it? But the Apple of course<br /><br />A small riddle to highlight that the Apple is a fruit universal, those that really everyone knows and have eaten at least once, if only behind parents from small stress. Moreover, already the ancient Romans not only knew, but appreciated a lot and you must own to their entry of the fruit in Britain.<br /><br />There is no single Apple, the flesh and the skin make a difference, because one can be white or yellowish, firm and juicy, sweet or sour, while the other can be red, yellow or green and might even have blemishes.<br />
<br />How to recognize a good and healthy Apple? The basic requirement is the compactness, sturdiness. Those who give it hot ' only contact of fingers are cool, but you start towards the last phase of their lives. Apple should creak in contact with teeth, must be tough but doesn't last, because it must still allow the classic bite without risk.<br /><br />Diets based on a single food we don't like very much, why deprive your body of important nutrients, but are now numerous studies that prove their validity, provided that they are made for a short time. Very quickly, indeed, no more than two or three days, the maximum time to allow your body to detoxify without triggering dangerous weaknesses that are neither health nor line.<br /><br />The Apple diet, for example. The Apple is a fruit which provides fiber, vitamins and very few calories, and is indicated for constipation and diarrhea, in the first case, crush, in the second. It is a kind of fruit present year-round in stores, that brings little energy (50 calories per 100 grams) and contains a large amount of fructose, a simple sugar that metabolizes slowly, helping to maintain the blood glucose level and fading appetite. It is also rich in potassium, phosphorus, iron, Silicon, copper, vitamin A and vitamin C.<br /><br /><b>We see here are ways in which you can eat the Apple.</b><br /><br />-Apple with Peel, wash, cut and served with lemon.<br />
<br />-Baked Apple. Your best bet is to make an incision shallow around the entire circumference of the Apple horizontally so that it does not burst during cooking.<br />
<br />-Apple mixture. To enhance its flavor, add sugar to the cooking, some water and a stick of cinnamon or vanilla and rind of half a lemon.<br />
<br />-Apple slices. To accompany every kind of fruit or salad to eat with cheese.<br />
<br />-With Apple juice. For dessert, cut and bake apples for 30 minutes with the orange peel, remove the peel and add the juice. When it evaporates, remove from heat and serve with sugar, once was well mixed.<br /><br />An example of blended with Apple: Apple Smoothie, carrot, banana and skim milk. The carrot you centrifuge, then mixes with fruit and finally we add the milk, removing with one tablespoon of lumps.Souphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15247813234518413303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151496536712497425.post-19994909607541201782013-02-28T00:24:00.001-08:002013-02-28T00:24:28.929-08:00Paleo Diet DessertsIf you are the first weapons with the Paleo diet and have recently abandoned croissants and cappuccino at the beginning may be a little harsh, but as soon as your body will be completely purified from sugar addiction, you will see that there will no longer be any difference between breakfast, lunch and dinner.<br /><br />Upon awakening, a moderate and natural sense of hunger, in the absence of any desire for sugar, and you're ready to begin your day with tasty and nutritious dishes Paleo.<br /><br />Here are some ideas.

At least in most cases, especially for those who have little time and little desire.<br /><br />Clearly, the combination of food and the amount of porizioni will depend on how you intend to organize the remaining meals, from your architectural Physics (sports, work) and the ultimate goal (lose weight, increase muscle mass, maintain weight, and so on). The consumption of certain foods should be limited and only occasionally (such as muffins, sausage, pancakes, chestnut and sausage), maybe during brunch on Sundays, in order to make the most of the benefits from a well-balanced diet paleo.Souphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15247813234518413303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151496536712497425.post-6139998948529777502013-01-09T19:38:00.004-08:002013-01-09T19:38:55.316-08:00Dessert Recipes Rice CakesMy rice cake was created for extreme need for a gentle, undemanding good and lightweight for dinner with friends.<br />

Raise the heat and boil without stirring, just until the syrup has an amber color.<br />Remove the Pan from the heat immediately and pour the syrup in the bottom of baking pan lined with wax paper and let cool.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I turn on the oven to maximum and then boil the rice in a saucepan with the sugar, the milk, the lemon zest, coriander and salt. Stirring constantly, Cook for 10 minutes, then add the lemon zest.<br /><br />Remove the Pan from the heat and let it rest.

You will need to sharpen the guest check list. It should contemplate the subject, print and mailed invitation cards, and then be prepared for the specific date itself.<br /><br />A baby shower is a way for family and friends to celebrate the arrival of a new baby with the padres-a - being. It is a reason for joy and fun for all! But organizing a baby shower large requires an actual planning. A very important part of the planning process is the cake. Every baby shower needs a cake, but the cake can serve as something more than a dessert - which can also function as a decoration, even a table centrepiece!<br /><br />Most of the baby showers has a theme, and the entire group is based on that topic. The cake is no exception and must also follow any theme you have chosen. If you have talent and you can bake and decorate a cake (or know someone who can do this), it is possible to have a cake made at home. Or you can order one at a bakery, making sure to place your order in time for the shower.<br /><br />Once you have decided whether to be made at home or purchased in the store, you will need to decide what type of cake that has. There are many varieties of baby shower cakes to choose. Some of them are listed below:<br /><br />Angelfood cake<br />butter cake<br />Butterfly cake<br />Carrot cake<br />Cheesecake<br />Chocolate cake<br />chiffon cake<br />Cupcake<br />Devil cake food<br />Fruit cake<br />Gingerbread<br />Ice cream cake<br />Mooncake<br />Pineapple Upside down cake<br />Pound cake<br />Spice cake<br />Sponge cake<br /><br /><b>Then there is the filling to consider.</b><br /><br />more icing<br />different canned fruit flavors<br />pudding<br />custard<br />whipped cream<br />jams<br />peanut butter<br />pure chocolate<br /><br />Not only have to consider what kind of cake to have, but also the way in which could be able to decorate the cake in a way that will cause the welcome party to more special baby. Here are some ideas:<br /><br />1 Belly Cake. A great idea is to design a cake for the baby shower and make it look like a pregnant belly. This can be done by placing a cake circulate in front of a rectangular and icing cake together to resemble a belly of pregnant.<br /><br />2. Cake toy blocks. Another idea is to design a cake for the baby shower and make it look as children's toy blocks (either a large block or 3 or 4 smaller blocks). Blocks toys cakes can improve even more surrounding them with candy or small toy cars.<br /><br />3. A cake's Autograph. This is a great idea that "Congratulations" is the only word in the cake, leaving space for each of the guests to "sign" your own name in the formation of ice. A photo of the cake is taken when everybody has signed it, making a great keepsake for the padres-a - being.<br /><br />4. A character cake. The cake can be made in the form of a character, such as Pooh Bear.<br /><br />5. A baby bib cake. Another idea similar to character cake, but the cake looks like a baby bib.<br /><br />There are so many things that you can do with a baby shower cake. These are just some suggestions for other forms of cake:<br /><br />Baby Buggy<br />Baby booties<br />Moses<br />Bottle<br />Noah's Ark<br /><br />There is also a "diaper" cake. But care - she is actually made of diapers and not edible!<br /><br />Of course, you can also experiment with creative ideas of their own, or take a look at the book of cake design in your local supermarket or bakery for ideas. Remember that the "goal" is not only to make a delicious dessert, but also a great Center or decoration that stand out in the memory of the padres-a - be.

Lose weight for the summer is perhaps one of the most boring things to do, but how to say "If you want to look beautiful, a little need to suffer". However, if the diet is well organized, you can create an excellent diet where, moreover, there is even a small portion of ice cream. The ice cream is definitely one of those foods which is really hard to resist, even if it looks like one of the more caloric, just observing that a portion of ice cream contains 300-500 calories. Moreover, the ice cream has not even a food that satiates and then you end up with eating too much and put on pounds that do certainly well test costume and our body. However, with a little effort, you can achieve a controlled diet in which there is a bit of ice cream.<br />
<br />THE RIGHT DOSE OF GOODNESS IN THE DIET<br />If you're just willing to introduce ice cream inside of your diet, you can do it but we put a lot of attention. To eat ice cream after dinner or in the afternoon, you will need to consume in main meals calorie foods: in this case, therefore, are fine fish steamed or roasted, tuna, vegetables, grilled meat that contains little fat like a thread. Anyway, take care when buying ice cream: in fact, you should do well careful not to buy ice cream with oil or hydrogenated vegetable fats or partially hydrogenated.<br />
<br />Other advice that we can give is to avoid eating ice cream from the Pan and prefer a cone or a cup with one of those trays from 1 or 2 pounds; in this way you will keep calories under control. Favorite ice cream with fruit, which are much more good and especially less caloric. If you choose to buy the ice cream directly into ice, head to feet, in such a way as to cover at least a couple of kilometers on foot.

Flan is a common and popular dessert. It is caramel custard. The dessert includes rich custard with a layer of soft caramel on top. The dish is known as flan in most of the world, even though it is a French word. Flan is simple to make and usually consists of vanilla flavored custard. You may be able to find them made in other flavors such as coconut, lemon, and other fruits.<br /><br />Empanadas are another dessert found in Mexico. It is a stuffed pastry that contains different sweetened fillings depending on the country. Some fillings you can find in Mexico are cream, pumpkin, and a variety of fruits. In some states in Mexico, the empanadas are filled with different meats. Empanadas can be served as a dessert and also a breakfast food.<br /><br />Chocolate has a rich history in Mexico. The Aztecs adopted the use of chocolate from earlier Mayan culture. Chocolate played an important role for the Aztecs. They used it both as a food and as currency. One of the items that the Spaniards acquired from the Aztecs was chocolate. The Spaniards took the chocolate back to Spain where it became the King's official drink. The Aztecs made a variety of drinks with the chocolate which also included nuts, seeds, and honey. Champurrado is a chocolate drink that is very popular at breakfast time in Mexico. It is warm and thick. You can find people in the morning buying a cup by street vendors. It is also considered a dessert which can be served with Churros.<br /><br />A dessert found in the Yucatan is called sapotes dulces. Sapotes are a fruit grown in Mexico. It is very rare to find the fruit in the United States. Sapotes have an orange flesh that has a unique flavor of being juicy, creamy and can often be said simmiliar to the flavor of coconuts, and vanilla. Sapotes dulces is a dessert using the fruit and mixing it with orange juice, rum, and sugar and served chilled. It is easy to make and has a great flavor. <br /><br />Cajeta is syrup made in Mexico that's main ingredient is caramelized milk. The process of making the syrup consists of slowly cooking down the sweetened liquid until it is thick. Sweetened milk is the most common ingredient of the syrup. Cajeta is eaten by itself, on pastries, and even as a topping on ice cream. The Hershey Company introduced their own cajeta targeted for Mexican food lovers that live in the United States.<br /><br />There are many more Mexican desserts to please your sweet tooth. There is a wide variety of chocolates, cakes, cookies, candies, just to name a few. Recipes can allow you to experiment and discover new sweets.

It will be easy for you to get hooked on these tasty and enjoyable treats.Souphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15247813234518413303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151496536712497425.post-33805523703829059772009-02-20T20:20:00.000-08:002009-02-20T20:20:00.504-08:00Tiramisu - The Italian Food DessertToday Tiramisu is the most popular of Italian food desserts. It graces the menu of nearly every Italian food restaurant. However, its rise to fame has been meteoric; it wasn't even invented until the 1970's in the Veneto region of Italy. It didn't even gain widespread popularity until the early 1990's. It is a unique blend of ingredients that separately seem to not go together at all. However, when correctly blended together they form one of the treasures of Italian food.<br /><br />The first ingredient is Mascarpone cheese. This cheese has very deep roots in Italian food. It was made as far back as the 13th century in the region of Lombardy. This cheese is concentrated milk cream and has a very high fat content, getting up to seventy-five percent. It is a smooth and creamy cheese. Traditionally it has been considered to be more of a winter dish and therefore shows up in more of the seasonal Italian food dishes. This is mainly because of its high calories and the fact that when it was first produced there was no refrigeration and this delicate cheese does not keep well in hot temperatures. Like many other Italian foods, the best Mascarpone cheese comes directly from Italy. However, it you're an Italian food lover making Tiramisu at home, there are plenty of makers of Mascarpone cheese in America.<br /><br />The next ingredient is Zabaglione cream. This is a true classic Italian food dessert. It hails from the world renowned kitchens of Venice. When it originally became a popular Italian food dessert it was made with yolks, honey, and a sweet Cyprus wine. However, today the cream has taken on a new flavor. To begin with sugar is substituted for the original honey. The most stated difference in taste though, comes from the use of Marsala wine instead of the sweet Cyprus wine. This cream can be made from home and is easier to make than most Italian food chefs let on.<br /><br />The third ingredient is the most distinctive factor of Tiramisu, espresso. This shot of caffeine is where the dessert gets its name, which means "pick me up". This is a coffee that is true to Italian food and is much stronger than American coffee. Espresso is the most important coffee in Italian food and can be seen following many Italian meals. <br /><br />The fourth and final ingredient is Ladyfingers. These popular cookies originated in Italy and have made numerous appearances in not only Italian food, but in many other national cuisines. These cookies are remarkably light due to the fact that the dough with which they are made is rich with whipped egg white. They are immensely popular and one of the most appreciated Italian food desserts in Italy.<br /><br />These four ingredients blended together just right and topped off with chocolate make an Italian food dessert that is as popular as the individual ingredients. Make sure when you prepare this at home that you take great care in choosing the ingredients, it will really make a difference in the quality of Tiramisu. Now that you know the correct quality and the origin of the ingredients you will surely impress your friends with you Italian food knowledge.Souphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15247813234518413303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151496536712497425.post-27536954286434968182009-02-10T20:19:00.000-08:002009-02-10T20:19:00.480-08:00Dessert Burn Real Hoodia for Real ResultsHoodia diet is the latest diet craze to hit the market. Weight has come a long way from a socialite's problem to everyone's threat to health. A lot of diet trends have come and gone. All of them have promised much but delivered little. Others didn't even work at all. Fortunately there is a new way of loosing weight. The Hoodia diet pill offers a more practical solution to the problem. Amidst all the fakes the brand Dessert Burn delivers what it's suppose to.<br /><br />Hoodia is available in the market in many forms and brands. Ever since it came out, a lot of manufacturers have taken advantage of its popularity, making their own line of products. Unfortunately hoodia can be rare and expensive, other manufacturers cheat to take advantage of unsuspecting customers.<br /><br />If it's hard to get then why not get it at all?<br /><br />The diet is from a plant called hoodia gordonii. It grows in the Kalahari dessert in South Africa. It's used by the locals to fend off hunger and thirst during long hunting trips. Contrary to popular belief it's not from a cactus plant.<br /><br />It naturally suppresses an individual's appetite. It has a chemical component much stronger than glucose which acts on the satiety center of the brain. This center can be found in the hypothalamus. This chemical causes the hypothalamus to send a signal to the brain that it has consumed enough food.<br /><br />The dieter will feel full even though he or she taken little or no food at all. It has no typical side effects like other diet pills. Its main source is a plant which makes it 100% natural and safe. It does not contain any drug.<br /><br />Individuals don't have to prepare portion sized meals. They don't have to calculate their calorie intake. They don't have to follow a strict regimen. They have control over their diet not the other way around. It's similar to fasting without the hunger pains. Individuals will be able to control their cravings such as midnight snacks.<br /><br />Unfortunately due to the diet's popularity there are hundreds of fakes. Other manufacturers sell products that contain little or no hoodia at all but still market them with the name. They have also come in different brands and forms. Apart from pills, there are also patches, capsules and liquids.<br /><br />Some of these manufacturers have sites but do not have the proof of authenticity. They are taking advantage of the hype surrounding the diet. Proofs that consumers should look out for are CITES certificate, independent lab results or analytical reports. The label of the diets pills or other products should not contain other ingredients except Hoodia gordonii. <br /><br />Fortunately there are manufacturers that consumers can depend on. Dessert Burn is one of the brands that cater original hoodia products. They have the proof in their website available for consumers.<br /><br />Individuals should remember that this diet is for maintenance only. If it is not used appropriately you can literally starve yourself to death. The diet pill should be taken with lots of water, exercise and healthy food. The diet is used to control your cravings not stop you from completely eating.<br /><br />Make sure that the product is genuine before buying it. Diets work differently for people. This diet provides a safer, easier and convenient solution to help you loose weight.Souphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15247813234518413303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151496536712497425.post-91683455875712094142009-01-30T20:35:00.000-08:002009-01-30T20:35:00.351-08:00Passionfruit Cheesecake Delight: A Yummy Down Under Australian DessertOK.

It's decorated in royal colors or Purple for Justice, Green for Faith and Gold for Power: These colors were chosen to represent a jeweled crown honoring the wise men who brought gifts to the Christ Child on the Epiphany. A tiny plastic baby is hidden inside. Whoever gets the piece with the prize is named "King for a day."<br /><br />Some of the most popular King cakes are those created in New Orleans at the famous Randazzo's Camellia City Bakery. Despite the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the store recently reopened its doors and took part in a special program with DHL to bring a taste of home to displaced New Orleanians, residents and others for Mardi Gras.<br /><br />Explained Tricia Zornes, owner of Randazzo's, "Continuing local traditions like Mardi Gras helps revitalize the New Orleans economy, improves morale and shows the world that we can rebuild and re-establish the culture that has made New Orleans special."<br /><br />To help the rebuilding and celebrate the reopening, shipping company DHL developed a festive, co-branded shipping box, specially designed to open from the top to protect the rich icing and traditional shape. In addition, according to Zornes, the shipper's sales representative offered his own time and effort to rebuilding the bakery after nearly everything was lost, from the valuable baking equipment to the building itself. "In addition to helping us create a new distribution process, he went beyond the call of duty in offering to help paint, or do any odd jobs that would help us get up and running quickly," said Zornes.<br /><br />"DHL has been committed to leveraging its resources to support disaster relief and long-term reconstruction along the Gulf Coast, and is now pleased to be able to support the private sector in rebuilding their businesses and their livelihoods," said Kay Hart, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications, DHL Americas.Souphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15247813234518413303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151496536712497425.post-67774804268601057972009-01-19T20:18:00.001-08:002009-01-19T20:18:36.620-08:00Decadent Chocolate Dessert Recipes: A CelebrationPeople now days have little time to cook decent meals for themselves and their family let alone find the time to make a dessert of any kind. There is however nothing better than enjoying a home-made dessert and what with the huge selection of dessert, especially chocolate dessert, recipes to choose from it is easier than you think.<br /><br />Although a lot of them aren’t too bad, we are not talking about boxed cake or cookie mixes here. Home-made chocolate dessert recipes will take some time to prepare and a little more time to perfect but the effort will be well worth it. Just take a quick look at some ideas you may never have even thought of before.<br /><br />• Apple Chocolate Chip Dessert Pizza<br />• Black & White Chocolate Tartlets<br />• Chocolate And Peanut Butter Blondies<br />• Black and White Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries<br />• Chocolate-Almond Ice Cream Roll<br />• Chocolate Fudge Squares with Mocha Glaze<br />• Chocolate Waffles With Coffee Syrup<br />• Chantico Chocolate Cake<br /><br />There are hundreds of chocolate dessert recipes and they will have all your taste buds begging for sweet release.

Whether you're planning for your next dinner party or want a simple recipe the kids will enjoy, nothing says decadence like a chocolate dessert.<br /><br />Working with Chocolate<br /><br />Did you know different types of chocolate require different methods for cooking, and when melting chocolate it is best to use a metal spoon as wooden and plastic spoons retain moisture that will cause the chocolate to seize?<br /><br />Many dessert recipes will require you to melt chocolate in a double boiler. This is really easy to set up. All you need is a glass bowl big enough to hold the chocolate and at the same time fit into the top of a sauce pan without touching the bottom. In the sauce pan you simply boil water and then place the bowl of chocolate pieces on the top of the pan, stirring constantly until the chocolate is smooth.<br /><br />Fresh fruit can be a perfect and light ending to any meal. You can give it that little something extra and have melted chocolate on the table to dip the fruit into. Satisfy everyone’s taste buds.<br /><br />If you want delicious dessert recipes as well as the quickest and easiest way to make them without spending hours in the kitchen, just type ‘chocolate dessert recipe’ into your preferred search engine.Souphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15247813234518413303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151496536712497425.post-90932890210286941152009-01-10T20:36:00.000-08:002009-01-10T20:36:00.227-08:00Racing-Inspired Desserts Take The Checkered FlagLeave it to star female race-car drivers to come up with desserts that are not only fast, but incredibly tempting.

Most often Dessert foods are of sweet food but can also be of a strongly flavored food, such as cheese, like cheese cake. The world dessert comes from the Old French word "desservir", which means 'to clear the table'. Often times in the English language dessert is confused with the word desert(note only one "s"), which is a baren peice of land normally with sand as soil.<br /><br />It wasn't until after the 19th-century where the rise of the middle class, and the mechanization of the sugar industry, brought the privilege of sweets into the general public and unreserved it exclusively for the aristocracy, or as rare holiday treat. This was because sugar became cheaper and more readily available to the general public. As sugar was widely spread, so was the development and popularity of desserts.<br /><br />In today's culture dessert recipes have become a popular item for discussion, as they are a winning way to win people over at the end of any meal. This is partly because if you serve a mediocre meal, with an excellent dessert, people will remember you for the dessert and forget about the meal.<br /><br />Most cultures, have a seperate final distinction between the main course, and the sweet course. This is not true however in some cultures such as Chinese, who will mix in sweet and savoury dishes throughout the entire meal. Dessert is, often times seen as a separate meal or snack, rather than a course, and can be eaten some time after the meal by many individuals. Because of it's wide spread popularity there are even some restaurants that specialize in desserts.<br /><br />Some of the most common desserts are:<br />- Biscuits or cookies<br />- Ice creams<br />- Meringues<br />- Fruit<br />- Cakes<br />- Crumbles<br />- Custards<br />- Gelatin desserts<br />- Puddings<br />- Pastries<br />- Pies or tartsSouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15247813234518413303noreply@blogger.com0
