  1. A Chocolate And Vanilla Cream And A Short-Crust Pastry With Cream And Strawberries Recipe

    June 26, 2011 by GuestPoster

    A short and a long recipe, whatever amount of time you have available. The result, in both cases, will be delicious.

    Let’s start with a chocolate and vanilla cream
    Ingredients for 8 people
    300gr dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
    2 egg yolks
    1 tbsp vanilla extract
    300ml double cream
    whipped cream for garnishing
    Slowly melt the chocolate on a very low heat, then set aside to cool.
    In a separate bowl, whip the cream with the vanilla extract. Add the yolks and chocolate and mix well until you get a smooth cream. Leave in the fridge for two hours before serving.

    And the second one is  short-crust pastry with cream and strawberries. If you have even more time, you can make the pastry from scratch.
    Ingredients for 6 people
    500gr ready made short-crust pastry
    500ml milk
    1 stick of cinnamon
    4 yolks
    100gr sugar
    50gr flour, sifted
    150gr small strawberries to decorate
    Score the vanilla stick and remove as many seeds as you can, add them to a pan with the whole stick and the milk, then bring to boil and set aside to cool.
    whip the yolks with the sugar until pale and fluffy, then add the flour and mix until you get a smooth cream.
    Sieve the milk into the bowl, give a stir and put back in the pan. Cook on a medium heat for until the cream has thickened (but don’t bring to boil again).
    Pour the cream in a bowl and let it cool covered with cling-film.
    Stretch the pastry until very thin then transfer it to a shallow tin (like those to cook pizza for example). Make it adhere to the edges, and get rid of the pastry in excess.
    Cover the base with tinfoil, and weigh it down with raw beans, and bake it for 20 minutes at 180C°.
    Once it’s baked, pour the cream inside, decorate with the strawberries, and dust with icing sugar. Keep in the fridge until it has to be served.

  2. Ground Beef Recipes Ideas

    June 23, 2011 by GuestPoster

    If you have a family that you need to cook for, you should find some ground beef recipes. Even if you just cook for yourself, you can make any of these ideas, and then freeze the leftovers in single size serving bags. With a ready stock of meals in your freezer, you can skip cooking once in a while and just reheat something from the freezer.

    Ground beef recipes are great to have because the meat can be so cheap. On the high end, you can expect to pay over six dollars for a pound of it that is organic or even more if it is low fat. On the cheap end, you can sometimes find a pound that is just under two dollars a pound if you buy it in bulk and it has a high fat content. Once you have your cheap beef, you can make a variety of things.

    Perhaps the easiest thing you can do is brown the beef and pour a can of spaghetti sauce on it. If you let that mixture simmer on low for forty minutes or so, you will have a great sauce to pour over pasta. If you do not want to use a jar of sauce, you can easily make your own. Simply cook some onions and garlic in the pan until they are soft. Then, add the meat, brown it, and add some canned tomatoes and canned tomato sauce. Lastly, add salt and Italian herbs. Allow this to simmer for about an hour. If you want to add body to your sauce, consider grating some carrots into it.

    There are countless more things that you can do with ground beef recipes. You can make anything from casserole to meat loaf to tacos. They all taste good. Once dinner is over, you should find a chocolate cake recipe and enjoy dessert.

  5. Should You Buy a Carrot Juicer?

    June 13, 2011 by GuestPoster

    With summer here, you might be thinking of getting outside more and enjoying the fresh air and the hot sun. One thing that summer also brings with it though is less clothing! And for many of us, less clothing brings with it one more caveat: the desire to eat, drink, and live healthier.

    One of the best ways I’ve discovered to establish a healthy habit is also one of the tastiest. I’m talking about getting a carrot juicer! Now, truth be told – just about any juicer will work with carrot, thus all juicers are carrot juicers, but the point is that I pretty much make nothing but delicious carrot juice with my juicer, so I like to think of it my carrot juicing machine.

    Why do I like it so much?

    1. It’s cheap.
    You can buy huge bags of organic carrots at Krogers and other grocery stores. I’m talking 20 pound bags! For that kind of bulk, and since it’s organic, you’d expect it to be super expensive but it’s actually only $25. In fact, you can often find it on sale for $20 which is great because a bag this big will often last long enough until the next sale comes around.

    2. It’s quick.
    It doesn’t take a lot of time to get out the carrots and juice. There’s basically no prep work. You might cut off the ends of them and depending on your juicer (Breville, Omega, etc) you may have to chop the carrots into smaller chunks, but it’s a painless task. It’s always good to find healthy habits that also don’t consume all your time, and juicing fits the bill perfectly with that one!

    3. It’s delicious.
    Fresh carrot juice tastes a lot better than any other carrot juice you’ve had. It’s got an amazingly pure taste to it – it’s strong, and you can literally feel a boost of energy after drinking it. You can sweeten it with a chunk of apple or pretty much any fruit, too, if you prefer a sweeter drink.

    So with summer around the corner, should you buy a carrot juicer? If you’re asking me, the answer is most definitely – yes!

  6. Why Get a Juicer Machine? The Many Reasons

    June 10, 2011 by GuestPoster

    Juicing has become such a fad nowadays. More people want to get in on the action and are purchasing juicer machines left and right. Aside from the fact that juicing is so popular nowadays, are there any other reasons why you should also head out to the store and buy your very own juicer machine? What benefits can juicing give you aside from the fact that a cold glass of fresh juice is a very nice refreshment during summer? What does a glass of fruit and vegetable juice have to offer to people?

    Why would you want to consider adding fresh juices from fruits and vegetables to your diet? These are the three main reasons.

    • Juicing allows you to consume the right amount of fruits and vegetables efficiently. Some people just dislike the taste of vegetables although most people love fruits. It can be quite hard for these people to eat vegetables whether raw or cooked. When you juice vegetables it is not that hard to consume them. Some people even end up liking vegetables more when they are juiced. They still retain their goodness and their nutritional value when juiced.
    • Juicing helps you get the most nutrients from fruits and vegetables. All the goodness from fruits and vegetables are better absorbed when they are in juice form. There are lots of people who have impaired digestion and it is very difficult for them to eat some fruits and vegetables. Juicing will pre-digest fruits and vegetables so you get the most nutrition.
    • Juicing can help you add a wider variety of fruits and vegetables to your diet. There are some fruits and vegetables which are not very appoelaing when they are consumed raw and they do not look very good either. When you juice these types of fruits and vegetables, you will be more likely to consume them.
