Cooking tips

Try Eating Raw Food : Raw food can help you detoxify, cleanse and revitalize your mind, body and spirit. Raw and Living Foods contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.


Buy Local Food : As an ‘everything in moderation’ kind of guy, I’d find a strict local food diet fascinating but obsessive and intimidating, says Peter Marks, program coordinator for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project in Asheville, N.C. He suggests a more gradual approach: Every week or month, replace one food in your diet that’s provided by a big, faraway company with a locally grown food.


Dieting tips

The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a weight loss system created by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which encourages that dieters should be eating "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats"
Doctor agatston invented his weight loss system for people who have cardiac problems, as a consequence of his detailed study of scientific studies on other nutritional studies.
Examples of good foods include, veal cutlets, turkey breast, oysters, fat-free cheeses, almonds, eggs and some vegatables, like lentils, collard greens and spinach.

Ingredients And Procedures

3 C Flour

2 C Sugar

1/4 C (+ 2 Tbs) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

2 Tsp Baking Soda

1/2 Tsp Salt

3/4 C Vegetable Oil

2 Tbsp Vinegar

1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract

1 C Heavy Cream

6 oz Semisweet Chocolate Chips

1 C Milk Chocolate Chips

15 Snack-Size Snickers Candy Bars -- cut in

thin slices 1/2 C Peanuts -- chopped

1. Preheat oven to 350?F. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in oil, vinegar, 1 tsp vanilla, and 2 cups cold water until well blended. 2. Pour into 2 greased 9-inch round cake pans, dividing evenly. Bake 25 to 28 mins, or until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cakes cool in pans 15 to 20 mins, then unmold onto racks to cool completely. 3. Meanwhile, in a 2-qt bowl, combine cream, semisweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. Heat in a microwave on High 1 1/2 to 2 mins, or until melted and smooth when stirred. Stir in remaining 1 tsp vanilla. 4. Remove 3/4 cup chocolate mixture and set aside to cool. While remaining mixture is still warm --- but not hot --- add Snickers pieces and stir until combined (some pieces will remain chunky; some will melt). Set aside to cool. 5. When firm enough to spread, fill stacked cake layers with half of Snickers mixture. Spread remaining mixture evenly over top of cake. Frost sides with some of reserved 3/4 cup chocolate mixture and spread remaining chocolate mixture over top of cake. Sprinkle peanuts around top edge of cake to make a border. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
