The Atkins’ Diet
Although it originated back in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it allows weight reduction whilst allowing you to eat many of the foods you love, like meat and hard cheese.
With this diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a high protein, low carb, weight loss program.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

Ingredients And Procedures
Ingredients
3/4cupyellow mustard seeds
1 1/2cupcider vinegar
1 1/4cupdried cranberries
3tablespoonhoney
1teaspoonsalt

Directions:

As the dried cranberries soak with the mustard and vinegar, their bright red color leaches out into the vinegar. The resulting mustard is a pretty, cranberry-tinted pink.

In a non-aluminum pot or jar, combine the mustard seeds, vinegar and cranberries; cover and soak for 48 hours, adding additional vinegar if necessary to maintain enough liquid to cover the seeds.

Scrape the soaked seed-and-cranberry mixture into a food processor and process until the mixture turns from liquid and seeds to a creamy mixture flecked with seeds and bits of cranberry. Add honey and salt.

The process takes at least 3-4 minutes, so be patient. You may need to add additional vinegar as necessary to create a nice creamy mustard; keep in mind that it will thicken slightly upon standing.

After about one week of aging, the cranberry flavor seems to settle into this mustard and make it all the better, but it is perfectly good immediately.

Makes about 3 1/3 cups.
