Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
3 oz cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt
6 tsp 100% fruit spread
1 eggs
1 tsp water, cold
Directions
Use various flavors of fruit spread.
Combine butter and cream cheese in large bowl; beat
until smooth and creamy. Blend in vanilla. Combine
flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture,
mixing until mixture forms soft dough. Divide dough in
half; wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate
until firm.
Preheat oven to 375. Roll out half of dough on
lightly floured pastry cloth or board to 1/8"
thickness. Cut with top of glass or biscuit cutter
into 3" rounds. Spoon 1/2 ts fruit spread onto center
of each dough circle. Beat egg with water; lightly
brush onto edges of dough circles. Bring three edges
of dough up over fruit spread; pinch edges together to
seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheets; brush with
egg mixture. Pepeat with remaining dough and fruit
spread. Bake 12 minutes, until golden brown.
Let stand on cookie sheets 1 minute; transfer to wire
rack. Cool completely. Store in tightly covered
container.

The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, however some people believe that they seem to lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state which is an awful lot more wholesome than usual, known as the 'zone'. Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its best and, as a result, doesn't build up fat. The main method of the zone system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
