2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 recipe Buttermilk Biscuits, prepared, and

1 cup lite whipped topping

potato masher. Slice the remaining whole berries into quarters and add to
the crushed berries. Gently stir in the sugar and set aside for 10
minutes.
Place a biscuit on each of 8 serving plates; split with a fork and top each
with 1/2 cup of the strawberry mixture. Garnish each with 2 tablespoons
of whipped topping.
This recipe yields 8 servings. Serving size: 1 biscuit plus 1/2 cup

Comments: Don't bother making this delight with out-of-season, flavorless,
or frozen berries. This dessert should celebrate fresh, at-their-peak
berries only! For a different twist, try fresh raspberries or blackberries
or use cut-up peaches or nectarines instead. See "Buttermilk Biscuit"
recipe.

Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, white onions and welsh onion) The onion family of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is as yet, not enough scientific proof published, allyl sulphides are also thought by many experts to reduce the symptoms of antiinflammatory effect, arteriosclerosis and fatigue. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be included in every diet. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based around the glycaemic index, a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the ease with which the glucose and energy of the food type gets changed to sugar in your blood stream. The claim is that slow acting foods (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), will keep you feeling full for longer and mean that you can consume less food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also very beneficial for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in reducing rises in glucose levels. |
