6 cup hulled fresh strawberries
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 recipe Buttermilk Biscuits, prepared, and
preferably still hot
1 cup lite whipped topping

In a medium bowl, crush 1 1/2 cups of the strawberries with a fork or
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.

The Atkins’ Diet
Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although not accepted by all scientists, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg lamb and hard cheese. On the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, diet. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. Foods containing carotenes (includes cilantro, rose hip puree and tomato puree) These fruit and veg have high levels of alpha and beta carotenes believed by experts play a key part in minimising the risk of cancer, particularly those cancers involving the lung, esophagus and stomach. Most are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program. |
