Imagine…Your most delicious recipes delighting family and guests while using only half the fat!
Filed Under Chocolate cookie recipes | Comments Off
Emily Morris asked:
In just ten minutes you can cut half the fat out of your best recipes while boosting nutrition- guaranteed! And you don’t even have to alter the baking method OR the taste.
How would you like to be able to cut out half the fat from your favorite recipes? And what if you could do it without altering the taste or baking method?
It would be a cook’s dream! And now, the solution is finally within your grasp. One simple ingredient can cut half the butter/oil/shortening from your recipes. If you can use a measuring spoon, you can unlock all the delightful health and cooking secrets of the greatest new addition to baking.
What could be so amazing, and how does it work?
Please allow me to explain the Chia Seed to you. You may have already heard of Chia, in the form of a Chia Pet. Indeed, these are the very same seeds…only these seeds are 100% natural, selected and packaged for food grade consumption. Don’t dismiss these as some novelty, though! Food-grade chia is serious business for your health and cooking. Carefully selected plants produce a mixture of black and white seeds for optimized nutrition. Every tiny seed is packed with fiber, omega-3 oil, anti-oxidants, complete protein, and so much more.
So you may be saying to yourself “Sure, these sound healthy, but what does this have to do with my most delicious brownie recipe?” That’s the next step, and one of the unique features of Chia. When you mix the seeds with water or any other liquid, they hydrate. This means that each seed will form a big bead of gel around the outside; which is made of whatever liquid you hydrated them in. The gel has the consistency of a gelatin snack, and is not easily removed from the seed’s surface. You can actually watch the process in action with the following recipe.
Chia Gel” title=”Chia Gel”>Chia Gel Recipe:
1 tbsp dry Chia seeds
9 tbsp filtered water (or other liquid)
Stir together the Chia and water with a fork, to prevent clumping. Leave the mixture alone for 10-15 minutes on the counter top. When you return, the bowl or glass will not be full of water any more. Instead, you will see a thick gelatin, with the seeds suspended inside. It will slide, but not pour. You’ve turned 1 tablespoon of seeds into 9 tablespoons of useful gel. This is Chia Gel, and it can be used instead of butter or oil in recipes.
Chia gel is as easy to use as butter or oil. It will keep for 1 week in a covered container in the refrigerator. (if you don’t cover it, it will dry up) Simply scoop the gel with a tablespoon measure, and add it to your recipes just as you would butter.
Why does it work so well?
Chia Seeds don’t have any flavor of their own. Instead, they take on the taste of whatever you add them to, and distribute that flavor. In that way, they can actually amplify flavors, and make your cooking even MORE delicious! But, be sure to use filtered water when you hydrate the seeds, or any unsavory flavors in your tap-water will be magnified. The healthy omega-3 oils and soluble fiber gelling action go to work moistening and enhancing the tastes in your recipe.
For example:
If “Grandma’s Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies” recipe calls for 8 tablespoons of butter, use 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of chia gel. Bake the cookies just as you normally would.
Are there any side effects?
No, there are only side-benefits! The exterior of the Chia seed holds on to moisture, ensuring your baked goods don’t dry out while cooking, and stay moist and rich-tasting for longer. These seeds also have high levels of anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants are more than good for your body, they’re nature’s healthy preservative. They are what allows the seed to be dry-stored safely for over 2 years, without ever going rancid, or decreasing in effectiveness. Don’t try that with flax or millet, they’ll go rancid as the oils inside spoil! It’s these same anti-oxidants that keep food baked with chia fresh for longer periods.
B-vitamins in my banana bread?
It’s not as far-fetched as you’d think. Baked goods like muffins, cookies and breads are usually considered for dessert…and they’re not considered to be loaded with nutrition. While Chia seeds can’t turn your pancakes into the nutritional equivalent of broccoli, they can add extra nutrition to the things you already like to eat. You don’t even have to cook with them, you can just sprinkle them onto any food that’s ‘wet’ enough so that the seeds don’t just bounce right off. What exactly do you add to foods when you add chia?
Anti-oxidants- for heart health and to combat inflammation
A full range of b-vitamins- necessary for energy
23% complete protein- to build strong bodies, and keep your energy up
6 times more calcium by weight than milk- for healthy bones in children & adults
Boron- a trace mineral your body needs to effectively absorb calcium
Soluble & Insoluble fiber- reduce the risk of colon cancer, and help clean up the intestines to avoid problems like diverticulitis
No ordinary baked good can pack in all of the above, but when you start using chia, you’ll be able to add all that in, on top of cutting out half the fat. It’s time to take your home-made foods to the next level with Chia Seeds. You can easily use them in your own recipes, or use easily available Chia Seed Recipes online too! You and your family deserve the best nutrition and the best flavor, and you can get it right now with MySeeds Chia!

You can find all kinds of chocolate chip cookie recipes that can satisfy your chocolate chip cookie cravings, but maybe you would a chocolate chip cookie recipe that’s a little out of the ordinary.

Food Allergies Causes and Recipe Alternatives – Part 5
Filed Under Chocolate cookie recipes | Comments Off
CD Mohatta asked:
As we saw in earlier parts of this article, there are many different kinds of food allergies. The “big eight” list of known allergens should not prevent anyone from enjoying the food they eat. We have looked at some recipes for cookies that are appropriate for the Christmas holidays but can be used all year long. The last cookie recipe in this series will be the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies that follows. Some ideas for other foods that can be served to avoid other allergies will follow this recipe.
Peanut-free Diet for those with allergies to all kinds of nuts, as well as foods that may contain “peanut protein” or oil from nuts. Foods with these ingredients should be prevented for consumption if you happen to have people who have peanut allergies. It has been discovered that “soy nut” is the best substitute for food preparation, which is free from peanut. A soy nut does not belong to the “nut” family since the term is coined for soybeans that are drenched and baked for a crispier taste. There are a lot of peanut-free recipes you can prepare. To name a few of peanut-free recipes are (1) Soy Nut Butter Cookies and (2) Tofu Pie made from Soy Nut and Bananas and (3) Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
INGREDIENTS:
· 1 cup margarine
· 1/2 cup sugar
· 1/2 cup brown sugar
· 1/4 cup soft (silken) tofu
· 1/2 tsp vanilla
· 1 1/2 cups flour
· 3/4 tsp baking soda
· 1/4 tsp salt
· 1/2 cup peanut butter
· 1 cup chocolate chips
PREPARATION:
Pre-heat the oven to 400ºF degrees.
In a large bowl, add together the margarine, sugar and brown sugar and mix until creamy. Add the tofu and vanilla and whisk until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
Add to the margarine mixture and combine well. Add the peanut butter and mix well, then fold in the chocolate chips. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, until cookies are golden brown.
Milk-free Diet is for those with a milk allergy, which is an allergic response of the immune system when an individual has consumed one or more proteins acquired from cow’s milk. If you are allergic to milk, you should not consume foods or beverages which contain milk, butter, different types of cheese, and sour creams. Some of the dairy-free recipes which you may want to prepare are: (1) Potato Soup, which is homemade; (2) Grilled Salmon or Shrimp, which is marinated and then grilled; (3) Pecan snack; and (4) Spaghetti with No Red Sauce.
As we have seen, it should not be boring to eat for people with food allergies. It does, however, take a lot of creativity and resourcefulness so that a person with food allergies can eat the foods that they want using different food substitutes. It can be done and all it takes is some beforehand time and preparation to make delicious treats that will not affect the person who is allergy prone.

Jhoana Cooper asked:
They say that for every occasion there is always a delicious cake to complete it. These gourmet cakes come in a wide array of ingredients. Most of the time gourmet cakes are baked on special events like birthdays, ceremonies, parties, and so much more. Even on an ordinary day, you can choose to complete your meal with a tasty cake as a desert. Food recipes are usually categorized into many different kinds. A cake recipe can be found in a cookbook or could be found in the internet. There are web sites which let you have a look at their assorted food recipes for free.
Cakes are loved by everyone. They have a sweet and distinctive taste and they can come in different shapes, sizes, and designs. So what are the different types of gourmet cakes and what is behind a satisfying cake recipe? Let’s start off with the bundt cake. It is a cake with no artistic designs and icing decorations on it. It is simply a cake that is baked in a bundt pan and the most popular ones of this kind are the banana, cinnamon, apple and peanut butter cake.
Another very famous type of cake is the chocolate cake. Wondering what is the best chocolate cake recipe? There are actually several types of chocolate flavored cakes but on top of these are the Dessert Torte, Black Forest, Chocolate Almond Cake, and so much more. They usually have a round or a square shape with a thick layer of chocolate and icing on top and on the sides of it.
Among others, another popular cake recipe is the dessert cake. It is called as such because it is smaller compared to the gourmet cakes. They are often made at home as a daily desert. Some of the most common desert cakes are the chocolate mallows, san rival, tiramisu, mango float, and icebox cake.
Some food recipes are intended for people who are on a diet. The cake recipe for these is usually low in sugar and uses an alternative for it. The most commonly used substitute for sugar in these cakes is the maple syrup.
Cheesecakes have cheese as the main ingredient and it has a creamy taste. It could be done with layers and for each layer, you can add a filling such as jam, icing, or mousse meringue. This is the cake recipe kids and moms love to bake because it is easy yet delicious at the same time. The crust used in this cake could be cookies and the filling may be a mix of blueberry, chocolate, caramel, strawberry, and many others. This type of cake is very versatile so you can even make these food recipes in your own preference.

Vegetarian Recipes-What is the difference in Veg and Vegan Recipes?
Filed Under Chocolate cookie recipes | Comments Off
Sunil Punjabi asked:
There are thousands of Vegetarian Recipes, Vegan Recipes and Recipes for meat based dishes that are available on hundreds of websites. Some of these Home cooking recipes have been handed down through generations from mother to daughter and mother-in-law to daughter-in-law. Although humans have been consuming vegetables and plant products, along with meat and other animal products, for many millennia, vegetarianism dissuades consumption of all types of meat, and eggs too. Some communities do not consider eggs as a non-vegetarian item, but in countries like India, eggs are not considered vegetarian and are not consumed by strict vegetarians. Many individuals are used to meat and egg based dishes, along with a few veggies in salads and soups. But they are unaware that there are thousands of Veg Recipes available that can be used to make a complete meal, including soups, starters, appetizers, main course dishes, and desserts.
Vegetarianism evolved with religions and cultures over many millennia. Many religions like Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism have strict rules regarding food consumption. Meat and eggs, and products made from these are strictly prohibited in many religions, castes, and communities. Thus evolved the dependence on vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices. This led to the evolution of Vegetarian Recipes over the millennia, with each caste, community, and even individual households having their own variations of standard recipes and ways to cook food. Vegetarianism is gaining ground in western countries like the US, UK, and Europe, but the opposite is happening in Eastern countries like India, where people are becoming more aware of western meat dishes and recipes.
Although vegetarianism does not exclude animal products like milk, and products made from milk, like butter, Ghee, sweets, chocolates, desserts, ice creams, etc, Veganism excludes these too. Donald Watson and Elsie Shringley started veganism and the Vegan Society in 1944. Veganism excludes all animal products as food, including milk and milk products. Anything that involves exploitation of animals for food, clothing, or any purpose is excluded for use. As veganism evolved, so did Vegan Recipes, which excluded all animal products for food consumptions. Veganism still includes all vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices, and there are hundreds of Recipes available for vegans.
Although Fast food and eating out in restaurants has become a necessity due to the hectic lifestyle, many families are turning back to healthy home cooking and the recipes handed down from past generations are coming in handy. Many individuals are also willing to try new Veg Recipes, meat and egg based Recipes and even Vegan Recipes. As they say, variety is the spice of life, and adding some variety to daily meals is sure to entice the family back to the dining table, instead of ordering pizzas and burgers, or taking the family out to lunch and dinner, which is an expensive affair.
