Free tasty recipes - Banana Cream Pie Recipe

2012-04-03T11:38:00.008-07:00

Banana Cream Pie Recipe

Description:
Free tasty recipe, Banana cream pie recipe is a special recipe for desert. Banana Cream Pie is a very tasty recipe. Banana Cream Pie touch the heart of you and your family.

Search labels: Pie, cream, banana, cream pie, banana pie.

Ingredients you will need:

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 Cups milk
6 Egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Teaspoon vanilla bean paste
2 Baked 9-inch pie pastry shells or you can make and substitute graham cracker crusts if you like
10 ripe but firm bananas
2 Cups of Sweetened whipped cream
Sprig of Mint for final garnish if you prefer but is not necessary

Preparing you Banana Cream Pie:

First you will combine all of the milk, and the sugar, vanilla bean paste, cornstarch, and salt on top of a double boiler. A double boiler is a pot filled with water that is directly over the heat, with another pan without any water on top of the pan over the heat. This is a design created long ago to help you from burning delicate sauces, or cream fillings for pies etc., so you will not burn them. You will whisk this sugar, milk and starch mixture vigorously to get the sugar melted, and also to make sure that you do not burn the milk. You will cook over the double boiler until the mixture is well thickened, while you have stirred constantly, making sure there are not starch globs in the mixture. You should have to stir for about 10-20 minutes, or until it is thickened to a very thick like oatmeal consistency. You will then add a small amount of the beaten egg yolks to the hot milk mixture into the while stirring constantly. You will do this in small amounts, until all of the eggs are incorporated. You will then add back over the double boiler and cook for 2-3 minutes longer. You will remove the creamy mixture from heat, and add the butter and mix into the filling and then let cool thoroughly.

While the mixture is cooling I would bake the pie shells according to the instructions on the package. I would cook until done and let them cool totally, as you do not want to create a soggy bottom pie. You will then add to the bottom of the cooked and then cooled pie shells with about ½ of the amount of cooled filling in each pie shell. You will then peel eight of the bananas, and slice them into the pie shell. You will then cover the cut bananas with the remaining pie filling. For garnish you will cut on a bias or slanted angle pieces for the two remaining bananas. You will add most of the remaining pieces around the edges, and then you will whip some heavy cream with some sugar to stiff peaks. If you do not want to go through the trouble of whipping heavy cream you can use miracle whip or your local brand. In the center of the pie you will add the whipped cream, and then some of the bananas on the top in a flower pattern, or something creative. Add the sprig of mint to the top of the dessert and voila, Banana Cream Pie. This is a really easy recipe, and it is a good tasting recipe. I hope that you enjoy it.

Free tasty recipes - Coconut Ginger Ice Cream Recipe (this is a must try recipe)

2012-04-03T11:31:00.009-07:00

Coconut Ginger Ice Cream Recipe - This Is A Must Try, It Is Excellent & Very Easy, Great Kid Recipe

Description:
Free tasty recipe, coconut ginger ice cream is not only yummy in tasty but also very good for health. Coconut Ginger Ice Cream is a must try ice cream. Not only you but your kids will love Coconut Ginger Ice Cream as you know kids love ice cream a lot. Coconut Ginger Ice Cream is especially for kids.

Search labels: ice cream, cream, ginger, cream, coconut ginger ice cream, coconut ice cream, ginger ice cream, must try.

Ingredients you will need:

1 Can of coconut milk (or) 16 ounces
1/4 Teaspoon of fresh ginger
1/2 Cup of shredded coconut
1/8 Teaspoon of nutmeg
1/4 Cup of sugar - you can go much less on the sugar if you like. Adjust it to you taste. If you want to totally remove it that is an option too. You can use a sugar substitute, but follow the directions on the box.
2 Cups of rock salt
4-5 Cups of cubed or crushed ice.
4 small ramekins
2 Large zip lock bags
1 mixing bowl

We had to select out of a hat, the items we were to prepare, and do so in a slotted time period to be graded. We knew that we had to make a dessert, and were allowed to bring any items into class that we wanted to use within reason. I decided to bring in rock salt, coconut milk, and shredded coconut. We always had fresh ginger, nutmeg and sugar at our disposal, so I knew that I would have that at my disposal for any dish. I very much believe that my instructors loved my coconut dessert dish, due to they ate every last bite, and I made a perfect score.

This is a great recipe, and it is very fun to make, and probably the easiest to make, too. I am glad that I am able to share this recipe with you!

You are now ready to make your ice cream.

Preparation:

You will add in a mixing bowl the 16 ounces of coconut milk. It is always best to shake the can of coconut milk before you open it, to get the built up coconut milk fat solids incorporated back into the liquid. You will ten cut off a piece of ginger and peel it, and then cut it, and make a paste, and add it to the milk. Add you nutmeg, and sugar, and give it a good mix. You will need to taste it to make sure it has the flavor component you want. If you want to add more nutmeg or ginger now would be the time to do so.

If you are a diabetic you could use a sugar substitute or no sugar at all. I have not tried it without the sugar, so I would be interested in any feedback on this matter. I do believe that it would work though.

You will now need to get ready for the fun to start. You can roast of your coconut before or after. Just get a small souse pan, and add your coconut to a pan over med to med high heat and toss until golden brown. Remove from pan and save for topping your finished ice cream later.

Add your milk ice cream mixture to the first zip lock bag and make sure it is sealed very well. If you have a rubber band to go around keeping it from flapping around this is a good thing. In your second bag you are going to add half of the rock salt, and half of the ice to the bag. Next ad your 1st zip lock bag with the milk mixture, and then the rest of the ice, and rock salt. You will then let the kids take over if they are helping you out.

This is best done outside in an area that is not going to matter if things get a little out of hand. You will need to shake vigorously for around 5-10 minutes, or until the milk starts turning into a frozen solid. You will then remove from the bag of ice, and rock salt. Mix very gently with cold water, and pat dry. Immediately put the semi-frozen mixture into the ramekins, and put into the freezer for about 5-10 minutes. Pull from freezer and add your roasted coconut to the top and dig in.

I love this recipe, and it is so fun to make. It is also one of the best desserts I have ever eaten as well.

Free tasty recipe - Low Fat Key Lime Cheesecake Recipe, Very Low Fat Content, And Sugar Substitute Can Be Used

2012-04-03T11:23:00.006-07:00

Low Fat Key Lime Cheesecake Recipe

Description:
Free tasty recipe, lime cheesecake recipe are especially for those people who do not want to have a lot of fats in there food.This lime cheesecake can help people to lose weight through this low fat recipe. Lime Cheesecake is a very low fat recipe.
Search labels: cake, cheese cake, lime, low fat, weight loss.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup of fat free margarine, or butter if you must
Ingredients to make the cheesecake filling:
16 ounces fat free sour cream
3 packages of 8 ounces of room temperature fat free cream cheese
1/4 Cup of fat free milk
1 cup sugar or sugar substitute
2 teaspoons of a good vanilla bean paste
1/3 cup of key lime juice
1 9" spring cheesecake pan

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9 inch spring form pan with cooking spray. You will mix your graham crackers and margarine, or butter. Mix until incorporated. You will then want to add your graham cracker crumb mixture very evenly over bottom or your spring pan. In a large stainless steel mixing bowl you will mix together the fat free cream cheese, sugar or sugar substitute, and vanilla bean paste. I will start out on a low speed, until blended. I will then increase the speed and whip the mixture until it is very creamy, and smooth. After the first set if ingredients are incorporated, I will add my key lime juice and continue to mix thoroughly. Then you will add the milk, and finish mixing all items together until it is very smooth in texture. If your mixture is too runny, you may want to add more cream cheese.

**Helpful tips**

You can use a food processor if you like, if you do not have a hand held mixer. I prefer a hand held because it is easier on the clean-up.

Ready to bake off your Key Lime Cheesecake: After you have your spring pan ready, and your filling made it is time to put them together. You will need to get a spatula to scrape the bowl after you pour the creamy filling into prepared pan. You will scrape any extra filling into the pan, unless you want to sample your filling. This is not a bad idea. You can adjust for any flavorings you would like to add at this time. Some prefer a sweeter taste, or maybe more vanilla or Key lime juice. So, you can add at this time to suit your needs.

You will then need to add your cheesecake filling into the spring pan. After the filling is in the spring pan you will transfer the spring pan, to larger pan and add a water bath. The water will need to be about 1-2 inches up the side of the spring pan to prevent burning. You will need to check after about 30 minutes, and bake until center puffs and is almost set. Remove from oven, and the water bath. If you have a cooling rack let cool until cool to the touch, and then put into the refrigerator and chill completely. You can add fruit to your dish if you like for garnish. It makes a beautiful presentation if you decide to do so. I hope that you enjoy this dessert recipe.

Shred or finely dice the cabbage and the carrots, you can use a food processor or a cheese grater if doing by hand, or use a knife. Mix onions with the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.

10 Super Tricks to Lose all the Weight you Want for Life!

By: Randy Stafford

I hate the word "obese". With as much as 60% of the Americans being fat, you'd wonder why there isn't some sort of law suit against certain institutes, public facilities, theatres, and most of all the airlines. Why? The seats are to small.

Think about this for a second, now there is more fat people than there are skinny. Being embarrassed because of your fat isn't the only problem though. If you don't start losing weight, chances are a lot greater, you'll pay for it in the long run. If you don't have any physical problems that are apparent to you, they may be sneaking up on you.

Hey, I'm on your side. I hate the ideal of going on a plane and hoping that somebody sitting next to me will be skinny. With that said, there may only be a 40% chance of that happening. It's been rumored that fat people may have to start paying for 2 seats when going on board the air craft. Now these are only minor costs. Especially since you may not fly that much.

The serious problems that I'd like to drown you with is the medical problems. If you are anything like the majority in your class, it's already affecting you emotionally. I can sympathize with you at the clothes store. It is highly embarrassing.

Sometimes, you try every way possible to make yourself happy with the body you have. It only works temporarily. I even find my self justifying my size. I find clothes that are sloppy. They hide the most when you are wearing oversized clothes. However, when you pass by a mirror at the mall, you discover how ridiculously fat you really are. What is worse, the clothes make you look bigger.

Well, if you are not affected emotionally with all this then maybe it's time to look at some other problems. Heart problems may slip up on you. Diabetes can be another. However, you've obviously heard all this stuff before. It's not secret. Every time you've ever went to a doctor, they tell you to lose weight. Easier said than done.

I do have a way. It's not the only way. I am sure you've tried slim fast, dexatrim, the atkins diet, and some of those crazy diets like the grape fruit diet.

Before you or anyone can lose weight, it's best to get a little knowledge. Now rest assured that if you try to starve your body, it's natural for it to attempt to protect itself. This is why its important for you to understand that no one can lose weight for you.

If you truly want to lose weight, you must understand that a true pound is worth 3500 calories. If you try to lose a pound in one day, the body will try to save itself. If you trick the body and retrain your body into a routine, then you will more than likely have success and still be happy.

Okay, if your ready to lose all that emotional stress, that embarrassment and most of all that weight, then I have 10 super simple steps to help you and get you back to a healthy body.

Frame of Mind. The first thing is to remind yourself that you are doing this for you. You do not owe anyone anything. You can't lose weight for your spouse and they can't lose weight for you.

Set a realistic Goal - Don't say your going to lose 100 lbs. Tell yourself that you want to lose 4 lbs this week. Big goals are always accomplished with little goals.

Trick your body. Do not skip meals, just eat less at those meals. Don't stuff yourself. Just quit early. Eat slowly. Do not eat in front of the television. This has a tendency to make you eat more without realizing it. Try eating in front of a mirror.

Plan your meals. If you don't plan them and you go out to that favorite fast food place you've been supporting, then you will not lose weight. We are trying to change your habits.

Track what you eat. Write down everything you eat each day and evaluate it. The more education you have, the more weight you'll lose. Plus it gives you something to do. It also make you consciously aware of your goals.

Shop on a full stomach. Most people buy more junk food and everything looks so good when you are hungry. If you go grocery shopping, it is extremely important that you eat something before you go.

Eliminate 2 Fats - You should actually get rid of two different fats. Animal fats which are better known at saturated fats and trans fats. Unfortunately, trans fats are harder to find. You can do some research on this while your sitting there not doing anything.

Exercise. I know this is the hardest thing for you to grasp. Did you know you can actually exercise in your office, on your couch or anywhere you please. Just do something more than you did before. Instead of asking someone to do something for you, do it yourself. Make exercise you friend. Do you like to window shop? Go look at some skinny clothes and look forward to it. Climb stairs at the mall.

Buddy System. It's always been a known fact that if you are doing something with a buddy, chances are great that you'll do better. It's the natural competition in each of us that keep us going. If it's not competition, it's someone to talk to about your anger, your thoughts, and your goals.

Get motivated. Read as much motivational books you can. To achieve anything, you must want to. When you lose your motivation, it draws you down. Keep your spirits up and your weight will come off.

See you at the scales.

weightloss - Importance of fiber in weight loss - tastyfreerecipes.blogspot.com

Getting Enough Fiber Is Important For Weight Loss

By: Lee Dobbins

Fiber is an important part of a healthy diet, but did you know it can help you in your weight loss efforts? Filling up on fiber can help you to feel full for longer, therefore causing you to eat less overall which will result in healthy weight loss.

In addition to helping you lose weight, fiber also has many positive health effects. Fiber has been linked to managing diabetes, cutting cholesterol, and limiting heart damage. One Swiss study found that eating a high-fiber meal reduced hunger more than a meal which was low in fiber.

How Much Fiber Do You Need?

You should consume between 25 to 35 grams of fiber a day. While that might not sound like a lot, most Americans only get about 15 grams and many much less. Fiber can be found in most fruits and vegetables including carrots, peas, broccoli, spinach, and cauliflower.

In addition, there are many cereals and breads that have a good amount of fiber, but you must read the labels to determine which ones. Typically anything made with whole wheat or whole oats or bran will have fiber - plus these cereals tend to be natural and low in fat and sugar which also help with your weight loss and are better for you overall.

How Can You Eat More Fiber?

There are some easy ways that you can increase your fiber intake. Think about adding garbanzo beans to a salad or soup, or add a tablespoon of bran to your cereal. Leaving the skins on fruits and vegetables will also increase your fiber intake. The actual fiber content of each individual food isn't that much so it is best if you simply eat more types or servings of fiber rich foods each day.

Consider eliminating meat from some of your meals. Meat has no fiber, and it doesn't give you the benefit that you get with fiber-rich food. Instead, try eating more grains, fruits, and vegetables. In this way, you can be sure your meal has a healthy concentration of fiber.

Add Fiber Gradually

It might be difficult for your body to become accustomed to a diet that is rich in fiber. It is indeed counter-cultural, since many families grew up consuming a great deal of meat. However, if you're really want to lose weight and be healthy, you'll give fiber-rich meals a try. Fiber rich foods, combined with sensible eating, can help you lose weight and keep it off.

Don't try to totally change to a high fiber overnight. It may require a great deal of trial-and-error before you hit upon the right amount of fiber. However, in the end, you may be amazed at the positive role that fiber plays in your diet. And it may inspire you to encourage your loved ones to add more fiber to their own diets as well. A diet high fiber diet can help you to manage the amount of food you eat and has many health benefits. So load up on fiber-and watch your waistline shrink as a result!

Weight loss - Lose Weight by Eating More -- Food that is Virtually Impossible to Store as Body Fat

2012-04-02T13:49:00.006-07:00

Lose Weight by Eating More -- Food that is Virtually Impossible to Store as Body Fat

By: Marty Gallagher

Certain foods are extremely difficult for the human body to convert into body fat - not impossible but damned near impossible. By consuming calories derived from these foods, the anabolic margin of error is extended dramatically, which means it will be easier to lose fat and gain muscle, if you choose.

Lean protein, protein devoid of saturated fat, has been the staple, the bedrock nutrient of elite athletes for 50 years. Why? You can eat a mountain of lean protein and not get fat - assuming you train with intensity sufficient enough to trigger muscle growth. Lean protein is difficult for the body to break down and digest. As a direct result of this digestive difficulty, the body kicks the metabolic thermostat upward to break protein down into subcomponent amino acids.

The human body wants to preserve stored body fat as a last line of defense against starvation. If overworked and under-fed, the body will preferentially eat muscle tissue to save precious body fat.

Obese people that go on crash diets, precipitously slashing calories, might lose 100-pounds of body weight, yet still appear fat. Despite losing from say 350-pounds to 250-pounds, they still appear fat because they still are fat. The body has cannibalized muscle tissue and saved the fat. Though they might weigh 100-pounds less, they still possess 25-40% body fat percentile.

Lean protein is the bedrock nutrient in the physical renovation process because it supplies muscle tissue battered by a high intensity weight workout with the amino acids needed to heal, recover and construct new muscle tissue. Lean protein is a bedrock nutrient in the physical renovation process because it causes the basal metabolic rate (BMR) to elevate; the metabolic thermostat, the rate at which our body consumes calories, increases when digesting protein. Lean protein is a bedrock nutrient in the physical renovation process because it is damned near impossible for the body to convert it into body fat.

The other bedrock nutrient in the physical transformation process is fibrous carbohydrates: carrots, broccoli, green beans, bell peppers, spinach, cauliflower, onions, asparagus, cabbage, salad greens, Brussels sprouts and the like. Fibrous carbohydrates, like lean protein, are nearly impossible for the body to convert into body fat. Fibrous carbohydrates require almost as many calories to digest as they contain. A green bean or carrot might contain 10-calories yet is so dense and difficult to break down that the body has to expend nearly as many calories to break down that bean or carrot as the vegetable contains.

Fibrous carbohydrates have a wonderful "Roto-Rooter" effect on the internal plumbing: as they work their way though the digestive passageways they scrape mucus and gunk off intestinal walls and help keep sludge buildup to a minimum. For this reason fibrous carbohydrates are the perfect compliment to a lean protein diet. Too much protein can cause bile buildup: fiber is the Yin to protein's Yang. The two nutrients should be eaten together.

Both protein and fiber have a beneficial dampening effect on insulin secretions. It is no accident that professional bodybuilders, the world's best dieters, capable of reducing body fat percentiles to 5% while maintaining incredible muscle mass, construct their eating regimen around protein and fiber.

The best way to eat is to eat often. If you eat 3,000 calories a day the best way is in five 600-calorie feeding or six 500-calorie feedings instead of a breakfast containing 400-calories, a lunch of 1000-calories and a late dinner of 1,600-calories. Avoid calories easily converted into body fat.

Eat multiple small meals in the 400-600 calorie range comprised exclusively of foods near impossible for the body to convert into body fat. Plus, these foods cause the metabolism, the BMR, the body thermostat to elevate in order to digest them. Optimally you should eat every three hours: in about the time the nutrients from the previous meal have dwindled, been expended and exhausted, in about the time the elevated metabolism is 'settling back down to normal,' eat another small protein/fiber meal. This reestablishes anabolism, kicks the metabolism upward once again and gives the body more practice at assimilating and distributing quality nutrients.

They say practice makes perfect and by eating small, power-packed, tough to digest meals every three hours, the metabolism is kept elevated, anabolism is established and maintained and the individual never feels hungry. A person who is not hungry is far less inclined to binge on sweets and treats, junk and trash then the crash diet/calorie cutters who always feel hungry, deprived, listless and lacking energy.

The small meal/protein/fiber approach has been used successfully by elite athletes for decades and is not some untried dietary abstraction - rather it is the proven method of choice, one that has withstood the test of time, one that has been used for decades and been proven effective time after time.

If a person is able to establish a multiple meal schedule comprised primarily of lean protein and fiber eaten every three hours, then adds to this eating schedule some serious weight training and a cardiovascular regimen, physical transformation is a biological certainty.

Free tasty recipes - A BBQ Chicken Recipe That Beats the Rest

A BBQ Chicken Recipe That Beats the Rest

by James Swelling

Description:

Who doesn't love BBQ Chicken? Apart from vegetarians of course. It is just one of the most loved dishes around the globe and for good reasons. Chicken is a meat available to all, it is not overly expensive, a great source of protein, fills you up and makes you feel good! BBQ chicken does not have to be grilled or smoked it can be cooked in the oven too. The trick is knowing what items go into a good recipe so that you and your family enjoy the result.

Search labels: BBQ, BBQ chicken.
For the regular BBQ chicken there are a lot of different recipes and many different ingredients but usually if you see the following then you are on to a good one. Cumin, worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic, ketchup, sugar, cinnamon, even sometimes beer. For chicken that has an Asian flavored sauce you want a recipe that has items like soy or hoisin sauce, ginger and honey. Remember everyone has their own tastes and preferences which is why there are so many different variations out there. A great base recipe to start with is one from a show called Paula's Home Cooking with Paula Deen where she makes a dish called Deens Brothers BBQ Chicken. It is one that anyone can follow and tastes great as is, or you can play with it.

Ingredients:

One whole chicken cut into 8 portions (chicken weight about three and a half pounds)
Orange juice - 2 tablespoons
Ketchup - 1 cup, liquid smoke - 1/4 teaspoon
Dark brown sugar - 1/4 cup (packed)
Dry mustard powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Cayenne pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce - 1 teaspoon

Preparation:

Prepare the oven by preheating to 375F or the grill by using olive oil and brushing it with it. Place in a bowl all of the sauce ingredients (all of them apart from the chicken). Mix well so that they are all combined and then scoop out a third of a cup for basting. Take the chicken pieces and put them in the sauce and toss carefully until they are well coated. Cover the chicken pieces and put on the grill or place them in a roasting pan. Cook for a total of forty to forty five minutes (make sure they are cooked all the way through). After 20 minutes has passed of cooking time baste them with the remainder of the sauce you had set aside.

The great thing about this recipe is that as well as tasting good it is easy! Liquid smoke may pose a problem for some of us more inexperienced grilles, but it is just to give the chicken a Smokey flavor without going through a long difficult procedure of smoking the meat. It doesn't have to be used if you prefer not to.

Although chicken is not an expensive meat, especially when you buy one whole, some people prefer not to have to cut up a whole chicken themselves. Therefore, thighs are a great alternative, as they are cost effective taste good and cook in less time. This means you and your guests get to eat them quicker! Or look for a mixture of chicken parts, there are legs, wings and breasts too.

Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies

By: Stephanie Foster

Description:"There are two kinds of people in the world: those who love chocolate, and communists." - Leslie Moak Murray

I can't help but love that quote. When I was a kid, my grandpa always called any store bought cookies that somehow made it into the house "Commie cookies." For him, it was Grandma's homemade cookies or none at all.

There's just something special about homemade cookies, especially chocolate chip cookies, so far as I'm concerned. It's a great family activity, something even children can help with, and everyone loves eating the results.

Here's an easy recipe for chocolate chip cookies I think you'll enjoy:

Search lables: cookies, chocolate, chocolate chip.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 package butter pecan, chocolate chip, chocolate fudge, devil's food, German, chocolate or yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine -- softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 (6 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)

Heat oven to 350°. Combine half of the dry cake mix , butter, vanilla and eggs in large bowl and mix until smooth. Stir in remaining cake mix, nuts and chocolate chips.

Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set (centers will be soft). Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
