Low Glycemic Load Diet
Controlling blood sugar is key to weight loss and reduced risk of certain diseases. Eating a low Glycemic Load diet is one method to manage blood sugar. Studies show those foods which have the greatest impact on blood sugar levels are carbohydrate foods; however, certain carbohydrates have more of an impact on blood sugar than others. Slow-acting carbs only cause a slight increase in blood sugar. Fast-acting carbs, on the other hand, are converted very quickly to glucose by the body, causing blood sugar levels to rise and fall rapidly, which has serious health consequences. One way used to measure how carbohydrate foods affect blood sugar levels is by a food's Glycemic Load.Detox Foods | Detox smoothies

Dessert
Homemade Marshmallows: Lightly butter, or spray with a non stick vegetable spray, the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch (33x23x5-cm) baking pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Then sift about 3 tablespoons of confectioners' (powdered or icing) sugar onto the bottom of the pan (this will help release the set marshmallow from the paper). Place 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold water into the bowl of your electric mixer that is fitted with a whisk attachment. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let stand until gelatin softens, about 15 minutes.

I have become completely overpowered by the force that is salted caramel. I simply can’t get enough of it, no matter how it’s presented to me. Ice cream ?

Rainbow Cheesecake
There’s a hidden secret to this Rainbow Cheesecake recipe . A surprise. And no, the surprise isn’t the awesome rainbow layers that appear on each slice of cake.
Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies
Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies These Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies are rich, decadent and so perfect for Valentine’s Day! Brownie and cheesecake batter are swirled together to make a festive and impressive dessert . Indianapolis, along with many other states in the Midwest, is coping with a huge ice storm that is supposed to cover us in over an inch of ice. Unfortunately the worst of the storm is supposed to come tonight.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve rarely made dishes that require multiple steps. The main reason is simply that I hate washing dishes. For this cake, however, I’d wash all the dishes and scrub the kitchen floor, because it’s worth it. A simple sponge cake is prepared in advance, split in half, then gets reassembled with a mixture of mascapone cheese and cream. Fresh strawberries are used here, because they’re in season, but you can use any fresh firm-flesh fruit (say that five times fast). The cream filling is soft, fluffy, and delicate.

The USDA released its new food pyramid the other day (which is actually a plate now instead of a pyramid), and I am sorely disappointed to report that cinnamon rolls did not appear anywhere on that plate. I think by now most of us know what should be on our dinner plate in terms of healthy, well-rounded nutrient-laden meals, but it is my considered opinion that our breakfast plate should include cinnamon rolls now and then. And not just any cinnamon roll, mind you, but how ‘bout a homemade cinnamon roll hybrid that is a cross between a cinnamon roll and cinnamon toast, is super easy to make and gosh darn delicious. In honor of their ancestry, I call these little gems cinnamon toast rolls, and here’s all you need to make them…

In the spirit of off the gridness and in an effort to be more self-sufficient, my wife and I recently tackled a new project at home. We built a wood-fired oven, or WFO, if you prefer. An outdoor wood-fired oven gives us another option for many kinds of cooking. It also provides a great accompaniment to the barbecue. The WFO is a lot of fun to built and use. It provides a lot of feel good factor for having done it ourselves with little money.
