Anise Meringue Kisses Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
3 egg whites
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground anise seeds
Recipe Preparation
The flavor of anise in these light cookies makes them a great after-
dinner dessert. Some people prefer the center to be soft and chewy,
but if you prefer the dry melt-in-your-mouth type of meringue, turn
off the oven and, with the door closed, let them stand 30 minutes to
an hour. These cookies are generally baked on parchment paper, but we
have found that regular bond paper makes a very acceptable
substitute. (By Times Food Stylists) Beat egg whites until frothy.
Add cream of tartar and beat to soft peaks. Gradually beat in sugar.
Continue beating until stiff and glossy. Beat in anise. Using pastry
bag, pipe onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 275 degrees F.
30 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen kisses. NOTE: If drier meringue is
desired, turn off oven and let kisses stand in oven with door closed
about 1 hour. Each kiss contains about: 9 calories; 4 mg sodium; 0

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightIn deciding on a meal plan, it is important to attempt to moderate your consumption of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Replace sugar with splenda. Recipes that call for sugar can be changed to make use of a sugar substitute like splenda. It has a different density so you will need to expirement with it and it might not be perfect for every dish, but it does a decent job most of the time.
* Use reduced carb chocolate for chocolate cookies and muffins. If you have taken the time to convert your tasty chocolate cookie or muffins recipe using soya flour, you really shouldn't mix in those high carb sugar-rich chocolate. Chop up a reduced carbohydrate chocolate bar into tiny pieces and use that as an alternative.
Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes lettuce, fennel, lima bean & chamomile)
The nutrients called 'flavonoids' which exist in these foods are thought by experts to have properties as anti-carcinogens.
Nutritionalists looking into the effects of flavonoids believe they may well also have numerous healthy benefits, amongst them, antiviral and anti-inflammatory capabilities.
A good number also help you lose weight, so should be included in every weight loss regime.
