Strawbery Banana Scones Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
2 medium bananas -- mashed
1 cup strawberries -- peeled and
1 chopped
2 tbsp sugar
3 cup flour, all-purpose
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter -- softened
2 each egg -- beaten slightly
Recipe Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Mix together the bananas, strawberries and sugar, set aside. (Don't
do this much in advance, the bananas will blacken)
Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well with a
whisk. Using a pastry blender, mix in the butter until coarse. Still
using the pastry blender, mix in the eggs, one at a time.
Stir in the banana mixture. The dough will be very moist and messy.
Knead it in the bowl enough to pick up all of the flour mixture. (It
will still be very moist.)
Turn out the dough on a floured board, and flour the top of the dough
so that flour coats the entire dough. Flatten with a rolling pin or
your hands to 3/4".
Using a knife, cut the dough into squares, or large wedges, and lay
onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in the center of the oven for
15 - 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
I have added pine nuts, raspberries, pecans, anything to the basic
flour, baking powder, salt, butter and eggs mixture. Yum!

Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsIn planning a meal plan, the important thing is to try to cut down your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some low carb diet guidlines:
* Food labels can be misleading Watch out for sales blurb that boasts 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the back of the product. Quite a few are only marginally decreased and in some instances still more than a competitors standard brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are identical.
* You can create really good smoothies with reduced carbohydrate yogurt. Ok, well, its not technically cooking, but if you really want smoothies you can make them with low carb yogurt and fruit. Obviously, you will need to ensure you use only fruit that is low in carbohydrates and use the whole fruit as the fiber will help.
