Date Nut Muffins Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup wheat germ or bran
1/2 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts)
2 tbsp oil
3 tbsp molasses
1 cup apple juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1/4 tsp allspice
Recipe Preparation
Mix flour and leavenings in a large bowl. Stir in bran or germ,
dates, and nuts. Mix remaining ingredients in another bowl until
smooth; add to flour mixture. Stir just to combine. Drop into muffin
cups (makes 12 small ones, less more satisfying larger ones).
Sprinkle rolled Oats on top to look pretty. Bake at 375 degrees for
15-20 minutes.
Non-vegan slightly higher-fat alternative: substitute buttermilk and
and egg for the apple juice.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightDrink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.
The case against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Most of the negative side effects observed, such as persistent tiredness, stomach upsets, or bad headaches seem to be just temporary, but critics contend that low carb diets are not without serious long term side effects.
Reducing carbs may mean missing out on necessary nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which should be part of any sensible diet, particularly those that we get from grains, vegetables and fruits.
Cruciferous vegetables, Superfoods that help with Dieting
(includes Broccoli, Celery, Collard greens and Rutabaga)
These cruciferous vegetables are jam-packed with vitamins (folate and vitamin c, for example), minerals (eg. potassium), fibre, chlorophyll and antioxidents.
Over and above their most other great health properties, the vitamins and nutrients in these are believed by scientists to reduce the risk of cancer.
