Recipe
Preparation
"Although brie is not a fresh cheese, it, too, has a wonderful
affinity for any number of herbs. A large wheel topped with a
variety of herbs and served with bread or crackers is a buffet in
itself.
DIRECTIONS: =========== Cut off the top rind of the brie. Lightly
mark the top of the cheese into four pie-shaped wedges with a knife,
then divide each wedge into three more wedges, again marking lightly.
Sprinkle half the walnuts onto one of the wedge-shaped areas and
press them gently into the surface. Repeat the process with half of
each of the remaining ingredients, proceeding in order around the
wheel. Allow the brie to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes
before serving. The wheel can be loosely wrapped and refrigerated for
as long as four hours.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
When deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
Some lower carb diet pointers:
* Make reduced carb breadcrumbs for deep fried foods.
Although you can probably buy reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs, you can also make them by using reduced carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is toast the reduced carbohydrate bread in a gas or electric oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is hard, whizz it in the food processor using a coarse blade. Keep in an airtight container.
* Make great smoothies by using reduced carb yogurt.
Yes, it’s not technically cooking, but if you adore smoothies you can make them with reduced carb yogurt and your favorite fruit. Clearly, you will need to make sure you only make use of fruit that is low in carbohydrates and use all of the fruit as the fiber is important too.
