1 whipped cream - optional
Recipe
Preparation
in a coffee mill, finely grind the beans. In a coffee maker, brew the
espresso with the boiling water.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon and set
aside. Using a small knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean
into a medium saucepan. Pour in the milk and scald over moderate
heat, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add chocolate and stir until
melted. Cover and keep warm over very low heat.
Divide the hot espresso into 4 cups. In a blender, begin whipping
half of the warm chocolate milk at low speed. Gradually increase the
speed to high and blend until frothy, about 1 minute. Pour the
chocolate milk into the cups of coffee, stir briefly and top each
serving with some of the milk froth. Sprinkle the reserved cinnamon
sugar on top. Serve immediately with a dollop of whipped cream, if
desired. Recipe by Yvonne Womack(Quick & Easy Cooking ch) Serves 4

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Rather than thinking about which food types you really should leave out of your meal plan, focus on the nutritionally sound foods that you are able to introduce to your meal plan. If you manage to inject some nourishing grains and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon see that stop feeling hungry and have a significantl;y decreased risk of giving in to those damaging midday snacks.
Some lower carb diet guidlines:
* Eat regular meals
Most reduced carb recipes are, you won't be surpised to learn, low in carbs. We all need energy, and carbs are a quick acting energy source. A low carb diet requires great care in controlling your energy levels, as any energy contributed by non-carbohydrate sources is slower acting.
* Use reduced carb chocolate bars for cookies and muffins.
Once you have converted your favorite chocolate cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soy flour, you don’t want to mix in those high carbohydrate full-sugar chocolate. Cut up a reduced carb bar of chocolate into little pieces and use that in its place.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, white onions and green onion)
The onion and garlic family of foods is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is not much scientific evidence published, allyl sulphides are also thought by many experts to aid in colds, arteriosclerosis and diabetes.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be included in every diet.
