Black 'n' White Brownies Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar replacement
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp water
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut, grated
1 tsp coconut milk
1 oz baking chocolate, melted
Recipe
Preparation
These brownies are mailable.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Cream shortening and
sugar replacement until light and fluffy. (My note: be sure to use a
sugar replacement that does not lose sweetness when heated -
Aspertame is not suitable.)
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in
vanilla extract and water.
Divide batter into two equal parts. To one part add unsweetened
coconut and coconut milk. Stir to completely blend. To the remaining
half, beat in the melted chocolate.
Spread coconut mixture on bottom of well-greased 8-in square pan.
Spread chocolate layer on top of coconut layer. Bake at 350 F for 25
to 30 min. Cut into 1 x 2 inch bars.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
In deciding on a meal plan, it is important to attempt to moderate your consumption of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
Some reduced carbohydrate diet tips:
* Use low carb chocolate for cookies and muffins.
If you have gone to the trouble of converting your most popular chocolate chip cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soy flour, you really don't want to mix in those high carbohydrate sugar-rich chocolate. Chop up a reduced carbohydrate chocolate bar into tiny pieces and use that in its place.
* Know what is in your food
Watch out for the food label that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the reverse of the can or package. Some are only slightly decreased and in some instances still higher than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are exactly the same.
Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes onion, asparagus, soya and thyme)
The large family of compounds known as flavonoids discovered in these types of food are believed to have properties in helping to prevent cancer.
Nutritionalists looking into the properties of flavonoids think that they also have numerous health giving properties, amongst them, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory capabilities.
Most are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program.
