Fat Free Granola Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
5 apples
1/4 cup raisins
1 cinnamon, cloves
Recipe
Preparation
Pour boiling water over the raisins and let sit for five minutes.
Core and cut the apples (I use McIntosh when available) into thick
slices and place in a casserole dish. Add raisins and mix. Sprinkle
on cinnamon (about 1/2 teaspoon) and a pinch of ground cloves.
Bake covered in 350 F oven for 30 - 40 minutes. At this point the
apples should be tender, but not mushy. Add enough granola to cover
the apples and put uncovered casserole back in oven for about 15
minutes or until granola is browned.
Serve warm with soymilk or an ice cream-like substance. Or serve cold
with warm soymilk or warm custard.

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 reduced carb diet tips:
* Fiber is crucial
Cutting the carbs in your meals often leads to fiber reduction also. Check for low carbohydrate recipes that are rich in fiber to restore the balance.
* Make reduced carb bread crumbs for breaded foods.
Although you can sometimes buy reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs, you may make them yourself by simply using low carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is toast the low carb bread in a gas or electric oven on a sheet of baking paper. When it is quite hard and crispy, grind it in your blender. Keep in an airtight jar or container.
Lycopene superfoods
(includes watermelon, red bell peppers and rosehip)
The chemical lypcopene is a non-synthetic coloring agent and part of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is the reason for the deep red color of many fruit, vegetables and pulses.
Intrestingly, unlike many other healthy agents, lycopene is not damaged during the cooking process, but is actually strengthened by going through the cooking process.
.
Lycoprene's key value is that it is an antioxidant and is believed to help to lower the probabilty of cancer.
This useful phytochemical is the most effective quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also thought by nutritionalists to slow down the development of atherosclerosis.
