Health Booster Garlic Soup -- Weight Loss -- Magic Diet

Health  Booster  Garlic Soup -- Weight Loss -- Magic Diet

What could be better  than something to help your  immunity system  when you need it most during a diet or weight loss plan.  Every extra bit helps you to fight off viruses  or any other nasty bugs looking to get you and bring you down. By eating this soup often you will find that it will give you a boost to your  body that you can actually feel as it goes through your system.  

I added  some chili because this spice helps to activate  and elevates  your  metabolism to increase blood flow  and to burn off those extra calories.  As you eat this soup you will start to feel a warmth going through your body  and a sense  of wellbeing. Also  you  should feel a slight clearing of your nasal passages as  it starts to clean  and  clear your  system.  Also I find that I will get a small headache that only lasts for about 5 minutes after eating the soup, but nothing to fear because I know that I’ am going through a detoxifying stage when I have this soup. 

Now one thing that I need to “warn” everyone  is you should always see  a Medical Doctor before you decide to go on any diet or exercise  program.  Also this soup is made only by natural ingredients that you will find in any home and is safe to make, but you should always take anything in moderation and if you feel anything that is not normal, then you should get your question answered by a MD. Never take anything for granted, from any recipe or anything else you could be taking for weight loss or a diet.

I hope this Garlic Soup helps you were you need it and I know you will just love it. Please send me your comments on how it worked for you. 

************************************************************************************************************

Recipe; 

6 to 8 Cloves -  Minced  garlic
3 Slices - Rye bread
1 Sm. - Onion
1 - Egg

1 to 1/2  Tbsp. -  Veggie stock (low- sodium) or other.
1/2 Tsp. - Sweet paprika
1/3 to 1/2 Tsp. - Chilli
3 Tbsp. - Olive oil  ( 1 Tbsp. reserved)

1/4 to 1/2 Cup - Milk

Salt and pepper to taste.

Options; 
1/2 Cup - Red sweet peppers
2 Stocks - Green onions
1 Med. - Carrot
1 Med. - Leek





************************************************************************************************************

Go ahead and add the amount of garlic you want. Here I used about  half a bulb, thats about  6 to 8 cloves it just right for me. 

Try it with different types of garlic and change the olive oil to give you that variety in your soup.

Make sure that you have the heat settings on a med.-low to or on low for you do not want the garlic to burn, but to just blend into the oil to give it a full rich flavour. Try to not over cook the oil nor the garlic, for it will give you a bitter taste in the soup if you do.

For me, I really like "rye" bread instead of whole wheat because of the texture and the taste. Also, did you know that the rye bread is just as good for you as the whole grain ones. Please see the article on this bread by clicking this link. "Why is rye bread like whole wheat or is good for you" . Of course you can use plain white bread if you want, and it will turn out just as good but without the benefits of the other breads.

I have a rule that all herbs are good for you and I try to use as much as I can in my recipes, with as much varieties as I can without stopping. So go ahead and add as much as you want and make it your way.

Skinny Chicken Magic Diet Soup - Weight Loss

Skinny Chicken Magic Diet Soup - Weight Loss

Now after  a lot of e-mail’s  asking me to get another  Magic Diet Soup  recipe,  so  this time I added a little more umff !! with some meat, so here’s the  soup  for you to lose the weight.

I have used this soup before during my weight loss program that I started using this first Soup here "Magic Diet Soup - Lose Weight Fast - Low Gi." Although this soup is  a med GI , because of the carrots I find it works just great on its own because the protein just sticks to your ribs and lasts linger in your system .

I hope it works for you like it worked for me, and yes  I do make this soup very often,  say about  twice a month just to keep my diet under control. Also you can change the soup by just adding some meat to it and there you go the same diet soup, but with a different protein.

Please let me know how yours turned out and did you add anything different to it. Also try all my diet recipe's here  "Weight Loss - Magic Diet'

*********************************************************************************************************

Recipe; 

1  Lbs. - Chicken breasts

1 Med. - Carrot
1 Med. - Parsnip
1 Med. - Leek
1 Med. - Onion
2 to 3 Cloves - Garlic
1/4 Cup - Parsley
1/4 Cup - Chives
1/4 Cup - Dill
1 1/2 Cube - Chicken stock (low-sodium)
1/2 Cup - Rice (white or brown)

Salt and pepper to taste

 Options; 

1 Tsp. - Tomato paste
1/4 Cup - Green onions
1 Med. - Celery root 

*********************************************************************************************************

Here I'am using only chicken breasts, but you can really use any part from the chicken, as long as you remove most of the fat and all the skin.

Try it with beef or a different type of meat, it will all be good and  it will give you more of a variety for your diet plan.

Go ahead any add any type of veggies you like,  add more or less, whatever you want.

Make it your way, afterall it's your soup, just remember to add only low-sodium stock to it, the less salt the better. 

Add water to about  2 inches above the veggie line. If you find that you want more of a liquid  soup more then a thick one, then add more water until you get it exactly perfect for you. Remember to adjust the stock to accommodate the extra water to keep the soup tasteful.

Add rice or celery root, for I very often use the root to substitute the potato to give me of  a lower GI soup. Anyway you do it, it still will be awesome and be perfect for you diet plan. Also to get it all to a low GI, then substitute the carrots with red peppers and use the celery root.

Go ahead and make it your way. Try to use the herbs fresh for it will give you more of a clean fresh flavour.

Stuffed Peppers Hamburger Recipe

Stuffed Peppers Hamburger Recipe

This recipe is from something that  your Grandmother would make and serve to their Family  with all the fixings that make it just a perfect compact meal. I like to make a nice fresh salad to go with it with some light tasting  oil like olive oil  with a sprinkle of some herbs. It really goes with really any kind of side dish for the  natural flavor of the stuffed peepers  really enhance the  taste buds.

Let me know how yours turned out.  

****************************************************************************************************

Recipe; 

2 Med. - bell peppers any color
1/2 Lb. - Ground beef
1 Sm. - Onion
2 Cloves - Garlic
1 Cup - Cooked rice
1/4 Cup - Ketchup
1 Med.- Tomato
2 Tbsp. - Olive oil
1/2 to 1 Tsp. - Oregano
1/2 to 1 Tsp. - Paprika
1/2 Tsp. - Maggie or HP sauce

Salt and Pepper to taste. 


Options; 
- Chilli peppers or sauce to taste.
- Tomato sauce for bottom of dish

****************************************************************************************************

Usually you just cut out the tops and fill the pepper with your rice mixture and that is fine, but I find it is easier to handle on the plate when there are down lying down. It really does not matter for it will turn out just awesome every time. 

I like to use a medium ground beef for I like the extra taste because it has a pit more fat. Now if you are watching your weight then I would go towards a more leaner meat. 

In this recipe I added a fresh tomato and I did not drain it because I want the tomato juice to be incorporated into the rice for a more full flavour.  

It's always good to have some extra sauce to add to the peppers when you serve it. So a fast way to do it is to just add a bit of water and with ketchup. Now if you do not like this method, then you can add some tomato sauce and add whatever you would like to make it your way. 

Now I made two stuffed peppers here or 2 halves for it's only for my Girlfriend and I, but this size dish would five  upright  peppers or  6 halfs.

I hope you will enjoy the recipe.

Spinach Puff Pastry Casserole - Awesome

Spinach  Puff Pastry  Casserole  -  Awesome

I have to say that I really enjoyed making this dish. The spinach mixed with the cheese gives it just an awesome taste to it and Popeye would be proud.

There is really nothing I can say more about this for it is so simple and easy that anyone can make it with the minimum of work,  just try it.

Try it and let me know how yours turned out…   

*******************************************************************************************************

Recipe; 

1 package of pre-ready  puff pastry

1 Bag -  Fresh or frozen spinach
1/2 Cup - Diced onion
1 Cup - Goat cheese
1 Egg - Stirred
1/4 to 1/3 Cup - Fresh parsley
1/4 to 1/3 Cup - Fresh dill
1 Tbsp. - Olive oil
1/3 Tsp. - Nut meg
1/3  Tsp. - Sweet paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Options;
Any other type of cheese
Hot paprika

*******************************************************************************************************

You can use fresh or frozen spinach, but remember to drain them well for too much water will make the pastry very soggy. 

Now with the fresh spinach you have to first blanch it first for a couple of minutes until the leaves go withered. 

I like goat cheese for it's texture and full flavour, but you can add really any type of cheese you like. As long as it blends in well and has a good melting point, I would go for it.  

I like to use the pre-made puff pastry for it really saves me a lot of work so I 

can concentrate more on other things. 

For this size of casserole I had to cut it up into section to fit better.  So use them and cut them according to your size of dish.    

Now my pastry dough here is the thicker type to I need to add only one layer, but if they are more of the thin type like the Greek ones, then you have to add multi layers, but keep brushing olive oil in between them.  

Depending on how much you want to use, will depend on the size of your casserole dish. Thats why I like this dish because it is very easy to make and it goes with any style and any size you want with ease.

10 Reasons Why Jogging Is Good For You.

10 Reasons Why Jogging Is Good For You.

1 -  A fast weight loss

By doing a regular jogging program for at least 2 to three times, a week combined with a diet eating program will give you the fastest weight reduction. Let’s say that you are around the 65 to 75 Kg. range and when you start, you feel that you are just wobbling around, out of breath when jogging, but you managed to get to finish a Kilometer.  Well then, that would be about 300 or so calories that you have lost per kilometer, even if you think that you did not accomplish much.  In fact, in a Month with two jogs a week would  give you an approximately 2,400 calories gone.  Now that is a weight lost with just a minimum of an exercise plan.

2 - Reduce the risk of a heart attack

Jogging is an aerobic exercise and thus helps and improves your body’s ability to deliver oxygen to your muscles. Very simply, the more you exercise the better you heart works and reduces the factors of a heart attack. Also, every part of you becomes more efficient in the blood flow of your cardiovascular system, blood pressure control, more  energy and give you an all round feeling of well being.

3 - Increase of good HDL cholesterol

HDL cholesterol works like a cleaner picking up bad LDL cholesterol from your blood and removes it to your liver to be excreted from your body. Excess Ldl can be dangerous to your cardiovascular system by causing built-up and blocks or can restrict blood flow to your heart and can cause a heart attack. HDL cholesterol can be boosted   By improving your fitness levels by just a few workout a week.

4 - Builds strong and healthy bones

When you put your bones under stress like jogging it cause’s a weight-bearing reaction on your bone system,  so, in turn,  your body response’s  back by increasing your bone mineral density that makes your bones much more strong and resilient.  This makes them  less likely to break and reduces the chances of getting osteoporosis.

5 -  Prevents diabetes

A less active lifestyle is one of the risk factors for type-2 diabetes, as is the overweight person.  By jogging on a regular basis can help with both of these problems.

6 - Improve your immunity system

Your immunity system fights off bacteria and viruses from your body and the stronger it is the better it will work. Regular exercise helps stimulate the production of cells that fight off any ailments in your system. Also having a stronger system will also help prevent more serious illnesses   that are more life threatening from starting.

7 - It improves mental fitness

By doing regular cardiovascular exercises like jogging or any other physical activity  will lead to the release of more production of endorphins. These chemicals in the brain have the ability to produce a sense of happiness and the state of well-being.  Not to mention the ability to help reduce stress and improve your confidence and self-esteem.

8 -  Sleep like a baby

By jogging or doing a cardiovascular exercise can set you natural inner clock by putting you in a relaxed mood at night with a pleasurable feeling of  falling asleep and thus gives you a more deep sleep that makes you more awake and less tired in the morning and  for your daily routines.

Sushi The Simple Way - Easy And Fast

Sushi  The Simple Way - Easy And  Fast

I  see that everyone just loves  sushi, but when it comes to making it, I hear a lot of  “I cannot make it”, it looks to complicated. Well now,  there is no more reason not to try it, for in the video below  I show you how easy it is to make without all  the fuss and   you use just  things that you have around the house  or that is easy to find.

Go ahead  and try it, really what could go wrong, you could even surprise yourself. One thing I know is that your Family and Friends will just love you for it.

Please let me know how it turned out…

*************************************************************************************************************

Recipe;

1 Cup - Sushi rice 

1/4 Cup - White vinegar 

1/2 Tsp. - Sugar 

1/2 Tsp. - Salt 

Smoked salmon

Avocado

Cucumber 

Mayo 

Sesame seeds. 

Options; 

Sweet pepper

*************************************************************************************************************

Combine the vinegar, sugar, and salt and sprinkle it all around the rice while folding it. At this point you should be just flipping it, not stirring because the rice is very delicate at this stage and you do not want it to go mushy. 

If you want you can fan the rice in order to help the drying stage go faster, but for me I find that I can skip this process. Make sure that you allow the rice to dry off before you work with it. 

For this recipe I used  smoked salmon for it is easy and less complicated as the raw salmon. Also not everyone is into the raw thing, this makes things a little more easy. 

At first please do not make your Sushi complicated, just use your everyday things that you find around the house instead of hunting down all the other special  ingredients.   

Make sure that you knife is sharp, also to make it easier you should  be cleaning and wetting your knife on every few cuts. 

The size of the sushi  should bite size, but then everyone is different so adapt it to suit you and your Friends.

2 Tbsp. - Olive oil

1 Tbsp. - Veggie stock

100 Grams - Frozen Spinach 

2 to 2 1/2 Cups - Water

*************************************************************************************************************

Keep on the zucchini skins for that's where a lot of the vitamins are and it increases the fiber in the soup.  

Now on the video I used a low sodium veggie stock, but you can use really any stock of your choice. 

Also if you can take the heat add some chilli powder to help increase your metabolism to help further in the fat burning process.

McDonald Copycat Fries - Awesome

McDonald Copycat Fries

Aw !!  The classic  McDonald  fries, so good, so crispy  and  tender in the inside.  Now I know, I know that fries can be fattening and eating too much can give you some extra pounds where you do not want it.

So!!  Good news,  you can really eat fries and enjoy yourself  without the guilt and keep the weight off, if you just follow a few rules.  Take a moment and check my  Cookingaround   on  “Can I Eat Fattening Food Or Fast Food In Order To Lose Weight”, by clicking on the is link below.

I hope you really enjoy this recipe and let me know how it turned out. 

***************************************************************************************************************

Recipe;

Potatoes  best suitable for fries.

1/3 Cup sugar per  2 Lbs.

Salt and/or vinegar to taste.

Plenty of cooking oil.


***************************************************************************************************************

Choose a potato that is most suitable for making fries, remember that not all potatoes will give you that crisp crunch.  Here I 'am  using what they call a "new potato" in  Canada. 

If you have a question on the potato that would be best, then ask your Supermarket Clerk to help you in finding the best one. Also look for the lager ones and with a few knots as possible.

Most potato cutters will not cut them this thin, so, try it by the old fashion way.

Go ahead and cut them by hand "Like My Momma Taught  Me", remember that "practice, makes perfect.

Make sure that you use plenty of water in order to make the potato process more effective. Please make sure that the fries are not wet before it goes into the hot oil, for it could  pop back at you.
