Tuesday Entrees: Low Glycemic Index nutrition: Oatmeal Crepes | February 7, 2012

Tuesday Entrees: Low Glycemic Index nutrition: Oatmeal Crepes

There are so many new crepe shops opening but instead of spending why not making your own? Here is a healthy recipe for oatmeal crepes provided with nutrition facts by Dr. Irina Koles.

These oatmeal crepes use Oatmeal flour instead of usual white wheat flour. Oatmeal flour has a medium Glycemic Index of 40, while the Glycemic Index of white wheat flour is 85, which considered as high. Since crepes contain carbohydrates, you shouldn’t eat them with fat included products, such as butter, sour cream or whipped cream. Such high Glycemic Index carbohydrates as honey, maple (or any other) syrup or … Read More »

Sweet and Savory Cranberry Gorgonzola Scones | January 27, 2012

Sweet and Savory Cranberry Gorgonzola Scones

Scones are one of the easiest baking projects—and as long as you follow a few basic rules of scone making, you should always have tender tasty scones!

Use cold (or frozen) butter, and cold liquid

Handle the dough minimally—if you overwork or over knead the dough, your result will be scones that resemble stones!

Bake in a completely preheated, hot oven (usually 400-425 degrees)—and test for done-ness 2-3 minutes before the recommended baking time.  It is always easier to add time than to subtract time!

The following scone begins with a good, basic plain scone recipe. The addition of Gorgonzola cheese and cranberries produces … Read More »

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU! START EATING BREAKFAST | January 26, 2011

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU! START EATING BREAKFAST

By Joyce Daoust, CN

My #1 recommendation for an overall healthier you this year is to always start your day by eating a high-quality, fat-burning breakfast.  A breakfast that contains 200-300 calories with a 40-30-30 ratio of carbohydrate, protein and fat is a powerful choice you can make daily to improve mental focus and energy and stabilize key hormones responsible for burning stored body fat for fuel all morning long.

So what should you eat?  Below are four of my favorite breakfast recommendations:

Cottage Cheese & Fruit

1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese

1 small apple

4-5 almonds

Eggs & Fruit

Scrambled eggs … Read More »

Oo La La Crepes! | December 11, 2009

Oo La La Crepes!

Making crepes is a fun and delicious way to spark your creativity! I really love this recipe because of the infusion of ONO Creme Earl Grey. Earl Grey is typically a black tea flavored with Bergamot, a small and citrus fruit grown mainly in Calabria, Italy. ONO Creme Earl Grey is a smooth and elegant combination of classic Earl Grey and cornflower petals. With vanilla overtones and soft hints of cream, this premium blend makes a delightfully bold and uplifting tea with a satisfying finish. With the addition of Grand Marnier and cognac, this dessert is sure to please all your … Read More »

Breakfast In Bed | January 1, 2009

Breakfast In Bed

Though a joyful time of year on many levels, the few days preceding Christmas inevitably prove to be harried and exhausting times for many parents.  True to form, I personally spent the three days leading up to Christmas Eve doing last minute shopping until the mall closed at midnight only to return home wired; then baking and wrapping gifts until 2 or 3 in the morning.  Christmas Eve was spent cooking and serving dinner with a mad rush afterward to an annual Holiday party.  Santa made his appearance to the delight of all, and we rolled back down the … Read More »
