1 Pkg Fillo Sheets

3 c Sugar, white granulated
1/2 ts Ground Cloves
1 ts Ground Cinnamon or
1/4 ts Ground and 1 Stick Cinnamon

Pastry Brush


1. Chop walnuts to medium fine and mix with 1 cup
sugar, 1/4 Teaspoon ground Cinnamon and 1/4 Teaspoon
ground Cloves. 2. Melt Butter. 3. Cut Fillo in half so
that each sheet fits the bottom of the Baking Pan. 4.
Generously butter the bottom and sides of the baking
pan and place the Fillo, one sheet ata a time, in the
baking pan. Generously spread butter on each sheet of
fillo as it is placed in the pan. Every 6 to 8 sheets
of Fillo sp[read a layer of walnut mix. Continue
layering Fillo sheets and walnuts until Fillo is
complete. Pour any remaining butter over top of the
Baklava. The secret to good flaky Baklava is to have
each sheet of Fillo well buttered so that the sheets
do not stick together. 5. With a sharp knife, cut the
Baklava diagonally to form diamond shaped pieces. 6.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake the Baklava for
40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove
from oven and allow to cool completely. 7. SYRUP Mix

cloves and either 3/4 teaspoons Cinnamon or the
Cinnamon stick in a sauce pan and bring to a bnoil.

(Turkish) sweet coffee and dried apricots for an
exquisite dessert.

Dieting tips

If you really want to get in shape and better your all round wellbeing, among other things you need to undertake a specially planned balanced meal plan. At best, this needs to incorporate 5 portions of grains and vegetables every day and incorporate the optimum mix of important nutrients.

When deciding on a diet, the important thing is to also attempt to decrease ingestion of fats, refined carbohydrates and salt.

At the start of a diet, people frequently direct your attention to chain store and branded foods described as 'low fat'. To do this is far too often a miscalculation, seeing as how a food may well be low in fats, but still contain excess carbohydrates and calories.

Drink plenty of water. Our bodies need water , it is important for our good health and is void of calories. Water also has the benefit that it fills the dieters stomach and helps decrease sensations of hunger. The recommended amount nutritionalists argue that a good target is to drink at the minimum 6 cups of plain water every 24 hours.

Rather than paying too much attention to the foods that you should leave out of your meal plan, direct your attention to the good foods that you are able to introduce to your meal plan. If one can manage to bring in a few beneficial grains, fruit and vegetables into your diet, you'll soon see that you feel more full and have a far decreased risk of being tempted by those detrimental afternoon chocolates.
