Cherry Almond Christmas Wreath
3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (3 1/2 to 4 cups)
3 tbsp sugar
1 package Fleischmann's. Active Dry or Rapid
Yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped red candied cherries
ALMOND FILLING
1/2 cup almond paste (5 ounces)
1 egg white
1/2 cup blanched almonds, toasted
ICING
1 cup confectioner's sugar
2 tbsp milk
1/4 tsp almond extract


In large bowl combine 3/4 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt.
Heat water, sour cream and butter until very warm (120: to 130:F).
Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of
electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg and 1/2 cup flour;
beat 2 minutes at high speed. With spoon, stir in enough remaining flour
to make soft dough.
Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6
minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in
warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. (With Rapid
Rise Yeast, cover kneaded dough; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.
Proceed with recipe.)
Prepare Almond Filling: Combine almond paste with 1 egg white. Beat with
fork until blended. Stir in chopped, blanched almonds, toasted.
Punch dough down. On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 9- W 16-inch
rectangle. Spread filling to within 1/2-inch of edges; sprinkle with
cherries. Roll up from long side as for jelly roll; pinch seam to seal.
Form into ring and pinch ends to seal. Place ring, seam side down, on
greased baking sheet. With sharp knife, cut slits, 3/4 through dough, at
1-inch intervals. Turn each section on its side. Cover; let rise in warm,
draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
Bake at 375:F for 25 minutes or until done. Remove from baking sheet; cool
on wire rack. Frost with Almond Icing.

Losing weight

If you want to regain your youthful figure and better your general healthfulness, then, as most people know, you ought to undertake a thoughtfully designed wholesome meal plan. At best, this must contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and also contain the right mixture of protein, carbs and fats.

When planning a diet, the most important step is to make efforts to decrease intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.

When chosing foods for dieting, dieters frequently look at retail store and brand name products described as 'low in fat'. This is ordinarily foolish, insofar as an item may well be moderate in fat content, but whilst still being dangerously high in carbs & calories.

Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Every now and then during a busy day, you consider that you want a snack but if truth be told you may just want a pure tumbler of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of being thirsty and being hungry are close, albeit one leads to weight gain and one does not.

Rather than dwelling on the many food types you need to ban from your meal plan, direct your attention to the "good" foods that you can add to your meal plan. If you manage to introduce some healthy fruit and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon find that you feel more full and have a far reduced risk of being seduced by those unwholesome afternoon nibbles.
