Valentine Meringue Hearts
3 Egg whites
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 tsp Cream of tartar
1 d Salt
1 cup Sugar
Red food coloring
1 qt Vanilla ice cream
1 pt Strawberries, sliced


Recipe by: Jo Anne Merrill Preparation Time: 2:00
Cut a heart pattern from a 4-1/2 inch square of paper. Cover
baking sheet with brown paper. (You can bake on the brown paper so
make sure it is clean.) Grocery store bags without writing on them
are okay. Draw 6 hearts on the brown paper using your pattern as a
guide.

1. Beat egg whites with vanilla, cream of tartar and salt until
frothy. Add sugar, a little at a time, and continue beating until
stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Rub a bit between your
figures to feel that no sugar remains undissolved. Add food coloring,
a few drops to make a delicate pink color.
2. Spread meringue over the heart shapes, 1/4 inch thick. Make
into the heart shape using a spoon to push and form into correct
shape. Pipe rim 3/4 inch high with pastry tube.
3. Bake in preheated 275-degree oven for 1 hour. Turn off oven
and let meringues dry in oven for 1 more hour. DO NOT open oven door
during this time.
4. Fill the cooled meringues with scoops of ice cream and top
with strawberries. Decorate with mint leaves if desired.

Dieting tips

If you really want to shed a few pounds and also develop your all round physical condition, then, as most people know, you need to undertake a carefully configured healthy-minded meal plan. At best, this needs to take in 5 helpings of grains, cereals and vegetables per day and require the right blend of fat, carbohydrates and proteins.

When devising a daily routine, the most important step is to endeavour to regulate your intake of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.

When chosing foods for dieting, dieters frequently concentrate on supermarket and big brand food products claiming to be 'low fat'. To do this is ordinarily incorrect, since a food product may be significantly reduced in fats, but whilst still being far too high in carbohydrates.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Sometimes during a busy morning, you fancy that you need a snack but in reality you may just want a cooling glass of water or orange juice. The sensations of hunger and thirst are quite alike, albeit one of the two can result in a fat tummy and the alternative leads to no harm.

Instead of paying too much attention to the many types of food you need to ban from your meal plan, look at the sensible foods that you should introduce to your daily routine. If you can insert a few wholesome grains, cereals and vegetables into your weight loss program, you'll discover that you feel full and have a substantially reduced risk of being tempted by those unhealthy mid-afternoon biscuits.
