Christmas Angel Cookies
1/2 cup Shortening
1/2 cup Cream cheese, softened
1 cup Light brown sugar,*
1/2 cup Granulated sugar
2 Eggs
3 cup Flour
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Vanilla
2 cup Candied fruit, mixed
2 cup Broken pecans or almonds


* firmly packed

The cream cheese gives these cookies a smooth texture, while the
fruits sparkle and sweeten the flavor. Nice for using the candied
fruits that didn't make it into the fruit cake.

Preheat oven to 350ø.

In a large bowl, cream shortening and cream cheese until smooth and
fluffy. Add sugars and eggs, mixing well. In a seperate bowl, sift
flour, baking soda and salt together.

Add flour mixture to egg and sugar mixture; add vanilla. Mix well.
Add candied fruit and nuts.

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto lightly oiled cookie sheet and bake
at 350ø for about 10-12 minutes. The cookies will be just browned at
the edges.

Hint: You may have to mix candied fruit and nuts in with your hands; a
little shortening on your fingers will keep the mixture from sticking.

Yield: 3 dozen. Irene Holloway, Chevy Chase, MD

Advice on losing weight

If you enjoy eating, but want to regain your youthful figure and improve your overall physical condition, then you really should commence a thoughtfully configured balanced dietary regime. Theoretically, this should incorporate five standard portions of grains, cereals and vegetables on a daily basis and also embrace an appropriate fusion of fat, carbohydrates and protein.

When planning a dietary regime, it is important to also try to cut down your consumption of refined carbohydrate, fats and salt.

When people first start dieting, they often direct your attention to chain store and big brand food products known as 'low fat'. To do this is often foolish, given that a food product may well be low in fat content, but still contain excess calories.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Your body must have plain water , it is vital for our wellbeing and possesses zero calories and fat. It also has the benefit that it fills a dieter's stomach and reduces feelings of hunger. The recommended amount researchers insist it is best to drink at least six cups of water every 24 hours.

Instead of dwelling on which foods that you should eliminate from your meal plan, direct your attention to the healthy foods which you should bring into your meal plan. If you insert the recommended amount nourishing fruit and vegetables into your meal plan, you will find that you feel full and have a substantially decreased likelihood of falling prey to those unwholesome mid-afternoon candies.
