...brought to you by Recipes EU





Lemon-Lime Cookies
8 oz Unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cup Sugar
2 tbsp Minced lemon zest
2 tbsp Minced lime zest
1/4 tsp Salt
4 Egg yolks
3 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp Fresh lime juice
3 cup Unbleached all-purpose flour
- (approximately)


These are nicely crisp and are very good with a fruit-based dessert.

In a bowl, preferably of an electric stand mixer, cream together the
butter, 1 cup of the sugar, the lemon and lime zests, and salt. One
at a time beat in the egg yolks; stir in the lemon and lime juices.
Add 2 1/2 cups of the flour and mix until just combined. Transfer the
dough to a container and chill it for at least 2 hours. (The dough
can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and refrierated or frozen for up
to 1 month. Defrost the frozen dough in the refrigerator before
using.) Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and
preheat the oven to 375F. Grease several baking sheets. Working in
batches, by rounded tablespoonfuls, measure out the chilled dough and
form it into 1-inch balls. Place the balls of dough on the baking
sheets, spacing them well apart. Use the remaining flour to coat the
flat bottom of a glass or measuring cup. Flatten the balls into
2-inch rounds about 1/4-inch thic, reflouring the glass a necessary.
Bake the cookies, exchanging the position of the sheets on the racks
from top to bottom and from front to back, for about 10 minutes or
until the cookies are crisp and the edges and bottoms are lightly
colored. With a spatula, transfer the cookies immediately to
parchement paper and sprinkle with generously with the remaining 1/2
cup of sugar. (The cookies can be baked 1 day ahead and stored in an
airtight container.)

Losing weight

If you enjoy your food, but want to get in shape and make improvements in your all round condition, then, as any doctor will tell you, you need to undertake a specially designed wholesome meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables a day and also include an appropriate mix of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

When planning a diet, it is essential to try to moderate your intake of fat, refined carbohydrates and salt.

When starting a weight loss program, people ordinarily focus on retail store and big brand foods labelled as 'low in fat'. To do this is most certainly a mistake, in that an item can be reduced in fats, but also high in carbs.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Occasionally during a normal work day, you imagine that you feel hunger when in fact you may need a healthy drink of water or orange juice. The feelings of being hungry and being thirsty are much the same, but one of them can result in weight gain and the other one is fine.

Rather than dwelling on the junk foods you ought to remove from your daily routine, look at the good foods which you should add to your meal plan. If you are able to inject some wholesome grains and vegetables into your meal plan, you'll soon find that you feel more satisfied and have a far reduced likelihood of giving in to those damaging mid-morning chocolates.
