Lemon Meringue Cookies Recipe

Lemon Meringue Cookies
3 egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
6 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp grated lemon zest


With electric mixer, beat whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar,
and beat on high speed until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar, 1
tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff and shiny peaks
form. Gently fold in lemon zest. Drop mixture by heaping tablespoons
onto 2 buttered and floured baking sheets. Bake in preheated 250
degree oven 1 hour. Turn off oven; do not open oven door. Leave
cookies undisturbed, in oven for 1 hour. Then transfer to wire racks
to cool completely. Store in a tightly covered container.

Note: Recipe can be doubled or tripled if you save egg whites in the
freezer, like I do; just defrost and bring to room temperature before
using. Like most meringue recipes, you need a low humidity day and
utensils that are free from any fat residue, to be successful. Any
citrus zest will work fine to vary the flavor. by Lori Longbotham,

Diet hints and tips

If your aim is to shed a few kilos and improve your general well-being, then, without doubt, you ought to eat a thoughtfully prepared healthy meal plan. Theoretically, this needs to incorporate 5 portions of fruit/vegetables daily and also take in the right mixture of nutrients.

In deciding on a meal plan, the most important step is to also make sure you moderate your consumption of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.

At the start of a diet, people often look at supermarket and big brand food items referred to as 'low in fat'. To do this is far too often an error, in that an item could be reduced in fats, but also dangerously high in carbohydrates and calories.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. At times when going through a normal work day, you believe that you want food but actually you might simply want a cooling tumbler of water or juice. The feelings of hunger and needing a drink are much the same, but one of them results in a broken diet and one doesn't.

As an alternative to thinking about the many types of food you really should remove from your daily routine, focus on the nutritionally sound foods which you might want to bring into your diet. If you inject a few nutritious fruit & vegetables into your daily routine, you will discover that you feel more full and have a substantially reduced chance of falling prey to those damaging mid-day munchies.
