Heart-Shaped Shortbread Flavored With Cayenne
Karen Mintzias
1/2 lb Butter, unsalted at room temperature
8 tbsp Superfine sugar
3 cup All-purpose flour
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
Butter and sugar to line molds


Preheat the oven to 350 F.

With a wooden spoon or in an electric mixer, cream together the
butter and sugar until very smooth.

Sift the flour into the butter mixture and, using your fingers, work
all ingredients into a crumbly but very fine mixture. At this point,
add the cayenne pepper, or your choice of other flavorings.

Butter the molds and dust the bottom and sides with sugar. Press the
shortbread dough into the molds.

Bake until golden brown. The time varies from 10 minutes up,
depending on the size of the mold. Do not overbake. Cool on racks
before unmolding.

VARIATIONS: To make the more traditional shortbread, you can
substitute a few drops of vanilla extract, 1/4 cup minced candied
citron or lemon peel, or 2 tablespoons ground blanched almonds for
the cayenne pepper.

Diet hints and tips

If your aim is to become thin and make improvements in your all round well-being, then, as any doctor will tell you, you really should decide on a carefully designed healthy-minded meal plan. In a perfect world, this must include five standard portions of fruit & vegetables on a daily basis and also take in a sensible mix of carbohydrate, fat, and protein.

When chosing foods for dieting, people frequently direct your attention to food store and well known products professing to be 'low fat'. To do this is usually a miscalculation, seeing as how a food product may be reduced in fat content, but whilst still being much too high in carbohydrates.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Your body must have plain water , it is essential for our body's wellbeing and is blessed with calories and fat. It is also good in that it fills your empty stomach and helps decrease sensations of hunger. The recommended portions physicians allege that we should aim to drink at the minimum six cups of plain water each day.

Rather than thinking about the junk foods you really should leave out of your meal plan, look at the healthy foods that you are able to add to your weight loss program. If one can manage to introduce the recommended portions nourishing grains, cereals and vegetables into your meal plan, you will find that you feel full and have a much lower chance of giving in to those detrimental midday munchies.
