Strawberry Mousse In A Shortbread Crust
The Crust
1/2 cup butter, (1 stick)
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose
The Filling
1 qt fresh strawberries
2 tbsp lemon juice
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 package unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup water
2 cup whipping cream


For The Crust: Cream butter and confectioners' sugar till smooth. Work in
flour with a fork, stirring to make a smooth dough. Pat dough into the
bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, and prick all over with a fork. Bake at
350F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 300F and bake 20 to 25 minutes
longer, until golden. Let cool completely.

For The Filling: Puree 1 1/2 pints of the strawberries, reserving the
remainder for garnish. You should have about 2 cups of puree. Blend lemon
juice and granulated sugar into puree. Soften 2 packages unflavored
gelatin
in 1/4 cup water; warm over low heat till gelatin dissolves. Stir
dissolved
gelatin into berry puree, and chill until mixture begins to thicken. Whip
the 2 cups of cream till stiff; fold into berry mixture. Pour over
shortbread crust. Halve the remaining strawberries and arrange them, cut
side down, around the edge of the mousse. Chill in refrigerator till set.
Serves 8

Just A Hint...
There are many shortcuts you can take when following a recipe. But when it
comes to using unflavored gelatin, be sure to follow directions exactly.
Gelatin won't work unless it's dissolved properly, and the best way to
insure this happening is to do what the recipe says: soaking the gelatin
in
cold water to soften, then heating the mixture till gelatin dissolves.
Don't
think you can just stir gelatin into cold water and have it dissolve like
a
powdered drink mix; it won't work, and whatever you add it to won't jell.
Don't try to jell anything with fresh or frozen pineapple among its
ingredients (canned pineapple is OK); pineapple has a substance which
inhibits jelling.

Weight loss hints and tips

If you enjoy your food, but want to shed a few kilos and also boost your overall healthfulness, without doubt you ought to decide on a thoughtfully calculated healthy-minded meal plan. In theory, this must contain five measures of fruit & veg every day and incorporate the correct mix of protein, carbs and fats.

When planning a meal plan, the important thing is to make sure you cut back on your consumption of refined carbohydrate, salt and fats.

When selecting food, dieters far too often direct your attention to supermarket and brand name food products described as 'low in fat'. This is ordinarily an error, for a food product could be moderate in fats, but whilst still remaining far too high in calories.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Sometimes during a normal afternoon, you believe that you are peckish when in reality you only need a healthy tumbler of water or orange juice. The feelings of hunger and needing a drink are somewhat similar, but one can lead to bad health and the other one leads to no harm.

Rather than thinking about the many unhealthy foods that you really should eliminate from your weight loss program, look at the recommended foods which you can introduce to your meal plan. If you bring in the recommended portions beneficial grains, fruit and vegetables into your daily routine, you will discover that you feel full and have a far reduced chance of being seduced by those damaging midday candies.
