Hi there people,
I thought I should post something here. I will be putting in some recipes (healthy food for the weight conscious out there) consisting of low carbs.
This recipe will be based on a recipe book I bought a few months ago and I am yet to share it with you.
No worries, if some of you are interested to have the book instead, stay tune real soon – I will let you know. Just a short update and to tell you all peeps that I am still very much alive… and you know what – I lose another 2 lbs from the last post I made. Hooray!!!
Remember, cut down your sugar intake!! it sure do helps – a lot! Reward yourself once a week, and eat moderately from day 1 – day 5 and lots of vegetables and fruits. Cut down on carb too! 
Strawberry Cups
Mar 30th
This is a good make-ahead company dessert and it’s a really beautiful color.
1 cup water
1 package (4 serving size) sugar free lemon gelatin
10 ounces frozen unsweetened strawberries, partly thawed
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Splenda if desired
1. Bring the water to a boil. Put the gelatin and boiling water in a blender and whirl for 1 to 15 seconds to dissolve the gelatin. Add the strawberries and whirl again, just long enough to blend in the berries.
2. Put the blender container in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or just until the mixture starts to thicken a bit.
3. Add 3/4 cup of the heavy cream and run the blender just long enough to mix it all in (10 to 15 seconds). Pour into 5 or 6 pretty little dessert cups and chilli. Whip the remaining 1/4 cup of cream with the vanilla and a teaspoon of Splenda (if using) to garnish.
Yield : About 5 servings, each with 6 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of fiber, for a total of 5 grams of usable carbs and 3 grams of protein.
