January 2008


Trick or treat, time to bake up something sweet: Our spooky skeleton, spider, and black cat cupcakes are so deliciously adorable it's frightening! And with these step-by-step instructions, they're just as fun to make, too.
These adorable snowmen are all the sweeter decorated with a variety of chocolate called confectionary coating, which is available at specialty baking stores in an assortment of colors.
Concoct a thirst quencher with just three secret ingredients: yogurt, juice, and soda.
Add some extra color to this chocolate, walnut, and marshmallow candy by using colored marshmallows.
Deep, rich chocolate and creamy coconut centers combine for a mouth-watering treat.
Carb Choices: 2 Mix and match the amounts of parsnips, turnips, rutabagas, and carrots until you find the blend you like best.
Carb choices: 1.5 Flaxseeds are a nutritious addition to this nutty cereal because they're rich in nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids. Look for them at health or natural food stores or larger supermarkets.
Carb choices: 2 Folding beaten egg whites into the batter is the secret to these light-as-a-feather pancakes.
Carb choices: 1.5 Low in saturated fat and high in cholesterol-lowering monounsaturated fat and omega-3 fatty acids, canola oil is a sensible choice for diabetic cooking.
Carb choices: 2 Add a touch of color to this Asian medley by using a mixture or red, green, and yellow sweet pepper strips instead of just red.
