Peter Pan Donuts - Greenpoint

post from Dine or Death on 27 March 2012 08:22:56 PM. © Dine or Death

Probably my favorite breakfast place right now: it's a small diner and bakery that specializes in bagels, donuts and breakfast sandwiches. A coffee, a donut and a bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel will run you $6--and it's a lot of food. I'm not a fan of[...]

Dandelion Greens a Springtime Favorite!

post from Gourmet Heartbeat Blog on 27 March 2012 06:20:04 PM. © Gourmet Heartbeat Blog

Ah, spring! The time of year when dandelions begin growing and thriving. Gardeners may not like this, but those of us who enjoy eating dandelion greens sure do. While upscale markets and health food stores may sell dandelion greens, most of us can pluck them right from our yard. Stick around to learn why and Read More...

Dara-Lynn Weiss Got A Book Deal For Fat-Shaming
Her Daughter In Vogue

post from Blisstree » EAT on 27 March 2012 06:11:58 PM. © Blisstree » EAT

As I've said before, I really wanted to like Dara-Lynn Weiss for opening up about the extremely difficult and somewhat taboo situation of helping an obese daughter lose weight. But as it worked out, she mostly ended up fat-shaming her daughter?both in the way she forced her to diet and in the course of publishing the sordid details in Vogue. The article got plenty of backlash, but, as was announced yesterday, it also got her a book deal with Random House. As an editor and writer, I'm all too familiar with the pressure to exploit controversial personal stories for attention, but exploiting a young girl's body (and body image) crosses a line. More »

Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

post from A Tasty Thought by JG on 27 March 2012 05:18:00 PM. © A Tasty Thought by JG

Best we not blink! Every time we do, our weather changes! After enjoying grilled seafood almost every evening last week, I now welcome the heat from my oven while preparing dinner. This is great timing to bake/freeze special treats for Easter! Our temps are no longer in the low 80°F's!

Sour Cream Sugar Cookies with a hint of Nutmeg are delicious! I prefer to use unsalted Butter, but Margarine may also be used. However, I find that the dough made with butter is much easier to work with. The soft, light, tasty cookies are made in a 2 step process. On Day One prep the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap and then in foil. It needs to be chilled overnight. On Day 2 locate your fave holiday cookie cutters and rolling pin. Yes, colored sugars, too.

Sour Cream Sugar Cookies - printable recipe card

Oven: 375°F
Yield: About 5 dozen cookies, depending on size

Ingredients:
4 Cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 Cup unsalted Butter, softened
1 and 1/2 Cups Sugar
1 Egg
1/2 Cup Sour Cream (can be Fat Free)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Colored Sugars for Decorating

Method:

Day 1-

In large bowl with electric mixer beat Butter and Sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Egg, beat.
Add in Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Salt and Nutmeg.
While beating on Low, slowly add Flour, 1 Cup at a time.
Add in Vanilla and Sour Cream. Beat on Medium until well combined. Dough will be stiff.
Remove dough from bowl and place on plastic wrap, wrap dough.
Place wrapped dough on aluminum foil and wrap well.
Refrigerate overnight.

Day 2-

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Unwrap dough and cut into four parts.
On well floured surface, roll dough to 1/4" thickness. Use cookie cutters.
Place cookies on pan/sheet 1" apart. (Maybe 12 cookies to a sheet.)
Sprinkle with colored sugars.
Bake 10 - 11 Minutes in 375°F oven. Bottom of cookies will be a light golden brown.
Remove with spatula to wire cooling racks.
When cool store in airtight containers.

**These cookies also freeze very well. After cooling I stack them in Ziploc Freezer Bags and into the freezer they go!

***Any leftover dough make for very special "Initial Cookies"! Ropes are made from the leftover dough. The first letter of each family member's name is shaped and placed on the cookie sheet. Each letter is 2"-3". Usually this cookie is saved - to be eaten last. :)

If you are looking for a special dessert to please everyone in your family - bake these Sour Cream Sugar Cookies! They are soft, light and scrumptious!

Enjoy!
Yummy!

Chocolate Makes You SlimLike Ergonomic Chairs
Make You Fit

post from Blisstree » EAT on 27 March 2012 03:35:57 PM. © Blisstree » EAT

Nearly every health website is proudly sharing a new study "that chocoholics will love," wherein researchers found that chocolate eaters have a lower BMI compared to those who don't indulge in it regularly. Headlines range from "Chocolate May Help You Stay Slim" to "Eating Lots of Chocolate Helps People Stay Thin"?which is misleading in itself: Though study authors found a correlation between weight and the frequency of chocolate eating, there's absolutely no reason to think that chocolate is a miracle weight loss drug.
