 Just
because a recipe calls for a specific ingredient doesn't
mean you must use that ingredient. Your favorite recipes
can be modified to make them more nutritious or lower in
fat by reducing or substituting ingredients that are
more acceptable. Learn more at, Preparing Healthy Food

 Transforming
your lower back from a weak link into a strong link in
the kinetic chain of your body is not difficult, but it
does require a disciplined effort. The first thing you
need to do is perform all your lifts with correct
posture from this day forward . In addition, you need to
do some remedial exercises that will strengthen the
lumbar-spine area and return it to its natural
alignment.

Hope as Motivation
 Hope
is a longing, a desire, or an expectation of
fulfillment. It can be passive or intensely active. It
can be for evil or for good. It is vitally important
that we have the right hope. Hope influences us either
to take or not to take certain actions, depending upon
what we hope for. We will generally do all that we can
to make sure that what we hope for happens the way that
we foresee it happening. If we hope something does not
happen, we generally do what we can to see that it does
not happen.
Hope motivates us to move in a certain direction and to
do certain things.
Hope for good health for self and your family in 2015,
for that will help you do the needful to achieve the
goal.

Ingredients:
-
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
-
1/2 tsp. baking soda
-
1 ¼ tsp ground ginger
-
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
-
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
-
1/4 tsp. salt
-
1/3 cup dairy-free buttery shortening sticks
-
1/2 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
-
2 Tbsp. unsulphured molasses
-
1 large egg white
-
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
-
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
|
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In mixing bowl, whisk together both flours,
baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, pepper and salt.
-
In another bowl, use electric mixer on
medium-high speed to beat non-dairy shortening
sticks with 1/2 cup of the sugar for 2 minutes.
Add molasses and egg white and beat for 3
minutes. Set mixer on low speed and mix in dry
ingredients just to combine – leaving white
streaks is better than over-mixing. Batter will
form soft ball.
-
Place remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in wide,
shallow bowl. Pinch off about 1 tablespoon
batter and roll it between your palms, forming
1-inch ball. Place ball in bowl with sugar and
roll to coat it, and then place on
light-colored, ungreased baking sheet. Discard
leftover sugar. Repeat, spacing balls 2-inches
apart. Using back of a glass, press to flatten
each ball into 1 ⅓-inch disk.
-
Bake cookies for 10 minutes. While cookies bake,
for glaze, in small bowl, combine confectioners'
sugar with lemon juice, mixing until sugar is
completely dissolved.
-
When cookies are done, immediately use spatula
to transfer to wire cooling racks. Using tip of
a knife, spread 1/4 teaspoon glaze on top of
each warm cookie. Cool completely. Store in
cookie tin for up to 1 week.
