<h2>
KISRA Cooking Series</h2>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The cooking series at KISRA started off with lots of fun
and excitement. Our menu included
collard greens, honey crunch chicken and creamy applesauce pudding.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
What I think was most exciting was being able to prepare
the most delicious collard greens with ham seasoning (which is not ham but a vegetarian-based
product that tastes like ham), by cooking the collard greens in this ham based
seasoning, and then after the greens were cooked and draining off the liquid,
adding a little bit of olive oil. Those
who wanted to add a little salt and pepper could, but the truth is the salt and
pepper was not needed. The collard
greens were an absolute hit!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I also want to always tell the truth, and I have to say
this was my first time in all of my life to ever eat collard greens and they
were fabulous. One of the reasons I
never ate collard greens is because according to tradition from a soul food
perspective, they are always cooked in a ham hock, bacon grease or many pieces
of bacon. For that reason I have always
avoided tasting the vegetable. I believe
the same thing has been true for green beans, mustard greens, turnip greens and
kale, and while they are very healthy vegetables – dark green by nature and so
good for us – because of their accepted cooking method, I’ve always steered
clear. Well, that belief is over because
we introduced the way to make them in a healthy fashion.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Please try them – by the way the Ham Seasoning is
available at the Shape Shop – and if you’re reading this and are from outside
of Charleston – ham seasoning can be shipped directly to you. It is just an incredible product. Our chicken bouillon is quite dynamite too.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The honey crunch chicken, which is in the <i>Lean and Luscious</i> cookbook, is not only
easy to make but it calls for four ingredients and everyone in the cooking
class loved the end result. Our creamy
applesauce pudding dessert was equally stupendous and we made that first so it
could be refrigerated and add that cold finishing touch to a perfectly
delightful meal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
We’re doing great things with our <i>Lean and Luscious</i> recipes and the next cooking series class is Monday,
March 9 from 6-8:00 p.m. We’re going to
have an equally exciting meal and we’ll tell you about it in next week’s
post. If you have gotten your copy of
Lean and Luscious, it’s available on Amazon.com, the Shape Shop, Taylor Books, and
Kroger at Ashton Place – so the resources are many. Stop in and get your copy and the recipes
will speak for themselves.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The word “salad” doesn’t necessarily mean low in calories or fat. In fact, salads that are heavily-laden with creamy, oily dressings can contain more fat and calories than a piece of cake or pie. The following are 5 healthy tips for lowering the calories and fat in salads and salad dressings.</span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Dijon mustard adds a delicious spark to oil and vinegar dressings.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. When a recipe calls for sour cream, substitute with plain lowfat or nonfat yogurt.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Experiment with vinegar or lemon juice and different spices on a tossed salad.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. Read the labels carefully on bottled dressings. Many are high in saturated fat, calories, and sodium.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5. Make mayonnaise-type salads, such as coleslaw, a day ahead, using less mayonnaise than the recipe calls for. You’ll be amazed at how much liquid is drawn out of the vegetables while they marinate overnight.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1) Appetizers set the tone for the rest of the meal. They should be light and whet the appetite, rather than fill your guests up. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2) Try to keep the fat content as low as possible in your dips and spreads. Try using only lowfat and nonfat dairy products. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3) To add variety to any meal, serve several different vegetables and/or salads. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4) Fill the room with low-fat munchies instead of nuts and potato chips. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5) When serving vegetables, make large quantities rather than skimpy ones. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6) Accept compliments with a gracious “thank you” instead of “thank you, but can you tell it’s a diet recipe?” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">7) Water, served in a pretty glass with a twist of lemon, makes a good beverage choice. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">8) For an alcoholic beverage that is on the light side, try a wine spritzer. (Half white wine and half club soda with a twist of lemon or lime.) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">9) For a sweet after-dinner touch, serve a flavored coffee or non-dairy creamer. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Legumes are also known as “beans”. They are the fruits or seeds from pod-bearing plants. They are low in fat and contain no cholesterol. And, in addition, they are very inexpensive.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. To cook legumes, use 2 to 3 cups of water for each cup of beans.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. One cup of dried beans will yield about 3 cups of cooked beans.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Legumes provide iron, B vitamins, zinc, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. Legumes can be soaked in water overnight to reduce the cook time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5. Canned beans can be used in recipes calling for cooked beans.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6. When cooking beans or peas, always prepare extra for the freezer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">7. Legumes contain high levels of complex carbohydrates and are a good source of dietary fiber.</span>Millie Snyderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01663256066112111407noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675890269436647749.post-10499642085786020212013-12-10T06:30:00.000-06:002013-12-10T06:30:04.262-06:00Marzipan<div style="text-align: center;">
