			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Healthy Recipes</h1>
<p><a href="http://asicilianfeast.com"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-364" title="asicilianfeast.com" src="http://asicilianfeast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/salad.jpg" alt="recipes"width="145" height="116" /></a>If you are like a lot of us, you know that you should be eating healthier. However, making a positive change in your eating habits doesn&#8217;t mean that you can&#8217;t make your favorite <b>recipes</b> anymore.. Through the introduction of various new as well as beneficial trends of cooking classic foods, there is now no need of modification of your tastes and your <i>recipes</i>. It doesn&#8217;t matter why you are changing your eating habits- for your health or your appearance- making changes doesn&#8217;t mean giving up all your favorite foods. A few minor changes made with the following suggestions in your regular dishes may prove wonders.<span id="more-358"></span></p>
<p>-Reduce the amount of sugar you use. If baked dishes are an integral part of your menu in that case put only half or a lesser amount of than   of the sugar you really use.Nearly all of the times, the resulting dish would be as delicious the actual one but containing not as much of calorific contents.These days, a variety of sugar substitutes are available with zero-calorie contents that can be easily included instead of high in calories sugar.</p>
<p>-Another suggestion for regular bakers who prepare an assortment of cakes as well as cookies. Replace about half the amount of white flour with whole wheat flour. You can experiment with other blends, like buckwheat or rye, to see how they work with the flavor of the recipe. To start with, it is recommended to substitute the white flour along with one-quarter of the other flour and subsequently increase the amount gradually to observe how it tastes.</p>
<h2>-In some of the sweetest and richest recipes, like chocolate cakes and brownies, you can keep much of the moistness and flavor by replacing them with almond flour.</h2>
<p>Start by replacing one-quarter of the amount of flour in your recipe for a greatly reduced calorie count.</p>
<h3>-Even the most healthy recipes aren&#8217;t so good for you if you don&#8217;t practice portion control.</h3>
<p>For instance, if you are a cake lover then try to consume only a small piece of it. Likewise, eat single chocolate chip cookie instead of having two.It is every time worthy to eat slowly if you really want to relish the flavor of the dish.</p>
<p>-Try making more fruit and vegetable <u>recipes</u>. No matter what is the ingredient, make an effort to take pleasure in the recipe by making it healthier.If you like burgers or pizza, add more veggies.Add a salad to every meal, and have fruit for dessert instead.There&#8217;s nothing wrong with the occasional treat, but moderation is key.</p>
<p>-Don&#8217;t be afraid to experiment with new recipes. Try to try for innovative and nourishing recipes on the web or in various fitness cookbooks to get some novel ideas.Don&#8217;t look at it as a big sacrifice- look at it as a way to get healthier and learn some new ways to cook.</p>
<p>-Why not indulge yourself by buying a new cookbook or cooking magazine, perhaps from one of your favorite celebrity chefs? Of course, there&#8217;s always plenty of cook books available in your local library, to give you plenty of inspiration. Cooking should be fun, so remember to enjoy cooking and experimenting!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Biryani is a rice based food that includes meat or vegetables as the main ingredient. Plenty of herbs and spices go into making Biryani and the meat and veggies are layered and cooked. Biryani in Persian means cooking and roasting and the word Biryani springs from the same.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[I:http://asicilianfeast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/ManjulaNaik12.jpg]<b>Biryani</b> is a dish that is prepared using Meat and Rice, layered and prepared together with some spices&#8230; It is derived from the Persian word &#8216;Birian&#8217; which implies roasting before cooking.</p>
<p><i>Biryani</i> stemmed from Persia and the legend states that that the tribals and nomads carried a lot of rice and meat on their extended journeys and they started the culture of layering rice and meat and cooking together after sprinkling plenty of nuts and dry herbs. The conventional approach consisted of cooking and simmering the combination under fire and then burying it under sand for a long time before the dish was deemed ready. The traditional form of <u>Biryani</u> has since then been improvised and modernized according to convenience</p>
<p>Nowadays there are plenty of forms of Biryani prepared using a lot of diverse cooking styles. There are probably more than a hundred varieties of Biryani prepared using various combinations of meat and vegetables.</p>
<p>Biryani has meat and rice as its necessary ingredients. The rest of the ingredients, vary based on the type and style of the Biryani being prepared.</p>
<p>Hyderabad in India is considered as the Biryani capital of the world. There are fascinating types of Biryanis prepared here at different diners. Some of those recipes are intimately protected by families and restaurants, as they have been handed down through quite a few generations. The Mughals brought Biryani with them when they invaded India. It is one of the many influences that came to India with the Mughals and became very well-liked here and with time have further evolved. It also took on some local flavors to suit the spice loving Indians.</p>
<p>A tasty Biryani consists of well cooked meat and the right blend of spices and herbs, baked together with rice. The meat and rice is never mixed whilst cooking. They are both cooked separately. The last stage of the cooking consists of layering the two alternatively and usually cooked either in an oven or on traditional wood fire, using low heat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Cooking-Up Family Memories</h1>
<h2><a href="http://asicilianfeast.com"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-324" title="asicilianfeast.com" src="http://asicilianfeast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/familymeal.jpg" alt="Memories"width="123" height="94" /></a>The kitchen is the perfect place for making memories.</h2>
<p>When you spend time baking, cooking and enjoying meals with your family, you create happy <b>memories</b> you and your children will cherish forever.<span id="more-317"></span></p>
<p>The benefits of preparing and enjoying food as a family are clear. You save money and eat healthier meals. You create opportunities to connect and communicate with your children and spouse. And most importantly, you show love for your family when you spend time cooking and eating with them. Children of all ages need your attention and your time. By working together to create a meal or bake a batch of cookies, you spend valuable time together.</p>
<h3>So, here are 10 steps to get your family cooking up memories.</h3>
<p>Step 1: Teach small children the fun of cooking by helping them bake cookies and cakes. If you are short on time, you can use a boxed cookie mix and spend more time decorating.</p>
<p>Step 2: Encourage the littlest ones to play pretend cooking. Kids love to play with real mixing bowls, strainers and wooden spoons. These make harmless toys and can be easily thrown in the dishwasher for quick cleanup.</p>
<p>Step 3: If you live by your day-timer, schedule in baking cookies with your kids. Our schedules can be so hectic that something as simple as baking a batch of chocolate chip cookies can get skipped over. Write it down and do it.</p>
<p>Step 4: If you have teenagers, let them play their favorite music while they wash the lettuce and set the table.</p>
<p>Step 5: Work together with your spouse to prepare the dinner and use the time to catch up on each other&#8217;s day.</p>
<p>Step 6: Even if you are in a rush preparing dinner, remember to reduce your stress and focus on creating a fun atmosphere that naturally encourages the whole family to participate.</p>
<p>Step 7: When spending time preparing food with your children, include lessons about healthy eating choices. Keep the conversation positive and avoid listing foods they can&#8217;t have.</p>
<p>Step 8: On days where you anticipate time will be tight, consider taking a short cut by using a frozen stir-fry mix or pasta with a jar of pre-made sauce. Your family will appreciate your relaxed mood much more than a made-from-scratch dinner.</p>
<p>Step 9: Share the job of grocery shopping. One week have mom take one of the children as a helper, the next week dad can go with another child. Always work from a grocery list and let your children help you retrieve items and cross them off the list.</p>
<p>Step 10: Have big family meals where you share about your day. Keep the conversation fun and avoid negative lectures over dinner. Remember to laugh.</p>
<p>Take these steps today and make your kitchen a fun and memorable place for your whole family.</p>
