He will soon be appearing on Dr. Oz talking about this book. He proves through scientific research that the common knowledge of how to lose weight in America today is not exactly right. This book is very imformative and also easier to read than most nutrition or diet books because it flat out shows you what you need to know without out jumping around the point. I highly recommend this book and I'm sure it can give you a brand new look on nutrition and your daily diet. And for all those already low carb dieters you can tell all your friends "I told you so!"

The way Christy describes them, their taste and look, is exactly as I remember. Those cookies bring back such good childhood memories and with Christmas just around corner I'd love to make these again. The following is an excerpt from that recipe page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5-34GVQtR0Y/TT3-VqQjzTI/AAAAAAAAAJw/NDWmp-FnD08/s1600/southern+plate.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 212px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 249px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565884362574253362" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5-34GVQtR0Y/TT3-VqQjzTI/AAAAAAAAAJw/NDWmp-FnD08/s320/southern%2Bplate.bmp" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cookie Jar Christmas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Throughout my childhood, these were our must-have cookies for Christmas. Mama would make a huge batch so we all had plenty to decorate. She cut them in the shapes fo trees, stars, and reindeer, and each of us got our own sprinkles to go on top. They will be 'wet' right after icing and decorating; wait an hour or so and they will be dry enough to be stacked in a cookie jar. This cookie isn't very sweet on its own, which makes it altogether perfect once you add the icing. Mama always made three batches of icing for these cookies so she could have three different colors.

It's not the gross kind of shell that tastes like it was made out of cardboard either. It really does taste authentic! This also gives me away to make my family eat healthier without any drastic changes. Next time your watching someone enjoy a delicous taco don't give in because there's always another alternative.

Whether you spell it barbe'que' or barbe'cue' sauce, you know that it's one of the only things that takes barbeque from being bland to extraordinary. While the exact origin of barbeque sauce is not clear, we do know that most American barbeque sauces can trace their backgrounds to the South East. Slap dap in heart of the Bible Belt is the long history of producing mouth-watering barbeque sauce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 256px; float: right; height: 169px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494262940753816498" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5-34GVQtR0Y/TD-LCOY5a7I/AAAAAAAAAIc/ugq9Es8Wvgc/s320/pull.jpg" border="0" /&gt;So many different ingredients go into barbeque sauces, whether it be ketchup, cabbage, mayonnaise, vinegar or slaw that each state and region seems to have their own signature sauces. Eastern North Carolina has more of a vinegar base while the hilly area of western North Carolina uses tomato sauce to soften the sauce. A small area between Columbia and Charleston in South Carolina is known for it's yellow barbecue sauces made with yellow mustard.

Sweet tea is one of the most important traditions in the South and is consumed daily during almost every meal. Until now, living a low carb lifestyle and craving sweet tea did not coexist but now Southerners can rejoice! The invention of Splenda and other alternative sweeteners have saved the day once again! And since it's National "Iced" Tea Month, I'm going to share with you some great low carb sweet tea secrets and the products that I love to drink!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tips on Making Sweet Tea:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;-Don't put the tea straight in the refrigerator after you make it. Let it cool to room temperature and then put it in the fridge. Trust me. It tastes WAY better and it's not as cloudy looking.&lt;br /&gt;-Don't add ice to your tea while it's hot. Put ice in your cup and then pour the tea over it when you're ready to drink it .&lt;br /&gt;-A little lemon never hurt anyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My Favorite Low-Carb Tea Products:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;-&lt;a href="http://www.low-carb.com/bediicteasww.html"&gt;Have you ever been to the Beacon?

We originally embarked on this journey early last spring with the help of Mr. Mel Bartholomew's wonderful gardening book. We were all filled with the hope of fresh vegetables from our own backyard, but sadly we started too late and it didn't turn out as well as planned. We did manage to get some very delicious, but small, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, onions and potatoes. This time we're more prepared and ready to buckle down and take care of our garden. We'll also be sure to upload photos and keep you updated with how our garden is doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What the Connoisseur Recommends:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/All-New-Square-Foot-Gardening/dp/B001YSOKKI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1270153995&amp;amp;sr=8-4"&gt;All New Square Foot Gardening: Grow More in Less Space! &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This book by Mel Bartholomew is fantastic! His square foot gardens are perfect with any sized yard, large or small. This book saved us a lot of grief over our garden and gave us some great money-saving tips&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Piece-Gardening-Foldaway-Backrest-Detachable/dp/B00251QS3A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=hi&amp;amp;qid=1270154076&amp;amp;sr=8-1-catcorr"&gt;9 Piece Gardening Tool Kit with Foldaway Stool with Backrest and Detachable Tote&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This tool kit is the coolest thing! It has all you need to garden with, like a trowel, transplanter, and a rake, but then it has a neat collapsable stool with a backrest. So after planting all of your new flowers in your flower bed in the hot sun, you can just conveniently relax and take a break with back support. Can it get any better?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Love Catherine&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7241943580072616671-3281993500745544405?l=connoisseurrecommends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://connoisseurrecommends.blogspot.com/feeds/3281993500745544405/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7241943580072616671&amp;postID=3281993500745544405' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7241943580072616671/posts/default/3281993500745544405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7241943580072616671/posts/default/3281993500745544405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://connoisseurrecommends.blogspot.com/2010/03/its-that-time-again-at-connoisseur-to.html' title='Square Foot Garden'/><author><name>Catherine  and Elaine Payne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04726480098576018614</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-23xLnURht1c/TfFQQa6UnlI/AAAAAAAAAK4/EwGKGkf2uGo/s220/mama.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5-34GVQtR0Y/S7Oxo2f7YJI/AAAAAAAAAGE/KnqaDri6IGM/s72-c/garden.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241943580072616671.post-7027721229394512726</id><published>2010-03-01T13:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-09-06T09:07:12.792-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dreamfield&apos;s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='carb krunchers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='low carb'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bagels'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='angel pasta'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='low carb connoissuer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='james richardson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pasta'/><title type='text'>Amazing Low Carb Pasta!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5-34GVQtR0Y/S4w878zNv8I/AAAAAAAAAFs/i2S2vzD9D1M/s1600-h/pasta.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 224px; float: left; height: 320px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443793050214973378" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5-34GVQtR0Y/S4w878zNv8I/AAAAAAAAAFs/i2S2vzD9D1M/s320/pasta.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; "The man who sticks to his plan will become what he used to want to be" - James Richardson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very simple but true quote that I feel applies to me as I embark on my low carb diet. As long as I stick to my plan and try hard, I can become the person that I envision. Even though it's easy to stray from my plan, I've found some things to help keep me on track.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few nights ago, I was so hungry and dreading dinner because I thought "There's not going to be anything other than meat and cheese, same as any other night". I walked into the kitchen and I saw my mom cooking pasta (which is definitely against the rules as any good low carb dieter knows). Turns out it was Dreamfield's Angel Pasta and it tasted exactly like the real thing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm so glad there's alternatives that you can eat while doing a low carb diet because I don't feel deprived at all! I can still eat chicken alfredo for dinner and even have a bagel for breakfast when I want, all while losing weight!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.low-carb.com/drlowdicapa.html"&gt;Dreamfield's Pasta&lt;/a&gt; - True to it's name, it's like a dream to anyone who hasn't had any good pasta in a really long time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.low-carb.com/cakrba57netc.html"&gt;Carb Krunchers Bagels&lt;/a&gt; - These were so great that I totally forgot that they were low carb products.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7241943580072616671-7027721229394512726?l=connoisseurrecommends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://connoisseurrecommends.blogspot.com/feeds/7027721229394512726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7241943580072616671&amp;postID=7027721229394512726' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7241943580072616671/posts/default/7027721229394512726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7241943580072616671/posts/default/7027721229394512726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://connoisseurrecommends.blogspot.com/2010/03/man-who-sticks-to-his-plan-will-become.html' title='Amazing Low Carb Pasta!'/><author><name>Catherine  and Elaine Payne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04726480098576018614</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-23xLnURht1c/TfFQQa6UnlI/AAAAAAAAAK4/EwGKGkf2uGo/s220/mama.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5-34GVQtR0Y/S4w878zNv8I/AAAAAAAAAFs/i2S2vzD9D1M/s72-c/pasta.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241943580072616671.post-6925902394629482808</id><published>2010-02-25T19:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-27T10:21:01.969-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sugar free'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexican'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='almond milk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='moinillo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='soy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blude diamond'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recipe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ghiradelli'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hot chocolate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='low calorie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinnamon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='milk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='westsoy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sweetener'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='low carb'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='whisk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='atkins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cold'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='connoisseur'/><title type='text'>Sugar Free Mexican Hot Chocolate</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5-34GVQtR0Y/S4c-tPgxUZI/AAAAAAAAAFk/d4f4gYoq9rc/s1600-h/chocolate+mex.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 231px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 195px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442387621679550866" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5-34GVQtR0Y/S4c-tPgxUZI/AAAAAAAAAFk/d4f4gYoq9rc/s320/chocolate+mex.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's February and it's freezing outside, so why not warm up with a cup of yummy sugar free hot chocolate?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Chocolate and cinnamon mixed with warmed milk then frothed with a molinillo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;A Mexican Molinillo is the Mexican chocolate "whisk" or "stirrer".

There's something here for everybody to love. This recipe brings together the salty, crunch of popcorn with the savory kick of caramel and the sweet drizzle of chocolate!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;All you need is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;2 bags microw&lt;/span&gt;ave popcorn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1 cup &lt;a href="http://www.low-carb.com/natsweetcrys.html"&gt;Steel's Powdered Maltitol&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1/2 cup &lt;a href="http://www.low-carb.com/vanflavmalsw.html"&gt;Steel's Vanilla Syrup &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1 teaspoon vinegar&lt;br /&gt;3 &lt;a href="http://www.low-carb.com/chba.html"&gt;ChocoPerfection Bars &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1 tablespoon butter&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Makes 10 Servings&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pop the corn and remove the unpopped kernels. Place into a large mixing bowl. Mix the Maltitol, syrup and vinegar together in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil on medium heat, stirring constantly to a temperature of 240°(soft ball). Immediately turn off heat and add the butter. Stir until blended and then pour over the popcorn. Using a long handled wooden spoon, quickly toss the popcorn with the hot mixture. You have to work fast before the candy sets up and be careful not to touch the hot mixture.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the corn is well coated, spread the popcorn on a buttered baking pan and allow to completely cool.Separate the popcorn into pieces or clumps using your hands coated in a little butter. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the ChocoPerfection bars and break into several pieces.
