Joy Of Cooking Brownies

As a personal trainer and fitness instructor bootcamp in Singapore, very often I meet people who love their cookies. Even being absolutely committed to a healthy diet designed for weight loss, burn fat and strength training, they still long to indulge a little food from time to time.

What is the best action to take when we are truly, absolutely dying for a mouthful of sweet, warm cookie?

The answer is simple: Just cook your own! This is how best to eat cookies all on a healthy diet.

Make your own luxury, pastries and confectionery beats buy-in from afar. Why?

1. VALUE - When you prepare yourself, you get more joy per calorie, because the pleasure of doing, especially if you travel with friends or family, good smells that float on the hot oven, the sensation of heat that comes with goodies to hand the division, are part of your cookie experience. You do not have the chance to discover all these things when you come to pick up pre-made or packaged cookies.

2. QUALITY CONTROL - when you eat homemade cookies, eat cookies and nothing else. When you buy things in packages, cookies, biscuits etc. stabilizers, preservatives, flavors artficial, blowing agents, etc. added to give it a shelf life and help producers to reduce costs. While the ingredients (unless you increase your own flour mill, harvesting cocoa and roast your own beans, etc.) will have traveled a great deal of chemical treatment, he would still have less overall adverse added that the commercial versions. In addition, you are sure your goodies are made from the finest ingredients, for example: real butter, rich yellow, rather than the good bakeries filled with trans fat butter substitutes for commercial use.

3. ABSOLUTE freshness - you can pop right into the mouth when they are done (and cold!). Nothing is cooler.

4. Cons - It takes work and time to make your own cakes and pastries, more than the store would pick them up, so if you only eat the ones you do on your own, ten-to-one, you'll consumption these much less often.

5. AWARENESS - When you make your own cookies or muffins, you see what happens in them. A half-cup of butter. A cup of sugar. 2 cups white flour. It makes you more aware of the depth of the wickedness of bakery products. This helps us to say "No" to the bakery full of refined sugar, more clean, more often.

6. Calorie Control - I am not an activist for counting calories, but when it comes to baked goods, you can play with ingredients to reduce the number of calories, for example, less sugar, stewed apples Instead of fat, etc. It is difficult, but since cooking is all about chemistry and your product may taste quite different (in an unpleasant way) from the "original". When cooking low calorie, it is preferable to work with low-calorie recipes that has already been tried and tested by those who know. (That said, in my humble opinion, if you fight - assuming that you do once a month - so just indulge!)!)

Bakery products are impressive. If you put one in your face, it smells like heaven, and when you put one in your mouth, it tastes like heaven. Sweet, salty, nuts, chocolate-y, crunchy, soft, sweet, crunchy - no matter the texture and taste, cakes, pies, puddings, and other quickbreads - they are so addictive. My personal fav is brownies with ice.

Make your own - the best indulgence.
