By Juvy S. Iliwiliw


I will be adding five more M.Y. San Grahams recipes and I will give more than just recipes because I will be adding dessert tips for you. These tips will be helpful so that you will be called an expert in each of the recipes that you will try doing.

M.Y. SAN CHOCO GRAHAMS BUCO BALLS


You will need:


1/3         cup M.Y. San Grahams Chocolate, crushed
1            cup buco meat, shredded and chopped
1/2         cup brown sugar

Here's how:


1. MIX - mix buco and sugar in saucepan. Stir and simmer for about 8 minutes or until mixture dry. Cool.
2. ROLL - form mixture into balls. Roll in crushed M.Y. San Grahams Chocolate. Serve.

Dessert Tip:

Have you noticed that brown sugar hardened easily? To prevent this, you have to put small pieces of apple, orange or lemon inside the sugar jar. The citric acid of the fruits would help the brown sugar to stay soft for a period of time.

M. Y. SAN GRAHAMS CHOCO TOFFEE


You will need:


8         pieces M.Y. San Grahams Chocolate, chopped
2         tbsp unsalted butter
4 1/2   tbsp condensed milk
1         tbsp cocoa powder
1/2      cup marshmallows, cut up into small pieces
12       pieces Flat tops chocolate candies, chopped
           a pinch of salt

Here's how:


1. COMBINE - butter, condensed milk, cocoa powder and salt in a saucepan. Boil mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes.

2. ADD - chocolate and marshmallows. Mix well until marshmallows are melted. Add chopped M.Y. San Grahams Chocolate. Cool.

3. SCOOP 1 tablespoon of the mixture and drop onto a sheet of wax paper. Repeat the procedure for the rest of the mixture.

4. CHILL and SERVE.

Dessert Tip:


Marshmallows easily hardened when they are not eaten right away. In order to maintain the texture of the marshmallows, put them in a plastic bag together with slices of fresh bread then seal the plastic bag. After two days, the marshmallows will still be as good as new!

M.Y. SAN GRAHAMS FRUIT CREPE


You will need:


1           cup M.Y. San Crushed Grahams
3           pieces eggs
4           tbsp sugar
3/4        cup evaporated milk
1/2        cup water
1/2        cup all-purpose cream
2           tbsp margarine
1           cup papaya, sliced
1/2        cup pineapple, sliced
1/4        cup margarine
3           tbsp brown sugar
1/4        cup chocolate syrup
             a pinch of salt

Here's how:


1. DO FILLING - in a frying pan, melt brown sugar. Add butter and blend well. Add fruits and coat with the syrup. Transfer everything into a bowl. Set aside.

2. DO CREPE BATTER - in a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, salt, milk and water. Stir well. Add flour and M.Y. San crushed Grahams to egg mixture. Mix until smooth.

3. COMBINE - lightly greased a frying pan with butter. When hot, pour 1/2 cup of the crepe, batter, swirling the pan while batter is poured to cover the pan's base evenly. When set, add filling in the center and fold all sides in to make a square.

4. SERVE - transfer filled crepe onto a serving plate. Drizzle with chocolate syrup. Top with vanilla ice cream if desired.

Dessert Tip:


If you need fruits substitute in a recipe, choose those that are in season. In this way, fresher, riper, more affordable and more available your fruits substitute will be.

High Blood Cholesterol and Nutritional Needs

A diet rich in soy and whey protein, found in ...Image via Wikipedia
By Jim Duffy


Some people assume that the only cholesterol they ever get is through their diets. So, if you do not eat any food with cholesterol, you would have zero in your body, right? This is actually incorrect because the body makes its own cholesterol, an amount equivalent to ten eggs every day. Just as the body digests and breaks down amino acids to form hormones for a number of functions, cholesterol in the body is used to make hormones.
