Low Fat vs Low Carb Diets

by Andreea Dinescu Diets, diets, diets ... every where you go, anything you read you can’t miss them, they are almost everywhere. And if you have weight problems you are really annoyed by the huge number of ads or commercials promoting one or another type of diet. That’s why we asked on your behalf and we went to the best specialist to find the answer for the most charged topic: low fat versus low carb diets. First of all let me tell you about how this study was made, in order to understand its accuracy. It went over a period of 10 years, involving 2700 of people that were on one of those diets ... Rest of the article is here.

Dia y Noche Chocolate Flan Cake

Dia y Noche (Day & Night) Chocolate flan cake Ingredients: 3 eggs 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz) 1 can of evaporated milk (12 fl oz) 1 bar of cream cheese (8 oz) 1 tsp vanilla 1 box devil's food chocolate cake Directions: Combine eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, cream cheese, and vanilla in a blender and mix well. Prepare devil’s food chocolate cake mix according to box directions. Butter a Bundt pan (or other large, *deep* pan). The pan should be buttered very well; place the chocolate cake mix in the pan and carefully spoon the flan mixture from the blender on top of the cake mix. Cover pan with aluminum foil and place in a water bath. The water should cover the pan about half way. Bake for approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes at 375 F. Check the cake with a knife until it comes clean to make sure is cooked. The chocolate cake will certainly be cooked, but the flan may take longer. Remove cake from the oven let cool for 30 - 60 minutes and then flip onto serving plate. Refrigerate overnight for the flan to completely set. You can serve immediately after cake cools, but the flan may still be a little soft in the middle. Top with butterscotch, caramel, chocolate syrup, or any other sweet topping just before serving.

Authentic Mexican Cheese Tastes Better

Quiz: What cheese tastes better on pasta? Is it Cheddar ... or Parmesan?

You use Parmesan with Italian dishes - because it's the right cheese for the right food.

Mexican food is exactly the same - the right cheese transforms a good recipe into fantastic! Mexican cheeses cook, look, and taste different than American or European cheeses.
