Dietary options today can cost a health-conscious American thousands of dollars each year, and the results may be short-lived. And like you have probably already seen, they are all over the internet in blogs and success stories of people who have apparently used diet aids and lost a ton of weight. But we here at Fox News are a little skeptical and aren‘t sure that we‘ve seen any real proof that these diet aids work for weight loss. So we decided to put these products to the test. What better way to find out the truth than to conduct our own study?
To get started, I volunteered to be the guinea pig. I applied for 2 bottles of Raspberry Ultra Drops. While there are tons of diet aid ads online, Raspberry Ultra Drops is one of the most credible and trustworthy suppliers on the market. Another reason why I chose Raspberry Ultra Drops is because it comes with a 30-day money back guarantee – easily the longest on the market. With nothing to lose, I decided to take the plunge.

Receta: Tabbule التبولة con video
Fresco e ideal para comer sólo o acompañado, el Tabule es uno de los favoritos de aquellos que apreciamos la cocina árabe. Con carnes o bien en pan árabe o pita, es siempre bienvenido en cualquier mesa. Es un platillo típico de Levante y hoy les dejamos la receta, fácil y rápida por cierto, para que puedan disfrutarlo en vuestras mesas.
La siguiente receta es la más popular en el Líbano, luego explicaremos algunas variedades
Ingredientes
Para la preparación necesitamos:
- 1/2 taza (algunos prefieren 1 taza entera) de bulgur o burgol, es decir trigo finamente partido.
- 2 tazas de agua.
- 3/4 taza de perejil finamente picado.
- hojas de menta (hierbabuena) finamente picada a gusto.
- 2 tomates medianos (redondos) picados en pequeñísimos cubos.
- 1 cebolla mediana o bien 3 o 4 cebollas de verdeo en concasse.
- jugo de medio limón, sí te gusta más alimonada puedes agregarle más.
- Aceite de oliva, sal, pimienta negra, a gusto.
Paso #1
Ponemos en remojo el trigo en las dos tazas de agua (algunos remojan el trigo en limón). Se aconseja lavar el trigo antes de ponerlo en remojo para sacarle cualquier residuo que pueda tener. Para ello, lo colocamos en un recipiente y lo cubrimos con agua mientras lo removemos con la mano, verás que el agua se pone lechosa. Con la mano nos ayudamos para volcar el agua sin que se nos caiga el trigo. Repetimos este procedimiento una vez más y lo dejamos reposar en agua durante 10 minutos aproximadamente.
Mientras remojamos el burgol, procedemos a picar el perejil que previamente hemos lavado y del cual hemos separado las hojas y así evitar los tallos que suelen ser muy fibrosos. haciendo pequeños atados y envolviéndolos con presión lo picamos finamente. Lo mismo hacemos con la menta.
Picamos finamente todos lo vegetales, tomates y cebollas (cortar primero en rodajas y luego en pequeños cubos). Deben estar picados en concasse. Luego exprimimos el limón.
Con la ayuda de un tamiz o colador, o bien con las manos (lo más recomendable), escurrimos el trigo para eliminar todo el excedente de agua. En un bowl disponemos el trigo escurrido, el tomate y la cebolla picados finamente, el perejil y la menta, y añadimos la sal, el jugo de limón y la pimienta.
Algunos gustan de añadirle , sobre todo en siria, pepino y hasta rabanitos picados en pequeños cubitos. Para servirlo y comerlo se aconseja servirlo junto con hojas de lechuga (preferentemente repollada) y/o hojas de repollo. Comer el tabule sirviendo un poco de este sobre las hojas frescas.
Para terminar les dejo un lindo video para que vean el paso a paso del Tabule. SaHa!… ¡Provecho!

balsamic vinegar BASIL VINAIGRETTE
the previous thread on favorite store bought dressings reminded me - i've been searching for a really good balsamic vinagrette recipe. not a thin, vinegary kind, but a little thicker and complex tasting, with garlic, shallots, dijon (?)... the kind they have at some of the nicer salad places in SF financial district if you're familiar with that area... i hope you can figure out what kind i mean.
BVD is the one dressing I make all the time. I've found that adding mustard, and shaking it in a small jar is what makes it thick and viscous. Below is a recipe I use, with optional extras. I never measure, so I hope you don't mind my guesses at the amounts. You can experiment & change the amounts to your liking.
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. dijon mustard
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp. pepper (or to taste)
1 teaspoon dried herbs, or 2-3 teaspoons fresh herbs (herbes de provence, tarragon, thyme are some choices)
1 sm. clove garlic, minced (optional, see note)
1 shallot or red onion, sliced paper thin or minced (optional)
Shake in a small jar. Keeps for a while in the fridge too.
Note: if you don't want the taste of raw garlic, fill a jar of balsamic vinegar with some smashed garlic cloves; the vinegar will have the garlic taste after a few days.
