With the cold weather arriving in just a few months, you need to think about what wines will become a part of your daily rotation. Winter dinners are usually filled with hearty foods to keep the body and soul warm. Therefore, you need big, hearty, red wines to go along with the big, hearty foods that you will be preparing. The days of white wine and barbecue are over. Hearty beef stew and Cabernet Sauvignon is what will be on your table now. Here are four of the best winter wines.I found that eating toast in the morning is healthy if you buy whole grain breads & it stops you from fasting. Always try to eat something for breakfast. If you have toast for breakfast try not to eat more bread for lunch. Too much bread each day will put the pounds on. If you like sandwiches for lunch, eat cereal in the mornings. For dinners I have been making a spicy beef recipe thai stir fry once a week & it is all vegetables & a bit of beef with rice. A completely healthy meal & so enjoyable. Make enough for a quick meal for a few nights & you'll be feeling wonderful in no time. Try to eat just the 3 meals a day. Snacking is a big problem for weight gain. If you need something try to eat fruit. An apple will give you so much more than some kind of junk food.To make this dish you'll need: vegetable oil, 1/2 pound of boneless beef top sirloin steak - cut into 1-inch strips, cumin, 1 small onion - thinly sliced, 1 small red or green pepper - thinly sliced, 1 garlic clove - minced, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, 4 flour tortillas - warmed, lime wedges, chunky salsa sauce and sour cream (optional).My next attempt was to find an amazing all natural beef and pumpkin. I hunted and searched. That effort resulted in a tomato based beef and pumpkin curry stew. This one was definitely a lot better than the spice packet version. It was all natural and did not give me MSG induced headaches. I just was not a big fan of the tomato flavor. I knew that there had to be something better out there. "Where could I find it?" I wondered. I had been trying for years, and I was ready to give up!Think back to previous diets (yes, I know it's painful) and work out why you didn't stick to the plan. Why did you start out with such high hopes but end up back on the junk food beef and pumpkin stir fry the ready meals? What led you astray?Gingerbread is a marvelous dessert for acid reflux sufferers. Find a recipe that uses canned pumpkin and wheat germ. Make it with unsweetened applesauce and low-fat buttermilk. Then resist the temptation to mound whipped cream on top of it! Try a low-fat imitation whip instead.If you enjoyed this post, please be kind and do two things: 1) try making the recipe and let me know what you think; 2) share this post beef casserole red wine your friends and family so they can get in on the fun too!
