I have a major sweet tooth right now, what can I eat or make to satisfy it?

If you don't have a piece of candy or cookie, try buttering some toast and sprinkling on some brown sugar or cinnamon sugar.

I have a major sweet tooth right now, what can I eat or make to satisfy it?

Show: Good Eats


Episode: Art of Darkness II: Cocoa





Soft butter, for greasing the pan


Flour, for dusting the buttered pan


4 large eggs


1 cup sugar, sifted


1 cup brown sugar, sifted


8 ounces melted butter


11/4 cups cocoa, sifted


2 teaspoons vanilla extract


1/2 cup flour, sifted


1/2 teaspoon kosher salt





Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan.


In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine.


Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean. When it's done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool.
Reply:The only thing I ever have a sweet tooth for is ice cream. Shaine's of Maine raspberry choclate chip!

Reply:Before we went all-organic, these were some fav's...





Take a can of pizza crust, roll it out, cut into squares, deep fry for a couple minutes and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.





or





Take a leftover warm biscuit, top with canned pie filling and with a dollop of ice cream or whipped cream. (actually we can still do this organically but use fresh cut up fruit soaked in sugar to make a sauce. We use all raw cream for the whipped cream)





or





Cream cheese sweetened and spread on a bagel and topped with chocolate chips. (again even possible with organic food)





or





Take a mini muffin tin, place several chocolate chips in a few of the holes, melt in the oven then spread up the sides a little, pop in the freezer to set for 5 minutes or so. Place a dollop of peanut butter and smoosh down and smooth, top with more chocolate chips, warm in the oven till they're melted and smooth over the peanut butter. Freeze again for several minutes and pop out and enjoy. You can do this other ways but you only have a tin and a spoon to wash this way. (again, we use organic chips and butter with this too)





Those should calm your sweet tooth without taking you over the edge. All except the donuts aren't too bad for you.





Try to understand what triggers your sweet tooth though. Do you need to do a candida cleanse? A colon cleanse? A parasite cleanse? All these things play a very significant role in cravings we have, so listen to your body, it's talking to you.





Yeast and fungus build up and cause these cravings in us, and they're very real. We need to make sure we're getting enough good bacteria to combat those enemies, even if we think we're eating an already healthy diet. Probiotics can help, look for one that has at least 6 billion active bacteria. Drinking kefir or eating yogurt daily, not the garbage from the yogurt isle like dannon or yoplait, but good homemade yogurt. It's very very easy, I make it daily. This can all help.





Take a whole food supplement ( not a multi-vitamin) as well, and juice fruit and veggies at least once each day. I take kale, collards, cabbage, beets, carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, green apples, lemons, limes, cucumbers etc. and make a concoction at least once a day. I add 1 T. apple cider vinegar for saltiness and enjoy. Don't throw away the pulp. Add it to your next batch of marinara sauce!





The most important thing to remember? All organic, or at least the majority of what you eat should be. The priority is meats, eggs and dairy should be organic (dairy should be raw and organic grass-fed). Then add the organic fruit and veggies and grains when you can.

How to Make Rainbow Jello


1. Select a tray or baking pan.


2. Clear a spot in your refrigerator large enough to accommodate the pan.


3. Set the cups in the pan or tray.


4. Start with red (or purple) Jello. Prepare the Jello according to the directions on the packet. See warnings.


* If there is a "quick chill" method involving ice cubes, use that method.


5. Use a 1/4 cup measure and fill the bottom of each cup with the first batch of Jello.


* Set aside any leftover Jello.


6. Set the pan in the refrigerator for approximately 15 minutes to set.


7. Take the leftover Jello of the color you just poured and mix in a couple of tablespoons of whipped topping.


8. Remove the cups from the refrigerator and layer approximately two tablespoons of the opaque mixture onto the first color.


9. Repeat the steps above for each color, allowing approximately 15 minutes of refrigerator time between every layer.(This recipe makes twenty (20) servings)

Caramel Apples From Food Network Kitchens





8 small apples, such as, Granny Smith or macoun


2 cups light brown sugar


1 cup maple syrup


1/3 cup light corn syrup


1/2 cup heavy cream


4 tablespoons unsalted butter


Toppings of choice, optional, recipes follow








Remove the stems from the apples and scrub them under warm water and dry them. Insert a chopstick through the top of the apple all the way to the top and line a baking sheet with waxed paper, set aside.


Put the sugar, maple syrup, corn syrup, and cream in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, swirling the pan but not stirring, until the mixture reaches 250 degrees F (firm ball stage) on a candy thermometer. Pull pan from the heat and stir in the butter. Tilt the saucepan and dip and spin each apple into the caramel, covering about 3/4 of the apple. Place on the prepared baking sheet until set.





If using a topping spread the topping out on a sheet pan or wax paper and immediately roll the caramel coated apples in the topping. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet until set.








Topping 1:


2 cups chocolate wafers, graham crackers, or vanilla wafers





Put the wafers or cracker of choice in a plastic storage bag and smash until coarse.








Topping 2:


2 cups walnuts or pecans, toasted


1/3 cup dried cranberries


1 tablespoon finely chopped crystallized ginger





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.





Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant and brown, about 8 minutes. Pulse the nuts, cranberries, and ginger in a food processor until mixture resembles very coarse sand.
