by MaomaoMom
Both my son and husband loved the Melt-in-the-mouth shortbread cookies. Today, I made these wonderful cookies with addition of pecans. Instead of using all-purpose flour, I accidentally used cake&pastry flour. Amazingly, these cookies turn out to be so crispy, truly melting in your mouth.

I believe that avoiding prepared foods could be the first step for you to lose weight. They might taste very good, but processed foods currently have very little vitamins and minerals, making you take in more simply to have enough power to get throughout the day. If you are constantly ingesting these foods, converting to grain and other complex carbohydrates will make you to have more vigor while feeding on less. Great blog post.
