My Big Fat Diet Recipes

To lose weight we want to consume foods that low in calorie, but these foods most often taste terribly. But luckily for years chiefs around the world have come out with diet recipes that not only delicious but also make you lose your weight.
Here are some my big fat diet recipes that you might want to try:
Apple and Spinach Salad
The ingredients:
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 8 cups fresh baby spinach (about 8 ounces)
- 1 large apple, cored and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled blue cheese
How to cook:
The cooking instruction is very simple; just combine juices, mustard, honey, salt, and paper. Place onions and spinach, add dressing and toss together top with blue cheese.
Roasted Beets with Balsamic Glaze
The Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 6 medium beets (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 1 star anise
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
How to cook:
First you need to pre-heat your oven up to 400. Next you need to trim off all but one inch of the stem on beets, and you need to leave the root intact. Then you need to scrub with a brush, and wrap the beets in foil. Then you need to bake the beets for 1 hour, then cool the beets to room temperature, then peel and cut each beet into 8 wedges. At the last phase, you combine orange juice, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and star anise in a small saucepan, bring to a boil. Cook for about 10 minutes until reduced to 1/3 cups. Throw off the star anise. Then combine beets, vinegar mixture, salt, and pepper then toss well.
The instructions mentioned above are just general guidelines, feel free to experiment or add your own mixture.
