It is also a versatile sweet since it adapts easily to the season simply by changing a few ingredients. These muffins, for example, are perfect for fall since sweet potato is seasonal at this time, and the combination with cinnamon is absolutely perfect.

I hope you like these muffins as much I do.

  7. Pour the dough on top of the pineapple placed at the bottom of the mold and bake the cake at 160 degrees for 25 -35 minutes or until cooked.
  8. Take out the cake upside down immediately. Pay a lot of attention because the xylitol “syrup” could be very hot.

The gingerbread man is one of the most famous and recognizable symbols of Christmas. Although each country has its traditions, these cookies have become a Christmas icon.

It seems that the origin of gingerbread goes back to 992 when an Armenian monk brought this recipe to France. From there, these cookies spread throughout Europe; but they obtain their peculiar characteristic form just when Elizabeth I of England did not begin to give similar gingerbread cookies to her guests.

Today I propose my version of gingerbread men, super simple and without added fats, perfects for Phase 1.

They are a quick and original version; it is a cookie with a softer texture than the classic and flavored Christmas.

This recipe is part of my Christmas recipe e-book “Fast Metabolism Xmas,” will soon go on sale the 2nd Edition.

I hope you like this recipe; enjoy a healthier Christmas!

Although I lived in Barcelona for a few years, I was born in Rome and, as you can imagine, I occasionally miss Italian food; So when I have some nostalgia, I prepare some typical dish. In fact, I have already published several of my recipes inspired by Italian traditional dishes, such as Rice Cake, Ragu Pasta, Salty Pie, but today Pizza! Clearly, my version is super healthy.

Although it is one of the most popular dishes in the world, it is not known the exact moment of its origin; and in the Middle Ages it was largely consumed by the people; As often happens it came to the tables of the nobles and was much appreciated. The most famous anecdote about pizza is this: in 1889, cook Raffaele Esposito prepared a pizza with tomato, mozzarella, and basil as the colors of the Italian flag, in honor of Queen Margherita di Savoia; That day was born the most famous pizza in the world.
