The photo center spread will certainly inspire and encourage you. Such offerings as Tiramisu, Raspberry-White Chocolate Trifle and even Cinnamon Truffles a beautifully displayed and quite mouth watering.

The book also covers the basics about low-carb desserts, offers tips and tricks for measurings, equivalents and conversions and even sources for low-carb dessert ingredients and other tips and techniques you will need. Each recipe even includes the expected cooking and prep time as well as nutritional content listing calories, protein, net carbs, fat, cholesterol and sodium.

Easy Easter Mosaic Gelatin

Estimated Preparation Time: 10 minutes (plus at least 5 hours chilling time)
Cook Time: none
Servings: 6

Featuring easter colours and a light lemon flavour, this gelatin mold will complement any holiday diner.

Cooking Spray
2 3 ounce packages sugar-free lemon gelatin
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup nondairy whipped topping
1 1/2 cups multicoloured, fruit-flavoured miniature marshmallows

Lightly spray a 4 cup gelatin mold with cooking spray; set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups boiling water with both packages of lemon gelatin; stir 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup cold water and stire another 2 minutes, or until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Refrigerate in the mixing bowl for 2 hours, or until gelatin becomes thick but not set. (Test by putting 1 miniature marshmallow into the bowl and stirring it in. If the marshmallow doesn't float, the gelatin is ready.)

Stir in the miniature marshmallows, then spoon the mixture into the prepared gelatin mold. Refrigerate at least 3 more hours, or until gelatin is completely set and firm.

To unmold the gelatin, dip the pan into a large bowlful of warm water until the water comes halfway up the sides of the mold; hold 20 seconds. (Be careful not to get any water onto the gelatin.) Remove the mold from water and place a serving platter over the top of the mold, then invert the gelatin onto the plate. Shake gently to loosen the gelatin from the mold, then invert the gelatin onto the plate. Shake gently to loosen the gelatin from the mold. If it doesn't come out easily, repeat the dipping process for another 10 seconds and try again. Cut gelatin into six portions and serve.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection (excerpt)

You are about to gain insight into the mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and bodies, you can learn to use this fact to your benefit.

Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and Miracles" was once a distraught cancer surgeon until he began to understand the greater principles of the mind- body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial barriers that existed between patient and doctor, and the helplessness he often felt as a result of his inability to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those barriers were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition and growing understanding of the mind-body connection and how it could serve his patients and himself.

Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and attitude about their
disease.
