Garlic Green Beans Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
1 lb green beans, ends trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp red-wine vinegar
1 tbsp walnut or olive oil
1/8 tsp salt (optional)
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Recipe
Preparation
I tried this recipe from Jane Brody's "Good Food Gourmet" for
Thanksgiving last year and my family really loved it! Steam beans for
5 to 7 minutes or until tender crisp. Rinse briefly under cold water
to preserve color, but do not chill. Cover and keep warm. In a large
bowl, combine garlic and remaining ingredients. Add warm green beans
and toss until well coated. If desired, you can reheat in microwave
before serving. If you don't want such a strong flavor of garlic,
simmer the unpeeled cloves of garlic in a cup of water for 5 minutes
before peeling and mincing. I don't think the original recipe is too
strong though.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
In deciding on a meal plan, it is important to attempt to moderate your consumption of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
Some reduced carb diet tips:
* Don't skip meals
Most low carb recipes are, errmm.., low in carbohydrates. Your body requires energy, and carbohydrates are a fast acting energy source. A low carb diet requires care and attention in managing your energy intake, as any energy contributed by non-carbohydrate sources is less efficient.
* Replace sugar with a low carb substitute such as splenda.
Most recipes that require sugar can be adapted to make use of splenda instead. It is not exactly the same so you will need to do a bit of trial and error and it might not be perfect for everything, but it does a decent job once you get the measurements right.
Foods rich in lycopene
(includes guava, red bell peppers & tomato puree)
The phytochemical lycopene is a non-synthetic coloring agent and one of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. It is the reason for the red hue of many food types.
Intrestingly, unlike numerous healthy agents, this useful phytochemical is not damaged if it is cooked, rather it is actually improved by being heated.
.
Lycoprene's most interesting advantage is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to be of use in the battle to lower the risk of cancer.
Lycopene is the strongest quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It is also thought by many experts to block the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
