Recipe
Ingredients
1 pt low-cal cottage cheese
3 large cloves of fresh garlic, minced
1 1/2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp wine vinegar
Recipe
Preparation
Another of my recipes. This one goes well when you're feeding people
who are ready to party, but are also trying to diet. Has a very nice
garlicky tang to it. Use it either with raw vegetables or any kind of
cracker or diet cracker.
« tsp Italian seasoning Salt and pepper to taste
Mix all the ingredients together (you can even beat this mixture until
smooth if you're going to be dipping things like cauliflower in it).
Replace in the cottage cheese container. Cover and refrigerate for at
least an hour and preferably overnight. At party time, remove from
refrigerator and serve either picnic-style in the cottage cheese
container or put in a bowl for serving. Sprinkle a bit of paprika on
the top for color.

Food Tips of the Week
A few tips on healthy eating
In planning a diet, the important thing is to also endeavour to restrict your ingestion of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.
Some lower carb diet tips:
* Use soya flour or baking mix.
When you need to use flour for baked goods, substitute soy flour or a soy baking mix such as Atkins bake mix. In many cases, you may adapt your best loved recipes that use white flour to use these.
* Don't miss meals
Most low carb recipes are, not surprisingly, low in carbohydrates. Your body must have energy, and carbohydrates are a quick acting source of energy. A lower carbohydrate diet requires great care in managing your energy levels, as any energy contributed by protein and fat is far slower to act.
Superfoods containing lycopene
(includes apricot, red bell peppers & rosehip)
Lycopene is a non-synthetic coloring compound and one of the carotenid family. It is behind the dark red color of some fruit, vegetables and pulses.
Unlike numerous nutrients, lycopene does not become less effective if subjected to heat, but is truly improved by being heated.
.
Its most important theraputic value is that it serves as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the fight to lower the risk of contracting cancer.
