Preparation
Preheat oven to 325 F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick
cooking spray. Put 1 Tbs flour in bottom of pan and shake to evenly
coat it. Set aside, then prepare crust.
To make crust, mix remaining flour, oats, 1 cup sugar and salt in
large bowl; stir to mix well. In separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup egg
substitute, oil, water and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour the
liquid ingredi- ents into dry ingredients. Mix well to form dry
dough. Scrape the dough into previously prepared pan. Using a large
sheet of wax paper, press the dough, using your hands, across bottom
of pan and up the sides about 1/4 inch (The dough will not stick to
your fingers because of the wax paper.) Discard wax paper and bake
the crust for 15 to 17 minutes, or until firm to touch and lightly
golden.
In same large bowl, combine remaining 1 cup sugar, and cornstarch and
stir until well mixed. Pour in 3/4 cup egg substitute, lemon juice,
lime juice, lemon rind and remaining vanilla extract. Whisk mixture
until sugar is dissolved and no cornstarch lumps remain. Pour
custard- filling over the crust and bake 20 min. longer, until
filling is set. Remove from heat, allow to cool completely. Sprinkle
with confectioners sugar and cut into 32 pieces.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weight
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
The problems associated with reduced carb diets
Its extremely popular, but it is really safe for you?
Scientific studies over recent years have proved that high consumption of animal fat causes greater probability of cancer, heart problems and other serious illnesses.
Remember, one fact that is often overlooked, it is very hard (although not totally impossible) for vegetarians to take up a reduced carb diet.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, onions and welsh onion)
The onion family is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is very little scientific evidence obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought to help with antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be a part of every diet system.
