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
Diet hints and tips
In deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Use reduced carbohydrate chocolate bars for chocolate muffins.
If you have taken the time to convert your most popular chocolate chip cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soya flour, you really shouldn't add in those high carbohydrate chocolate chips. Break up a reduced carbohydrate chocolate bar into tiny pieces and use that in its place.
* Make low carb bread crumbs for breaded foods.
Whilst you can buy reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs, you can make them at home by simply using low carb bread. All you have to do is simply toast the reduced carbohydrate bread in the oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is quite hard and crispy, grind it up in your food processor or blender. Keep in an airtight jar or container.
Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes citrus fruits, red apples, garden pea and peppermint)
The compounds known as flavonoids which are present in these foods are thought by experts to have properties in preventing cancer.
Researchers researching the properties of flavonoids suspect that they could also have many other health giving capabilities, amongst them, antiviral and antiplatelet activities..
The majority of these are also low in calories, so should be a part of every diet.
