mushrooms, peppers, zucchini, and garlic for about 5 minutes. Stir in
rest of ingredients and bring to a boil. (I did NOT stir in the
greens, instead I placed them in the bottom of the dish first.)
Transfer mixture to a 9x13 casserole dish and cover. Bake until
liquid is absorbed, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and
fluff with a fork. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Makes 6-8
servings (acc. to VT... for me it's 4 servings if it's the main dish).

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightDrink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.

* Food labels can be misleading Be sceptical of food labeling that proclaims 'low carb' - check the actual nutritional information on the back of the tin or package. A good number of are only a little decreased and in some cases still higher than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' does not always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are identically the same.
