Recipe Ingredients
1 qt water
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tsp dried leaf oregano
1/2 cup whole-kernel corn, * drained
1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes, crushed
1 pepper to taste
Recipe Preparation
In a heavy, 3-quart saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly
pour cornmeal into saucepan so that water does not stop boiling,
stirring to keep smooth. Reduce heat and simmer 20 to 25 minutes,
stirring often until mixture is stiff. Meanwhile, in a small
saucepan, heat tomato sauce, oregano, corn, hot pepper flakes and
pepper. When cornmeal is stiff, turn half into a serving dish and top
with half the sauce. Layer remaining cornmeal and sauce and let rest
to 5 to 10 minutes. Cut in squares and serve.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tipsIf you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
Some reduced carb diet tips:
* Don't skip meals Most low carbohydrate recipes are, rather obviously, low in carbs. Our bodies need energy, and carbs are a very efficient source of energy. A low carbohydrate diet requires extreme care in managing your intake of energy, as any energy provided by protein and fat is slower acting.
* Make reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs for breaded foods. While you can sometimes buy reduced carb bread crumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using low carb bread. All you have to do is toast the low carbohydrate bread in a preheated oven on a sheet of cookie paper. Once it is well toasted, process it in your food processor or blender. Keep in a tupperware container.
