Make pies by putting scoops of about 1/4 cup on the base crust. Egg

glaze for color and bake at 350 degrees till puffed and browned.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Reducing carbohydrates could mean missing out on essential nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which must be part of any well adjusted diet, in particular those provied by vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Even though there is some research that suggests that low carb diets may help reduce weight, some of this strong evidence has resulted in much debate between nutrition experts, and their relative safety has been the cause of great debate
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.
