Preparation
Preparation time: 25 minutes. Cooking time: 1 hour. Yield: 9 1/2
cups.
1. Heat oil in 3-quart non-aluminum saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add garlic, onion, carrots and 1/2 cup of the zucchini. Cook,
stirring often, until onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Add kidney
beans, tomatoes and their liquid, tomato paste, beef broth, 1 1/2
cups water, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, oregano and salt. Stir
until combined. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, 40 minutes.
2. Add remaining zucchini, bulgur wheat and corn kernels. Simmer 10
minutes more. Add remaining 1/2 cup water as necessary. Taste and
adjust seasoning. Serve hot. Pass light sour cream or low-fat yogurt,
sliced green onions and cilantro leaves separately. Note: This is a
highly flavorful, crunchy and substantial chili. As with most chilis,
it's best made at least a day ahead so the flavors fully develop. Can
be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated or frozen as long as 3
months. Reheat gently, adjusting water and seasoning as needed.

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 argument against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is really safe for you?
Many scientific studies over the last few years have shown that eating too much animal fat causes increased chance of cancer, heart problems and other serious illnesses.
Most of the negative side effects observed, like tiredness, stomach disorders, or bad headaches seem to pass quickly, but critics contend that low carb diets are not without serious long term side effects.
Superfoods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes garlic, fennel, kidney bean & peppermint)
The nutrients known as flavonoids which exist in these natural foods are believed to have properties as anti-carcinogens.
Nutritionalists looking into the medical effects of flavonoids think they may well have most other health giving capabilities, including anti-dermatitis and antiplatelet properties.
The majority of these are also low in calories, so should be included in every diet.
