1 1/2 lb boneless pork loin, cut into

1 fresh chilis for garnish
Recipe
Preparation
Cut an X on the bottom of each tomatillo and remove core. Drop into
boiling water briefly, 15 to 20 seconds; drain and peel off husks.
(If husks are hard to remove, drop tomatillos again into boiling
water to cover, boiling about 1 minute, or until husks soften).
Quarter tomatillos and place in a blender. Heat oil in a skillet over
medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until limp. Add to
blender, along with serranos, salt, pepper, chopped cilantro and
nopalitos. Process until mixture is coarsely ground. Place pork in
heavy pan or Dutch oven; add tomatillo mixture. Bring to a boil,
reduce heat, cover pan and simmer slowly until pork cuts easily with
a fork, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Serve garnished with cilantro sprigs
and whole chilis.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weight
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some reduced carb diet pointers:
* You can create really great smoothies using low carb yogurt.
I know, it is not really cooking, but if you must have smoothies you can make them with low carbohydrate yogurt and fruit. Obviously, you should make sure you use only fruit that is low in carbohydrates and the whole fruit as the fiber is beneficial.
* Understand the food labels
Watch out for advertizing that proclaims 'low carb' - check the actual nutritional information on the back of the package. A good number of are only a little reduced and in some cases still higher than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identical.
Superfoods containing carotenes
