Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 375øF.

cookie sheet or in a shallow roasting pan until the flesh is tender,
45 minutes to 1 hour.
3. Combine the walnuts with the olive oil and spread on a cookie
sheet. Roast the walnuts alongside the squash until they turn deep
brown, 7-8 minutes. Set aside.
4. Meanwhile, in a heavy pot, saut‚ the leek in the olive oil for 1-2
minutes. Add the sage and five-spice powder. Cover and cook until the
leek is soft, about 10 minutes./ Add the stock, salt and pepper and
bring to a simmer, then uncover.
5. Peel, core, and dice the apple. Add it to the simmering stock and
cook until soft, about 15 minutes.
6. Remove the squash from its shell. Dice and add to the pot. Simmer
for a few minutes, then pur‚e the soup by passing it through a food
mill or by pulsing it in a blender or food processor.
Can be prepared several hours ahead.
7. When ready to serve, gently reheat the soup. Serve hot with roasted
walnuts sprinkled on top.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Drink 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.
Some reduced carbohydrate diet tips:
* Fiber is essential
Cutting the carbs in your meals often leads to reduction in fiber also. Look at reduced carb recipes that are fiber-rich to redress this.
* Use low carb chocolate bars for chocolate muffins.
If you have taken the time to convert your best loved chocolate cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soy flour, you don’t want to put in those high carbohydrate sugar-rich chocolate. Break up a reduced carbohydrate choccie bar into tiny pieces and use that as an alternative.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes parsley, turnip greens and sweet potatoes)
These amazing fruit and veg have high levels of alpha and beta carotenes believed by doctors to help in cancer prevention, particularly those cancers involving the esophagus and stomach. Many also help you lose weight, so you should add them to your weight loss program.
