Recipe
Preparation
1. Heat 2 tbs oil in a large wide saucepan. Stir in the scallions and

wheat and rice. Saute, stirring, until coated with butter, about 2
min.

taste. Saute, stirring constantly, until the walnuts are golden and
fragrant.
4. Spoon the pilaf into a serving dish and sprinkle the top with the
dates and sauteed walnuts.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tips
If 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.
The case against reduced carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Many scientific studies over the years have shown that exessive consumption of animal fat can result in greater risk of cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses.
Eliminating carbohydrates might mean missing out on needed nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which should be part of any well adjusted diet, specifically those that we get from vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Foods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes citrus fruits, cabbage, scarlet runner bean and basil)
The nutrients called 'flavonoids' discovered in these fruit, vegetables and pulses are thought to have properties in preventing cancer.
Doctors researching the properties of flavonoids believe they also have most other health benefits, amongst them, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory capabilities.
The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your diet system.
