Recipe Ingredients
3 eggplants
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tbsp minced parsley (or onion, basil or, anchovies)
1 lemon, juice only
1 salt and pepper
Recipe Preparation
This makes a dip that is delicious on raw vegetables or spread on
French bread, and is good as an appetizer, snack or light lunch.
HALVE THE EGGPLANTS LENGTHWISE and place under a broiler, 2 inches
from the flame. Broil for 50 minutes, turning once, until very soft.
Scoop out the flesh and discard the seed strips. Pass through the
coarse blade of a food mill or coarsely mash by hand. Add garlic to
taste (be careful, the taste becomes stronger with time). Beat in the
olive oil. Add the parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightDrink 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.
The case against low carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Remember, one point that is usually overlooked, it is very hard (although certainly not impossible) for vegetarians to follow a reduced carbohydrate diet.
Eliminating carbs might mean missing out on vital nutrients from healthy foods which must be part of any well adjusted diet, specifically those obtained from grains, vegetables and fruits.
Super foods containing lycopene
(includes apricots, red peppers & tomato)
Lycopene is a non-synthetic chemical compound and part of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. Lycopene is behind the deep red hue of quite a few foods.
Intrestingly, unlike many nutritional compounds, lycopene does not degrade if cooked, but is in fact increased in efficacy by being heated.
. Lycoprene's key value is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to be an asset in the fight to reduce the chances of cancer.
It is the most potent eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It's also thought to curtail the progression of atherosclerosis.
