General cooking tips
Microwave Tip : Microwave ovens use around 50 percent less energy than conventional ovens; they're most efficient for small portions or defrosting. For large meals, stovetop cooking is usually more efficient
Buy Seasonal Food : Food in season is the best you can buy. Apples taste better when they haven't been flown half way around the world. And buying in season encourages local producers who, boosted by factors like the rise in farmers' markets, are building a more sustainable food industry.

"good" foods include, canadian bacon, turkey breast, fish, fat-free cheeses, pistachio nuts, lowfat milk and some vegatables, like green beans, cauliflower and sprouts.
