Food and cooking tips

Oven Tips : Close the oven door gently - slamming forces out the hot air.


Buy Local Food : The most local food of all comes from your own garden. Plant a new garden, enlarge the one you already have, or extend your growing season by using row covers and cloches.


Weight loss

A low calorie weight loss regime

In a nutshell, low calorie diet states that if you intend to diet successfully, the important thing to eat less calories than you need.

So what is a calorie?
The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. The 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If something has more calories, then it will will give you more energy to use when your body converts it.

Examples of low calorie foods include cabbage, cucumbers, apricots, steaks, burgers and chilis, and low-fat cheese.

Ingredients And Procedures

4 c Dry cornbread crumbs

(from your favorite NON- SWEET cornbread recipe) 4 c Dry white bread crumbs

1/2 c Butter or margarine

2 Onions, chopped

6 Ribs celery (including

-some tops), chopped 1/2 c Chopped pecans or walnuts

1 cn Corn, undrained, OPTIONAL

Chicken broth/turkey stock -to moisten Sage, thyme, salt and -pepper to taste As a Californian, married into a Southern family, I can warn you that the traditional cornbread stuffing probably isn't gonna be to his taste. The first time I had the stuff, I found it gritty, nasty, and just plain wierd. Wes, on the other hand, was less than enthralled by the sage-laden stuff that *I* think ought to go into a bird. Now, we compromise, with a dressing that we both enjoy. Crumble the cornbread and white bread into a big bowl. Melt the butter in a large frying pan, add the onions and celery, and cook over low heat until the vegetables are soft, but not browned. Dump the butter/vegetable mixture over the bread. Stir in the nuts, canned corn and its liquid (if used), seasonings. Add broth to moisten to the consistancy you like (Western-style dressing tends to be a bit dryer than the Southern version).
