General cooking tips

Buy Local Food : Check out farmers markets, roadside farm stands and tailgate markets (where parking lots are temporarily transformed into areas of commerce), and don’t be afraid to ask questions about where the food is grown.

Time for cooking is often in short supply, but you can cut cooking time in half by making large batches and eating the leftovers another day. In an age when the average American spends only 32 minutes a day preparing food, strategy is crucial to increasing your consumption of local food.

Dieting tips

The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a weight loss system invented by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats"
Dr. agatston developed his system for his cardiac patients, as a consequence of his detailed analysis of scientific data on other weight loss regimes.
"good" foods include, lean cuts of beef, chicken breast, fish and shellfish, fat-free cheeses, peanut butter, lowfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like split peas, eggplant and sprouts.

2 Lb. Italian sausage links

2 C. dry white wine

2 Cloves garlic -- minced

1 Medium onion -- finely chopped

5 C. chopped cabbage

1 Can tomatoes -- (28 oz.) cut up
