Garlic Green Beans Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 lb green beans, ends trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp red-wine vinegar
1 tbsp walnut or olive oil
1/8 tsp salt (optional)
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Recipe Preparation
I tried this recipe from Jane Brody's "Good Food Gourmet" for
Thanksgiving last year and my family really loved it! Steam beans for
5 to 7 minutes or until tender crisp. Rinse briefly under cold water
to preserve color, but do not chill. Cover and keep warm. In a large
bowl, combine garlic and remaining ingredients. Add warm green beans
and toss until well coated. If desired, you can reheat in microwave
before serving. If you don't want such a strong flavor of garlic,
simmer the unpeeled cloves of garlic in a cup of water for 5 minutes
before peeling and mincing. I don't think the original recipe is too
strong though.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weightMake sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some low carb diet guidlines:
* Use soya flour or baking mix. When you have to use flour for baked goods, substitute soy flour or a baking mix such as Atkins soy baking mix. Most of the time, you may convert your most popular recipes that use standard wheat flour to use these alternatives.
* It is possible to make wonderful smoothies by using low carbohydrate yogurt. I know, you can't really describe it as cooking, but if you really want smoothies you can make perfectly acceptable alternatives by using low carbohydrate yogurt and fruit. Clearly, you will need to ensure you only make use of fruit that is low in carbs and use the whole fruit as you need the fiber.
