PREPARATION
Recipe Preparation
Cut potatoes lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices.
Spray a steamer rack, opened flat, with nonstick vegetable cooking
spray. Place rack in a large saucepan or dome-lidded, deep electric
skillet. Add water to a depth of 1 to 1 1/4 inches. Bring to boiling.
Arrange potato slices over one-third of the rack. Cover and steam for
eight minutes. Add salmon steaks and top each with two lemon slices.
Cover and steam for six minutes more. Add snow peas and mushrooms.
Cover and steam four to five minutes longer or until fish flakes
easily with fork and vegetables are tender.
Divide onto two dinner plates or arrange on a large serving platter.
Garnish with fresh dill, if desired. Serve with Zesty Dill Sauce.
Zesty Dill Sauce preparation: In a small bowl, combine all
ingredients for sauce. Makes about six tablespoons sauce. Nutritional
information: One tablespoon of the dill sauce contains 30 calories, 3
grams of fat and 1 milligram of cholesterol.
Cook's Notes: A 5 1/2 inch collapsible metal steamer, opened flat,
works well in a large saucepan or deep skillet. When adding foods,
cover and adjust heat to maintain water at vigorous boil. so the pan
is filled continuously with steam. Steam can burn so remove the lid
by tilting it away from your face. Use hot pads and remove food
carefully. Check water level when steaming foods that require longer
cooking times. If necessary, add boiling water to maintain steaming
process.
Menu suggestion: Serve with a salad of assorted salad greens (Bibb,
romaine, curly red or green lettuce) in individual salad bowls. Top
with cucumber slices and fresh grapefruit segments. Serve the salad
with your favorite reduced-calorie creamy cucumber or Italian salad
dressing.

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 argument against low carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Remember, one fact that is usually overlooked, it is very hard (though not totally impossible) for vegetarians to follow a reduced carb diet.
Reducing carbohydrates may mean missing out on vital nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which must be part of any sensible diet, in particular those obtained from vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, onions and welsh onion)
The onion and garlic family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is not enough, definitive proof present, allyl sulphides are also thought by many experts to reduce symptoms with colds, sterilization and insomnia.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be a part of every diet system.
