Recipe Ingredients
2/3 cup butter or margarine
1 cup unsifted flour
4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp marjoram
2 qt hot milk
1 1/4 qt cooked elbow macaroni -- (2
3/4 cup uncooked)
1 1/2 lb cooked turkey -- diced (5
1 cups)
10 oz processed cheddar cheese --
1 shredded (2 1/2 c)
3/4 cup pimientos -- chopped
1 topping for each casserole
1/4 cup shredded cheese
Recipe Preparation
Line four 8x8x2-inch baking pans with heat-resistant freezer wrap.
Allow enough extra wrap to fold over top. Use one pan for each six
servings or one-fourth of the recipe. Do not line pans for food to be
served without freezing.
Melt butter. Stir in flour and seasonings. Stir in hot milk slowly.
Cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in macaroni, turkey,
cheese, and pimientos. Pour one-fourth of mixture into each baking
pan. Spread mixture well to avoid air pockets.
TO SERVE WITHOUT FREEZING: Preheat oven to 350B0 F. (moderate).
Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheese over macaroni mixture in baking pan.
Bake 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.
TO FREEZE: Cool for 30 minutes at room temperature. Complete
wrapping by pulling paper up over top of food. Put edges of wrap
together and fold several times so paper lies directly on top of
food. Fold ends of freezer wrap over the top and seal with freezer
tape. Label with name of food, date of freezing, and last date the
food should be used for best eating quality (about 6 months). Freeze
immediately for 10 to 12 hours before removing packages from the pans.
TO HEAT FROZEN CASSEROLE: Preheat oven to 350B0 F. (moderate). Remove
freezer wrap. Place food in baking pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded
cheese over frozen macaroni mixture. Bake 1 1/4 hours or until
mixture is bubbly at edges and center is hot.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tipsIf you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
Some low carb diet pointers:
* Make reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs for deep fried or oven baked foods. Although you can buy reduced carb breadcrumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using reduced carb bread. All you have to do is simply toast the low carb bread in a gas or electric oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is hard, whizz it in your food mill. To store, keep in a tupperware jar or container.
* Know what is in your food Don't trust food packaging that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the back of the package. A good number of are only slightly less and in some instances still greater than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identical.
Superfoods containing carotenes

These fruits and vegetables are rich in alpha-carotene and beta-carotene believed by nutritionalists to play a major part in helping prevent cancer, spefically cancer of the stomach and lesophagus. A good number also help you lose weight, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program.
