Recipe Preparation
In a heavy, 3-quart saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly
pour cornmeal into saucepan so that water does not stop boiling,
stirring to keep smooth. Reduce heat and simmer 20 to 25 minutes,
stirring often until mixture is stiff. Meanwhile, in a small
saucepan, heat tomato sauce, oregano, corn, hot pepper flakes and
pepper. When cornmeal is stiff, turn half into a serving dish and top
with half the sauce. Layer remaining cornmeal and sauce and let rest
to 5 to 10 minutes. Cut in squares and serve.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightRecognise the difference between hunger and thirst. At times when going through a hectic day, you imagine you feel hunger but if truth be told you just need a restorative tumbler of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite alike, but one can result in weight gain and the alternative is fine.
The case against low carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Remember, one point that is usually overlooked, it is very difficult (though certainly not impossible) for vegetarians to take up a low carb diet.
Moreover, it has been hypothesised that the kidneys may be given too much work to do and that the resulting change in blood acidity levels can cause bone damage, but some of the studies trying to test the theory have struggled to find real evidence of damaged kidneys or bone damage.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, chives and spring onions)
The onion, leek and garlic range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is precious little definitive proof published, allyl sulphides are also believed to help with colds, arteriosclerosis and fatigue.
Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so you should add them to your diet system.
