Recipe Preparation
Pat Piper or Sonoma, California, sends us her recipe rather
assertively called Pat's Famous and Healthful Low-Cholesterol Salad
Dressing. She first tried a balancing act of 1 to 1 (equal parts oil
and vinegar). But overly tart results pushed her back to traditional
ratios of 3 (oil) to 1 (vinegar).
She then elected to combine predominantly monounsaturated olive oil
with three significantly polyunsaturated vegetable oils, hoping to
bring better nutrition by way of variety. Liking the concept of
variety, she also combined several vinegars.

oil, soy oil, peanut oil, balsamic vinegar, cider vinegar, garlic,
blue cheese, soy sauce, dry mustard, pepper, and basil. Makes about 1

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyWhen deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
Some reduced carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Replace sugar with splenda. Many recipes that need sugar can be modified to make use of splenda instead. It is not exactly the same so you will need to do a bit of trial and error and it may not work for everything, but it gives pretty good results once you have it cracked.
* You can make delicious smoothies by using low carb yogurt. I know, you can't really describe it as cooking, but if you love smoothies you can make perfectly acceptable alternatives by using low carb yogurt and your favorite fruit. Obviously, you will need to ensure you use fruit that is low in carbohydrates and the whole fruit as the fiber will help.
