3. Mix together tofu, potatoes, apple, 3 of the eggs, peas, and
onion. Add enough mayonnaise to make it creamy or to taste. Add dill
weed, fresh if possible. Add enough vinegar, prepared mustard, or
Durkee's Sauce (basically a mustardvinegar sauce) to give it a tang.

paprika for beauty.
Variations and substitutions:
Broil the tofu to reduce fat. It won't have a nicy chewy texture,
though. Substitute chicken for the tofu (as in the original recipe).
Substitute plain, nonfat yogurt for some of the mayonnaise to reduce
fat content. Converted by MMCONV vers. 1.40

Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsIn planning a meal plan, the important thing is to try to cut down your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some reduced carb diet guidlines:
* Use soy flour or baking mix. When you need to use flour for baked goods, substitute soy flour or a baking mix such as Atkins bake mix. In most cases, you may convert your most popular recipes that use conventional wheat flour to use these lowcarb alternatives.
* Eat regular meals Most reduced carb recipes are, errmm.., low in carbs. Your body must have energy, and carbohydrates are a fast acting energy source. A reduced carbohydrate diet needs great care in monitoring you energy levels, as the energy provided by non-carbohydrate sources is far slower to act.
