Sylvia's comments: The kids at Irene's school loved it -- Irene came
home and asked me to make it again! I think it needs less fruit
spread and less pumpkin pie spice, and next time I'll use applesauce
for all the butter.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightIn deciding on a meal plan, it is important to attempt to moderate your consumption of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
Some low carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Make reduced carb bread crumbs for breaded foods. Although you can buy reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs, you may make them yourself by using reduced carb bread. Simply toast the low carb bread in the oven on a sheet of baking paper. Once it is well browned, grind it in your blender. Keep in an airtight jar or container.

( includes eschalot, chives and green onion)
The onion family of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is very little scientific evidence at hand, allyl sulfides are also thought by many researchers to reduce the symptoms of colds, sterilization and diabetes.
