Briami - Greek Vegetable Casserole Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 eggplant
2 lb zucchini
4 medium potatoes
2 green peppers
1 red pepper
2 medium onions
1 cup olive oil
4 medium tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp sugar
1 salt & pepper, to taste
Recipe Preparation
(1) Prepare the vegetables: Cut the eggplant, zucchini and potatoes
in bite sized chunks (do not peel the zucchini or the eggplant).
Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers and slice them into
strips. Peel and slice the onions. Dice the tomatoes.
(2) Saute' the vegetables except the tomatoes in the olive oil in
small batches. Saut' each batch for 2 or 3 minutes, then remove
from the pan, trying to drain some of the oil so that enough oil
is left for the next batch. When you're done, most (if not all)
of the oil should be gone from the pan.
(3) Place the saute'ed vegetables in a baking dish and toss them
briefly so that you won't get only one kind of vegetable in one
place.
(4) Add the tomatoes into the pan and saut' for a couple of minutes.
Crush the garlic and add to the tomatoes. Add the sugar, salt and
pepper to taste and simmer for another minute.
(5) Pour the tomato sauce on top of the vegetables and bake at 350
deg. F or until the vegetables are tender.
(6) Serve with plenty of fresh bread and, if you like, some feta
cheese on the side.
RATING Difficulty: easy. Time: 30-45 minutes preparation, 1 hour
baking. Precision: No need to measure.

Weight loss hints and tipsIn planning a meal plan, the most important step is to make efforts to lower your intake of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is really safe for you?
Eating more animal-based products may lead into high consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which most authorities believe will increase the risk of heart disease.
Remember, one fact that is often overlooked, it is very hard (although not technically impossible) for vegetarians to adopt a reduced carbohydrate diet.
Superfoods containing flavonoids
(inlcudes cranberry, kale, soy and tea)
The large family of compounds known as flavonoids which are present in these natural foods are thought to have properties in preventing cancer.
Medical experts studying the nutritional effects of flavonoids believe that they may also have numerous other health benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-dermatitis and anti-platelet properties.
The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime.
