Recipe Preparation
Rice Cooker: Put the sherry or stock into the rice cooker with the
sherry or stock, and turn on the machine. Let the onion saute, as you
chop and add the garlic, mushrooms, carrot, and eggplant. Give the
pot a quick stir as you add each vegie. Add water if the vegetables
start to stick, Let the eggplant cook about a minute or so, then add
the lentils, rice, liquids, basil, and oregano. Cover, let it cook,
and allow to stand about 10 minutes when the cooker shuts off. Stir
in the parsley and serve.
Slow Cooker: Saute the vegies lightly, then add everything but
parsley to the crockpot. Cook on low if you want to ignore it all
day, or 3-4 hours on high. Add parsley and serve.
Stovetop: Saute the vegies, add everything but the parsley, cover and
bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 40-45 minutes, or until
liquid is absorbed. Stir in parsley.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weightMake sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some reduced carb diet pointers:
* Food labels can be misleading Don't trust food labeling that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the rear of the tin or package. Quite a few are only slightly less and in some cases still greater than a competitors standard brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are just the same.
* Use soya flour or soy baking mix. When you need to use flour for baking, substitute soya flour or a bake mix like Atkins baking mix. In many cases, you can change your most popular recipes that use standard wheat flour to use these low carbohydrate alternatives.
