Tip of the week
Cooking:
Try substituting kids lunch bag with lemonade instead of water once or
twice a week. They'll be thrilled.
Health:
Did you know that most sodas contain about 6 tsp. of sugar per 8 oz.?
Instead of soda, grab unsweetened decaf brewed tea, or plain water with a slice or lemon
or lime.
Cookery term
Dry Rub:
Highly concentrated blend of herbs and spices that is rubbed all
over food before cooking to impart flavor.

The
phytochemical most studied in tomatoes is a carotenoid called lycopene. The verdict: this
compound may prevent prostate cancer. A study reported that men who ate ten or more
servings of tomato-based foods a week had only half the risk of developing prostate cancer
as those who ate fewer than two servings. Tomato sauce had the most significant effect.
And yes, even ketchup is rich in lycopene. Tomatoes are compelling for lung and stomach
cancers as well. Lycopene may also be one reason fruits and vegetables lower the risk of
heart disease. A study compared lycopene levels of people in ten European countries; those
with the highest levels ran only half the risk of a heart attack.
