General kitchen advice

Microwave Tip : Microwave ovens use around 50 percent less energy than conventional ovens; they're most efficient for small portions or defrosting. For large meals, stovetop cooking is usually more efficient


Buy Local Food : See if you can find out where your food has gone before it gets to your plate. You may be suprised by the results. Often it will make financial sense for companies to transport food enourmous distances by planes, boats and lorries. This dosn't take the environmental cost into account (which of course is likely to lead to greatly increased economic costs in the long term).


Diet types

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially devised by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight reduction diet, but some people discover that they actually reduce a few pounds by following it.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to limit the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts the body in a balanced state which is a lot more wholesome than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't need to build up stores of fat.
The key technique of the diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 3 fish oils.

Ingredients And Procedures

9 Lasagne noodles

-(OR as much as needed) 1 lb Tofu

1/2 c Tomato paste (or sauce)

1 -to:

2 c Tomato sauce

-(as much as desired) 1 bn Chard (or spinach)

3 tb Nutritional yeast

1/2 ts Salt

1 ts Thyme

1 ts Basil

3 tb Canola oil

3 sm Onions; -OR-

1 lb Mushrooms

3 Celery stalks

1 1/2 c Cauliflower

Mash up the tofu in a bowl and add salt, nutritional yeast, spices, tomato paste. Chop the celery, caulflower, and onion finely and saute in oil. When mostly cooked add the mushrooms, sliced. When the mushrooms are done, add the vegetables to the tofu and mix well. Cook the lasagne noodles in water until done. This can be done beforehand to save time. Grease your casserole pan lightly with some oil to help prevent sticking. Place a layer of noodles down and spoon some tomato sauce over it. Put a layer of tofu/veggies down. Saute the chard (or spinach) in a pan with just a little bit of oil. When completely cooked down and soft, add half to the lasagne, spreading evenly over the layer. Add more sauce then noodles, then tofu than another layer of chard. Top with more sauce, more noodles and a large amount of sauce (to prevent any burning or drying out of the noodles when they're cooked). Preheat oven to about 350 or 375 and cook roughly 35 minutes, or until bubbly and hot. SERVE! I guarantee it'll be among the best lasagne you've ever had....
