in the grocery store, there are two sections that i can just linger in all day long. one is the baking aisle (*sigh*) and the other is the produce section. i love to stare at the vegetables, have a new one strike my fancy, take my time choosing the best of the store's selection.

Bored with beef? Look no further. Leg of lamb is one of the leanest cuts of meat -- only 162 calories and 6.6 grams of fat per 3-ounce serving (compared with 196 calories and 11 grams of fat for beef).

For the perfect autumnal presentation, serve chili in a steamed butternut or acorn-squash "bowl." To make, simply halve the squash, remove seeds, place halves upside-down in a shallow baking dish and microwave on high 5-7 minutes, until fork-tender.

Many people in Libya did not cook in a healthy way.
Whatever they cook, all had to have tomatoes in it (except the sweet dishes of course…) There had been a recent study abt that way of cooking fm Jordan. Many Libyans went there to be treated medically.
