culinary creations judy bonnell = My kitchen these days is looking rather cluttered. Peat pots surround every window and cover every surface. In planning my garden,' tend to cultivate the unusual. During the summer months our local Ontario produce is abundant and inexpensive. There are many local growers that offer a wonderful variety at roadside stands everywhere. Try something different this year. I find that vegetables like carrots, onions, broccoli, take up too much of your growing area and the yield is not that great. I like to enjoy my garden' all summer and not wait until the mp Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, May 2, 1995 -- 11 - fall to partake in the consumption of it. Growing a variety of greens can keep your salads different and delicious ull summer long. When growing a variety of salads types, you can pick from the baby stage on up. By cutting your lettuce you can often get a second growth from them. Compare the price of a head of broccoli in the summer (about 75 cents) to the cost of lettuce for a salad (about $1.00). The broccoli will take all summer to produce the head, while the lettuce is up in about three weeks and will continue to grow all summer. Check out your local garden centre to find numerous varieties of lettuce afid greens to start from seed in your garden. Plant a mixture of bitter and sweet. I begin with romaine, red and green leaf lettuce, spinach, endive, and then finish with anything else that I can find. By planting a variety of the seeds in stages every two to three weeks, your garden will be producing all summer. The yield is great and the product like none other. I also like to plant okra which grows very well here. The flowers are lovely and also edible. Remember if you eat the flower you have eaten the vegetable. They grow quite high, healthstyles deb mcdonald Fast foods can be extraordinarily high in fat because so many items are high in meat, are fried and are made of whole milk. But they need not do you in. The first question to ask about fast foods is, How often do you use them? If you visit a fast-food drive-in type restaurant only once a week, then the food consumed there accounts for only about 1 meal out of 20 and has little impact on your overall diet. The more often you visit fast-food places, the more important are the choices you make there. First, consider the choice of what place to visit. Places that sell tacos, hamburgers, pizza or other foods offer meals with different characteristic nutrient arrays & are rich in some nutrients. The old hamburger, french fries & soft drink meal for example, is more than adequate in protein, several Clark Cotomy Supply Co.

If you have until now habitually chosen the old standby (hamburger, fries & cola), the following are some other possibilities you may want to consider: * Except for pizza, fast-food meals are likely to be low in calcium. Choose a frozen yogurt or yogurt shake (low in fat too!). " * Hamburg & fries are low in vitamin A & folacin. The amount of lettuce & tomato provided for example, on a hamburger doesn't make 4 significant difference in your need for these nutrients. Make your next meal a large, fresh salad or include a generous serving of dark green vegetables. * Fast food are regrettably high in sodium; so high, in fact, that pegple on sodium-restricted diets have to stay away from them altogether. * It is possible to vary your calorie intake widely ina fast food place. If your energy allowance is low, the salads are a good choice (use about a quarter of the prepackaged dressing provided). Choose a small hamburger or fish sandwich to go with it if you are really hungry, or pick up a salad that comes with meat, cheese or egg. (People who need to lose weight can use fast foods as part of a diet plan, if they put their minds to it & make 'better' choices.) * And finally, because fast foods are short on variety, let them be part of a lifestyle in which they complement the other parts.
