Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, January 24, 1995 -- 11 _+ culinary creations judy bonnell healthstyles deb mcdonald - n Pizza with pizazz! Here are some ideas to suit every taste bud in the family. Pizza as a starter, brunch item, evening snack or a delectable dinner. Don't panic, the dough is simple. Buy it! Most grocery stores carry a ready made dough. If you would like to stick with this traditional type of dough, flour your counter top, bread board, or cutting board and your rolling pin. Then roll to your preferred thickness or shape. Alternative bases for the traditional dough are tortillas, a basic pie crust, pita bread or foccacia, (an Italian flat bread ° available ready made), 1.G.A. carries this. Begin building your pizza, you have more alternatives here also. Begin with a base of tomato sauce or extra virgin olive oil. For an oriental flare use some sesame seed oil. For vegetarians, yo may choose to use diced fresh tomato. For toppings, you can choose to be as elaborate as you like. We won't discuss the pineapple mushroom variety. Being married to a vegetarian, I will begin with vegetarian suggestions. Diced eggplant, fresh chopped garlic, roasted red pepper, fresh spinach, capers, leeks, shallots, artichokes, asparagus, grated carrot, hot peppers, belgian endive, sundried tomatoes, red cabbage, to name a few. Select your favorites and begin to build. For cheese, should you choose 'rings). to use it, one may sprinkle parmesan, feta, brie, or for the non dairy vegetarians, try goat cheese, or cheese flavored tofu (Goat Products & varieties of tofu are available at Herbally Yours on Mary St. in Port Perry). Goat cheese is a favorite of mine and I'm sure, soon to be a favorite of yours. For that oriental touch, use sprouts of any kind, water- chestnuts, fresh seafood, bok choy, tofu, sesame seeds, a few drops of teriyaki, some thin sliced beef, fresh garlic, diced pork, chopped green onion, are just a few ideas. "Gourmet Pizza" as referred to by many restaurants, may include combinations of the above mentioned and smoked salmon, smoked trout, smoked chicken (yes, smoked chicken should be pink) sardines, anchovy, scallops, lobster, crab meat, eel, or calamari (squid The variations and combinations are endless. Season your base of the pizza, be it the tomato, )r sauce. Use spices or flavored oils. For spices and herbs: oregano, basil, tarragon, chives, parsley, or crushed chili pepper. In flavored oils, there is chili, garlic, sesame and herb flavored. Toronto's Chinatown is a wonderful spot to find these. | can't begin to express how imperative it is to let your imagination go and experiment with the combinations of flavors and textures when cooking. The results can" be exhilarating, if you love to partake in food as much as I'do. The finishing touch can be the wine of your choice.

Do you really belive that the successful 'maintainers' have just 'gone' on a diet once in their lifetime? The truth is that the majority of them have battled time and time again and several diets later to control their weight From a whole gamut of so-called solutions, from meal replacement, diet pills, fad diets, weight-loss clinics to resorting to their own endeavours, they have experienced the emotional roller coaster. But something along the way happened. They found their own personal plan; one that was right for them. They did it their way! For some people it may be finding an adequate balance between exercise and an approach to a healthier eating plan, thus a positive lifestyle change. For others, behaviour modification is a key factor in helping to relinquish some stubborn eating habits. Others may be attracted to a weight loss support group and networking with co-members. Many of them benefit from a more personal and confidential one-on-one counselling for guidance and perhaps to address COLOSTOMY, ILEOSTOMY, UROSTOMY APPLIANCES 31 Years Experience Now Located in Scugog 15503 East 1/4 Line, Nestleton (905) 986-1164 or Toll Free 1-800-371-0163 Pickup or 1-2 Day Delivery Service I -------------------- ( SUZY POMEMAKER Need Help Around the House?

So many of us, particularly women, fall prey to weight-loss schemes that promise speedy results in a short amount of time. In desperation, we will go to almost any length, perhaps putting our health in jeopardy, just to attain this ideal, The bottom line is that if a plan places too many restrictions on food choices and is bounded by somewhat inflexible rules, it is going to fail (not you!). It is really important 'how' you lose your weight. Searching for a program that not only meets your nutritional requirements but is sensitive to your needs and preferences, as well as preparing you for maintenance, Are key considegations to take into account. Just about any plan will work for everyone, but no one plan will work for everyone! Some techniques that 'maintainers' have carried through to success include: * moving the scale out of sight and focusing less on frequent weight-ins. * leading a more active lifestyle (sucks as walking on a regular basis). * focusing their eating plan on better alternatives and choices which satisfy them as well as providing variety' * eating in response to their hunger cues. You may.want to split up your plan into smaller units throughout the day (also known as 'grazing'). * developing a healthier lationship with food; becomi more knowledgeable about it. * using the same size dinner plate but presenting more vegetables than meat on it. * keeping a personal diary of your food intake, your emotions, feelings and specific problem times of the day for self- confirmation. It takes time to formalize your own plan for success. What worked for a friend may not necessarily be designed for you. So take time inf selecting a program.
