Baked Tomatoes Stuffed With Orzo (5 Points)
5 1/3 oz orzo
4 large tomatoes, firm, ripe
sugar
2/3 tsp salt
black pepper
1/3 tsp dried oregano, rubbed
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese, part skim milk,
; cubed
2 2/3 tbsp reduced-calorie margarine
2/3 medium onion, finely chopped
1 1/3 pt lowfat chicken broth
2 2/3 tbsp parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Remove the center pulp and seeds from the tomatoes, hollowing them out
well. Lightly sprinkle into each tomato a little sugar, salt, pepper and
oregano; place four cubes of mozzarella in each tomato.
Preheat oven to 400-degrees.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and saute the onion in it until soft; stir in
the orzo, stirring well so each grain of pasta is coated. Pour in 2 cups
of the chicken broth, stir well, and simmer until it is absorbed, adding
more broth gradually until the orzo is about three quarters cooked; firmer
than al dente (I cooked mine longer--don't like pasta that firm). Taste it
as you go and cook until it's as firm as you like. Blend in the Parmesan,
stirring it in well.
Spoon the orzo mixture into the hollowed tomatoes, filling them. Place the
filled tomatoes in a casserole or baking dish with 1/2 cup of hot broth in
the bottom of the dish.
Bake, covered, for 15 minutes; remove the cover and cook an additional 10
minutes.

A few tips on healthy eating
If you enjoy eating, but want to regain your youthful figure and improve your all round physical condition, then, as most people know, you need to eat a thoughtfully designed wholesome dietary regime. At best, this should take in five measures of fruit/vegetables per day and include the right proportion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fat.
In deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to also attempt to reduce ingestion of fat, refined carbohydrates and salt.
When chosing foods for dieting, dieters usually direct your attention to retail store and brand name food items known as 'low in fat'. To do this is usually a miscalculation, given that a food can be very low in fat content, but whilst still remaining dangerously high in calories and carbohydrates.
Drink more water. Our bodies need water , it is necessary for our body's survival and is void of fat. Water is also good in that it fills a dieter's tummy and decreases sensations of emptiness. The recommended portions doctors insist that we should aim to consume as a minimum six cups of plain water every 24 hours.
Rather than concentrating on those types of food you ought to eliminate from your dietary regime, focus on the sensible foods that you might want to bring into your meal plan. If you inject some nutritious pulses and vegetables into your diet, you'll discover that stop feeling hungry and have a significantl;y lower likelihood of being tempted by those detrimental midday snacks.
