2 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, mashed

1/2 can garbanzo beans - (19 oz can), drained
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 tsp cracked peppercorns
1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth
4 tsp grated Parmesan cheese
4 cup cooked pasta


Cook pasta until "al dente." In a large skillet, sauté the mashed garlic
in the olive oil. Add the garbanzo beans and the chicken broth. Stir
until warmed. Add the raisins and the spinach. Heat just until spinach is
wilted. Do not overcook.
Divide over cooked pasta. Top with Parmesan cheese and cracked
peppercorns. Serve immediately.

Comments: The key to this recipe is to have the pasta and "sauce"
completed at the same time. Do not overcook. This is a great recipe for
two cooks in the kitchen.

Dieting made easy

If you want to shed a few pounds and also better your all round health, without doubt you should decide on a meticulously prepared wholesome diet. In a perfect world, this must involve five portions of grains, cereals and vegetables on a daily basis and require the correct mix of protein, carbohydrates and fats.

In planning a meal plan, it is important to attempt to lower your intake of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.

When people first start dieting, they often look at chain store and well known food items referred to as 'low-fat'. To do this is frequently foolish, seeing that a food product may be lowered in fats, but whilst still remaining far too high in carbs & calories.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Occasionally when going through a normal morning, you believe that you need food but really you only need a cool drink of water or orange juice. The feelings of being thirsty and hungry are nearly the same, but one of them ends in a broken diet and the other leads to no damage.

Instead of concentrating on the many types of food that you really should remove from your daily routine, look at the healthy foods that you should bring into your daily routine. If you are able to insert some nutritious fruit and vegetables into your weight loss program, you will find that you feel full and have a substantially reduced risk of giving in to those damaging midday munchies.
