Article
Busy lives - quick, easy meals
By Chef, Richard Lipton
As we rush about in our busy lives, working, taking care of kids, pets and
significant others, we barely have time to throw together a decent meal for
ourselves.
However, there are delicious meals that can be made quickly without opening
a box to follow the directions.
Pork chops, sliced correctly, can be cooked very quickly and without a lot
of fuss. Salads are a great way to feed the family or ourselves quickly and
keep ourselves a little healthier in the process.
Whatever hot entrees might be left over at the end of the meal, you can easily
turn them into a soup for the next night's meal.
Of course, as always, recipes are merely guidelines to great meals, and
substitutions can be made to suit individual tastes. Seafood can be used instead
pork chops and even cooked as long as the above casserole, a firm-fleshed fish
(salmon or tuna) will mix well with the rest of the dish.
Enjoy these ideas for your next meal while trying to prepare meals for the family
in a hurry. Bon Appetit!

As we grow older, we are more prone to develop cancer. One of the most
common places for cancer to develop is in the colon. Studies have shown
that garlic helps protect the colon from developing cancer. So eat a bit of
garlic each day.

Fruit/vegetable in focus
Prickly pear - Opuntia ficus-indica
The Prickly Pear originates from Mexico. The unripe fruit have a green peel
and the ripe fruits can have a variety of colors; yellow, orange or red. The
meat is orange-yellow or red and has a few small seeds which can also be
eaten. The meat is very juicy, sweet and feels like that of a watermelon.
There are many small fine hairs on the peel which can irritated the skin, so
using gloves is advised when handling and cutting/serving. The Prickly Pear
is eaten plain, as appetizers, salads, and with cheese. The Prickly Pear lasts
a week in a plastic bag in a cool place, but in the refrigerator it can last 2-3
weeks. Is available all year round.
