RealAge Tip of the DAY for March 19, 2007
<!-- Title -->•Better Off Red
<!-- Full Text -->Beans may be a near-perfect health food -- especially if they're red.

We already know that beans are a great source of fiber and vegetable protein. But red kidney beans are also stellar when it comes to packing an antioxidant punch. In fact, red beans are right up there with blueberries when it comes to total antioxidant value. So brighten up your salads and stews by tossing in some crimson-colored beauties. Here's an easy Taco Salad recipe to get you started.

Gee, I wonder how kidney beans and blueberries would taste together? Blended into a dip. Probably not good, but who knows. I am actually going to try it.

Seriously though, I can't wait for blueberries to become cheaper. I buy ready-made frozen piecrust at the health food store. I toss berries, peaches, etc. with splenda (1/4 cup because I dont like pies too sweet), One tablespoon corn starch, a little nutmeg and that's it. Bake for 40 minutes at 425.
I eat pie for breakfast!

You know what? My taste has changed so much from the chemo I probably would not even know the difference! Go for it. hugs, Sandy
