2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped sweet onions
1 clove garlic, minced
4 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Mix in garlic, and cook until golden brown. Mix onions and garlic into casserole dish with the beans. Stir in the tomato sauce.

Ingredients
2 green onions, chopped
1 lemon grass, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 cup lime juice
1/3 cup fish sauce
1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 pounds (1 inch thick) steak fillet
1 head leaf lettuce - rinsed, dried and torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 English cucumber, diced
1 pint cherry tomatoes

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 pint yellow pear tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

ground red pepper to taste
salt to taste
What’s next
In a bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes, yellow pear tomatoes, green onions, garlic, basil, cilantro, black pepper, red pepper, and salt. Refrigerate 30 minutes and toss again before serving.
How to replace salt in your diet
Salt certainly adds a lot of flavor to a dish, but too much of it can cause health complications and bloatedness. So how do you cut back on salt without meals tasting as bland as cardboard?
Try adding liberal amounts of lemon and garlic. These are strong flavors that can help mask the lack of salt (garlic is also thought to be good for the heart, so that’s a bonus!). Look for salt-free seasonings, which are far better than salt substitutes. Also experiment with fresh herbs or some spices. Curry powder, for example, has so much flavor you won’t even miss the salt.
No-fat artichoke dip
Lose the fat, not the flavor. Here’s a delicious creamy artichoke dip that’s great for vegetables, crackers or toast. Try them with pitas for a simple gourmet lunch (bake the pitas at 400 degrees for 8 minutes for an extra crunch)
Ingredients
1 14-oz. can water-packed artichoke hearts, drained, finely chopped, and pressed in strainer to remove excess liquid
3/4 cup fat-free cream cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. freshly-ground white pepper
Salt to taste
What’s next
Mix all ingredients together in bowl. Put half of mixture in a blender, puree until smooth, and return to bowl with remaining mixture. Mix well to combine.
