Ro CEA Carol Hadsall By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent Carol Hadsall enjoys cooking, especially preparing casserole dishes or trying new recipes, when she has the time. Doing the accounting and tax forms for her husband, Bruce’s excavating business, chauffering her five- year-old son, Ray, to and from kindergarten, and working part time, does not allow her much leisure time. Never-the-less, Carol manages to find time to prepare some of the family’s favorites such as Chinese Pepper Steak, Pork Chop Casserole, Strawberry Pud- ding, or Apple Cake. She also likes to make Cheese Puffs as appetizers when they are enter- taining friends or relatives. A native of New Jersey, Carol the Back Mountain with her par- ents. Aftre she and Bruce were married, they moved to Dallas where they have been residing for the past seven years. In the very near future, the young couple with their son, Ray, plan to move to Harris Hill Road, Trucksville. When she has the time, Carol also enjoys sewing and other needlework. She usually makes most of the gifts she gives to pares for the dinner and enjoys doing whatever he can to help her, even if it is only waiting to taste it. Dallas Post readers.

The alternatives are salad bars, and they are sprout- ing up everywhere. ‘Many people assume salads are low in calories, and while this may be true for some, if you like potato or pasta salads, cole slaw, cottage cheese, pickled vegetables, etce- tera, you may be adding more calories than you realize,” says Joanne Prusko, M.S., R.D., public health nutrition consultant in the state Health Department’s South- western District. Prusko says that if you want to keep the caloric content of your salad low, you should remember that plain raw vegetables are lowest in calories. “Anything you add to them increases calories, sodium and cho- lesterol. For instance, pickled items are higher in calories and sodium than ‘their plain counterparts because of the sugar and salt added during the pickling process. Non- cubes, croutons, bacon bits, crum- bled egg yolks and salad dressing add calories, cholesterol, sodium, or combinations of the three. Prusko points out, however, that these added salad ingredients are not entirely without nutritional value. “Salads, especially those with raw vegetables, make important contri- butions to the diet. Not only are they high in fiber and low in calo- ries, they also provide vitamins A and C and fair amounts of other nutrients. The added salad ingredi- ents contribute nutrients such as calcium, protein and riboflavin, which are lacking in the vegetables. Add the extras for balance, flavor and nutritional value, but use them The importance of fiber in the diet continues to make headline news, as well as good nutrition sense. The National Cancer Institute as well as the National Academy of Sciences and the American Cancer Society, all recommend that high fiber foods be included in the diet by increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables, as well as whole grain cereals. Since only foods from plants con- tain dietary fiber, the produce sec- tion of the market should continue to be one of the growing focal points for consumer attention. Health consciousness is becoming a way of life for more and more Americans. California-Arizona Iceberg Let- tuce is the base for the majority of salads across the country. A few wise produce additions, and a low fat dressing can make a major contribution to a healthful daily diet. There are two types of dietary fiber-soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is found in beans, some fruits and vegetables, as well as oats and barley. It dissolves in water and may play a role in lowering blood choles- terol levels, as well as regulating the body’s use of sugar. Insoluble fiber, the type most often thought of when we hear th term fiber, does not dissolve in water. In fact, the vegetables and whle grains containing insoluble fiber absorb water, thus increasing sparingly if you want to stick to your diet,” she says. In addition to the salad bar, some restaurants are offering baked pota- toes and pasta salads. “The baked potato is a good source of vitamin C and both are very good sources of complex car- bohydrates. to diet bulk. The American Cancer Society suggests that a high fiber, low fat diet may help protect against colon and rectal cancer. Eating more vegetables, pur- chased from an abundant produce section, may be the first and easiest way for consumers to begin to change eating patterns and food habits. Salad consumption in the U.S. is on the increase, however, the quality of these salads can be enhanced with the addition of nutrient fiber-rich vegetables. Beauty Talks wid Rukh Did you ever wonder what gave a prune its wrinkles and sag? Lack of water will do the same for you. Moisturizers seal in moisture, they don't provide it.
