Recipe of the Week November 4, 2007 - Feed the Carb Monster

Has the autumn chill got you craving carbohydrate comfort food? Today's Recipe of the Week brings you satisfying carbohydrate-rich recipes that are packed with healthy nutrients and flavor and they will not launch you into a wicked carb-cycle. I promise! All recipes are made of foods low on the Glycemic Index - a measure of how your blood glucose levels are affected by food - so they will stick with you without causing a rapid rise (and then drop) in blood glucose. These great comfort soups will help keep you feeling full longer, help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight, and provide you with more consistent energy throughout the day.

Even though the carb-count appears high on these recipes keep in mind these are healthy carbohydrates necessary for healthy organs and metabolism. They are also rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. These are the good carbs and they are just as effective at taming the carb monster as crackers, cookies and chips; things that cause a rapid rise in blood glucose and result in weight gain.

Starting with today's newsletter you will notice the addition of "Vegetarian Friendly" on certain recipes that comply with a vegetarian diet.
