Prestonwood Notebook
You may have noticed that this
column was missing from last
mcmth’s issue of The Progress.
Hiat’s because I spent much of the
month with my mother in Long-
vmw, Texas. She had a heart attack
and subsequent quadruple bypass.
She seems to be doing well now,
but as is almost always the case
with heart attack patients, she is
having to make some dietary
changes, which is added stress to
an already stressful situaticn. (Cut
the fat and tiie sodium? The very
thought gives me a mild case of
angina!)
Ironically, just before mother’s
heart attack, I was in the beginning
stages of planning the next several
ccdumns around recipes for special
needs diets. For instance, my friend
and neighbor, Nell Rimmer,
prepared a low-fat creamy desert
for my family and had agreed to
share it with readers of this column.
I thought it would also be nice to
share scnne dessert recipes for
diabetics and low sodium/low fat
entrees, basically any recipes for
people on restricted diets, because
as a lover of good food, my heart
go^ out to people whose health
depends on these restrictions.
Are you or someone you love on
a restricted diet? Is there a particu
lar Qpe of food craving you have
and would like an alternative recipe
for? Or perhaps you have a particu
larly gx)d recipe for a restricted
diet that you would like to share. If
so, please fax it altmg with the
name of its originator, and your
name and pbone/fax number to me
at 468-9335. In the meantime,
here’s my family’s favorite low-fat,
easy snack recipe. Some members
prefer this snack made with Granny
Smith apples, some with Red Deli
cious. Some like the apples raw,
some cooked fcx three minutes in
the microwave. However you like
your apples, this, of course, is the
time of year to try them.
What is this recipe? Simply a
cored, peeled and sliced apple
sprinkled with a mixture of 1/2
^poon of ^ple pie spice to one
teaspoon of sugar. If you can have
some fat and sodium and prefer
your ^le slices cooked, you may
top the apples with about a
teaspoon of margarine. Fx those
whose sweet tooth requires a
creamier dessert, here is the deli
cious dessert Nell Rimmer served
our family.
I wasn’t home when Nell brought
it over, but husband James urged
me (he didn’t really have to try too
hard) to try it, saying, "Nell says
this is low-fat."
After tasting it, I teased him in an
admonishing way. "James," I said.
"I’m sure Nell was being facetious
when she said this was low-fat!"
The next time I saw her (at Morris-
vilie Elementary where she works
in the cafeteria), I made a good-
natured verbal jab about that "low-
fat" dessCTt she had the nerve to
teing to my house. When she as
sured me she wasn’t kidding about
it being low-fat, I went home and
bad another helping!
