The benefits of a probiotic witch hunt
Well, I have been really sick for about a week now, but that only means I have been watching more TV than usual, and I hadn't heard anything about this in the U.S. news. (Such as the fact that Dannon settled out of court earlier this year in a suit challenging the health claims of probiotics.)
I find Food Navigator stories quite enlightening sometimes! I am still too ill to be at all eloquent, so I'll simply leave you with the above link for now - definite food for thought, and a great place to bookmark.

Picante Sauce (Fresh Salsa) - sample recipe from Cooking TLC Vol. 1
One of my favorite recipes, to this very day!
1 cup finely chopped, fresh tomatoes
14 oz. can of diced tomatoes, with juices
2 tablespoons minced green onions
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro (may add more or less, to taste, I use 4-6 Tb.)
1/2 Haas avocado, diced (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon granular Splenda™
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 ounce chopped black olives (optional)
1 roasted minced hot jalapeno or habanera pepper OR 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
2 teaspoons ThickenThin Notstarch™ (optional, see variations)
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and allow flavors to combine for at least a couple hours before serving.
Keeps in refrigerator for 4-7 days (but never lasts half that long).
12 servings, each about 1/2 cup: 33 calories, 2 grams fat (0 grams saturated), 4 grams carb (1 gram fiber)
VARIATIONS:
To omit the NotStarch, I recommend straining off the juices (save them to use when seasoning ground beef for taco salads or wraps?) You can also try 2/3 tsp. guar gum instead, but the NotStarch really is worth having on hand.
You may use all canned tomatoes (2 cans total) with excellent results, or use 2 cans Mexican-style canned tomatoes (I prefer Rotel™) and skip the lime juice and green chilies.
If you like the samples, you'll LOVE the book - order today!
