Summary for diet and cancer research, best thanksgiving recipes

Fresh Start Monday

Dear Usman,

Good morning! We frequently get requests to bring out some of our best recipes for the Thanksgiving holiday, so we've picked three of our favorite dishes to impress your loved ones!

We also have a few requests for our Food and Health Calendar and we have made one for 2014. It is available for special purchase or free with a subscription to our premium membership service, Communicating Food for Health.

Lastly, since November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, you will find a summary of the research we have published on diet and prostate cancer. It is interesting that the incidence for this cancer goes up when the risk factors for cardiovascular disease are present.

Keep your requests and feedback coming!

This week:
  • Communicating Food for Health Membership
  • Cracking the Vault: Diet and Pancreatic Cancer Summary
  • Recipe: Holiday Tossed Salad

Maple Baked Pecan Pie

Serves: 10 | Serving Size: Makes 1 pie (10 slices). Serving: 1/10th slice
Total Time: 70 min | Prep: 10 min | Cook: 60 min

Ingredients:

1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
6 egg whites or 3/4 cup nonfat egg substitute
1 tablespoon melted margarine
1 cup light, reduced-calorie pancake syrup
3/4 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup Grape-Nuts cereal
9-in ready pie crust, unbaked

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and 1/4 cup egg whites (or egg substitute).

Mix smooth and add the rest of the egg whites along with the melted margarine and the reduced-calorie syrup. Do not overmix because air bubbles will form.

Place the pecan pieces and the cereal in the pie shell. Put the pie pan onto an oven rack and then pour the filling into the pan over top of the nuts and cereal.

Bake until the center is firm, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Cut the pie into 10 pieces and serve warm or chilled. Store leftover pie in the refrigerator.
