From Laura Dolson, your Guide to Low Carb Diets
380 million eggs recalled! Yikes! This is definitely one of the scarier of these waves of food recalls we've been getting in the past few years. On a totally different note, are you tempted to go get take-out food because you don't feel like cooking? Fixing healthy food doesn't have to take a lot of time! Here are recipes to help get food on the table in a hurry. (Be sure to keep paging down under "Featured Articles" for more.) Have a healthy, happy weekend! Laura

Massive Egg Recall in United States
I just heard updated info on the news this morning: there are now reported 2000 cases of salmonella in 17 states from these eggs, and this is only the beginning - the number is expected to go much higher. I have the information on the brands involved, symptoms to check for, etc. "Be careful out there!" Also, note the info from the Humane Society about cage-free and (especially) free-range eggs being much safer. What's the Difference?

Super-Easy Shrimp Scampi
The great thing about cooking with shrimp is how fast and easy it is - in fact, the biggest mistake cooks make with shrimp is cooking it too long, so it becomes rubbery. The very simplest way, with just garlic, lemon, and wine, can be made in less than ten minutes start to finish

Seared Scallops
Seafood in general cooks quickly. It's hard to think of a protein that cooks more quickly and is more delicious than scallops.

Chocolate Pecan Torte
I have received many compliments on this recipe, and get requests to bring it to gathers. The best part: it takes less than ten minutes to put it together! (It can also be cut into squares like brownies.)
