Yes .. that's the potato! Did you know that ounce for ounce, potatoes have fewer calories than fresh peas, Lima beans, or sweet corn, yet potatoes come so near to being the complete food that one can survive healthily on a diet of potatoes only, plus a very small amount of fat, for as much as 5 months!
Perhaps that's why sometimes a baked potato with a smidgen of sour cream and perhaps just a wee bit of finely shredded cheddar cheese can taste so great as a mid-day meal! And if you ever really care to indulge ... try our cheesy, smashed potatoes - many customers say they're to die for!!

Healthy, Hearty and oh, so delicious!
Oats deserve attention for their nutritional value, especially for their fiber (1/2 of which is insoluble and aids in digestion and the other 1/2 is the soluble type that lowers cholesterol. All oats are whole grains and still have the bran (oat bran is the outer layer of the oat kernel only).
100 grams of dry, rolled oats contains 380 calories, 67 gms. of carbohydrate, 16 gms. of protein, 6 gms. of fat as well as a good supply of thiamin, vitamin E, iron and phosphorus.
Oatmeal is the "secret ingredient" in my meatloaf, replacing bread crumbs and resulting in a moist, flavorful and nutritious dish!
