It's one of the simplest party foods to make: Top a small slice of Italian bread with a gorgeous mixture of tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and basil and voila -- you've got bruschetta. And though that piece of bread doesn't yield much nutritional value, the marriage of tomatoes and olive oil scores top marks for disease prevention. Tomatoes contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant found to ward off cancer and heart disease. You've no doubt heard about the healthy fats found in olive oil -- well, in addition, that oil actually helps your body absorb some of the nutrients in the tomatoes, says Melinda Johnson, RD, National Spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.

2/2/2012 02:27:51 AM Report AbuseSo, you say not to eat tuna tartare when it is served on bread, but tell us that bruschetta is ok?!?!
12/19/2011 12:24:11 PM Report AbuseWhen using the print all slides option we need them to print as seperate pages so they can be kept and used for future reference!
11/28/2011 02:33:54 AM Report AbuseI agree...too time consuming to look at..so I end up deleting all of it and continue on with my other e-mails!
5/2/2011 04:58:41 PM Report Abuse"print all slides" used to work, but it's apparently not there anymore. since it's been gone, I just don't bother. I don't have the time!
11/15/2010 08:59:20 AM Report AbuseIf you click on print all slides underneath the pictures you can see them all at once!! It doesn't automatically print them all when you push that!
12/30/2009 04:40:03 PM Report AbuseI like the slide shows, I don't like the fact that it takes 5 minutes to load every time you click a page. Can't you guys upgrade it so it slides easily while staying on the same page?
12/23/2009 12:54:50 PM Report AbuseI agree wholeheartedly.
12/22/2009 05:24:14 PM Report AbuseI totally agree! A list or at least thumbnails so you can see it all at a glance!
12/22/2009 11:21:08 AM Report AbuseI never have time to get through all the slides either. But I do love the articles. One long page would be so much better...
12/22/2009 10:57:42 AM Report AbuseI agree too. I look at the first slide and see that it's a slide show, let out a deep sigh of dread and continue on if I have time.
12/19/2009 04:30:08 PM Report AbuseMe, too! I want to see all the recipes listed at least with links to the recipe. I don't have time to go through a whole slideshow to see if there are any that I'm interested in so most of the time I don't bother to look!!
12/17/2009 09:20:32 AM Report AbuseI agree
12/11/2009 11:29:41 PM Report AbuseI wish I could just get the whole list at one view instead of having to forward to each slide.
