Ok, Can I have a do over? I got so excited about starting a blog for recipes that all I wanted to do was get a recipe out there! I forgot to write an introduction to my blog and explain what I was going to do. So here we go.
First of all, I love to cook. Almost all of the holidays are at my house, and I cook and I love it. Even if we go to my sister's house - I still end up cooking. But, during the weekdays, I'm busy. So I like to have either super simple meals, or something that I have made over the weekend. The purpose of this blog is to share some of my easy recipes. I get my ideas from recipes, but I just use them as a guideline. I am what I call a "dump cook" in that I add until it tastes right and or looks right. I always add alot more veggies then recipes call for and I usually don't add salt but instead rely on other spices for flavors.
I have a BS in Nutrition so I try to put that knowledge into practice and eat healthy. I usually don't use full fat products and I try to have a MUFA (monounsaturated fatty acid) at every meal. MUFA's are good fats and can be found in olives, nuts, olive oil and avocados. These fats help boost HDL levels(the good cholesterol) and there is evidence that it decreases belly fat. I'm not a vegetarian but I do cook alot of meatless dishes. As long as you eat grains ie rice with beans you will get a complete protein that includes all 8 essential amino acids (protein) without all the saturated fat!
I will post one recipe per week and sometimes maybe even two. Please enjoy and feel free to add ideas/suggestions.
