To Each Their Own

Hello all,

I would like to use this forum to help you make healthy food choices, by suggesting some things you can do to maximize your time in the kitchen.  If you have a health issue and would like some menu suggestions, please let me know. If you just want to eat well, just let me know.  If you can't boil water or are just challenged by your kitchen in general let me know and I will attempt to assist you!

I love to cook!  I love to eat!  I love to look like I don't really love to eat! LOL @ myself!

Anyway, as I study Nutrition at Georgia State and in general as I go about my day/week/month/year I will share suggestions with you.

With Valentine's Day fast approaching you may be trying to think of some ways to impress with a home cooked meal.  Let me help.


Here are a few menu suggestions.  If you would like a list of ingredients, or a how to please email me or give me a call if you have the number and I'll scan and send. 

Company's Coming Pot Roast
Pecan crusted Halibut
A simple Roast Chicken with Pan Gravy
Penne ala Vodka
Caprese salad (sliced tomato, and fresh mozzarella, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, garnished with fresh basil)
Garden salad with sliced cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinaigrette dressing
Top Secret Chocolate Cookies
Chocolate dipped strawberries

One of the things I have found is that when I take the time to look for a recipe for something I want to make, and then take the time to make it, those partaking usually love the meal!
Cooking takes time, you have to first shop, then prep, then cook, then clean up after cooking.

I make my own tomato sauce, my own granola etc.  This means that I am cutting down on the amount of preservatives I put in my body, making fresh food and limiting my salt and sugar intake by making it myself.

Hope you enjoy reading my blog, look for recipe suggestions, cooking tips and healthy information on food prep and how to eat well even if you have health issues.

 Ciao for now!
