A new quote from A Fancy Word for Simple:
Around my house, Sundays are a big food day. I love to cook and having a whole day to work on a meal is a real treat for me. I know a lot of us maybe have resolutions to trim our waistlines or watch our calories... so fess up and tell me about your relationship with food!__
The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook -- Julia Child.
Actually, I prefer cheese and crackers and a glass of wine while I’m waiting for the steak to cook. Yesterday was my day in the kitchen. The cold weather makes me want to cook comfort food so I made pumpkin muffins (recipe courtesy of my daughter and filled with good things like whole wheat flour and wheat germ). They are delicious. I bought a giant muffin tin so we had six giant muffins, six regular muffins and a small loaf. Half went in the freezer. I also made a huge pot of roasted beef barbeque. So yummy and just the thing for a cold winter’s night. Some of that went in the freezer too.
Right now, I’m following some advice in Bob Greene’s new book. I’m not changing WHAT I eat, but trying not to eat after 7:30 at night, trying not to snack (except the cheese and crackers, of course), and I’ve doubled the time I’m doing aerobics at the gym. I’m waiting for results. Most likely, the cheese and crackers should go.
