Embracing a whole life approach to wellness
This is my current photo. I’m only down 8 pounds, so I don’t think it looks that different from the “before.” Plus DH wouldn’t get up from watching TV to take a decent picture so the angle is a bit weird.
I'm starting to tire of couscous, although I do see its appeal - it cooks super fast! I adapted this recipe from Clean Eating magazine (July/August 2010 issue). I think you could use just about any fish, as the citrus dressing will stand up to strong flavored fish.
In a recent Huffington Post article, Linda Buzzell makes a case for "pattern recipes," which basically means learning the basics of recipe and then varying things as one goes along.
One of my favorite experiences is receiving a book to review, then discovering that it was written by some bloggers. It's almost like getting an extension of the book for free! Such was the case with Ideas in Food: Great Recipes and Why They Work.
Sometimes I feel so "not-in-the-know" when a publisher sends a cookbook to me that features the author prominently, and I have absolutely no clue who it is. Makes me feel like a total poser. What business have I reviewing cookbooks if I don't even know enough chefs/TV personalities/gardening gurus to recognize them on their own cookbook?
