Eating WHAT?!?!
I love food. I love French food, rich food, and lots of it.
However, there comes a time when that will catch up to a person. Sadly, it caught up with me a few years ago, I just hadn’t realized it yet.
So I’m trying to alter my diet such that it’s significantly more healthy. I’m not doing a ‘fad diet’ or even any particular diet, just watching what I eat, when I eat, and how much I eat.
How’s it going? Meh. I’m sticking to my guns, but the food could leave a bit to be desired. When you consume a very unhealthy amount of butter, going to a scant tablespoon or so of olive oil for similar dishes changes things. In any event, baked chicken, pasta with saute of squash, zucchini and tomato, rice with steamed broccoli and saute of mushrooms, non-sugary cereals, whole grain breads. I feel better, which I guess is encouraging.
The first ’shot worthy’ dish is not the most impressive dish I’ve ever come up with. That’s angel hair, tossed with a scant bit of olive oil, a wee bit of white wine in the vegetable saute (batonettes of squash and zucchini, diced tomato and diced onion), and a bit of parm cheese over the top (not much!), and finished with a squeeze of lemon juice and some parsley chiffonade.
I ate it. Heather liked it. Zoe devoured it. It’s not the prettiest dish ever, but then again, I’m not going for pretty.
