It’s summer and I’m still spring cleaning. This time it’s the fridge. I am not one of those people that doesn’t like leftovers. In fact, what is better than something that was already delicious, marinating overnight to be recreated with more flavor than it had yesterday? Let’s not forget the fact that you don’t have to spend your day in the kitchen to have something healthy to eat!
Summer is in full swing and so is everyone’s gardens! I make a weekly trip to the farmers market on Saturdays and everywhere you look are tomatoes and zucchini! With my herb garden producing a bounty of fresh herbs, it just seemed only right to make homemade tomato sauce. I am, unlike most people, not a fan of pasta. I know where it goes after it goes in my mouth, all the places I don’t want it! (thighs, buttocks, arms) Besides, pasta puts me in a coma. I am worthless and need to sleep within 15 minutes!
I remember the first time I had Thai food. A friend took me to the Thai House when I was probably 20 years old. She had lived in Thailand for a period of time, growing up with her parents, who were missionaries, and always talked about how amazing the food was. She shared those memories with me over a memorable lunch of Thai food. She ordered at least 5 dishes and we shared them all. Each one different — texture, heat, spicy, sweet, crunchy, sour…the classic trait of Thai food…and immense FLAVOR. Thai food can range from mild to super spicy, so be careful when ordering, or just get a Thai iced tea to cool off your tongue.
I honestly believe the easiest way to maintain a healthy weight and a healthy body is to eat food without a label. That has always been my philosophy.
Nana has been in town and you know what that means…Fluff! Yeah a little extra padding for winter is creeping onto my body from all the yummy bad, but oh so good, comfort foods that are consumed when family is in town AND it’s been holiday season.
Still looking for something special for Christmas morning that can be made a head of time?
