For me, the word "food" and "discipline" have rarely gone together in the same sentence. But when I found out my cholesterol levels needed some improvement, I chose to make a change.
About eight months ago I started eating oatmeal for breakfast - ever day. Plain oatmeal is too boring for me so I put oatmeal plus a multi-grain cereal (with nuts, granola, or fruit but low in sugar) into a bowl with a little water then I microwave it for two minutes. I let it cool a bit then add in some mi…

Belen and I spent a quiet evening at home last night for the 4th of July. I felt like firing up the grill but didn't want to thaw out the thousand pounds of frozen Costco meat in our fridge so we made hot dogs. Lulu and Ivory, our yellow labs, watched on as I grilled 'em up and added my secret ingredient (shh, it's celery seeds).
We ate dinner then I went out to play with the dogs for a while to keep them distracted when the fireworks noise started. We had a good time playing fetch with…

This weekend I'm scouring my favorite food magazines (Reiman publications- "Taste of Home", "Quick Cooking") for microwave recipes I can compile into a notebook for my son to take to college. Due to the rules of his dorm he can only have a microwave to cook with. I'm also looking for other recipes that don't require anything more than a microwave which includes desserts that are refrigerated or frozen, etc. (He can have a frig) So...if you have a fave recipe that only requires a refrigerator or…
I love pizza and I love cooking my own. Recently, I started making something more healthy. I use a flatbread with pizza sauce, add spinach, precooked chicken, basil, goat cheese and Laury's seasoning. Bake at 375 for 6 minutes and you have a calorie perfect dinner. Tonight, to go back to traditional fare, I decided to use just sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Made two pizzas for me and my kiddo. Got hers all cut up and on her plate. I cut mine up and then pizza all over the floor. Forgot that I was…

I have a hard time when I go to New Orleans, because I am a vegetarian. Vegetarianism is not as readily accepted there as it is here and it is next-to-impossible sometimes to find good, healthy vegetarian fare in that city that isn't fried or simply cheese or salad. Thank goodness there is a Whole Foods Market! Katy and I go directly there from the airport upon my arrival and I stock up on healthful goods that I cook during the weeks that I spend with her. We still eat out at times, but not ofte…

I am not a nutritionist or a nutritional consultant, but I do feel I know enough about food in layman's terms to write about it. I also find myself being queried by others and I answer to the best of my abilities. I have been making a slow gradual change towards eating "off the grid" for most of my short life. But there is one area I just can't seem to convince people on: vitamins.
For the most part, I think, mainstream science's attitude toward vitamins is, "Well, take them if you must…

So far I have two controversial food items on my favorites list. I’m not sure which is seen as worse; though pressed to make a choice, I would say the soybean and soy products are more of a hot topic. But still, I love it and think some of the hyper (or anti-hype) is bogus. Soy is versatile and can be processed in a variety of different ways. I know this seems counter-intuitive to the statement I made yesterday about eating foods in as close to there natural state as possible. In some regards…

Luckily my wife and the program's teacher handled the lunch preparation. They pretty much had to as I was working 60-70 hour weeks including weekends. And if I wasn't working, we were shoppi…

I love peanut butter. As a kid, one of my favorite snacks was peanut butter and apple, preferably Granny Smith apples. Somethings don’t change. Now I just use peanut butter in more things, like my morning oatmeal, shakes and as a delicious spicy thai sauce over noodles.
PB is also popular in Indian cuisine, where it has been cultivated for centuries. It seems that Americans have a special relationship with this nut butter. We grow the most and consume the most. In fact, in Europe in general…

I prefer steel cut oats. I know it takes a little more time to cook in the morning, but it’s worth the extra time and effort. And you can also soak them overnight to cut down on the cooking time. Steel cut oats are described as having a rich and nutty flavor. I like mine with frozen berries, nuked to the point that th…
