I love to cook! I have been a caterer and I am passionate about providing a comfortable atmosphere complete with excellent tasting food for those I love. The drawback: my yummy recipes are high in fat and don’t look good on me.

I want to try to compile great tasting food that is also healthy. Being accountable to you, the reader, will motivate me to continue my goals.

Here are my goals:

1. To be thin! OK, I am 56. Thin is out of my picture, but I want to be a comfortable size 10 or 12.

2. To enjoy the healthier recipes enough that they will remain a lifetime part of my cooking.

3. To reach out to others on a similar path.

Here is what I want to blog:
1. My road to a new and healthier body (weights and measurements).
2. Daily food and exercise along the way (pictures added).
3. The recipes and cost ($) of the food (calorie counts).

Beginning January 1, 2011, for one month I will try out a new low fat recipe everyday and blog my findings. Please share your thoughts. After 1 month, and I am successful, I would like to do a complete makeover on my yummy cook book.

Here I go!

Drum Roll Please...............

OK, today is the big weigh in for me. As of this morning, I weigh 186. I have lost 5 pounds and 5 inches. Not bad. I can live with that.
In the last 2 days, I have had a lot of left overs to eat and with temple day yesterday, I did not have time to cook anything. So today, I will cook.
On the menu is:

Breakfast: Broccoli, Ham & Cheese Fritata
Lunch:Crab Salad
Dinner: Mexican Pork with Rice

I will be back with pictures tonight. Ü
