30 Minutes Is All It Takes

In just 30 minutes I have been able to create a tasty, nutrisous meal. I have learned to cook in a manner in which my entire family enjoys and I can take care of myself as well. This is a totally new way of thinking for me. I have been taught from childhod that sacrifices must be make for the sake of the family, even at my expense. Many times I have prepared meals that my family really enjoyed, loaded with fat and sugar, just to make them happy. I suffered many a day for eating this way. I gained weight where many times they didn't. So as I blossomed to 350 lbs and had to undergo a life altering gastric bypass surgery. I came to realize that drastic measures would have to be made. I had my surgery over three years ago and I know this was the best decision for me. I survived and am doing remarketly well.

I still want my family to enjoy my meals and receive the pleasure of hearing them moan over my cooking. I have learned that taste is the key to all great meals and that this could be accomplished without excessive fat and sugar. I have also come to realize that good cookware is essential as well. I have found that a good set of stainless steel non-stick cookware will allow many great meals to be cooked with low fat to no fat. I have seen many great cookware products at www.KitchenSavvyPlus.com, check it out. Now when I cook I include all of the necessary components to help me maintain my weight loss, which is portion size, preparation style and great taste. I found a great free recipe for Savory Brown Rice on the above mentioned web site. This recipe is so tasty and brown rice is so much better for me and my family. My husband loves white rice and swears he hate brown rice. So decided to try to incorporate this into a meal for him. I used the recipe as is and then one night I added shrimp and 2 Tbl of olive oil and made a great shrimp fried rice. He really loved it, but was suspisus and asked if he was eating healthy food. He has developed an adversion to healthy food because in the past healthy food tasted healthy and not great, you know what I mean like cardboard. Using the non-stick cookware made clean up quick and easy. My family loved it and so did I. I also have been using the panini grill to enjoy many low fat delicious sandwiches. I will give you a tip, check out the web, www.KitchenSavvyPlus.com and make the grilled eggplant sandwich. You will need a panini grill or possible and seasoned cast iron skillet would do. The recipe is just wonderful. Finally and guilt free sandwich, only change I made was to use whole wheat beefsteak bread in stead of rye bread. Treat yourself good today and prepare something nutrisious and full of taste.

I will talk about some of the seasoning and herbs I have been incorporating into my cusine which have been nothing short of great. I will show you how to be a great cook and receive the praise of your family as well, while still maintaining your desired weight.

REMEMBER: FOOD IS OUR FRIEND BUT WE MUST TREAT IT PROPERLY.
