Well I have been on a diet to lose weight for the last 2 months. Doing well, lost 21 pounds. 20 more to go.
Sunday's is my cheat day. I don't diet on Sundays. It is also the day that I get to let my inner chef out and cook all the things I like.
Some of my latest culinary endeavors over the last couple months...
Paella with chicken, shrimp, squid, and mussels
Homemade Marinara and meatballs.
Asparagus wrapped in Prosciutto with a raspberry sauce
Feta stuffed mushrooms
Cream cheese, Parmesan, and green onion stuffed cherry tomatoes
Marinated Shrimp Skewers
Bacon, Almonds and Cheese Crostinis
Caprice Salad
Chicken Cordon Bleu with a creamy dijon sauce

The raspberry sauce is super simple. All I did was take 1/4 cup homemade seedless raspberry jam that my mother in law makes, and added 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar to it. Then I heated it in a pot until the jam mixture melted and turned into a sauce.
It went really well with the asparagus. I used Parma Prosciutto for the wrap. The smoky saltiness of the prosciutto was a great compliment to the asparagus and the sweet jam.

This is a blog about Ming Tsai's Honey-Orange Baby Back Ribs. Can't find the recipe on the Ming Tsai sites. This has it all. It just left out the toasted sesame seed sprinkle at the end. We've made it a dozen times since we found it 9 or 10 years ago. Delicious!

You just have to be smart about it. I am a huge foodie. Food for me is culture and art. I love eating.
I am on a diet, and still eat good things. I started my diet at 216 lbs., I am now at 191 lbs. Monday through Saturday I eat per the weight watchers plan. Sunday is cheat day. I cook up a huge meal and eat what I want. Then on Monday, I go back to weight watchers until the next Sunday. I have lost 25 lbs so far doing it this way. By having a cheat day, I still get to enjoy all the things I like. My goal is to lose another 25 lbs.
