After Frank's shopping spree yesterday.....we had a grand total of $47.51....today he spent a whopping $5.46.......left for the week $42.05
Frank is reading a book, written by a chef. The book's focus is on how chefs can always be around food, focus on food, taste and eat food without weighing hundreds and hundreds of pounds. There are many over weight chefs out there, just like the rest of the population. This chef that wrote this book has slimmed down over the last couple of years. One of his key ideas is to eat what you like and get rid of the guilt. However, what we eat should be really good food. If you like your mama's pecan pie, eat your mama's pecan pie, but have one piece! It rang true in my ears, I don't want to eat something just to stuff in my mouth, with little thought and even less remembrance.
When Clarence Birdseye figured out how to flash freeze food, in 1923, he started what has become a multi-billion dollar industry . All Clarence wanted was for his family to have fresh food all year long.
Frozen, canned, refrigerated, processed, fortified, veggie lovers, meat lovers, high protein, low calorie, low carbohydrate, high carbohydrate, low fat, low sodium, gluten free.................
All of that has always made my head spin!
Frank's approach is to make really good food with fresh ingredients. He is even finding that by making smaller portions it takes less time to prepare. This journey is definitely becoming a guilt free labor of love.
Breakfast this morning was a rush to get out the door.....Frank threw together a breakfast burrito -tortilla filled with egg, left over bruschetta and cream cheese. Since it was a large tortilla, he cut it in half for us to share. Hot brewed coffee, oh yes!
Lunch was left overs- crab salad, lettuce and tomato in a half pita, red pepper hummus with sliced carrots and zucchini for dipping
Dinner finished up the salmon....and since we liked the salmon sliders we had for lunch yesterday so much he did a reprise! Served with sliced cucumbers, carrots and corn chips to dip in freshly made guacamole. Fresh pineapple for dessert......yummy!!!!
