In The Hospital

Here I am..day 5 of my incarceration. I have to say I was actually surprised that there was pretty well NOTHING that I could even pretend to make a meal out of.

 Well. I have been SLACKIN!!!! All the way around.I havent been keeping up with this at all and I have been off the wagon more than on with the eating...BAD BARBI.
  Tomorrow is a new day though,and whether or not it was foolish, I am off the anti anxiety med for a week now.I feel more motivated to be me.
   Breakfast in the morning...scrambled eggs, bacon,tomatoes and fresh blueberries. Lunch will be my leftovers from Outback...only because.Fish and veggies, I will ad my own salad with the homemade primal blue cheese dressing. I need to tweak that abit...apple cider vinegar AND Greek Style yogurt are just a wee bit TART

Snow At Last!!!

   I love snow!! I love cold!!! It is the perfect scenario for soup!!! I have much cooking on my agenda for the weekend.   http://paleomg.com/breakfast-bacon-maple-meatballs/#.UPn01fdmAAA.facebook

One day I will figure out all the adding stuff...but for now, dear reader, its not so easy to me that I can!!HOWEVER!! this is one dish

The next is Stuffed Pablano Peppers!!

This dish was prepared by my friend Anna Butrim and photographed by her husband Joe Butrim.They are both fabulous!!!!I need to hit her up for the recipe!!

The last but not least, will be a soup I have not decided on yet!!!!!

I cooked a huge chicken the other night, along with a pot of mixed greens. Greens are a wonderful dish when cooked right,I add onion and pepper to mine.This batch I added a Red Pepper, it changed up the flavor a bit.Lat night I chopped up some of the chicken, sauteed some onion and pepper,added a little Barbecue Sauce and added some cheese for dinner...it was yummy 

       Now, onto another subject. There is a book that came out called "Fat Chance" by Robert H. Lustig M.D. that he was interviewed about in  People Magazine. I haven't red the book yet, but the concepts revealed in the interview were some things I'm sure not everyone's aware of ....and should be.
   SUGAR IS BAD....(thats me,not the Dr.) but check this out. The person writing this piece, Kritsten Mascia asks "How did our sugar problem get so out of hand?"  the answer " Of the 600,000 packed foods available in America, about 80% have added sweeteners. There are 56 names for it. The food industry hides it."    Then this was the best question "So ,how do we protect our selves?"    and this is the best answer "The best way is to eat real food, which doesnt need a label. The more labels your reading, the more junk your buying."
      And that my friends is the truth.EAT REAL FOOD!!! We need to get back to actual cooking!!!!!

Fab!!!!!

 Dinner tonight was Fabulous!!! Dinner tomorrow night will be even better!! Never cooked Spaghetti Squash before, but, having that with a butter garlic herb infusions and  mussels and shrimp!!! YUMM
