Over Cooker?!

Obesity is a major issue in our country and I think everybody should do their best to stay healthy. I try my best to cook healthy when I make dishes but I have one major problem... I am an OVER COOKER!!! I do not have the capacity to make small dishes or cook small amounts of food. Is anybody else guilty of this? I need my fellow food lovers and at home chefs out there to give me some tips on how not to over cook.. Any help will be appreciated. I have a couple of pictures here that are an example of me NOT cooking a lot of food for a BBQ. What do you think? Do I need rehab?? XOXO

COOKING SHOW?!

Since we've all agreed that talking to ourselves while we cook isn't something we are alone on.. Have you ever done a full on cooking show while your making a meal. I love to say things like "and that's how you do it ladies and gentleman" and I am perfectly fine with the fact that there isn't an audience. Sometimes doing my cooking show helps me to remember recipes that I create. So my question is.. What would the name of your cooking show be? And while we are at it, if you could name a cooking show for me.. What would you name my show?! Open up and feel free to comment, answer the questions and follow my blog. XOXO

Am I alone here?!

This morning I got up to make breakfast for me and my daughter, as I flipped a pancake I said to myself "Great execution on that pancake flipping, Tamika!".. Now I am not sure if I am more embarrassed that I talk to myself when I cook or that I used the word execution. lol I know I can't be the only person who talks to themselves while they cook. So it's time to fess up out there... Do you talk to yourself while cooking? What did you say the last time you caught yourself? Be honest, share your stories and leave comments PLEASE!! XOXO

Menudo

To most people this might look like a bad idea..... But to me it looks like comfort in a can. And boy could I use some comfort this week. Being from Las Cruces NM, menudo is something that is a staple of any menu. Whenever I am home I make sure to eat as much as possible, so when I saw this at my local (Orlando FL) Winn Dixie I knew I had to try it. Not bad at all, of course I added diced onion, a squeeze of lime and oregano but I was pleasantly surprised. Not bad at all:)

day 2 meal 1

my breakfast :) leftover salad from yesterday, a little cucumber and pineapple to offset the pork I had yesterday. 

I didn't take a picture because I was cooking for an event and just making sure it tasted right. nothing substantial.

33oz of cold water and maybe a bowl of cereal(special k and almond milk) if I still need something.

I should mention that according to 4 hr body, dairy is a no-go, wheat and rice no-go, fruit no-go. so maybe no cereal

meal #2

butter beans, salad and mint tea with honey and cinnamon.

take a pic of your hand for portion size reference

HOLY GUACAMOLE!

ITS NO LONGER  ON THE MENU! THAT HOT DOG WAS A.M.AZING AND I CANNOT WAIT TIL NEXT SUMMER MMM.MMM.MM

THE END
