Hi my friends,
I'm going to try something a little different for the new year. I, like many of us, have got to lose some weight this year. The problem is, like many of us, I LOVE my food. I spend a lot of time reading recipes in magazines, cookbooks, and online. I am appalled that so many trusted sources do not at least try to follow nutrition guidelines. I am also appalled that unless we do our homework, we may not know how unhealthy a lot of these recipes are. I am going to try to do the homework for all of us. This is a huge undertaking and, as I found today, a very daunting task. So, I will probably only post once or twice per week because I will not post a "realistic" version unless I have tried it and find it worthwhile.
I will be trying to post a summary of the original recipe I find that sounds good and offer a "realistic" version according to nutrition guidelines and some tips on making it even better for you as a third option. Where I can, I will list nutrition values - I am particularly interested in calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and protein.
I will be posting my first recipe comparison later tonight. If you find it confusing or not helpful - let me know. Also let me know if you like what I'm doing. I'm flying by the seat of my pants here and appreciate any and all comments, suggestions, input.
Happy eating
K
