Day 185 - Quickie Food Love

Welcome to Tuesday, the only day of the week with 7 letters in it.

Bringing you a little food love this day. The picture there was made possible by my son Cameron. In that tray you see there marinading away are six venison backstrap chops. Picked his meat up while dropping off my doe for processing yesterday. These were quite yummy, sorry I didn't take a after-cooking picture. Was just too anxious to get them on a plate and start feasting.

Being able to share dinner with the family was the high point of my day Monday. Seems I brought a head cold home with me this weekend and that had me low on energy and enthusiasm much of the day. A bit better today I believe, hopefully this clears out as the day wears on as I'd like to get in some exercise this evening.

Yesterday I ate very well, there was no urge to eat junk because I felt like junk. This morning's breakfast was fruit & juice so I am off to a good start here. As long as my mental game doesn't get sick i wont suffer any illness related setbacks.

Ok, that's about all I have in me this morning. Hope all of you are doing well, being healthy and having fun!

Day 171 - Fueled Up Simple

Let's give Tuesday a little love shall we.

Do you consider this to be the second or the third day of the week?

On Monday my eating was good and I did get in some cardio. While waiting for my sons soccer game to start I switched into my walking shoes and did three laps around the high school campus. Three laps in 45-50 minutes covering 3 miles.

Today I offer a simple picture of the simple foods I bring to work each day. Today it is a plum (huge one at that), a gala apple and a banana. Also my daily can of V8 and a bottle of water which I'll refill 2-4 times on any given day.

Simpler foods provide us with better fuel; is that a true statement? Oh I am sure there are some great articles out there that debate this into oblivion. Honestly I am not certain, but, if forced to pick true or false; my gut would have me say true.

As a hobby of sorts I love to get busy in the kitchen. Actually calling it a hobby is incorrect, instead it comes from a desire to eat food that tastes good. I didn't get to be obese eating food that tastes like the rubber end of a plunger.

Many of you know my joy for cooking from my occasional spread of photos of my work on the grill, the smoker or the stove. And believe me, I share only a small smattering of this pleasure here on the blog.

Whether I'm working on a meal that is an all day affair or a quick grab and go, I do try and keep the recipe as simple as can be and the ingredients even simpler. That paella recipe on the 'stove' link is about as complex as I like to take it. Oh I am not daunted by the complex, hardly. Rather my years have brought me to believe that food tastes better when approached & prepared simply. As well my recent mission to get healthy has me believing that the simpler the food itself, the better it is for you.

Agree, disagree? Huh, you want me to pass the Cheetos, now cut it out!
