That's right folks...just as I feared!

I have come to the conclusion that you can not eat food like this and maintain a healthy body. I realise that this is quit obvious for most people but for some reason I have always thought moderation in all things, this would include; deep fried, bacon-wrapped, macaroni and cheese fritters. Seriously Paula, you seem like a gracious, lovely women why would anyone serve this to their loved ones? I am taking license here to publicly criticize Ms. Paula, but hey this is my blog and it's definitely not personal. I am currently in the throws of trying to return my body to a healthy state. Over the past 12 years it has been "eat now, pay later" well... the piper has come to collect. I enjoy cooking (and eating) but an interesting thing has occurred to me over the past month. I enjoy feeling good, like really good...tie my shoes, cross my legs, not have to pin my zipper up good (some of you know what I speak of, if you don't... good for you)
I have found some sneaky ways over the past 6 weeks to satisfy some of my culinary desires with out feeling guilt or bloat. I will share the most exciting... Whole wheat pizza dough, I made this in my bread machine last week and it turned out great. I will up load some pics I took of my beautiful pizza, I don't know about anyone else but I want food to be pretty. This point my seem obvious to most but this is something I have just figured out about myself. In fact I would venture to say that how food looks is just as important to me as how it tastes. I have always been a very visual person so I'm not sure why this was such an epiphany.
I also love beautiful produce, I almost want it in my house as a decoration. I have been juicing and I can feel an immediate physical response to the juice in the morning. My favorite juice is apple-carrot (equal parts) with 1 lemon. Try it you'll like it!!
