Out doing the ole snow shovel boogie and the dogs took off. Hope they freeze their butts off...I don't get them...they have every thing a doggie could want and yet they chase deer and won't come back in this frigid weather.:confused3

Kids off today "Due to inclement weather" and DH is driving up to an area in PA where they had 15" a few days ago and another 15" predicted for today. He claims the job can't wait.:sad2:

Here's a side dish to help with the new Homie Bodies:

Burnt Tomatoes
Take a cast iron skillet heat until drop of water sizzles.
Slice Tomatoes in half, brush with olive oil and salt
Place on skillet, sliced side down for 8-10 minutes without peeking.
Lift out placing burnt side up on plate. Slice an X and drizzle with olive oil. Add a few peppercorns to each with some fresh oregano.

(the tomatoes will be blackened)

Really, quick, effortless and tasty.

Sounds very good,but gotta ask.Did you find this recipe by accident?
 
Here is a healthy salad,if you love carrots,I got stored in my PC.Very YUMMMY!!!

6 large carrots, peeled
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole carrots (cut them in half if they don't fit in the pot) and cook until just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and cut carrots into 1/2-inch thick slices.


Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt in a large bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified and stir in the parsley. Add the cooked carrots and toss to combine. Serve cold or at room temperature
 
Bacon-wrapped Turtle Burgers are not that healthy. Just sayin'...

:rolleyes1
 
OK....I'll play nice this time. Here is a healthy base recipe for a main course or as a side dish. It's extremely low in carbs and lower calories than the alternative.

Cauliflower Rice:

I head of cauliflower
Tbs or so of olive oil
salt and pepper
whatever other spices you want to add

Grate the washed and cut up cauliflower in a food processor (until about the size of rice) or grate with a hand grater (using the medium holes). It can get messy using the hand grater....just sayin' :rolleyes1 I stick with the food processor.

Cover a cookie sheet with paper towels and spread the "riced" cauliflower out and cover with paper towels. Refrigerate it for about 15 minutes. This will help draw out moisture so that it firms up when it cooks.

Heat the oil (or to be even healthier you could use an olive oil or butter flavored Pam spray) over medium heat. Add the "rice" and season with your spice mix. Stirfry for about 5 - 8 minutes until it just stars to get browned.

Per serving: 85 calories; 1 gram protein; 8 grams fat; 5 grams saturated fat; 4 grams carbohydrate; 2 grams fiber; 20 milligrams cholesterol

The fat can be lowered simply by substituting the olive oil.



Sometimes I use it as a base to add sauteed shrimp (healthy) or chicken breast (healthy) or even a creole version by adding green pepppers, onions, turkey sausage, diced tomatoes and creole spices. Yum.

Another version I do is to sub a small amount of sesame oil and add low-sodium soy sauce, green onions, water chestnuts, mushrooms and whatnot for a fried rice version.

Cauliflower really stinks when you cut it up and drain the moisture. You might think that something is spoiling in the fridge...don't worry....it's just the cauliflower....it will taste sooooooooooo much better when you cook it.
 
I thought Minnie was punking us with the Burnt Tomatoes! I just looked it up online and I'll be damned. She wasn't lieing. ;) I must give that a shot now.
 
MH--I almost lost my breakfast! I thought those were real turtles at first.:laughing:

DD--yupp--found the recipe in a magazine, very tasty. Not sure about the carrots recipe--the kids are weird sometimes about carrots--one day they like them cooked, another whole, another shredded, another...someplace where the sun doesn't shine... Some days I feel like a restaurant.:goodvibes

Gonna try the cauliflower recipe this weekend--thanks:goodvibes



And in answer to your question DD, I think my 1st 10 yrs of marriage, my family had "cat food" several times--I just couldn't get the hang of the ol' meat loaf recipe. :) And the chicken on the grill is still what gets burned--you'd think I'd learn by now.

Grilling is easy after a few-looks like cat food accidents.Remember,cook slow,keep the food off the direct heat.Well unless it's steak,then burn it to seal the taste.A few min per side on the steaks tho,depending on youre taste.DW loves fillet raw-yuck.For her I cook it on hot coals 4min per side.When its done a 9volt shock will make it move.For me,it's gotta be done easly done with EVO.I am no vampire!!!:thumbsup2
 
Doesn`t time fly..........

Happy 17th Birthday to our wonderful son Kyle :lovestruc :lovestruc

As a fitness person, people often as me what I eat.. the answer is.. NOT MUCH.. LOL.. I eat mostly protein-rich foods (meats, nuts, etc) and veggies.. just FYI...

Tonight is a big night in soccer.. if the boys win.. we have a shot at making the playoffs.. this despite the fact that at the beginning of the season, this was one of the weakest teams I have ever coached..

Oh well.. it least it's Friday!!!

Have a great three-day weekend everyone.. Thank You, Dr. King!!!

was hungry for popcorn, then saw the turtle (faux or otherwise). Just might be the picture i should post on my fridge to stop me from eating.

donald that sounds like one spicy dish.

busy here, ma home & doing waaay better than forecast by nursing home:goodvibes. College acceptances all came thru (some I was almost hoping they wouldn't:rolleyes1i.e. Drexel), initial awards are decent considering he's a bit of a slacker, but no free rides in our house lol. Hoping for some more luv after FAFSAs filed.

a very good weekend all, no dr king day; due to strike it's work work & makeup days. Found out that attendance rate was less than 20% over the rescheduled Xmas break when 3 makeup days were scheduled, yep DS was in the majority.
