Darn. I love food.

I just, LOVE food! I enjoy the smells, textures, new flavors, familiar flavors...basically everything.

And let me tell you, it doesn't go very well with my healthy objectives. Gosh darn-it.

Yeah. I know.  I'm searching out new recipes that are healthier..not the same.

I feel your pain. I just love food too much. I've decided to learn to live with being larger so I can eat what I want.

Skinny taste is our new friend right now. http://skinnytaste.com/ I found it in our last healthy food topic. haha.DH picked 4 recipes for the week. One of them had shrimp so I'm having mac and cheese that night. lol

I follow that blog too.  There are some great recipes.

Great blog! Thank you for the recommendation.

Oh NLFoodie I know. I'll go like three days with surviving on fat free yogurt, all-bran, chicken, and veggies and then make a four-course dinner. My cooking style isn't terribly unhealthy but I love desserts and portion-control and I have a love-hate relationship. 

Thankfully my H loves food too so we can appreciate one anothers extra bit of jiggle. I just want to stay healthy while enjoying my guilty pleasure's.

Ashley, you are my soul sister.  I love food...I live to eat (rather than eat to live).  I agree with Alli though...skinnytaste is awesome!  I use a lot of her recipes and they're super good!  I've also pulled quite a few from cooking light that I really love as well.

Portion control is my arch-enemy, however.

Add me to this Food Love list!

I'm always happy when I eat. I love to try new, weird foods. I have never refused to eat something, I figure if others can eat it I can at least try it, so far I have liked everything. Yumm, now I'm hungry!

Portion control was always hard, but it went out the window with getting together with a half Italian guy who has a super-speedy metabolism, eats whatever he wants and has a weight that hasn't changed even 2 lbs since he was 18 (that's more than 20 years of the same weight and eating crap for him!). 

I do eat pretty healthy though, so health-wise I'm okay (I tell myself!)
