Good For The Soul Greens

A tablespoon of bacon grease, water, salt, pepper and greens. Warms the body and soul. Most super markets sell greens in a bag in the produce department (by the cabbage) or frozen work just as well.
Sorry, the picture doesn't do it justice. 

Spinach Salad With Moo Shu Pork

We had left over Chinese from the night before I started Phase 1 so I just kept the Moo Shu filling hoping it would work with the South Beach plan. I got it extra hot and placed it over fresh spinach. The hot Moo Shu slightly wilts the spinach and makes a delightful spinach salad. The sauce on the Moo Shu acts as your dressing (its a little sweeter than we're probably supposed to have but I didn't want to waste the Moo Shu). 

This works really well with a nice marinara with lots of fresh vegetables. Get it really hot, place over spinach and mix well. Delightful!

Mad Food Love

I LOVE food. I've always loved food whether it's in or out, down home or black tie, whether I cook or anyone else does the burning for me.  This is a collection of recipes from here, there and everywhere. Some are new recipes that got my attention and some are old favorites that warm my soul.  My hope is that you can share your beautiful meal with your family over pleasant conversation.  Some of my greatest memories were mealtime at the table with my whole family. It wasn’t just for holidays - it was daily and it meant the world to me. And now, I love sharing that with my kiddos...Enjoy!
