what's nice about staying home over a long weekend is having time to cook. (nuk).
here's a few of what i whipped up today:
my own version of cibo's roasted pork with herbs using organic shabu-shabu-cut pork (sorry no photo of finished product).
my usual-and-fave baked squash & pesto gratin.
hub's usual-and-fave grilled chicken pesto panini.
parmesan-crusted (well, this time emental-crusted since i forgot to buy parmesan yesterday before everything closed!) cream dory fillet.
and my new masterpiece, a once-boiled, twice-cooled, twice-fried fries... so it tastes like those uber-good-crunchy-on-the-outside-soft-on-the-inside fries in restos. it's a recipe we took from one of the hub's gq mags.
and the nice thing about cooking at home is being in control of what you eat -- organic, free-range, no-gmo, low-fat, low-salt, blah blah...
and now, i'm really into this whole organic, free-range, no-gmo, low-fat, low-salt, blah blah, thanks to this documentary:
this flick is the perfect way to jumpstart your new healthy life. watch me make some lifestyle switches, slowly but surely.
if you're wondering, here's a snippet of the docu... and checkout the uber cool & creative opening credits.
apart from eating right, i'm also starting a different workout now...
since i always thought that running made me eat more than i actually would burn, i switched to this:
it's a little cheesy but it seems to work. think lotsa lunges and weights (and embarrassing-for-your-eyes-only dance steps).
good cardio and strength combo.
(and guaranteed results in 10 sessions... haha)
