parkercat — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 10:47:36 -0800

I have only lost 1 pound . but since I added arm weights to my workout I can see a difference in my arms and shoulders . I didn't do good over the Super Bowl weekend , to many chicken wings and sauce. I haven't increased my mileage yet either, just can't do it on a treadmill. Come on Spring! I have tried one of the recipes "The Fast and Easy Frittatas" very good by the way! I can't wait to try some more of them.It's hard to believe it's been 6 weeks already . I hope to do better for the next 6 weeks.

Game Day Eats: Pimento Cheese and Bacon Bites

YumSugar — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:00:47 -0800

Still on the hunt for a finger food that'll complete your Super Bowl Sunday? Consider serving the sliders and wings with a cheesy, toasty Southern snack that'll please just about anyone. Seriously, it's melted pimento cheese, crunchy baguette, and crispy bits of bacon - how can you go wrong?

I love the worry-free factor of these bites. The pimento cheese can be made several days ahead, and the recipe can be halved and still turns out great. I don't have a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, so I hand-mixed the pimento cheese. Win over any Super Bowl fan when you read more.

Smarter Eats: Keep Super Bowl Snacks Off the Table

FitSugar — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 12:00:23 -0800

I'm not a huge football fan, but I've hosted my share of Super Bowl parties over the years. Let's face it, this Sunday is about more than just a big game. There's half-time shenanigans, million dollar commercials, and of course, the food.

Super Bowl Sunday is generally big on grazing little nibbles that can be eaten without the use of a plate. Chips, buffalo wings, layered dips, and sliders are pretty standard. Read: not so good for the waistline. I try to give my Super Bowl parties a healthy twist by offering up snacks that don't skimp on taste, but are good for you too. In addition to the classics, I lay out grilled veggie kebabs, a Mediterranean platter, some chilled crab legs, vegan mac-n-cheese, and turkey chili. I also encourage friends who are watching what they eat to bring a healthy dish to share with the crowd.

Besides offering up some healthy eats, I keep the food in the kitchen and out of the living room. It dramatically cuts down on my couch and rug being stained, and when people want to eat they have to get up to do so. I am much more conscious of what I am eating if I have to get up to make myself a plate of food to bring back with me. This tactic also cuts down on my grazing time. I definitely can be one of those people who eats because there is food in front of me, which is not always a good thing. So move the food off of the living room table and problem solved. Unless of course, I spend the entire time in the kitchen, but since The Who will be performing that's unlikely to happen!

What tips do you have to keep party eating reasonably healthy?

Right-wing women rock

Right-wing women rock

Looking at the shoes tells a lot about a female's political persuasion

By IAN ROBINSON

The recent election of Danielle Smith as leader of the Wildrose Alliance reminded me that among the many things I love about the libertarian/right wing are the women.

Could be our slogan: Come for the culture war ... stay for the chicks.

Right-wing women rock.

Not for us the sturdy, honest calves of the New Democrat/Green Party female, honed on eco-tourist rainforest hikes.

Those legs are often on unfortunate display, extending from a knee-length tweed skirt as hairy as the legs themselves, and end in a pair of Birkenstocks.

I have yet to see a pair of Birkenstock women's shoes that didn't look like part of the required uniform for police SWAT teams. Sensible shoes are one thing ... quite another to don a pair that look like they're meant for rappelling down the sides of buildings with a Heckler & Koch sniper rifle slung over your shoulder.

The primary reason our womenfolk are at war with the looming spectre of the nanny state is because you can't buy Jimmy Choos in a socialist paradise.

The only sensible footwear you'll find in a right-wing woman's closet are the Nike cross-trainers that go with her gym membership.

Everything else has a three-inch heel. Minimum.

Left-wing drabs recycle. Right-wing women shop -- and the government measures how much they shop every month to find out whether we're still in a recession. Basically, the world economy depends on right-wing women buying shoes.

You never hear a right-wing woman break out statistics pointing out that only 25% of elected offices in Canada are held by women, and then whining about it.

No. A right-wing woman wants to get elected, she runs for office.

If she wins, great. If she loses ... well, there's always more shoe shopping.

Left-wing women burn enormous quantities of fossil fuels to drive across the city to a farmer's market to purchase virtually the same carrot you can get at the neighbourhood Sobey's a couple of blocks from your house for half the price, all in the name of making the environment happy.

A right-wing woman hits the gym, swings past Sobey's and has dinner on the table by the time you get home ... while her left-wing counterpart is still stuck in traffic listening to Sarah McLachlan on her iPod and feeling morally superior about her carrot choices.

And when that plate of food is put in front of you by the right-wing hottie you had the good sense to marry, it will be 100% tofu-free. If you're lucky, she just remembered to buy steak and forgot about the carrot entirely.

Right-wing women have traditional families, so they want to raise them themselves ... or at the very least by a nanny they've vetted, rather than abdicating that responsibility to the state.

They know that the good life costs money ... so they're not sure why the average Canadian is handing -- on average! -- half their income to smarmy government apparatchiks who spend it mostly on stupid crap.

Our women are a genuine asset when they enter politics because they've spent their lives figuring out how to live within their family's means ... while still affording a couple of pairs of those Jimmy Choos.

Because most of them have careers and work hard, they understand the value of a dollar, allowing you a steak lifestyle on a hamburger income ... and they know they can spend their family's money more intelligently than some faceless bureaucrat with a passion for public art or totalitarian city planning.

Right-wing women are essentially libertarians ... they don't take well to being bossed around and they don't like bossing other people around unless it's to tell them they can't spend money.

If they can tell their kid he can't have the newest Xbox upgrade and make it stick ... if they can make a husband understand it makes more sense to put money in an RRSP than going to the Super Bowl with the guys every year ... if they can pull all that off, then fixing health care shouldn't be too big a stretch.

And in case you're not convinced, to indicate the utter superiority of the right-wing woman over the left-wing variant ... just turn on The View.

The left has Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg.

We've got Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

Checkmate.

Super easy Oriental style chicken wings

Shiloh Jolie Pitt — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:45:08 -0700

Ingredients:
Chicken wings - not frozen
Any spices you have in your cupboards, except salt.
Soy sauce or Teriyaki sauce
Oil, sugar

Directions:
Place the wings in a bowl and sprinkle with any and every kind of spice you have around + soy sauce - salt.

I made mine today using cinnamon, chili powder, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, powdered ginger, onion powder, and pepper flakes. Mix well. If you have sesame oil, throw in some too.

Pour enough oil in a pan to cover the bottom, add the sugar (for about 20 wings, I used 3 full table spoons of white sugar - you can use brown too), mix until the sugar dissolves, then add the wings, cook for about 10 min each side or until done.

For my hubby, I mixed in steamed broccoli (blech). Serve over white rice, noodles, or as an appetizer.

These are not my wings but I didn't take pix of mine and I like recipes with photos
