I like it "before". :) It is more cozy and less commercial looking.

For me, going shopping without grocery list is a huge waste of time.

I put the broccoli in pyrex bowl and cover it with wet paper towel. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, depends on the amount of veges. Simple and easy: good fresh vegetables don't need seasoning.

Is she bulking or something? ;) A person who takes care of herself will never put THAT stuff into her body.

My suggestion - skip the second piece of bread on top of the sandwich and use large lettuce leaf instead. Ezekiel bread, hard boiled egg, roasted beef or smoked salmon, Tabasco sauce and lettuce is my "the greatest sandwich ever." Add steamed asparagus on the side and you'll have The Perfect lunch ever! :)

Eat Plain Oatmeal! :)
And you won't need to figure out ingredients. ;)

I consider breakfast as my main meal of the day. It gives me power.

But my biggest meal is dinner. It consists of a fresh salad, a protein meal and a dessert. :)

Fage plain 0%. I also use it instead of sour cream.

Biscuits!

They are so easy to make and so delicious when they're home-cooked!

That stuff goes to my list of "invented food I walk by" like string cheese. :) I still have no idea why I should spend my money on those products when the real cheese or cream still exist and cost the same...

What's a cheese stick? I know cheese. I know a stick. But together?!
Why waste your money on something artificial?..

"Cook the perfect..." by Marcus Wareing
I usually don't like cook books but this particular one had my attention because of the basic recipes and basic cooking methods.

I have my pre-bed snack at 9:30pm every day. It is usually a couple of tablespoons of oats, a banana, low fat no salt cottage cheese and/or fat-free Greek yogurt or no sugar added apple sauce with a dash of cinnamon. It keeps me ok till morning. But if I wake up hungry in the middle of the night I'll get me a cup of milk.

I store the spare blades of my Cuisinart right next to it on an open shelf in a pretty bamboo basket. I also keep there some spare parts of the rotisserie oven. It is neat and very easy to reach.

Raisins are a good natural snack before work-out and they help fight the bacteria in the mouth that cause cavities and gum disease. I like them.

I prefer and have electric one.
I used a gas cooker twice in my life and I always ended up setting up on fire and burning kitchen washcloths. It is not for me.

I like the left picture.
The dishes behind the glass cabinets make it look more tidy and there is less stuff on the counter top, the floor is lighter color. And I absolutely loved colors: books, glasses, plates and flowers!

Hellmans with olive oil works for me. Though I use it 2-3 times a month, the most, for tuna salad. :) We don't eat sandwiches often. And when we do, I prefer to use good quality cheese (Swiss, Brie, Roquefort), it gives more flavor and taste.
