 I was blessed to attend an outdoor Barbecue phenomenal family function the other evening. Gorgeous night out! Beautiful deck, gorgeous lighting, table set for about 35. Oh and that buffet. Sooo nicely displayed! Barbecue. No fear. This was not an "ugh what am I going to eat moment"; it rarely if ever is actually, being everything is built into the "plan". But here.. ooh, hit pay dirt!

 It was a perfect example of you needn't and shouldn't just smother everything in sugary sweet barbecue sauce and/or fat. Mother nature has you covered and covered the chicken too! I don't care who's concoction it is - ain't nothing going to beat this one. 

I love my spices. That I've known for a long time now. This just made me fall in love all over again!

 The chief in charge shared with me what she put on those drum sticks: 

 Rosemary
Thyme
Mint
Oregano
Garlic 
Onion
Salt 
Pepper


 I asked, "fresh?". She said, "no, dried".  I said - "wow, it's amazing" Actually, I went on and on (as I often do ;) ) about just how great it was!

 I was lucky enough to have them again the following day for lunch!

 Okay, so these were barbecued on a grill. I do drumsticks all the time. They come out great simply placed on a roasting tray on 375 degrees until they are browned.  And no, they don't need oil. I cook them with the skin on, sometimes I remove the skin before I serve it, sometimes I don't. 

 And wait, there was more excitable food there. Yes, excitable! I am always told I used such descriptive words for food; yup, I'm a food-loving foodie who just happens to be a health/nutrition coach & counselor. Coincidence? I. Don't. Think. So! 
The Red Cabbage Slaw. It's a staple in my home. It's so good. Stays fresh for days. So easy. So filling. Oh yeah, so healthy too (I sometimes forget that part!!).  

It's just red cabbage coarsely cut; lemon juice mostly, a hit of white vinegar, salt and a little pepper. (I was fortunate to have this too with those drumsticks the day after)

 So take THAT all naysayers who say it's too hard to cook/eat healthily! Seriously, pleeeeze take that!! 

 Think outside the box -  and the bottle and the jar too!

Vicki Rothschild/Weight Management ~ “A Plan for LIFE ” Life Should Be Delicious!! 917-533-1794   www.facebook.com/vickiweightloss     vickirothschild@gmail.com Creating an Easier Fast   Before we talk about what’s best before & after a fast,  I’d like to clarify something: Every food falls into only one of three categories and no, it’s not meat, dairy & pareve. It’s proteins, fats and carbohydrates. I’m going to focus now on carbohydrates as this is what comes up most often when discussing what should be eaten prior to fasting and is indeed the most crucial to having an easier one. Being that it’s recommended that 45-60% of our caloric intake come from carbs, it’s pretty crucial on a daily basis as well. Soda is a carbohydrate, as are jelly beans, M&M’s, breads, apples, peaches, string beans, broccoli, cauliflower, celery. Yes people, vegetables are carbs !!   We need carbs. Carbohydrate is an organ...

Bragging and showing off my breakfast.. and I'm not gonna stop ! ( FYI: I eat my breakfast late, hours after I wake up) This one happened by accident! We all know some of the greatest discoveries were indeed found that way!   How to sum this up nice and neat and get to the good stuff? My living room carpet. I set out to toss it and have my floor underneath sanded, stained and varnished. Yesterday was the day.  Wanting to spend as little time downstairs and get stuff done ahead of time - bright and early I pan saute...
