After a recent move, we realize it’s time to lighten the load. The excess books, knickknacks, and record albums need to go, but so do the pounds. As a trained chef and recipe developer, I cook and eat all the right foods. The trouble is, I eat too much. A new year offers the opportunity to make a few adjustments.
Cutting the fat, for example. Move over, holiday beef roasts and party-friendly chicken wings. Embrace lean proteins instead. Stock a container full of cooked, highly-flavored, portion-controlled items such as chicken tenders, salmon filets, or thinly sliced pork tenderloin. A brief stay in a spicy yogurt marinade renders these cuts delicious when eaten hot, cold, or at room temperature.
