About
Unfortunetly they don't really go hand-in-hand since chocolate cake and alfredo sauce on a daily basis lead to clogged arteries, not a sleak physique.
I once told my friend that "I think, I think about food more than a guy thinks about sex." That being the case, here are some of my ramblings about trying to be a skinny food-a-holic.

Bulk up your risotto
Risotto is one of my favorite foods. Its cheese and rice at their best. But, it doesnt offer a lot of fiber.
One way to increase your fiber intake is to swap out the arborio rice and use a whole grain like barley instead of rice. I made a barley, asparagus and parmesan risotto last night that was delish!
Barely can be cooked just like rice in a risotto, by sauteing onion and garlic with the barley, then adding water of stock half a cup at a time until the barley is tender. Make sure you leave enough time for the barley to cook through though. (it took me an hour and 5 cups of broth for 1 cup of barley)
Finish your risotto off with your favorite mix ins at the last moment. Some of my favorites are tomatoes, cheese, peas, herbs and any other in season veggies.
Happy eating!
