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.

Got Bread?
My mom had a party again this weekend (I swear she has more of a social life than I do…) and we had tons of leftovers. People didn’t eat anything but dip! Whats up with that? Anyway, we had to think of some things to do with the 2 loaves of leftover bread we thought people would eat.
Sandwiches are always great for leftovers but at some point you have to get tired of the same sandwich for 3 days straight. My favorite thing to do with leftover bread is to make croutons. Just toss some oil and salt on some bite-sized pieces and throw them in the oven until they get brown and crispy. If you keep the croutons in a zip-lock bag they will keep for up to a week.
I’m not a huge croutons on salad person but I love eating them just as a snack or with your favorite bowl of soup. We make a great spiced chick-pea and fire-rosted tomato soup that is perfect with croutons.
Indian Spiced Chickpea soup
1/4 cup olive oil 2 cloves garlic 1 onion 26 oz chick peas2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp turmeric 1/2 tsp cardamom 2 cups vegetable broth 28 oz canned tomatoes
Saute the garlic and onion in the olive oil until soft. Add the other ingredients and bring to a boil. Remove the pot from heat and either blend in portions in a food processer of blender. Serve with croutons and plain non-fat yogurt.
Happy Eating!
