Our Lady of Weight Loss

I'm excited to share with you my two favorite BBQ recipes that are simply splendid and Our Lady of Weight Loss approved.

And as the patron saint of permanent fat removal is my witness, I swear that grilling fruit is beyond good. It is heavenly!

Enjoy these 5 Yum Recipes!

GRILLED PEACHES
Ingredients: Peaches (a little firm with a little give), Olive Oil or Canola Oil

Instructions: Cut peaches in half. Pit. Brush cut side with oil (not so much; really less is more). * Cook over medium fire on both sides until grill marks show. * Peaches are tender but definitely not falling apart! * Serve plain or with salads! Or add a bit of plain yogurt and serve up a spectacular dessert!

GRILLED PINEAPPLES

Ingredients: Whole Pineapple (cut off top, bottom, remove outside bark, then slice it into 1/2 inch pieces ). Leave the core, as it gives you a nice, sturdy spot to hold pieces!

Instructions: Put slice on medium-hot fire. * Cok until they are nicely caramelized. * Turn and do same. * Let them get nice n' brown. * Even if they look dry on the outside, they are oh so juicy on the inside.
FYI ... I've seen tons of recipes that add sugar, rum, but to the pineapple, but honestly, you don't need to. Trust in nature!

Holy Guacamole! Who would have thunk it? According to researchers at Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan, dieters with an optimistic view and high hopes for a thinner future are less likely to lose weight than their pessimistic counterparts. Optimists have a tendency to cheat more often!

Based on my own experience, I can say that on that fateful day over 9 years ago, when I rolled out of bed fatter than ever, I did not say, "Whoopee. This is going to be a cake walk." I was depressed, defeated and deprived.

When we decide to go on a 'diet,' we essentially push away from feelings of discontent. We gather a vast amount of energy from not liking ourselves, being disgusted, and ashamed of how we look. We don't like ourselves. No, we sure don't.

So take heart! If you are feeling down and defeated, you may be in a better place than you'd originally thought! Smile. But don't turn into a cheatin' optimist!!! :)

Always in search of a new fruit or vegetable, you can imagine my delight when this morning, while squeezing fruit at the Olive Market (125th street between Madison and Fifth Avenues), I stumbled upon the mysterious Kumato.

The Kumato is a tomato ... sort of. It is kind of brown, with green and red undertones. For some this may translate as less appealing than the usual red, but it's well worth stepping out of your color box.

The Kumato, originally from the Spanish Mediterranean, are sweeter than your average store-bought tomato due to their 'brix level' (fructose content). They are firm, juicy and delish and just perfect for slicing! Add to any salad or sandwich ... or just on their own.

Variety really is the spice of life, and it's definitely a good idea to introduce new, healthy foods into your daily food plan. Try the Kumato! And if you find something new, please share here!

Enjoy!

Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 - 5 September 1997), born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, was a Catholic nun of Albanian ethnicity and Indian citizenship, who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata, India in 1950.

For over 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries. Following her death she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. (Source: Wikipedia)

Here follow a dozen quotes that fill the soul.

It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

Peace begins with a smile.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.

Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.

Good works are links that form a chain of love.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

We can't blame our children for wanting to hit those devil-filled vending machines, can we? But we can take action and help put and keep our children on the healthy path! Here are some thoughtful tips on how to keep your children happy and healthy in the face of school (lunches).

Research recently published in the "Journal of Obesity" reveals that treating yourself for behavior changes (i.e. chewing slowly, using small plates, keeping your house stocked with the 'right' stuff) may ultimately help you to lose more weight than rewarding yourself based on the number on the "Scales of Injustice."

As Oscar Wilde so brilliantly put it, "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken." Some of us embrace the idea of being ourselves - a freeing concept - while others 'try' to be themselves - not exactly knowing who they are and a bit reluctant to put it out there! Here follow 8 kick-tush ways for you to be you!

The Sun is considered a positive card that reflects happiness, vitality, self-confidence, energy, joy and success. The conscious mind prevails over the unconscious. When the conscious mind says "no, thank you" to the devil's food, the unconscious mind no longer tries to pull you in a different direction.
