Food! Food! Food!

This blog is for food lovers! Whether you love to cook, or just eat (either home or out), this blog is for you!

I love to cook and eat! My mother was Italian, so that's my take on things, but I don't limit myself. Good food is good food!

I once weighed 517 pounds, but had gastric bypass in 2006. I lost 275 pounds and have kept most of it off since then.

I still cook regular food. There's nothing I can't eat. I just eat much less of it!  But it still tastes good to me!

Going out to a restaurant is a treat. I'll go to Wendy's (love the chili!) as soon as to Mirabelle (in Stony Brook. I have yet to get this great restaurant). Right now, I'm in a Carrabba's groove. They really cook there and the food is wonderful. I go to the Central Islip store most often.

My favorite thing to cook it pasta with meatballs and neck bones.  Oh man does that stir up some great childhood memories! What's your favorite pasta shape? I used to love, love, love Ronzoni Margherite. A flat, twisted long pasta. Alas, they no longer make it.  However, they do make my fave, fave, fave shape Rigatoni! These days, because I am a gastric bypass patient, I eat mostly Barilla Plus because they add protein to it and I need all the protein I can ingest since my surgery.

So, this is my first post. Hopefully, we can have a long and fun relationship!

Please feel free to comment. If you have a blog, let's follow each other! Maybe we can teach each other something.

I'm no professional chef, so I am always looking to learn a thing or two.  However, I do know how to cook, for sure.

Thanks for stopping by!

Eat well!
