Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

Do any of you know how to make the zuchinni less watery? I tried drying it on paper towels and I tried putting salt on it.

If I try to make zuchinni bread it just won't cook. There is just this slobbery mess of a batter after cooking it. It is good batter though, so not complaining. I found myself head first in several bowls of batter during this experiment.

I also tried making zuchinni spagetti by roasting it in the oven and ripping it with a fork, didn't turn out so well

We just gave up on the zucchini spiral thing for pasta and sauce. Even tried to flash fry on high heat to omit watery results. Failure. I love a good Bolognese sauce - So, we now have it over baked spaghetti squash which has work pretty well. And, trying to learn to enjoy sauce without being over former homemade pastas. Being half Italian - I really do miss the family recipes handed down for generations but healthier for it. ?

Some wonderful delectables for Mom Tealael this weekend celebration! I have never tried foxnuts? How do they taste? ;]

Simple salad for today's lunch. Would have loved some of those dates on it! We are painting and re-decorating my home office + studio this weekend while marinated pork carnitas are slow roasting in oven for our Cuban supper tonight, as a DIY reward! LOL. Adore authentic Cuban food having spent many years living in Miami/Coral Gables. Did set designs for Miami Vice show, too. Anyone remember the original show with Don Johnson? When Billy Crocket went undercover to penetrate the drug cartel... we did his character's ultra-sleek luxury modern home on Biscayne Bay. Long days on set design we'd order Cuban take-out delivery. Yum! Feeling rather sentimental these days... Thanks for letting me ramble on. ;]

Yum!! I think it might be coz mangoes taste sooo decadant and delicious, they are high in carbs, but sooo yummy!

More Dim Sum

Of course I remember Miami Vice! I never watched it but it was so popular everyone knew about it. I think we are about the same age.

Oh Cheeseburgh, Miami was a brilliant and vibrant city to live + work as a young designer! A lot of up and coming talent on the scene... Loved it. My sorority sister from U of Miami dated Don Johnson briefly when he was separated on and off from Melanie Griffith. But before fame - the real heart throb was Andy Garcia, a senior when I was a freshman at FIU. On the weekends, all us girls would hit Coconut Grove to hear our favorite band - The Miami Sound Machine featuring unknown Gloria Estefan, at that time. Fun. I still crank up her greatest hits for dancing! ;]
