How to change your eating habits

Don't we all want to be healthy?  Have you tried to change your eating habits yet fail every attempt?  Maybe your train of thought got in the way of the demands of you stomach.  They say it is mind over matter and when it comes to food, it really does.

We don't wake up all of a sudden and realize that our clothes don't  fit or notice the extra skin hanging on to our guts.  It gradually appears, we just choose to keep a blind eye to the subliminal signs.  So when you are trying to change your habits to loose weight keep the same mind set.  There is no miracle pill, power, or juice that will magically melt away all the bad decisions made over a period of time.

So to avoid failure start small.  Skip the extra helping, trade the side of fries with a side salad, drink water for a whole day twice a week.  Then gradually change one to two bad habits for better options.  The last thing you want to do is pig out on Sunday and swear on your life and the pair of pants you want to fit that tomorrow you will begin a new start.  Your body is going to fight you all the way.  Think of the drastic change as a shock to the body, well, because it is.  If you have drank soda on a daily basis for a long period of time and decide to swear it all off, be prepared to be on crabby patty.  Not to mention the physical withdrawals your body will endure.  Headaches, fatigue, mood swings are the first to be noted.  So it is better for all of us if you slowly downgrade daily consumption of bad habits.

All of those who detest exercising like myself, find other aerobic activities to  enjoy.  I am not buying a membership to a gym to be surrounded by a fashion freak show or to be ridiculed, no thanks.  I will go ahead and move my kitchen appliances and deep clean making sure I am working up a sweat for 30 minutes a day.  That is the key, get your hear rate up for just 30 minutes a day is a great start.  Then after awhile, maybe go for 45 minutes. Again adjust healthy change gradual, don't freak your body or yourself out.How do you eat?

What Are Tobacco Onions | Recipe for Angry Onions

What Are Tobacco Onions - Are they the same as angry onions? Tobacco, a.k.a. angry onions have been all the rage in culinary creations. Many cooks have asked what are Tobacco onions, and how did they acquire  such a name?  Tobacco onions inherited their name simply by how the onions look after they have been prepared; little dark shreds similar to tobacco due to the spicy seasonings mixed with flour and thin strips of raw onion dredged and fried.  As many cooks and chefs discovered, this description did not sit well with customers as Tobacco is a taboo name now a days.

As I wrote the first article about cranberry recipes I began to think of all the recipes I have created both for food and drinks, and with the holidays approaching I couldn't stop myself to add some more.  Theses recipes with cranberries are a bit out of the box and will test your palette's threshold, which does not mean I am going to be sharing my recipe for sweetbreads and cranberry demi glaze, although very delectable not many like sweetbreads and they can be challenging to find.
