I would like to add a tip.. make sure you go crazy on spices, oils, vinegars, seasonings, etc. that you've never tried before. If you're satisfied with the flavor of your food, you won't want to try to make up for it with extra fat or sugar calories. Oh one more thing.. shrimp are high in cholesterol (not sure if it's the good or bad kind though). I've heard that if you're prone to getting high cholesterol you may want to eat shrimp less frequently. Cheers, Bekka Congratulations on your journey!

I realize that putting egg and cheddar cheese in oatmeal doesn't sound healthy, but I need a stick-to-your-ribs kind of breakfast and this does it for me. :) PS.

Thanks to Mark Bittman, I'm now eating mine with chicken broth, an egg, and extra-sharp cheddar cheese mixed in. It's actually really good! The beautiful thing about beans is that there are so many to choose from. I'm not a fan of red or white beans, but I love black beans and lentils. If you're a coffee drinker, MAKE YOUR OWN! It's ridiculous to spend money on coffeeshop coffee these days. I simply cannot justify buying cold cereal when oatmeal (old-fashioned or steel-cut) is so much cheaper and healthier.

One in a blue moon I splurge on meat. Since moving to Italy my meat consumption has gone way down. Not sure why. There four amazing butchers within a few blocks but I've been eating more fish, veggies, and pasta dishes. I'm so looking forward to the spring when other vegetables/fruits will be in season. I'm kind of citrused out. Sardines are also cheap and a great resource for omega3 and I think protein. Veggies, beans and rice, pasta.

I still feel guilty for turning my husband back into a beef eater when we first lived together because I refused to eat meals made with ground turkey. When I decided to kick the red meat habit about a year ago a friend suggested using ground chicken, it doesn't have the aftertaste that ground turkey has. Now I substitute ground chicken for ground beef or turkey in any recipe. Bella, I’m with your husband on the ground turkey.

The food usually tastes better, is cheaper, and you have more control over the quality of ingredients used. I prefer to use fresh vegetables as much as possible (I'm so excited that spring and summer are just around the corner). If you get them from a farmer's market or even an International grocery store (easier to find if you live in a metropolitan area), the produce is relatively cheap. Check out my food blog, http://flavordiva.com, for more recipes and tips. My focus is on reclaiming the culinary legacy of black women and cooking nourishing, flavorful food. I've also taken the 50MP Challenge, and in the time that I've been blogging and cooking more often, I've lost 10 pounds. I'm working on another 10 to get to my ideal weight. So you can enjoy tasty, good food and manage your weight too! I’m definitely a strong advocate for cooking your own food at home.
