Michael loves a good french fry every now and then. Before we got married Michael would eat lots of fries from McDonalds, Whataburgar, etc. Problem is those fries come from non-organic potatoes (i'll talk about that later) and they are fried in hydrogenated vegetable oil.
The best oil to use when deep frying is grapeseed oil and peanut oil. Be sure not to heat the oil above 340 degrees. After that, it becomes toxic to the body (again, I will talk more about that later). Enjoy the photos...Let me know if you have questions.

Michael is a Bacon Cheese Burger kind of guy. I personally am a little more city than my Michael. I like things more gourmet, more savory, more exquisite. That is why I like my blue Cheese Burger over a bacon cheese burger.

I cant say it enough..."MY MICHAEL" is amazing. He does wonderful things for me everyday including making me special dinners. Several nights ago he said he was going to make me Eggplant Parmesan. I was thrilled for the yummy meal and excited knowing I could photograph him doing it :)
Without further adieux..My Michael
Did you know that the coconut is making a comeback? There are so many wonderful things about coconuts. Plus they are incredibly delicious!
Did you know that coconuts are neither fruits nor nuts? They are actually seeds. Here are a few of the benefits of the coconut:
Coconut water has a ton of advantages. It is full of potassium and electrolytes and is incredibly hydrating. When you drink coconut water it is almost immediately absorbed into your cells.
Coconut milk is higher in fat and protein than coconut water and it makes a delicious addition to stews and soups. You can also use it in place of dairy in products like ice cream.
Coconut oil is an amazing product. It is high in a type of fatty acid that does not require typical digestion. These types of fatty acids get used as fuel almost immediately upon eating them. This can help with weight loss because the body will start metabolizing the fat rather than storing it.

Raw foods are much better for you than cooked food. Cooking the food tends to kill valuable nutrients associated with the veggie, fruit, etc. As often as I can, I try to eat as raw. The reason I drink my "Green Drink" is for two reasons. #1 Folic acid and #2 Calcium.
At first glance it may look sickening, but trust me, Its AMAZING. And so good for you. You will feel full and have lots of great energy to go running.
Try it and tell me what you think. I am dying to know!

My husband came to me the other day and said, "I am going to make some Pasta". Well, as a newly wed and a woman who is completely in love with her husband, I wanted nothing more than to make it for him. Sooo, he went upstairs and I went to cooking.
He is a simple man, who does not require much. I however, like a little more gourmet, so I whipped out some veggies, spices, and my best oils.
And voila...Pasta a la Aurora
