Almost Wordless Wednesday: Merry Christmas

December 28, 2011 By 7 Comments

arroz-con-gandules

This year we decided to visit my in-laws. We had a fantastic time and were able to create some great memories. One of them, was our impromptu Christmas Eve dinner. I wanted to do a roast pork – acclaimed by my family – as a way to help my mom-in-law in the kitchen. From there it evolved to having a typical puertorican Xmas dinner: Arroz con gandules y pernil.

I cooked a lot of food for 6 people and felt so accomplished when there was almost no pork left and no rice at all! Yeap… mission accomplished!

Working on a Better Dinner 1/90

July 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

And so it begins. My goal is to take pictures of what I’m having for dinner for 90 days to keep me accountable. I’m also looking forward to see these pictures “get” healthier and healthier.

Not the best option to start but I did choose to have the sandwich on wheat bread. That’s a mini-mini win.

I also did the first day of RevABS.
