As anyone knows, someone who exercises and trains as a full-time career MUST eat well--and a lot! I'm a foodie, there's no doubt about it. I think anyone who works out all the time needs at least a GREAT MEAL once during the day (that's not saying I don't eat every meal, but they aren't as time-consuming as I always like them to be). I enjoy eating not only for energy, but for the pure pleasure of food and company just like everyone else! When I go out to dinner, I love it all...the lovely wine, the chopped salad, the fresh fish, and the gorgeous smell of garlic fries over my left shoulder that I try to ignore...
My point is, there are so many different types of foods to enjoy and people to enjoy them with! However, when you don't always have the chance to hit the town for a fabulous meal, let alone the cash flow, you need to learn how to cook (even if its just simple appetizers or spaghetti!) For me, it all started with the wonderful guidance from my mother. When I went off on my own years ago, I no longer had the great advantage of my mom's home cooked meals (teardrop...). That's when I started creating the meals I craved--but couldn't always afford--on my own time and budget!
Here are a few links to recipes I think are wonderful, healthy and ones to keep in your recipe book or cooking drawer. Not all of us are cooks, but with the right recipe we can all pretend...can't we? :)
