Hubby had this for dinner during a recent business trip…

It’s a 26 oz. T-Bone steak…medium well.  He’s still having sweet dreams about it upto now.  I say he very well deserved every ounce of this steak.  He has been doing a very good job keeping to a healthy diet that he can indulge in meals like this occasionally, specially when it’s free!  *wink*  He sent me this picture via email.  If only joining hubby for that meal were as easy as having to just click here. 

Here’s a sample of a typical “homemade lunchable/s” that I prepare for my first grader…

It’s my fourth year packing lunches for my girl.  But I must say, I’ve come quite a long way.  During the first year or so, I used to rely heavily on frozen, overly processed, just-reheat-in-the-microwave-or-oven type of food: chicken nuggets, fish sticks and store-bought dimsum.  As I slowly settled in my role as domestic goddess, I learned to make a lot of stuff from scratch and was even surprised at how easy a lot of them are to make.

I don’t see making lunches for my daughter as a chore.  I actually love doing it.  Besides, like I always say, I don’t have an excuse not to.  A lot of times I’m tempted to make hubby and me, lunches that resemble my daughter’s, you know, in cute little containers.  That’s major portion control if you ask me and will keep me from having to browse for weight loss pill reviews, not that I ever had the need to. *wink*

Cheers!
