About me
May your life be good and beautiful! Mine is!
These images capture my evolution from March 2019 to the present!
For me, the challenge of 2020 was translating concepts like “changing eating habits”, caloric deficit, maintenance, and the distribution of calories and macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat) into my daily menu, through the recipes I cook and publish on this site.
Moderation, culinary variety, the way food is prepared, and the ingredients used are the “secrets” that accompany the food I choose to eat; I changed the way I cook certain dishes (using the oven more often, an oil-free pan, an air fryer, the grill), I eat fish at least once a week, I replaced roasted nuts with raw ones, I discovered the taste of foods like — soy beans, lentils, chickpeas, skyr yogurt; I prefer grilled vegetables (mushrooms, zucchini) from which I quickly prepare a delicious salad; I replace the oil in salads with a dressing prepared differently each time, depending on my taste and mood: I prefer balsamic vinegar, dill, and garlic. Exercise and good spirits are also within my reach and help me maintain good physical and mental wellbeing.
I haven't given up any food, because I believe that decision is not sustainable; it's not what we eat in moderation that makes us gain weight, but how much of a given food we eat!
More about me will be “told” by my recipes, which I always prepare with love and sometimes with a trusty helper — my little boy.
The testimonials from loved ones and people who share their congratulations with me are a source of courage and confidence that I can contribute through personal example and my own recipes to healthy, tasty, and appealing home cooking!
Stay well, everyone!
