Home Cooking Tips

Home-cooking is a great way to lose weight and eat healthy.  You can cook at home with basic, whole food ingredients and have more control over what goes in your mouth.  Even something as simple as making your own chicken sauce (instead of using condensed cream of chicken soup) will save you calories, sodium, fat, and eliminate monosodium glutamate.  It will also taste fabulous.

Here are some other tips to remember:
  1. Avoid dough that is sold in a tube.  That pop! is the sound of the button on your skinny jeans Wranglers popping off. 
  2. Avoid cheese product.  Stick with cheese.
  3. Don't buy foods with the word "Grandma" or a picture of a Grandma.  Your grandma didn't make it.
  4. Frozen bagged mixed veggies aren't for poor folk.  Nope.  They're for skinny folk.  They're one of my fave convenience foods.
  5. Eggs are cheap and healthy and good.  Buy lots.
  6. Read ingredient lists like a love-sick vampire.  Make it an obsession.  My fave foods are ones without ingredient lists.
  7. Make something amazing TONIGHT!!

  1. I promise to live by these brilliant rules. You totally rock, Queenie.

    And for Christmas I am giving all the grandkids a treat called "Grandma's Best Something or Other" to mess up Rule #3.
