in Introduce Yourself
For some reason, I ended up with mostly pro-anorexia girls on my MFP. I need friends who are positive, motivated, and want to lose weight the healthy way! I offer motivation and encouragement and I would like the same in return. Plus, I love to cook and come from the South...land of the fried foods. So I've taken it upon myself to re-invent my favorite soul food recipes to make them healthier, and I'm always happy to swap recipes! :)

    I'm in the south too and it's so hard but I love finding healthier versions of the foods my fiance and kids are used to eating. Half the time I can just cut the amount of butter or oil in half and not even notice a difference. It makes me wonder why it was even in there to begin with! I'll send you a request :)

    Hmmm. Maybe I will do a blog with original recipes converted healthier? If I can figure it out. I'm super new to MFP...
    Downside is, I don't measure, so when people ask me for a recipe it's always "add this til it tastes good, a pinch of this, a few shakes of this".... I will try tho :)

    Luv to cook and always trying to make recipes healthier. I am not from the south but being Mexican I sure know that fried foods taste so much better but I have to admit southern cooking takes the cake. I have learned to bake my tacos instead of frying...let just say baked tacos are good but tacos fried brings me back to my mother/grandmother/great-grandmothers kitchens and how incredibly good a fried taco taste. Feel free to add me...would luv to exchange recipes.
