I just made palaak paneer. I love that at most given times I can make it just by going and buying some spinach (and I usually have some of that lying around too). Man Indians know how to eat mighty nice on the cheap. Top it off with a little bit of lycopene from a tomato and dessert no doubt a nice omega charged avocado.
You know what's odd? In my teen years I was anorexic. I was what was considered anorexic athletica with bulimic tendencies (so said my dietician/nutritionist). In layman's terms, I didn't eat, I exercised like a banshee and I would throw up when my parents said, "finish your potatoes missy..." It finally dawned on me one day that this was not normal and I went to see my doctor. She told me I was too smart of this 'crap' and to knock it off. I was one of those girls who did it to have control over my life from an overbearing, obsessively controlling, neo-nazi father, not because I wanted to be stick thin like Kate Moss. And now, 10ish years later, I love food. I am obsessed with eating right, yes, but I love food that is good for me, that has a good taste, that makes me feel healthy, that makes my body react with energy and excitement. I am so blessed to have those experiences to draw joy from and realize that things in life are beyond us and each even has something to do with what shapes our tomorrow. And my avocado is going to shape my tonight.
My name is Clare and I am a nutritionalfoodaholic. And damned proud of it.
Stay fresh.
