Size Matters

It's delicious to eat strawberry short cake, flans, pies... There are so many "temptations" out there and they are so good that it is so difficult to say no. Yes, I know. I struggle with that every single day. But even though I love to eat, my life is not, only, about that.

I do want to have all the delicious sugary goodies but even if they put in front of me a huge ice cream (one of my favorite things ever), I'm just going to have so bites. Or all share it with a friend and my body will thank me latter on.

That is a fact: as time goes by you are gain more energy (fat) than you are spending. If you want to look great and still have all the pleasures that food can offer you just have to stay active and have small portions. 

Other good tip is eat a lot of fruit and salads (keep an eye on the dressing to), avoid fried dishes and you will have plenty of calories left to your dessert. It's not a matter of vanity. It's a matter of health.

I do love food, specially sweets, but I think as one of the people that found the balance between the two worlds I should make a little time to bring out the topic. 

Think about it...  

Sweet Basketball - Go Celtics

Are french fries and chicken wings the best food to watch a basketball game? Specially if you are experiening the sweet taste of victory...

 Since I don't drink beer, I made myself some fondant walnuts that were in-cre-di-ble!!! I ate the whole thing during the Celtics game. The fondant recipe is easy (sorry it's in the european measurement system but you can easily find the correspondent in the US over here on the internet, witch I didn't have time to do):

Fondant

1 kilogram of sugar

330 grams of water

- Put the water than the sugar and let it boil until 116 degrees celsious. Wet the table, put the mixture on top and let it rest for a while. Mix with a spatula nonstop until it gets white (about 15 minutes). Add the walnuts and, if you want, dip it into chocolate or caramel (more sugar - yummy ).
