Staples of My Diet and My Kitchen
Porkchops fresh off my so-called outdoor grill.
Now that I am working out a lot, I am eating more food while trying to be a bit more conscious as to what I’m putting in my body. I’ll write a proper blog entry on that later, but here’s a quick rundown of the staples of my diet:
- non-fat yogurt with fruit on the bottom
- low-carb yogurt with fruit
- low-fat or non-fat hormones-free milk
- bacon
- Healthy Choice or Lean Cuisine frozen dinners (for snacks)
- a variety of regular teas and herbal teas
- eggs
- white rice
- whole wheat or multigrain pasta
- honey
- coffee
- meat
I buy whatever meats are on sale that week at Ralphs. This saves me money and keeps my diet interesting. Sometimes it’s pork spareribs, sometimes it’s Argentine scallops or top sirloin steaks or chicken drumsticks. I’m not very picky when it comes to meat. I love meat and I don’t really discriminate! Not a big fan of offal, lamb or turkey though.
I am trying to add more vegetables into my diet. I like vegetables, I really do, they’re just a bit more work to prepare than a steak. I love eating and cooking meat because I usually just prefer my meats deep-fried. Though I don’t deep-fry my steaks, I love browning ground beef til crispy and eating with a bowl of jasmine rice and a splash of fish and chili sauce. Easy and satisfying!
Today however, I had some pork chops that I decided to grill instead of fry. I marinaded them for a few hours in this Pork Chop Marinade recipe from About.com. I had all the ingredients on hand and it was very easy to throw together. Then I fired up my “grill” which is actually an oversized and stylized George Foreman grill that has been designed for both indoor and outdoor use. I could use it inside, but I worry about the smoke setting off the alarms so I use it on my little balcony instead. It’s a small space but it works wonderfully!
