Help A Fat Guy Out

Balsamic glaze may sound a little foo foo but this flavorful condiment is used in my house on every thing from spinach salad, cooked greens, tomatoes, chicken, pork and is perfect on grilled fruit like pineapple.  Let's face it, you probably don't eat enough greens or fruit so make this and you will eat more of the good stuff.

Barley, Shrimp and Saffron Risotto may not sound like a hearty meal but trust me it is.  It's much heartier then a soup and during the winter the warmth of the creamy barley can quickly become a comfort food that this fat guy loves.  Make this and you'll know why all the 4 star fancy restaurants have risotto on their menus.  I've made this dish with and without saffron and while I prefer it with, it's a great dish without.

Guys, you can eat beef and still lose weight but you have to choose your beef wisely.  This is a great recipe for cooking a low fat steak and packing plenty of flavor into it.

Egg Foo Yung is perfect for a fat guy like me that's trying to lose weight.  It's packed with protein, cheap, fast and easy (hmmm..... that reminds me of something else)

Green eggs and ham was one of my favorite stories growing up and greens were always part of my diet growing up so it's no wonder that I love this recipe.  You can leave out the ham as the mushrooms add plenty of flavor but I like for sentimental reasons.

Italian Greens, Beans and Bacon Pasta is a very hearty Italian classic dish and this recipe makes it healthier for you too.  You have hearty greens, filling beans and the flavor of bacon added to your pasta.  What more could you want?

I love Korean Barbecue, known as Bulgogi and this easy and healthy recipe should fit into a busy schedule and a reasonably low fat diet.  Traditionally this is made using beef short ribs with about 25% fat but my recipe uses skirt steak with about half the fat and less then 60 calories per oz.

Yes there is such a thing as a low-fat cheese steak and this one packs a lot of flavor and can satisfy me when i want a cheese steak.  Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Fresh mushrooms and eggs make a great low fat omelet breakfast.  Add some fresh herbs and some turkey bacon and you have a breakfast that will keep the whole family happy.
