The Post about Too Much Food

My Mom loves to cook. Actually, she may not love it. I have learned that the Baby Boomer Generation can sometimes do things they don't enjoy. Like stay in jobs for 30 years, retire, and say "I hated that place." My Mom cooks at least 6 dinners a week and has for as long as I have known her (a long time...) She may or may not like to cook. No matter...

She cooked on the 4th for the family, which normally consists of 9 healthy eaters. However, 6 of them are at the beach so it was down to 3 snazzy folks. One of which is trying to eat healthier. The menu included:

• pork chops
• hot dogs
• chicken breasts
• fried green tomatoes
• caesar salad
• potato salad
• cole slaw
• pork rinds (random)
• cheesecake (my contribution)

Needless to say - there were leftovers. And, I gained 1.5 lbs.
