EAT - O U T S I D E

Take it outside people.  A warm summer evening, good friends, good food and a nice bottle of wine out on the deck, by the pool or in the backyard.  Al fresco, an Italian word that means "fresh, cool", hence ="in a cool place". On a side note in Italian Al fresco also is a slang term for being in jail - hmmm not so sure about this but that's what Wikipedia says.  Okay, back to eating outside with friends, the grill is going, the wine is flowing, conversation is causal and the atmosphere is party like. Who cares if it's Monday night, it's summer and it's all right!

For me eating healthy does not have to be boring and bland. You can take the simplest purest ingredients and make the most amazing and good for you food. I remember when I was in Paris, I had been out shopping and when I came back into the apartment I was hit with the most amazing aroma ever. My dad had just put a sandwich into the oven to heat up. It consisted of fresh baguette, ham and cheese....that was it. Nothing else. Three simple, pure non processed ingredients. That day changed my eating habits forever.
So, today I started my day with oatmeal... Oatmeal you say, oh how boring, not my oatmeal. I cooked up some multi-grain oatmeal, added fresh blackberries and raspberries, sprinkled with a little brown sugar and low fat milk. Delicious!
