I have looked at my self and I like the person
that my work has been creating.
Now I want more so I will work more on me.
I have no time to worry and think about what
others will do or will think of me.
I am working on me and it is OK.
Gang Stay Focused And Stay Successful.

Share the love gang.
We must love ourselves enough to take the time
to take care of ourselves and those we care about.
We can show and share love with the meals we cook.
In order to take care of others we must take care of
ourselves. In order to accomplish our hopes and dreams
we must take care of our bodies first.
A meal might not seem so important, but those of us
working on losing the weight, regaining our health,
it is very important. It is center in our day-to-day.
Weight loss is never easy so we must take every single
opportunity that presents itself to make a difference,
even a small difference is important.
Do not forget: Every meal counts. Every calorie counts.

For those of us with a passion for cooking,
and the creation of great meals for us and
our loved ones, the term chef carries weight,
carries passion and a responsibility to the whites.
Those of us with the passion, and a desire to gain
control over our weight it becomes even more
important, and an intrinsic part of our day-to-day.
The knowledge to make a meal low carb, low salt,
paleo, or whatever the current “trend” is makes a
world of difference.
I personally know that the knowledge has helped
me and others with the battle of the pounds.
I guess my suggestion is: Learn as much as you can
and use it. For the longest time I used to cook once
a week, for the whole week. It helped me stay on track
and I enjoyed that day creating good, tasty, flavorful,
nutritious meals within my diet limitations. My diet
for many years has been: Low fat, Low sodium,
Low carb meals. I really enjoyed grilling meats and
vegetables for my meals. I also made at least two different
soups enough for 4 meals at least.
Cooking, good cooking is a pleasure. Learn and
take your skills for a spin.
Stay focus remain successful.

So simple isnt it?

Sometime ago while still active in the Work Force
I was Executive Chef for Banner Health Systems.
During that time I had a chance to work with some
great talent but I also had a chance to see the amazing
difference between a real and an implied chef.
I worked with J. Mazza a then young, inspired and very
creative chef. I also worked with some amazing cooks.
And the passion that this guys had was so amazing that
quieted down the negative noise and bad JUJU that we all
had to deal with from our Director. It was an inspiration
that stayed with me. We knew that we were making an
impact on every single patient in that hospital.
I have also worked with lazy ass cooks that all they can
do is talk about how somewhere in the past they “used”
to do this or the other and go on and on about mother
sauces. Or the implied chef that best they can do is buy
a bag of cubed cheese or pre-made pastries and present
it as Haute Cousine.
Let us honor some real true culinarians.
Joe Mazza Banner health. Matt Williams Iasis Health.
Lilly Mae Hanes Gerald Champion Memorial.
Adelina Castaneda Carondelet Health.
Darryl Dunn and Hung Lee form Iasis Health Care.
Health Care cooking is hardest because of the pre-conceived
idea that institutional food is bad. Let me tell you
you would be lucky to eat food prepared by this gang
of culinary misfits.
Gang we might be on a diet or trying to lose weight but
that does not mean that we should not enjoy our food.
In large it is me wanting to enjoy food while simultaneously
wanting to lose weight that pushed me towards the Atkins
Diet. I love bacon. I am not quitting bacon so here I am.
Find a new restaurant. Go to the heart hospital if you are
in the Phoenix area and have one of their award-winning
burritos. Yes they are that good. Gang find something to
enjoy. Go eat something new something exciting.
Stay focus stay successful.
