BOYS COOKING

Did you know that some cuts of pork are leaner and contain fewer calories ounce-for-ounce than chicken breast?

Did you know that white corn tortillas contain about half the calories of even the "low cal" whole wheat tortillas?

Did you know that while avocados contain a lot of fat it's the "good fat" that lowers your HDL cholesterol?

Did you know that capsaicin in hot peppers increases your metabolism and cures muscle aches and pains?

Did you know fresh lime juice makes tacos taste so much better and contains almost no calories?

Did you know that peppers and onions are delicious and can be eaten at any meal?

The ingredients shown here (except for the tortillas) make a whole mess of tacos - probably about four meals-worth for one person, or two meals for two, etc. I can eat tacos four days a week for both lunch and dinner. I love this stuff, and in moderation is really healthy.

I attempted my own "al pastore" pork, with adobo sauce and pineapple, and while I don't think mine was all that authentic it was still muy muy delicioso.

Today's lunch features the Big Easy Salad of Red Beans & Rice from Healthy Cooking for Two. I'll definitely make this again, next time adding more hot sauce. To the side, we have grape tomatoes, cantaloupe, and mini Triple-Ginger Cupcakes - one with chocolate glaze and one without.
