Chris Cooks Healthy
Here's an email from Chris, past Food Fight winner and Desert Island Foods™.com fan:
I made a couple simple things today, and thought I'd share.First up was breakfast. This is mini bagels with a salmon cream cheese and fresh spinach. I was wishing I would've added a little red onion and capers. A step further would've been plain cream cheese and more smoked salmon.
Next up lunch. After getting some exercise in, we just wanted simple. This is bow tie pasta, with a little red onion, handful of black beans, and pesto, romano cheese. Maybe I like red onion too much. Could've left the black beans out, though.
As I read Chris's email, being the hedonist that I am, I kept thinking of things to add- grilled sausage to the pasta, sauteeing the spinach and adding a poached egg to make a sort of Eggs Florentine, etc., but then I stopped long enough to admonish myself; "Hey, idjit, he's trying to cook healthy!"
I need to do more of this myself. Thanks, Chris! His breakfast is below the fold.
Got food pics to share? Email me!

I thought about adding the poached egg too. That's not totally unhealthy either considering it's not fried. It's loaded with protein and if I remember right, the good cholesterol too. It'd be great with the fresh spinach. I couldn't help but think of the sausage in the pasta too. Do you think adding ground turkey might help?
