Discover the Secrets of Good health

Oh how I wish I could fill this space with carefully crafted stories of food and health, with postcard-perfect pictures of delectable treats. How I wish to cuddle with my laptop and dream a foodie dream with you.
Instead, I’m here at work at 12:21 AM writing a post to let you know that I’m [...]

When I last left off, I was discussing my motivation behind finally starting a serious exercise regimen. The ultimate goal (other than a healthier me) is to compete in this year’s Peachtree Road Race.
I’m now 8 weeks into my 16 weeks of preparation and training, and I’ve come to learn that training for a [...]

So you didn’t think that I went through all that trouble to make my own sausage just to heat it up in the microwave, did you? No the only proper cooking method for Texas-style sausage is low and slow with plenty o’ smoke.
One of my new years’ resolutions for NTSC was to actually smoke something [...]

So this is a few weeks late, but I’d like to officially celebrate Never Trust a Skinny Chef’s second birthday! It seems like yesterday, but two years ago I was sitting at my computer writing my first (real) post about visiting my family for Easter. Here’s my contribution to the Easter egg hunt this [...]

Not many people know this, but if I could be anything in the world I’d probably be a butcher. No, not some Fast Food Nation-type meat packer, but an old-school turn-of-the-century butcher of the Texas [...]

This is my second installment in my 437 part series “Better know a condiment”. In this issue, we’ll discuss an often eaten, but seldom prepared condiment from south of the border.
More than a few hours of my life have been spent trying to devise a way to keep boneless skinless chicken breasts from looking [...]

Smell that bacon cookin’ sizzle,
Whisking eggs and biscuits rise,
Hear the fresh-brewed coffee shout
Awaken, all! Make-fast! Arise!
Waffles hiss and spit and sputter,
Flapjacks jumping, golden brown.
Last night’s spuds turn this morn’s hash,
OJ gulping, going down!
Who to greet this dawny feast?
Scratchy faces, droopy lids!
Who to crunch and slurp and chew?
Sunny mommies, screaming kids!
“Hail!” to all who work the [...]

So I hate spam as much as the next guy, but this was too funny. I’m not one for supplements (although weight-loss pill peddling sites fill up my inbox with link requests), but after this amazing copy I think I might buy a bottle…
The newest and most attracting flesh loss product is now easily [...]

I got some wicked awesome news today! My entry check was cashed today, meaning I’m going to join 55,000 runners this 4th of July in the Peachtree Road Race!
For those of you who live in the ATL you know what I’m talking about. For all of y’all who don’t, the P-Tree is a [...]

I had grand plans for posting my latest and greatest recipe last Monday, but I had a little trouble at the office.

Anyhoo, I’ve [...]
