Corn + Me = Love
I've been thinking about cornbread for weeks now, so I just decided to bake some. Note the amazing molded pan!
Had all the ingredients at hand but the egg. That's what neighbors are for, right? I actually went next door to get an egg!
I spiced up the bread with some scallions, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Perfect with butter and sprinkle of seasalt.
It may not be fitness but it'll make a great dinner! I'm thinking cheese and some herbs for next time...

Sunday Dinner
Last night Mamacita spearheaded what can only be described to as a fitness dinner for the family.
I took charge of the halibut. Made a nice rub of fresh garlic, peppercorns, salt, cayenne, crushed red pepper flakes, coriander seeds and oregano. Then smothered the fish in olive oil and set those puppies on the grill. Once grilled I doused them in fresh lemon juice and served. Halibut is always my favorite so I was happy to chow down!
There were three salads. Three!! One was just a basic romaine lettuce and veggie salad - a Kousakis family dinner staple.
My sister made up a delicious heirloom grape tomato and bocconcini salad, dressed with oil and balsamic.
And mom roasted some beets and tossed them with mixed greens, carrots, sweet corn and feta. I love roasted beets and how they bleed all over everything, including the white cheese! The sweet/salty combo of the beets and feta is unparalleled.
All in all it was a perfectly healthy, perfectly delectable meal.

Peasants' Rations
A huge and integral part of the fitness lifestyle is the peasants' ration.
Eating enough to satiate the hunger but by no means indulging oneself is a fine art that dates back to the ancient samurai.
Room 907 and I have been subscribing to the peasants' ration credo for years now. Here is our latest light lunch:
Tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, oil, balsamic.
