“How do you lose weight when you cook & post all of this good food?”

Over the last year, I have been asked this question at least once a day, it seems. On July 29, 2019, I saw a picture of myself, and made a decision to be healthier. It is posted here for you as an accountability. It was not an easy decision to make a change. I liked my lifestyle, and I am a person that really loves to eat good food. I love everything about it. I hate exercising on top of it.

So, how do I lose weight when I cook delicious food and bake beautiful cakes?

The answer is this:

1. Eat Less: Pay attention to What I Eat And How Much I Eat
2. Move More: Pay attention to Exercise, and actually do it.
3. Pray A Lot (I could probably move this to #1)

My family loves entertaining and having fun. We especially love LSU Football and Mardi Gras. I will post a lot of recipes that will feed a crowd as well as a few that will feed a small family. I had to learn how to scale down meals, so we would not waste a lot of food. The recipes (and pictures) that I post will definitely have a few stories woven in. I started this blog to share the recipes that I was creating while I was forced to stay home this summer. It turned out to be one of the most fun, rewarding times of my life.

In line with my love of fresh food and building new friendships, I also work as an Independent Consultant with Pampered Chef (in addition to my day job). I’ve used the cooking tools, training, recipes, and tips from Pampered Chef to create mealtime moments with family and friends everyday, and occasionally I will share my favorite ones with you here on this blog! I will also share recipes that I developed personally or adapted from one of my favorite cookbooks. My Pampered Chef website is www.pamperedchef.com/pws/jwrkitchen.
