Here's a "fill in the blanks" assignment:
1. What is your single favorite exercise? 2. In addition to KD's books, what is your next favorite healthy cookbook? 3. After KD, who is your favorite celebrity chef? 4. What is your favorite healthy food? 5. After CT, what is your favorite cooking show?
Out of our beliefs are born deeds; out of our deeds we form habits; out of our habits grows our character; and on our character we build our destiny.
Funny story about Graham Kerr. He lives in the same County I do and his grandkids used to attend the school I student taught at (I'm sure they are out of school though
Anyway he did a cooking demo in a 2nd grade class which was very fun for the kids. About a month later the teacher kept smelling this horrible, nasty smell.
The janitor finally realized it was coming from the emergency kit which was a huge rubbermaid garbage can with tight lid. Yes, Graham thought it was the classroom garbage can and had thrown egg yolks in it cuz he had used just the whites.
It took years to get that smell out but we laugh about it now!!!
I've also heard that his garage sales are fabulous and people line up hours ahead of time I've never attempted one!

I almost asked you that! I think hiking was a primary contributor to all that weight loss. I burned mega calories one day a week...whatever gets it done. As for you Denise, it might not be 'exercise' but is sure has served as a major motivator for you!
1. What is your single favorite exercise? walking around amusement parks (and the stair climbing to get to the rides) but I also adore skating (roller & ice), biking, running, and any kind of aerobics
2. In addition to KD's books, what is your next favorite healthy cookbook? Giada DeLaurentiis' two (but I make the food healthier)
3. After KD, who is your favorite celebrity chef? tied between Giada DeLaurentiis & Alton Brown
4. What is your favorite healthy food? asparagus
5. After CT, what is your favorite cooking show? Everyday Italian, Good Eats
Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
2. In addition to KD's books, what is your next favorite healthy cookbook?
I don't remember the exact title, but it has something to do with "Recipe Rescue", by the folks at Cooking Light. They take traditional recipes and lighten them up.
3. After KD, who is your favorite celebrity chef?
Alton Brown! Paula Deen and Mario Batali would tie for second.
4. What is your favorite healthy food?
My custom nuts n twigs cereal combo
5. After CT, what is your favorite cooking show?
Good Eats

Quick&Healthy by Brenda Poichtera. I also like Cooking Light Magazine.

Rachael Ray and Giada DiLaurentis both make fast, easy, and fabulous food. 4. What is your favorite healthy food? Fruit and more fruit.I love any kind of berry or melon
5. After CT, what is your favorite cooking show? See #3 I watch all of they're shows.
Tough one. Your running response is one of my favorites, but I think I'd go with yoga. Someday I'd like to become a certified instructor. Maybe I should change my name to YogaGirl.

4. What is your favorite healthy food?

5. After CT, what is your favorite cooking show?
I don't really watch them much anymore. My husband watches "Good Eats" and I'll watch it with him, but most of them I've seen a million million times. I used to like Jamie Oliver but then he got too hyper. I love "Iron Chef" but I don't watch it much.

I have both of KD cookbooks and love them. I don't know that I have a "next favorite healthy" cookbook, I just try to make the recipes more healthy when I prepare them.

Paula Deen, Alton Brown, Rachael Ray, Giada de Laurentiis, Sarah Moulton, oh...so many of them..but not many from the newer shows.
There used to be quite a few on PBS that I really liked also. I'll have to start watching PBS again if our local station picks up KD's new show!!! I always liked Chef Marion from Victory Garden.

2. In addition to KD's books, what is your next favorite healthy cookbook?
I rarely use cookbooks, so I don't really have a favorite.
3. After KD, who is your favorite celebrity chef?
I like a lot of different people for different reasons. For example, I adore Paula Deen and Ina Garten because of the pleasure they get from cooking and eating, but I probably wouldn't use their recipes (even if I was a recipe person) because they don't cook healthy. I like Rachel Ray because she's entertaining and energetic and because her meals are on the simpler side. I like Alton Brown because he's quirky and provides so much information about food and cooking.
4. What is your favorite healthy food?
I have an entry in my journal from the last time this question was asked in a homework. I remember writing that I was so concerned that, when I went to do the homework, I couldn't really think of an answer; whereas, if you'd have asked me 5 years ago (before I was eating healthy) what my favorite food was, I could have given you a list without hesitation.
Now I am less concerned by the fact that things don't immediately pop into my head when I'm asked what my favorite healthy food is, because perhaps that means that I am less fixated on food and that's a good thing.
Actually, when I read the question this time, something DID pop into my head right away. Pasta salad. yea, I know, you may not immediately think of that as healthy food, but I make it with ww pasta, LOADS of veggies and a homemade low-in-fat but high-in-taste dressing. I'm having it for lunches this week, which is why it came immediately to mind!
5. After CT, what is your favorite cooking show?
As with #3, I don't have just one answer. I like a lot of shows for different reasons. One of my favorites is Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa because she's a great cook but also a great entertainer. I also love that she gets out and goes food shopping on her show and that she has that stunning herb and flower garden in her back yard.
