Work out & Enjoy!



















Pork recipe: (Probably could substitute a roast beef, lamb roast)

On cutting board, chop up very finely Rosemary, add grated pepper & salt; and mix right into the board. Then get the rolled up roast, fat side down first; and roll it and then do the other side. Sear the roast in some olive oil and butter. Then put in oven to cook for about an hr. Also, have chopped onions and garlic in pan...Oh, use the rest of the spices from the cutting board, to sprinkle on top of roast.

Roast potatoes & onion recipe:

Potatoes - have them already pre cut and cooked (5 min) Then put them in an oven proof dish, add butter & margarine, and onions (looked like red onions - Spanish? International!).Season. Then add half a bottle of cheap Balsamic vinegar. Yes, go for it!. This will adhere to the potatoes and onions, as they cook together, along with the seasoned and oil/butter mixture, already in the dish.. Cook for about 50 to 60 mins; and the vinegar will have caramelized the potatoes and onions. MMMMMmmmmmmm...

I decided this am to "work out" on our Tony Gazelle machine. (see above photo image) It has been sitting idle, in our second / guest room since we moved here. Well, there is also a TV in there; it is an old timer (was my parents); but it still works! Does not have tons of channels; but it is enclosed in a beautiful Asian / mahogany antique cabinet. I think that is part of the "old world" charm!

Of course, there was a food channel; and oh yum.....it caught my interest. I think I gained a few tid pounds; just from watching! And yet, the idea was to get into a bit better shape! LOL!

Tidbit - "Food for thought". Utilize and have fun with it! Thought I would share what I could remember from the 2 recipes with you. You may want to add other ingredients or substiute the meat or veggies. In our bittidz garden, we have some onions, and rosemary; and some other tidbitz herbs, that I will throw in. Sounds intriguing, with the Balsamic vinegar. Am going to "run with it;" as well as using the machine daily. Good way to gather recipes! "Food for thought!"

Bittid - Enjoy!

Have to run for now.
