Cheese Sauce - Not incredibly healthy - Be warned!!!
This is my Fiance Mailies favorite dish, and one that I learnt how to make as a kid (when I was not as health concious) - That being said it is made with organic butter and healthy pasta and that sort of thing, but its definetely not healthy down the right side (see my previous post about left side right side health)
Recipie for the sauce. - This makes ALOT
1/2 Cup Butter
1/2 Cup Flower
3 - 4 Cups Milk (depends on how thick you want the sauce to be)
500 Grams Cheddar Cheese (i prefer old, mailie prefers mild)
Pinch of salt
1-2 Bottles of Organic Spagetti Sauce (whichever you like)(depends on how ROSEA you want your sauce)
I usually end up freezing half of the cheese sauce and only mixing in 1 can of spagetti sauce - still makes TONS of sauce - enough for 8 people.
The beginning is the only slightly tricky part.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, be sure not to get it very hot.
Then slowly mix in the flower, adding maybe a tablespoon at a time and making sure its blended in well. Keep the heat VERY low as to now cook this mixture - This is called a Rue and makes the base to alot of sauces - get good at making a rue and you can become a master sauce maker.
Next mix in the milk. very slowly and turning the heat up slightly maybe to a 2 or 3 setting on your stove out of 10... so still very low.
Cut the cheese in easy melting slices - stir into the sauce and heat it up (do not turn up the heat! - you cant cook the sauce or it goes chunky) Stir very often, almost constantly until the cheese has melted in. - Again be sure to keep the temperature LOW
Mix in the spagetti sauce and some salt. Mix well.
If the sauce seems chunky it could be that you had the head too high, it could be taht the cheese you used was crap... in any case there is a solution - Throw the whole sauce mixture into a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds.
Thats it.
Cook chicken or sea food and some pasta and voila.
Easy and best in my opinion is sea food. Cook the pasta with the frozen sea food medly and strain together. Once the pasta is 2 minutes out from being done, put the frozen medly in, as soon as it starts to boil again its done - Strain and serve.

Bison Meatloaf
I cooked more bison meatloaf on Sunday and it is bloody amazing!
Recipie is simple
3 Pounds Lean Ground Bison
2 Free Range Eggs
1/2 Cup Bread Crubs (organic)
3 Tbsp Bbq Sauce - I did not measure so this is a guess
5 Tbsp Ketchup - Also did not measure
2 Tbsp Louisianna Hot Sauce - Not measured
Salt & Pepper - Fresh Ground
Mix up - Put in bread pan (Pyrex)
Squirt ketchup on top and lots of salt.
Bake @ 350 for 2 hours
Honestly the whole thing took me less than 10 minutes to prepare, probably more like 5.
I like it with wild/brown rice combo.
Mailie likes it with Mashed potatoes...

Food
I have Bison Lasagna again today I am excited to eat it!
I would consider it quite healthy.
I have a simple way of describing healthy food.
I call it - Right side Left side
The left side is - Natural - Organic - No MSG
the right side is - Low Calorie - Low Saturated Fat - High Protein
So to give you a few examples.
This Bison Lasagna is very healthy on the left side, its all natural, not exactly organic but at least its not hormone injected beef! and definetely has no MSG or artificial crap in it.
On the right side its not too bad but not as good as some meals.
A twinkie for instance is just horrible on both sides.
A low calorie protein shake would be healthy on the right side, but really bad on the left side (artificial sweetners)
Free Range Roasted chicken breast with organic baby greens + advocado salad = healthy on both sides.
So in summary. In my opinion its OK to go down the right side sometimes, i.e. the Lasagna and home made tasty meals... But the left side needs to stay off limits.. Aspartame is not good in ANY quantity, nor is MSG... Organic you can try to do as much of as you can but I know it is very hard... There is not that much difference between most things organic.
The two I absolutely stick to is Organic Butter & Free Range Eggs
Eggs simply because they taste so much better - they are nice an orange yolks, they remind me of eggs from back east.
Butter is a concentrated form of toxins! If you are going to buy anything organic it should be butter.

Spice
My core was actually a little sore this weekend from Spice whole body vibration. I managed to hold my core tight the whole 10 minutes and I feel like I really did work my core!
I am actually considering not going to the gym today... but I will probably go anyways.
My rotator on my right side is very tender, I think from the shoulder excersize on friday.
WORK THROUGH THE PAIN!!!
