The hit NBC show Biggest Loser, along with others like it have sparked some interesting local office weight loss challenges.
Cooking by the Book received a call from HBO wanting to celebrate their weight loss challenge with a healthful hands-on cooking lunch event. Leading up the event two teams competed over the span of 6 weeks to loose as much weight as possible. The winning team lost a total of 69 lbs while the other team lost a still impressive 62 lbs. If you ask me they were all winners. They concluded the event with some light cardio in the form of awesome line dancing.
On the Menu:
Avocado and Spicy Shrimp Cocktail
HBO Chicken Taco Salad
Grilled Fruit and Mango Sorbet

Girls Just Want to Have Fun

Never say never is what I say. These days “never” can turn into “possible”. I do get calls for birthday parties for children. When I explain that we do not do pizza or cupcake parties, well, the next thing I usually hear in my ear is the click of the phone. Many parents are just positively certain about what their kids will and will not do in the kitchen.
Luckily, every once in a while I meet a parent whose child who is a serious foodie. Not adult dead serious, just kid sparkling-with-enthusiasm serious. This was exactly the case for a Special Birthday Party last Saturday afternoon.
