"Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper."
~ Adele Davis (American Nutritionist and Writer, 1904-1974)
In the on-going search for the easy way to a healthier being (and therefore weight loss), platitudes abound. This one, recently stumbled upon, seems to have taken permanent residence, continually swirling in the brain pan of my mind. Consume more calories earlier in the day (when you at least have more opportunity for burning them off) and fewer calories later in the day (when you are most likely to become inactive). Hmm...there's a concept!
With pauper/peasant in mind, I've come across two more soup recipes (oh do I LOVE January and its really cold weather!!!):
From Rachael Ray and the Cooking Channel: Minestra and Beef and Pork Polpette. YUM! Spoiler alert: if made exactly to recipe (which is how I did it), the meatballs are extremely delicious and a tad on the spicy side (perfect for our family but if you don't love spicy as much as we do then just reduce/eliminate the red pepper flakes).
From Allrecipes.com: Winter Leek and Potato Soup Definitely check out at least some of the reviews for this soup (having bacon for garnish and making cheese optional).
Get that soup kettle going!

I'm not sure I'd trust a nutritionist who only lived to 70. :)
