But I never hear any complaints from my dinner guests! I have a lot of irons in the fire. Besides my 40 HPW job, I also run a website business. I host sites for customers, but I also maintain four heavy-duty sites of my own that require lots of creative content. Ergo, I have to stick with a few tried-and-true ingredients to cook with. I don't have time to experiment.

In fact, the fats in olive oil are good for you. That's why you should reach for the olive oil and leave the shortening alone whenever possible. Olive oil adds a unique, delicious flavor to whatever it is you're cooking. I prefer extra virgin, which is the darkest and richest form. You can get lighter, less flavorful versions as well. http://ronsrecipes.com/2007/08/olive_oil_your_friend.html http://ronsrecipes.com/2007/08/olive_oil_your_friend.html The Basics Fri, 31 Aug 2007 09:51:30 -0600 Okay, let's get a few things straight. Saturated fat is THE ENEMY. Saturated fat is the nasty stuff that ends up clogging your arteries. True, some of us are genetically disposed towards clogged or clear arteries, but regardless, saturated fat is the bad guy, the evil intruder that Ron's Recipes seeks to avoid. Not all of my recipes are low in calories. I'm a firm believer in different calories acting differently within your digestive system depending on where they come from. I believe calories from saturated fat go straight to excess weight. I believe calories from olive oil get burned up. http://ronsrecipes.com/2007/08/the_bare_basics.html http://ronsrecipes.com/2007/08/the_bare_basics.html The Basics Wed, 29 Aug 2007 14:48:47 -0600 A big hearty low-fat welcome to all of you! Ron's Recipes is the site where you can find absolutely delicious low-fat recipes guaranteed to be kinder to your artery walls than fried food! I decided about ten years ago at the age of 38 that I wasn't getting any younger and I'd better start eating healthy. By "healthy," I mean no more McDonald's fries. No more greasy bacon and egg breakfasts. No more fried chicken. Now here's the best part: You can still engage in a little guilty pleasure every now and then! For instance, about every couple of weeks or so, I indulge in two eggs over easy with bacon and hash browns at the local greasy spoon. I just make sure to eat healthy otherwise. http://ronsrecipes.com/2007/08/welcome_to_rons_recipes.html http://ronsrecipes.com/2007/08/welcome_to_rons_recipes.html About Us Wed, 29 Aug 2007 14:27:42 -0600
