It's the classic story. Boy meets Girl. Boy and Girl fall in love. Boy proposes and Girl starts swapping cookies for apples, fries for carrots until that buffet on the honeymoon cruise starts calling her name.
There's something about walking down an aisle with 300 of your closest friends watching your every move that sends women into a diet frenzy (or so I hear, since there was no aisle and 15 people at my wedding). But what about after the big day? Everyone knows of the post-wedding weight gain curse, almost more deadly than the Freshman 15. Do vows and a ring exchange mean it's ok to throw all your bridal healthy habits aside? I don't think so! That's not to say there aren't challenges. In my pre-marital days, give me some cottage cheese, tomatoes and crackers and I'd call it a meal. But try serving that to your hubby...can't you already hear him asking where the meat is? The challenge is cooking man food for him and meals that don't break the scale for you. It's hard! So that's my plan for this blog. To provide dietitian-approved meal ideas and tips for staying healthy while keeping your husband asking for seconds. Just call me Miss-us Nutritious! (Hey, I can't resist a good rhyme.)
