Granny's gone and done it again

I think my son is wanting to cash in on his inheritance. DIL sent me 24 large Zero bars. At least I've learned how to graze on them through the day instead of just chomping down on them like a chicken leg.

What is the Mediterranean diet?​

The Mediterranean diet is a way of eating based on the traditional cuisine of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. There's no single definition for the diet. But most often, it's high in:

• Vegetables.
• Fruits.
• Whole grains.
• Beans.
• Nuts and seeds.
• Olive oil.
• Seasoning with herbs and spices.

The main steps to follow the diet include:

• Each day, eat vegetables, fruits, whole grains and plant-based fats.
• Each week, have fish, poultry, beans, legumes and eggs.
• Enjoy moderate portions of dairy products.
• Limit how much red meat you eat.
• Limit how many foods with added sugar you eat.

Plant based, not meat based​

The foundation of the Mediterranean diet is plant foods. That means meals are built around vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, beans and whole grains.

Moderate amounts of dairy, poultry and eggs are part of the Mediterranean diet, as is seafood. In contrast, red meat is eaten only once in a while.

This is a life style. I'd be weak in missing my pork chops and burgers.

Frying chicken in olive oil may not work.

Peanut oil is from a legume... Poultry fries good in it.

We be grilling thick pork chops on the grill tomorrow night.

Pork is so much leaner than beef when you are using lean loin meat.
