well im skinny fat so to lose the fat, but i wanna gain strength then size, ross being a perfect example of a good size.
but lifting heavy ie starting strength with no cardio to build muscle thus losing weight doesnt sound appealing anymore..

I was just talking to my cousin Steve, he's lost 80 pounds in the past 6 months!  GOOOO Steve :) anyway he was grilling jicama. I've never tried it but he tells me it's delicious. Simply brush with olive oil, spice it up to your taste and grill away. I'll try it this next week and report back.  ::)

Hmmm, the last time I used the outdoor grill I burn off my eyebrows....isnt there any other way to 'grill' things? A safer way perhaps....

Oh, you go, girl! That sounds like a great meal! I love to get my kids involved in our cooking, too. My 14 year old loves to bake and he's good at it. I hope to train him well so he will take it over one day! : )

you go too ...lol.....nice to meet you owensmath~
yes, that is what it is all about! family sharing the love, laughter and life all together in one common bond! bless you! those smiling moments of family time shared, are kept in the heart forever and makes living worth it all~
I spent most of my younger days in chef work, mostly catering weddings and such...never was much of a baker even though my mother was, i didn't care for it, but I did care for the end results which were some pretty wonderful cake, cookies and hot fruit pies back in the day.....all I see is yummy fat stuff when i think of baking...... curious to know what you bake in your new eating without sugar?

Well....let me tell ya!.... keylime cheesecake, brownies, spinach muffins, homemade chocolates...... most of the recipes I found on here! Umpa is great to change any recipe to a FTS (Fat to Skinny) friendly recipe. But, I think we are making Doug and Umpa proud because we have all been making our own versions and sharing them on here. They have taught us how to ride with training wheels and some of us are taking off those training wheels, but we still like to know they are running right beside us!
Do you have a facebook page? I have posted a lot of pictures on there of some of the foods I've been making. It's in a folder called, "out with the old, in with the new." If you look for me with my email, owensmath@yahoo.com, you should be able to find me. OR, if you find Doug, you can find me on his friends page. (Donna Gates Owens)
The really cool thing is that I never was good at, or fond of, cooking or baking before. BUT, now I love it!

I am very proud of all of you for the recipes you have been coming up with! It actually helps me come up with new recipes for the new books when you tell me what you are missing! This is a lifestyle change, you should never go without anything you want to eat.

how long in the pan? how do you know its cooked properly? Im going to make some jicama fries tonight
Title: Re: FAT TO SKINNY cooks JICAMA
Post by: Doug Varrieur on October 08, 2010, 07:08:52 PM
Hi Nic, sorry for the late response....you are probably cooking right now! I pan fry the fries in olive oils with a bit of bacon grease thrown in to help them brown. I've never timed them because that will depend on how thick you cut them. I just flip them and take them out when browned. They always retain a bit of a crunch, that's normal.

If you can use Jicama for chips, I bet they make great julienne fries too.
