The Inauguration.

Ok, not food related but equally amazing.   I attended the inauguration on the 20th and I must say this is an event I will never forget. I stood in the midst of over a million people and must say I did not expect the peacefulness we experienced.  I was so glad I was able to share this with my girls. This was a great day...

THE Resolution!

The number 1 new years resolution is a vow to lose weight.  One major component of this is eating habits.  Eating healthy is key to losing weight along with exercise. Eating healthier is not all about low fat and no taste, it is about the right choices and correct portions.  I think this is very important to a healthier and happier you.  Now if you know me you look at me and say what does she know about losing weight, she is thin.  Well I am here to tell you it is not about size it is about your health.  Yes, one should be concerned about weight but more about being healthier and that can be at a size 4 or 12. It is all about health.  So, vow not only to lose weight if that is what you want to do but eat healthier. 

Happy New Year!

2008 is officially gone and new and exciting things for 2009 are ahead. Although 2008 was not a total disaster, I am looking forward to the new things to come that this new year will bring. I am looking forward to getting really creative with my business in light of the way the economy is. Although everyone has to eat people are tightening their belts and a personal chef, may seem like a nice to have expense. I would like to bring home cooked meals to homes that would normally eat out and spend unnecessary money on unhealthy fast food. I can cook or I can teach to cook but either way, the families are getting a healthy home cooked meal. Nevertheless, I am going to charge into 2009 with good thoughts and the same faith that started me on this cooking journey. Also, look for ahlalou.com 2.0 version sometime this quarter.
