Food for Him and Her!!

There is one thing in life that I find incredibly frustrating and that is my complete inability to leave any food on a plate, whether I am presented with a 20oz steak or a mountain of pasta, I can guarantee that I will squeeze every last morsel into my mouth and my ever expanding tummy!!

What I tend to do is serve my boyfriend (who like all men has the annoyingly faster food burning gene) the same amount as me. Even if I do decide to put less on my plate, you can be sure to find me in the kitchen with my spoon in the pan clearing up the left overs! Is it just love for food? or Is it greed? probably the latter! Either way I have to find a way to change the way I eat so tonight I am going to cook a meal for him and a meal for me and see if i can resist begging him to share!!

Keep it cheap by buying the same ingredients!
