Yeah, my husband is doing a "Biggest Loser" type contest at work, so I've been trying to help out. Must be working - he lost 6 (or 6.2 if you ask him) pounds the first week...

Dang, that is good...tell him to keep up the hard work!!
So nice of you to be so supportive and cook him such nice meals.

I need to lose 6 lbs. Will you come cook for me?

Nothing better than grilling steak tips over coals at Cinnamon Bay. There's plenty of deadfall around the campsites, and the smokey virgin island flavor really comes through! Wish I was there right now.

Ha! I wish it was that easy... must be a guy thing. I've been eating the same meals and nada over here.

Just fallen branches, twigs, etc. Makes for some good natural coals for the grill. Just gotta watch out for the competing termites!

Not sure why I'm still on a Mexican kick, but dang it's tasty! Here are some pulled beef enchiladas and black bean soup with chipotle peppers.

I do a lot of cooking over wood at our cabin. I keep eyeing up a dying apple tree at the edge of our property....

I have beef enchiladas on the menue for Wednesday night, YUM!

BTW: Mark Bittman, the NYTimes food critic, did a great article on soups that inspired my black bean soup. I highly recommend reading it. Once you do, you can pretty much wing a huge variety of tasty soups.

How did you make it kinda crunchy on the outside? Looks delish...better than our wine/caper/parsley talapia. Bleuch. I hate this diet.
