I am so excited to come across Kalyns Kitchen blog that I am seriously thinking about going back on the "South Beach Diet". Several years ago I lost 25 pounds in three months (since then I have gained back 10 pounds) and have remained within my safe weight zone, but with several special occasions coming up, I thought maybe it is time to loose few pounds. One thing that kept me from going back to this diet was that, I used all of the recipe in the book, and needed to find newer, more exciting recipe to follow.. Kalyns Kitchen seems to have some great recipes, and I can not wait to try few of them... Starting with the Egg Muffins....

I will let you know in a few days how this turns out....

Cream Puffs at Beard Papa's

I love Cream Puffs especially ones at Beard Papa's. The Fat balls of choux are baked all day long and when you order yours, an employee fills it with sweetened cream (several flavors, but I love vanilla) and dusts it with powdered sugar . The outside is crunchy and never mushy, and the cream, especially if it is just made is just sooooo gooood, not too sweet, and really creamy.

I hope they will decide to put a store in Chicago area. I would go everyday...
