Eating healthy is not about deprivation. Â My daughter Rowan just finished a week at Create-A-Cook summer camp. She spent six hours a day making rustic Italian cuisine. Â She brought home two full three course meals every night this week. Â There was so much wonderful food we just had to share with our neighbors.
I also decided not to count calories this week. Â I typically don’t count calories but the point is that I’m not hiding from the tally; just acknowledging that there are more important things in life. Â Perseverating on a somewhat inconclusive non-contextualized health metric or adhering to whatever diet dogma has my attention currently isn’t necessarily going improve my quality of life.
In honor of her partial Sicilian heritage (ok, it’s a rationale, I get it) we finished off the week with these awesome orange zest cannoli.  They were so divine with a glass of red wine.  I did not eat all three; or even two!  I did it for love of daughter and cannoli.  It’s not all about the numbers.
“for love of daughter and cannoli “ just loved your “piece”………and such a sacrifice!
