Bonus Article: Cooking with the Stars
While waiting in line to check out at the grocery store, I usually ignore the outrageous news headlines of all those in Hollywood and beyond. But today, there was a special issue of People magazine, "Cook with the Stars!" Intrigued, I picked up a copy and was pleasantly surprised.
My Favorite Surprise
What instantly piqued my interest was a fabulous picture of Eva Longoria on the cover-with her holding a mixing bowl! I always pictured her as someone having meals prepared for her around the clock; maybe this came from her persona on the show "Desperate Housewives." Either way, I was excited to see that she shared a love for cooking as much as I did. After reading the featured article on Eva, I learned that she grew up in a family of cooks, and they cooked with real, natural foods. This definitely can be attributed to her great figure and healthy glow. I think that we often make the assumption that women like Eva Longoria are just "lucky" and are born with great figures. But if you dig a little deeper, you will often find that they are committed to a healthy diet and fitness regimen. Keep an eye out for her first cookbook due in April, "Eva's Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family & Friends." I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!
A Chef in Progress
Another favorite feature in the issue was Grammy-winner Michael Buble'. He didn't grow up cooking; he decided to learn once he moved out on his own. His father was a commercial fisherman, so he definitely knew how to recognize good, quality food when he tasted it. As he got the hang of cooking, he began falling in love with entertaining his friends-famous for his chicken wings or vegetable risotto. What I loved most about his article is when he said," You don't have to be fancy. Just use wonderful ingredients to get the best food." So true, Michael!
Best Recipe
My favorite recipe in this issue was Top Chef Antonia Lofaso's Stir-fried Noodles. I love that this dish is a healthy meal for four and it's under $10! Here is her recipe Stir-fried Noodles. Try it out and tell me what you think.
Although it is natural to feel that the stars in Hollywood are super lucky and don't have to watch what they eat, that is simply not true. They are just like you and I-and the ones that look great are eating right and working out. Besides looking stunning on set, I guess we can all learn how to cook with the stars!

I'm not sure that cloudy egg whites are okay to eat. Don't think that's very nutritious.
