The tyranny of the daily healthy dinner

I'm procrastinating starting tonight's dinner by starting this blog instead.  I grew up the daughter of Korean immigrants who owned a Chinese restaurant with Peruvian cooks and a gay piano bar in Indiana.  It was a colorful upbringing to say the least. Currently, i live on the Eastside of LA and make my living as an actress.  It's a comfortable, if somewhat unpredictable living.  However, it affords me lots of time to pursue my various interests, the main one being food.

My husband, and childhood sweetheart, has gained a few pounds since moving to LA.  It's the byproduct of a long daily commute (formerly shorter and done on a bike) and my exuberant culinary forays.  I've been trying to cook healthy(er)  on weeknights, while saving the whiz bang lard and bacon dishes for weekends and special occasions.  It bums me out sometimes.

Tonight is monday, and mondays in 2013 have been healthy soups.  I am going to try this cauliflower one with a side of brussell sprout and kale salad.  Super healthy, no?
