Profile of a Healthy Eater: Kelly
Kelly, another souffle-aspiring food lover, shares her love for good ol’ meat and potatoes and pretty food (see pic below!). She writes her own food blogs at The Gouda Life and Nosh Food.
Kelly’s clearly not scared of kitchen utensils.
- What’s your foodie style? I am a strong believer in local, seasonal foods. I try my best to buy everything in season when I can. This is beneficial to my cooking style since it forces me to change up my routine every so often.
- Something people consider “healthy” that you think is anything but? I think people assume ‘fat free’ = healthy… and I whole-heartedly disagree. Especially when the ingredient list reads like a newspaper article.
- Favorite food/health blog? I’m a pretty big fan of Heidi Swanson at http://101cookbooks.com.
- Your go-to five-minute meal? Definitely a salad of arugula, toasted pecans, goat cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette.
Beautiful food by Kelly! - Perfect last meal? I would have to go with mashed potatoes, sautéed swiss chard, and a medium rare steak.
- Favorite method of cooking and why? I love roasting. I eat a lot of vegetables and I adore the nutty, sweet flavours it brings out in what some people would call the less desirable vegetables like beets, Brussels sprouts or parsnips.
- Craziest diet you’ve ever tried? Can’t say I’ve ever been on any crazy diets. I come from a family that has pretty good self image so it’s never beensomething I worry too much about.
- Restaurant you’d go to every day if you could? Murray Street, Ottawa ON, Canada.
- Food/dish you’ve always wanted to learn how to cook, but haven’t? I have always wanted to try my hand at soufflés but it’s just never happened!
- Dream dining companion? Anthony Bourdain (it doesn’t help that he’s handsome, right?) or Julia Child.
