Sneaky eating

I’m not a nutritionist and I’m certainly not a chef. But I’ve always been able to differentiate between healthy food and junk food (seriously, who among us is still in the dark about this?). The challenge is juggling our jobs, our kids, our parents and all our other responsibilities, and still getting a healthy meal on the table every night.
Well, Irvington chef-author Missy Chasy Lapine doesn’t specifically target her new book at the boomer population, but it’s actually a perfect fit.
As I report in a story in today’s Journal News, Lapine’s new Sneaky Chef cookbook aims to slip healthy ingredients into ordinarily fattening favorites, reducing the calorie and fat content while boosting flavor and nutrition.
If I could only get myself organized enough to do the shopping and some of the cooking on weekends…anybody know a good book on procrastination prevention?

Baby boomer Linda Lombroso was born in Queens and grew up in Port Washington. She began her journalism career at New York Magazine and Rolling Stone, but left to pursue a master's degree in elementary education. Shortly afterward, she returned to magazines as an editor at US magazine, but again left the field, this time for the birth of her first child. Linda and her family moved from Manhattan to New Rochelle in 1988. After spending 10 years as a stay-at-home mother, she joined The Journal News as a police reporter in 1997. She's been a Life & Style writer since 2000. This is the only year her three children are teenagers at the same time, which means she undergoes a daily critique of hair, makeup and wardrobe. Her parents still live in Port Washington Ń and they like everything she wears.
Linda, don’t put the pressure of having a healthy meal every nite. 7 days a week is a bit much with the load of responsibilities you have. We eat pretty good, 3 to 5 nites, depending on our work schedules. But I have to say, with both parents working, both have to cook. I cook sometimes if I am home first and my husband cooks if he is home 1st. Every Sunday, we try to make a huge meal, so, there is leftovers for Monday and we have an excuse to invite the grandkids.
