Trick Your Man Tuesday's

In honor of all these catchy weekly post names, I am starting my own. It's called "Trick Your Man Tuesday's" This is one in which I decide to fool my husband into thinking he is NOT eating something healthy, but instead just another normal fatty food meal that he is used to.

Let me first start by explaining that my husband is a skinny mini-- and although I love the man to death, he has never had a concept of nutritious eating. His honest advice to me on how to lose weight was "just eat lettuce for every meal" WOW, hunny! You should write a book! Who woulda thought you would know the secret to weight loss?!?! (please forgive my sarcasm)

Now I also must inform you that I am not the only culprit in the house that is hiding eating habits from the other person! Have you ever seen the episode of King of Queens where Doug gets in trouble with Carrie because she discovers that he eats a "pre-dinner" cheeseburger every evening?!

Yeah. Well.

After my WONDERFUL post yesterday about my amazing tuna casserole that my husband helped himself to TWO servings of (I take that as a compliment of course!), he ran to our local store to pick up some batteries. As I am checking our bank account this morning, LOW AND BEHOLD there is a charge from our local pizza joint...for that day!

Don't worry people, I confronted. He confessed. It's all good. (We actually both had a good laugh)

So on to the "meat" of this post....

I decided to trick my hubby dear this evening with mashed potato-cauliflower creation.
SHHH! DON'T TELL HIM I'M USING CAULIFLOWER IN MASHED POTATOES!Basically I used three red potatoes and a whole head of cauliflower, mashed it, added some butter and milk and VOILA!
I also made a weight watchers side that had been sitting in the cupboard for a while. Hurry! Throw the weight watchers evidence away!Here's our final product:Mashed potatoes, noodles, and chicken.

The verdict:
He walked in when I was chopping the cauliflower. DARN IT! And he asked what the noodle stuff was....I can not lie....

He still liked it though :)

So there you go. I'll keep your secrets if you'll keep mine. As long as you don't tell him that last weeks taco soup was made with ground turkey!!

This may become a weekly tricky occurrence. May not. We will see!
