>>
you made a lifestyle change yourself. when did this happen for you when you lost the weight?
>>
it started about a year ago. i was overweight, needed energy and needed to make a change. there was nothing out there, so i sort of improvised and i made my kitchen into a lab. i've lost 15 pounds.
>>
i don't think he's 15.
>>
we want some i.d. the kids are flocking around you. how do you like being a celebrity in this world?
>>
i really appreciate it. i'm really glad the kids like icarly.
>>
what are we making?
>>
we are making a grilled vegetable and mopizarro. 100% whole wheat flat bred and
olive oil
very healthy. slide that into a 350 degree o venn and then we're going to start grilling. i love to do that outdoors during the summer.
>>
your parents let you grill outside?
>>
i do with my dad, but we have a
grill pan
. great for kids.
kathie lee
, if you'll add some garlic powder.
>>
i'm afraid not to.
>>
a little bit of pepper, a little salt and they go on to the
grill pan
. grill for about five minutes per side. i love that sound.
>>
who are you?
>>
do your grill marks.
>>
i don't know what's happening.
>>
and then we've got our
flat bread
really to do. i'm going to start with aruegg arugela arugelach.
>>
do kids like that?
>>
if they try it, they will.
>>
the great thing about that is we're having a lot of fun adding my favorite vegetables. tomatoes, squash. a little shredded mozzarella.
>>
you need the cheese.
>>
isn't mozzarella the least fattening?
>>
you can use it because that's right. especially if you're using a low fat or part skim, then you're really making a great choice. then we've got balsamic vinegar.
>>
i like that you're drizzling it. i just love you.
>>
thank you. you can take a taste of that.
>>
so, which is your favorite?
>>
i love this one. but i like to do those a zillion different ways, that's why they're so flexible.
