First Lady Hosts 'Iron Chef America'


Mrs-O_articleUSETHIS.jpg

Michelle Obama filmed an episode of "Iron Chef America" at the White House, which will air in January. Using the influence of the cooking show and the network on which it airs, Food Network, this special appearance by the First Lady is another step in her crusade to promote healthy living and eating.

"Iron Chef" pits chefs against one another in a timed match to cook several meals built around one secret ingredient, announced right before the timer begins. For this episode, all competing chefs will use ingredients grown in the Obama's vegetable garden.

The episode will also feature the White House's executive chef, Cristeta Comerford, competing against celebrity chefs Bobby Flay, Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse.
 
The First Lady recently launched the Healthy Kids Initiative which encourages healthier eating  for children, straying from a steady diet of fast food.

Why don't you look in the mirror and be perfectly honest with yourself! Better still buy yourself some prescription eyeglasses! and shut the heck up! You aren't ALL THAT and a BAG of CHIPS! She has the President of the United States of America! Enough said!

 

I don't like her outfit..she is in serious need of a new stylist (a whole new glam squad)..any designer would be happy to create elegant clothes for her to wear..she should take a cue from her friend Oprah..despite Oprah gaining the weight back her stylist is picking out clothes that are impeccable made that fit her...


 

I am not a fan of leopard print and the belt does not help the outfit

 

The First Lady looks wonderful

 

Mrs. O looks good but that particular outfit makes her look a little plump. I think it's time to make a change on the cardigan sweaters with the belts. This picture with the wide belt does not look good on Michelle. I like the idea that she does not have to always wear the most expensive designers clothing.

 

by no means does she look fat...i love her sense of style

 

sstop hating she still looks fam and you would love to have her shape.

 

She looks fat with that big wide belt. LOL!
