sq19Pancetta just gives a rich full flavor to anything that you can use bacon for but with a bit less calories.  It is an Italian cured pork belly.  One serving of pancetta also contains no carbohydrates or sugars and no dietary fiber per serving.  I thought of this because I love creamed spinach and quite frankly I was tired of the same sauce on spaghetti squash night so decided to indulge. I’ve seen some variations on this recipe but decided to do what I love. The richness that the spinach brought and the flavors of the garlic and wine coming together really made a difference.

misotunafinalSeared tuna is my favorite fish, I love it, cold warm or straight out of the pan. Let me say right off, that when i say seared i mean seared, very pink middle and nice sear on both sides, nothing disappoints me more than overcooked tuna. Since I have had to give up most carbs this sadly included most of my trips to the Sushi bar. This recipe has made my upside down frown right side up once again. I accompanied this with some roasted cauliflower using the same Miso marinade I have used for the tuna. I honestly came up with this on the fly and love how it turned out and each component still stood on their own with each unique flavor. Placed on a bed of spinach which is optional,  but so nice for a light evening meal and the marinade from the searing of the tuna acted as a beautiful dressing. Continue reading →

I don’t know where to begin with this. When I thought of this meal in my head it was just a throw something together and pray it tastes good sort of meal. What I ended up creating was something I’d pay for in a restaurant here if someone besides me would make it. Alas we still only have the few restaurants and this is not on it. The pork loin is stuffed with spinach, onion and bacon cheddar cheese. Yes that’s right bacon cheddar. YUM.  The brussel sprouts dive into a mixture of white wine, onions, garlic , butter and of course bacon, little of the fat and then roasted to perfection.  There are a lot of components to this meal but I promise I’ll walk you through it.
