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.

My cravings might have gotten the better of me though as I didn’t have quite all the ingredients I needed so I made due.  Forgive me Griffin for adding what I had but I have to tell you the sauce was awesome even without the chives, thank you!. I think I already said thank you?, when you try them you will understand! Continue reading →

swfinal2Wings, wings, and wings. I love them! They are my absolute fave when done right. One thing I do know is I don’t like them boneless, breaded or messed with too much. I love bright flavors and this one takes the ticket.  I saw a recipe on another blog that was very similar to this and thought I’d share mine, I been obsessed with sriracha for a bit , it’s my new hot sauce.  I put it in egg salad the other day and loved it!! Yes, classic egg salad , mayo, mustard and sriracha, a lil salt and pepper equals yum!! These wings are sticky and sweet with the just the right amount of heat.

As I had explained earlier in the year, carbs no longer like me and they are not my friend. I have also moved towards the Paleo lifestyle and have very much loved experimenting and trying all these new things. I plan on focusing on just that this year. Tasty yummy healthier foods without losing any of the favor.  Still using the spiralizer from Paderno,  I actually have been able to create new recipes and can not wait to share those with you. I am going to start with this low carb Carbonara on zuchinni noodles. My family has chosen this as their favorite so far and let’s face it; anything with bacon is a winner in this house.

Oh my, how I love Alfredo but apparently noodles – well carbs in general – no longer like me 🙂 . I have been trying all kinds of things lately. Rice noodles, brown rice noodles, tofu noodles and even mung bean noodles… yes, even those.  Well, I had heard about this spiralizer from Paderno. I actually saw it used by one of my favorite soap stars(What? I am female and I watch a soap. Moving on…) It was amazing. I love veggies!! The idea of making my favorite veggies into spirals intrigued me.  So off I went to purchase my new kitchen item! I must say I have enjoyed it very much. These zucchini noodles are every bit as delicious as the real thing.  My daughter now asks for these instead of her favorite dish, which is meatball and spaghetti. Now let me say I have used these in so many ways already before posting this dish, I have used regular pasta sauce, carbonara sauce which I loved, pesto zucchini and an olive oil and garlic sauce which was yummy as well. Hands down though, this version is a winner for everyone.
