Food: Dinner Tonight: Healthy Lasagna Alternative

With this managed carb and hardly sugar diet (notice how managed and hardly are inserted) because – trying to avoid carbs is pretty difficult when even the best of vegetables are made up of the worst of carbs and the most of sugars. So, sticking to a list of what to do takes lots of discipline and remembering. This lasagna recipe seems like a great plan for dinner tonight because – everyone in the family can enjoy it. Whether on a diet or not, the alternative is a great meal option to  consider: INGREDIENTS 4-6 small spaghetti squash halved lengthwise and seeds scooped out 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 head garlic 1 pound spicy Italian chicken sausage or 1 pound ground chicken or half ground chicken half sausage 4 ounces pancetta finely chopped 1/2 a sweet onion finely chopped 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon fresh thyme 1/2 teaspoon dried 1 teaspoon fresh sage 1/2 teaspoon dried 1 tablespoon fresh basil 2 teaspoons dried 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes 1 cup water 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons flour 1 1/4 cup milk I used 2% 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg 3/4 cup provolone cheese shredded 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese fried sage or fresh basil for garnish {more}

High Protein Recipes I can’t get enough Of

My regime is something like this. Get up at five every day, drink 16oz of bottled water. Work out at home or gym, and then proceed with my day. Breakfast consists of oatmeal or 2 boiled eggs and a cup of espresso.  Then snack at nine, yogurt or a fruit or a handful of almonds. Lunch is about the proteins, and dinner sometimes a protein drink or a freshly pureed juice with fruits  and veggies.  A sliver of dark chocolate if I crave it, and more water throughout the day. I don’t deviate much from the plan  no matter how tempting. Only if I am at a special event or on vacation do I make exceptions.  So I am glad to have found this amazing blog, where I go to for all of my recipes, outside, of course, from all of my mediterranean cooking.
