WHOLE WHEAT BISCOTTI
w/dried apricots, pecans and walnuts...no fat added
this is absolutely my new favorite! it tastes just like reg. pumpkin pie without the crust...1 piece only has 75 cals, but has 10g protein, 5g carb and 1g fat (without the peacans)..i've been eating it for breakfast everyday since i found the recipie. http://habitsofcontradiction.blogspot.com/2008/11/protein-pumpkin-pie.html many many thanks to habits of contradiction. this bakes up great every time...puffs up really pretty, then plops down like a real pumpkin pie. well, it IS a real pumpkin pie, but guilt free. love that !
waiting to reach 160-165 degrees
pork roast ready for 4 hours in the oven @ 300 degrees...results are best when done in a Le Crueset dutch oven...this happens to be mom's lucky orange oval...
i was so bummed...i lost light, the sun went down just as dinner was ready and i missed that yummy sunset glow...
BUT..this turned out great..i made it up as i was prepapring it..sauted french cut onion, sliced garlic and diced peppers in trace olive oil. then added the italian style stewed plum tomatoes...on low 'till heated through, then added the quartered kalamatas and capers...that was it..spicy hot facter was left to each his own...
as for the orange roughy...i kinda cheated and used a quick olive oil spray on the pan and a spritz of butter spray on the fish with some garlic salt...put on high heat as to sear a bit, then flip, cover the pan and turn OFF the heat...that was it...easy to serve...
GRILLED TIGER SHRIMP...w/rosemary skewer
i was amazed at the flavor with the shell left on during grilling. i can't quit discribe it, but it was a PLUS ! i think they definitely need to be split for the BBQ flavor to infuse the meat, and makes for easey peeling...
white corn, fresh from the CDM farmer's market this morning...this was a fab combo !
three little loaves ready to go....
