Everyday Italian

Whenever I see a recipe I want to try, more often than not it's italian! There's something about it-maybe the common use of cheese! Yes italian can add a hefty amount of calories to your day but I think if you're careful about it you can get the same great taste minus any guilt for indulging in a favorite~

INDIVIDUAL SPINACH & TURKEY LASAGNA

w/ TURKEY MEATBALLS

Turkey Meatballs have become one of my favorite things to make. The carrots and red pepper in them keeps them so moist and they have great flavor. The great think about these lasagnas is that each only has 2 lasagna noodles so it's not too high on carbs.

Everyday should be Italian Day!

This is me! Well for right now at least. Life is made up of work, church and play, just like most everyone else. Life is good! I find a little added enjoyment by experimenting in the kitchen. I'm constantly trying new recipes and more importantly trying to take a healthy spin. Most of my postings will be of my kitchen endeavors; the delicious, the overcooked, and the hopefully healthy!

Here's my most recent attempt~
GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN with PINEAPPLE JICAMA SLAW

The pork turned out really great although I had to look up internal temperatures since I was worried about it being pink. Tenderloin's ok from 145-160*. Jicama was a fun, new find. It's a sweet vegetable with a slight apple/pear taste. It definitely needs to be paired with lime when raw. Overall a tasty new addition to the cookbook!
