There's a great sense of accomplishment when you pull random things from a fridge that you just know work together and then actually throw them together and then ultimately they taste great together.
I bought a box of Dreamfield's low carb spaghetti a few days ago, and so I've centered dinner around that for the past three days. Dreamfield's spaghetti is normal spaghetti that they swear does not affect your blood sugar as normal pasta would. This is through some chemical mumbo-jumbo that I only partially believe. But hey... it's better than the alternative... normal spaghetti without any promise of spectacular chemical carb blockage.
Friday I made a chicken breast sauteed with eggplant, artichoke hearts, shallots, garlic, basil and fresh tomatoes.
Saturday I made a healthy spaghetti carbonara. Chopped shallots and ham, parmesan cheese, a little cheddar, soy milk... thickened with a roux made of canola oil and whole wheat flour. I threw in the rest of the eggplant and some more fresh tomatoes, because vegetables are our friend.
Today it was a can of fat free turkey chili over the spaghetti, topped with cheddar cheese, chopped onions and diced tomatoes. It was beautiful.
Tomorrow I'll probably go out for a sandwich... I'm tired.
