TGIF

I didn't get a chance to blog yesterday.  It was too beautiful outside so I spent extra time walking and riding.  My new eating regiment worked out pretty good.  I lost 1.5 lbs Thursday, and .5 yesterday.  Besdies eating my snacks every 2 hours i had a decent lunch and dinner yesterday.  Lunch was 2 egg ranchero burritos and dinner was a pasta dish that I am going to give you the recipe for.

Pasta with sauteed peppers and meatballs
this is one of my favorite new creations

2 servings of pasta.  Anything will work.  I like to use spagetti
1/2 a red pepper chopped
1/3 cup chopped celantro or a tsp dried celantro
2 Tbsp margarine.  I use I Can't believe Its Not Butter Light
3/4 cup heavy cream
12 small frozen italian meatballs

Bake the meatballs in the oven for about 16 min
Make the pasta and set to the side.
Sauce
   put about 1/2 of the margarine into a hot sauce pan add the peppers and sautee until soft
   Add in the heavy cream and the rest of the margarine
   Let it simmer for a few minutes stirring gently
   Add in the celantro
Presentation
   Put pasta on a plate
   Pour sauce over the pasta
   Put meatballs on top of sauce

Makes 2 servings at 490 calories per serving.

I hope you enjoy the new dish.  It is low calorie but it still tastes rich and nice.  I LOVE IT!
