Healthy Noodles.....

Who doesn't love a plate of spaghetti or a rich, creamy dish of fettuccine alfredo? Well I know that I do but when you are watching your carbohydrate intake, those dishes are not an option.  I was recently introduced to the "game changer"!!!! This game changer goes by the name of SHIRATAKI NOODLES!! These noodles are amazing and they are very low in carbs and they are made with TOFU!!!  I know that when we hear TOFU, we kinda freeze up and we turn our nose up and want to move on, however, give it a chance because you will not be sorry. These noodles taste exactly like the carb filled noodles, trust me when I say you will welcome the change. Another plus is that they are very simple to prepare. They take ONE MINUTE to cook- in the microwave! Please give them a try, and let me know what you think.

 I typically get these noodle from Whole Foods, but I have noticed as of late that HEB has them in stock. The price ranges from $2.00- $2.75 per pack. Each pack yields two servings.

Luscious Lamb

EVERYONE IS SO SUPER BUSY THAT IT GETS REALLY HARD TO TRY TO PREPARE A GOOD, HEALTHY MEAL DURING THE WEEK. WELL, I WANTED TO SHARE A QUICK REMEDY TO THAT PROBLEM. LAMB!!!! LAMB HAS BEEN MY GO TO PROTEIN LATELY BECAUSE IT IS SO EASY TO PREPARE AND EVEN QUICKER TO COOK. SOME PEOPLE HAVE NEVER EVEN TRIED LAMB AND MAY BE A LITTLE SKEPTICAL. I WILL ADMIT THAT I WAS THE SAME WAY. HOWEVER, I BROADENED MY HORIZONS AND TOOK A CHANCE AT LAMB. I PURCHASE MY LAMB AT WHOLE FOODS BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE CUT OF LAMB THAT I LIKE. THE BLADE SHOULDER CHOP IS MY FAVORITE CUT FROM THE LAMB.

SET YOUR OVEN TO BROIL, WHILE IT IS HEATING, SEASON BOTH SIDES OF YOUR LAMB CHOPS. I TYPICALLY USE SALT, PEPPER, GARLIC POWDER AND DRIED ROSEMARY. BROIL FOR 5-7 MINUTES ON EACH SIDE AND THAT IS IT!!! SERVE WITH YOUR FAVORITE SIDE DISH!
