Still lots going on; had a lot of fun at my shower yesterday, and at the SU/Northeastern football game (the Orange won!). I've been cheating a lot on my diet in terms of eating out, etc., and have been feeling the tired effects of that. So today, I took the time to make a couple of meals for easy lunches & dinners this week. I found the recipes on Wegmans.com and then, of course, modified them so they would be ok for my diet. The first was just meat lasagne; nothing too special. I got that in the oven first and then made
Harvest Pasta, which I just finished eating (well, one serving anyway) and it was tasty. For interested parties, the things I did differently were: (1) brown rice pasta, (2) make my own alfredo sauce (purchased alfredo sauce often has wheat and/or sugar), (3) burn the first set of pine nuts prior to kind-of toasting the remaining ones (I don't really recommend this approach :), (4) using prosciutto instead of pancetta (are they the same? I could only find prosciutto), and (5) omitting any extra salt; the pork was plenty salty.
Now, off to clean up my mess and take care of a few things before church tonight. :)
