My very own blog!
Most of my life, the internet was science fiction. The ability to electronically interact with the world would have certainly changed my childhood. I grew up on a farm and in a North Dakota village. We were a universe unto ourselves. I’m not sure I’d want to change that.
Where to start? Oh, I know! People ask me about our meals. What is my favorite?
Okay, here it is. Italian Gnocchi with pesto sauce. Gnocchi is like a small dumpling. The sauce is exquisite!
Warm this meal in the microwave approximately two minutes. Fork the gnocchi and dip it in the sauce. Served with fresh asparagus, and a side dish of almonds and dried pineapple. Each taste complements the others. Too wonderful for words!
I have ordered gnocchi in many fine Italian restaurants. I never think it’s as good as ours. Want to know why? Because we experimented in our kitchen until we discovered how to pour a carefully allocated portion of sauce over the gnocchi prior to baking. No one else does this. Viva la difference!
Our meal plan is low fat, low cholesterol, sodium restricted, zero trans-fats, no food dyes, no artificial sweeteners, no high fructose corn syrup. It is portion and calorie controlled.
