Goodbye Calories
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I have had such a busy holiday season, cooking, baking, blogging and eating!.
I did a lot of cooking and entertaining and didn't have time to post everything, so here are a few things I made that didn't make it to Stacey Snacks.
I just want to warn you: there is nothing green on this page (though I swear, I made a lot of vegetables!).
You can click on the links for the recipes if you like.
I made 2 Torta Rusticas, filled w/ ricotta cheese, prosciutto, spinach and roasted peppers. Delicious.

I baked many datenut breads to give away, but this time instead of using vegetable oil, I used olive oil, and I liked it even better, if that's possible.

I made a sausage and spinach lasagne from Scott Conant's Food & Wine recipe this month, and we loved it.

Nothing here is low calorie, so as of Monday, we can watch our calories together.
I am glad the holidays are over. I can barely fit into my jeans!

Cheers,

p.s
I was so busy as well, we still have guests come and go until yesterday, and I am exhausted. Anyway, I have to start thinking about a low calorie food myself. Too much of good and unbelievably high calorie food during the holiday that I ate.
May your New Year be blessed and filled with skinny jeans. :D
