With all the new years resolutions being followed (or not lol) i thought a nice warm and healthy dish would be a good one to come back with. I apologize for my absence guys, but thanks to all those who have continued to visit! Good news too! Our blog has been published and is now enriching the minds (or bottom of backpacks) all over campus! AND we only bee 200 more hits to hit 3000!!!! AMAZING! Enjoy this celebratory dish guys!
Ive tried this dish two different ways, and I like the second way much better. This recipe calls for 1/2 cup white wine so if you have any leftover bottles just add this in. Drunken for the wine, and Skinny for the health factor!
Drunken and Skinny Ratatoulli
1 zucchini, cut into chunks
1 eggplant, cut into chunks
5 asparagus, cut roughly
1 tomato, cut into chunks
2 cloves garlic
1 can tomato paste
1/2 cup white wine
oregano, salt and pepper to taste
In a large pan, add a small amount of oil and garlic. Heat until golden brown, then add vegetables (everything but the tomatos). Cook the veggies until soft, then add tomatoes, tomato paste and wine, as well as spices at this time. Let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens up, and the alcohol burns off. Serve hot, as a side or a meal. This can also be served over pasta for a more filling meal, otherwise this dish is about 300 calories for the whole pot!
I enjoy food, and do believe diets (when done PROPERLY) can be helpful. But I also believe that you CAN eat yourself skinny, while staying HEALTHY. By choosing healthy foods and dinners with the freshest vegetables and meats, you are giving your body the nutrients it needs to make it through the day, and keep you hunger-free!
