Yummy Recipe

I love to cook, and due to my new diet, i am limiting my carb intake. So here is what i had for dinner last night. Boyfriend wanted chicken spaghetti, i didn't want to eat the pasta, so i ate this!

1 chicken breast
1/2 cup FF ricotta
1 egg yolk or 1/8 C egg beaters
Oregano to taste
1 minced garlic clove
salt/pepper to taste
spaghetti sauce

Pound out chicken breast to flatten. flatten as thin as possible.
stir ricotta, egg yolk, oregano, minced garlic and salt and peper together to a smooth well mixed consistancy. Spray pan with cooking spray, lay chicken breaste on pan, pile ricotta mixture into the middle of the breast. pull two sides of chicken breast together and secure with a toothpick.
season the top of the breast with salt and pepper.

bake for 1 hour at 400 degrees.

cover with spaghetti sauce.

variations: i would love to make this with spinach, and or add parmesean to the ricotta mixture. i jsut didn't have any of that on hand. :)

enjoy!

Birthday Blog

It was my birthday on the 5th. It was pretty un-eventful, and it was exactly what i wanted. Boyfriend gave me the first jewelry, diamonds even, of our relationship. He gave me a journey diamond penant. it is beautiful. other than a crappy ring from a former boyfriend, i have never gotten "real" jewelry from anyone, at least nothing of significance. :) Here is what it looks like!
