Is there a healthy alternative to pasta?

-
Pasta is known to be full of carbs and is known as the 'unhealthy foods' along with rice, desserts and all the likes. But what if you like pasta? what if you don't want to be unhealthy or want to eat that yummy pasta dish without the guilt?

There are many alternatives to pasta. Now a days there are loads of different types of pastas made out of all sorts of natural ingredients to take away the guilt from your favorite pasta dish. For instance here are two of my favorite pastas that I recently found. One is a wheat pasta and the other is a natural pasta. Pasta made out of Sprouted grains. How they make this I have no idea what so ever. But looking at the ingredients all they used is all natural ingredients to make it.





Unbelievably it tastes great. Just like pasta should. I made it a few times in my favorite pasta dishes and it did not take away from the flavor at all. It just made it healthier. I really loved especially the wheat pasta by 'Ronzoni' and my husband fell in love with the sprouted pasta by 'Ezekiel'. (While on this note: have you ever heard of this name brand Ezekiel; they are amazing: They make bread, wraps, cereal, pasta and almost anything else but they use only ingredients found in the bible to make everything. The bread has no flour, the cereal is made with all types of sprouted grains, barley and all the likes and it is 100% natural… talk about healthy eating. If you are striving to eat healthier this brand is definitely the way to go)




Now that you found this healthier pasta; that does not mean to go on a splurge and now, that its guilt free dive in head first to all your favorite italian foods ; - ) As always do things in moderation…
Too much of anything is not good for you.

From my kitchen to yours
God Bless

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food.
