One of my favorite shows is back!

Its Sunday  September 26th which means Dexter is back on!


I love this show and so excited for it to be back. Last season ended crazy and I have no idea what is going to happen now. If you haven't seen it, you need to. Its about a cereal killer who kills other cereal killers. Amazing show! It comes on Sunday on Showtime at 9pm (my time).

Some of my friends are going to come over and I'm cooking dinner. On tonight's menu is from Bethany Frankel's "Naturally Thin Cookbook"


Lowfat Pasta Carbonara
This is the recipe I mention in Chapter 5 of “Naturally Thin” where I accidentally used vanilla soy milk instead of plain soy milk. NOT good! Consider yourself warned. Use plain soy milk and you’ll love this recipe.
Makes 4 servings
  • 1 pound whole wheat spaghetti
  • 3/4 cup soy milk
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 2 tablespoons butter (regular or vegan/soy)
  • 8 slices organic turkey bacon, cooked until crispy
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  1. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the soy milk, eggs and yolks, Parmesan cheese, half the garlic salt, and half the pepper.
  3. When the pasta is done, drain it and quickly put it directly into the bowl with the egg mixture.  Toss to coat.  The hot pasta will cook the eggs.
  4. When the pasta is coated with the egg mixture, mix in the butter, bacon, red pepper flakes, and the remaining garlic salt and pepper.  Serve immediately.

I'm so excited to have friends over with good food and a great show to watch! I'll let you guys know how it turns out because its my first time cooking this. So wish me luck! I hope ya'll have a great Sunday!
