I’m on a no grain low carb menu for a few weeks – need to lose the muffin from the cupcake binge<\/a> I went on…<\/p>\n

I notice that I actually had to put some thought into changing what I reach for during meal times – it’s just reprograming as my snack and meal making is so automatic.
\nNo grains, ok -but low carb means cutting some veggies and fruits off the list. I didn’t want to eat big hunks of meat all the time so I made a list of protein foods and veggies that I can incorporate into my daily snacks and meals…I wanted to make the list for 3 reasons – show all the possibilities so I don’t feel deprived, reassure myself I will not starve and make sure I have the ingredients I need. Also, knowing what is not on the list will prevent me from inadvertantly bringing home the “do not eat” list foods.<\/p>\n

The lastest snack light \/ meal munchie…Tonnato<\/p>\n

Tonnato is a sauce of Italian origin made from canned tuna that is traditionally served with veal. I’m skipping the baby cow and enjoying it with cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes and celery sticks.<\/p>\n

Tonnato<\/strong><\/h2>\n

(based on a recipe from Food and Wine, August 2003)<\/p>\n

2 Tb extra virgin olive oil
\n2 Tb Italian flat leaf parsley
\n1 – 3 ounce can of tuna packed in olive oil
\n1\/4 cup mayonnaise
\n1 tsp capers, drained
\n1 Tb lemon juice (more or less to taste)
\n2 anchovy fillets
\n1 clove garlic
\n1\/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper<\/p>\n

Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.<\/p>\n

ENJOY!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
