Last night I had Patrick and Joann over for dinner. I had a pork loin thawed out that was calling my name. There were some blue cheese crumbles in my fridge that needed a place to go -- hmmm -- I ended up stuffing the pork loin with figs & blue cheese. I tied up that puppy and seasoned with S&P, Thyme, Rosemary & Dried Orange Zest. To try and stay healthy I decided to roast cauliflower and attempt to "mash" it like potatoes. The roasting was great..S&P EVOO. After it was good and roasted I put it in a pot with some garlic I sauteed. I added some No-Fat dry milk to get a little creamy like texture. I also added some chicken broth. When that was mixed to my liking I added some Cayenne & Thyme. It didn't mash well...It really looked more like rice =) It tasted good though. The side was plain-ole but very good for you steamed broccoli.
Dessert was next. I decided I deserved something yummy. I found some mascarpone cheese that was half the calories than the brand I use normal. I added a teaspoon of honey and whipped that together. As it came to room temperature i halved & cored peaches. I grilled them till they were nice and juicy. I also added honey to balsamic vinegar to make a yummy syrup. I put it all together for sheer bliss.....
The best part about dinner & dessert........It was 459 calories for the whole deal...mmmmm
