SANTA IN THE KALAHARI
Good Day all my friends,
Christmas is a rougher than usual time for us diabetics! Yesterday I tried to sneak into a shop which sells Christmas Cookies from Germany each year. Luckily for me they had already left for the holidays. Now I have delicious ice tea instead.....
I know, I promised you a "diabetic Christmas dinner" recipe for this post. But, really, where I am it is much too hot to even think of a sizzling turkey and sauce. I include a light recipe for an asparagus roll instead and trust, that by today all your family meals will be sorted.
There's something about asparagus that always shouts "special!" Treat yourself or your guests to our easy yet elegant toasty Mozzarella-Asparagus Roll-Ups and take a bow!
Serves: 10
Serving Size: 1 roll-up
Cooking Time: 10 min
What You'll Need:
- 1/2 pound fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
- 10 slices light-style wheat bread, crusts trimmed
- 10 teaspoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 5 reduced-fat mozzarella cheese sticks, cut in half, lengthwise
What To Do:
- Preheat broiler. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In medium skillet over high heat, heat 1 inch water to boiling. Add asparagus, cover, and cook 7 to 10 minutes, or until just tender; drain.
- With rolling pin, slightly flatten each bread slice. Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise on one side of bread. Evenly sprinkle with garlic powder. Top that side with 1 to 2 asparagus spears and half of a cheese stick. Roll up carefully, then arrange seam-side down on prepared baking sheet; coat rolls with cooking spray.
- Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat (or toast)3 to 5 minutes, or until bread is light brown.
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND CONTENTMENT
AND HEALTH for the new year 2015
Greetings and joy to the world,
Barbara
