Ohhh, you were thinking I was packing on this "baby weight" by eating Dairy Queen, Cinnamon Life and fudge every day? Well you'd be right. But once in a blue moon, I cook something not butter-laden. It may contain bacon, but there's nooo butter. And it was quite tasty. Enjoy.
Penne with Asparagus, Spinach & Bacon
Ingredients
8 ounces uncooked penne pasta
2 bacon slices
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
2 1/2 cups (1-inch) slices asparagus (about 1 pound)
1 1/2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
4 cups bagged baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup (2 ounces) preshredded Parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Cook pasta according to the package directions. Drain; keep warm.
Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Add onion to drippings in pan (mmmm drippings); sauté 1 minute. Add asparagus and broth to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender. Add pasta, spinach, 1/4 cup cheese, and pepper to pan; toss well. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and bacon.

I like all of these things. I wonder if asparagus has the same effect on breast milk that it does on urine...
Like I said.. JEGs and I will be over for dinner later this week.
..and don't forget those sassy bird plates.
