DREAMFIELDS PASTA

Who would have thought delicious, authentic pasta could be eaten by people with diabetes and low carb dieters…

For some of us, pasta can no longer be on the menu. Like people with diabetes who need to watch their blood sugar. Or those on a low carb diet to manage weight. Happily, many who couldn’t eat pasta have discovered a new way to enjoy delicious pasta whenever they want. As long as the pasta they choose is Dreamfields Pasta.

Dreamfields contains inulin, a 100 percent natural prebiotic fiber found in common foods such as artichokes, asparagus, garlic and raisins. By providing a food source for the healthy bacteria living in the gut, prebiotics such as inulin may: help promote healthy digestion, support a healthy immune system, and improve calcium absorption. Inulin is a soluble fiber (like that found in oats, peas and apples) which means it dissolves easily in water and may improve regularity. Soluble fiber can also help reduce cholesterol and glucose levels.


DREAMFIELDS pasta recipe has fewer digestible carbs, the same high fiber as 2 cups of broccoli, and it can help you manage your blood sugar. Dreamfields even has the great taste and al dente texture of authentic pasta. Too good to be true? Our family eats pasta a few times per week, DREAMFIELDS is great! We had the Linguine last night it was amazing!

Marinated Pork Tenderloin, Spinach & Salad

Our usual Saturday night dinner in Rhode Island is Seafood or Steaks, tonight I felt like something different. I was training my client Tomoko on Friday and she was telling me about her marinated pork tenderloin. It sounded great, so I decided to try it.

I used Soy Sauce, fresh Garlic, Sesame Oil, Sesame Seeds & Fresh Ginger. I marinated it a few hours, and BBQ'd it. It was spectacular! I served it with baked potato, Fresh Sauteed Spinach with Virgin Olive Oil & Garlic and a huge Romaine Salad with Tomatoes. All Veges were from the Farmer's Market. A great clean meal, and so easy!

A perfect quiet weekend by the beach & pool ending with a great "Powermeal"
