Penne with tomatoes, tuna and rocket
Yes, me and the intentions. I know, blog more often and stuff. It just does not always work the way you want.
With me, the kitchen has only stayed cold in the last few days, I had the whole weekend visit and then blogging is back then. But I'm not so careless with all intentions. I have also planned to cook healthier and more fully. Jaha, no joke!

After all those hearty stews, all the meat, the treats, etc., my body is looking for healthy, nutritious food. And of course, I do not want to deny him.
Do not worry, my blog is not going to be a diet blog right now, and it shines with a variety of leafy salad variations with fat-free dressing - quite the opposite. I cook very tasty dishes, which are just a little lighter and wholesome. Of course there are also the good meat stews, sweet treats and fried, but just a little less. 2012 is a bit more healthy for me.
I hope I do not scare you away with that, but let yourself be surprised what's coming up.
Let's go direct with my Today's dinner, a wholemeal pasta pasta dish (tastes so much meatier and better than regular durum wheat semolina pasta!) and a creamy tuna-tomato-rucola sauce with cream cheese.
This is extremely delicious, really satisfying without feeling too eaten afterwards. And all good things are still in there. And it works fast anyway. A clear after-cooking recommendation - for vegetarians without the tuna.
