Cardiac Dr's need not apply.....

I love to cook, anyone who knows me I enjoy it alot. This summer when I found out I was diabetic I was devastated to think food was my enemy.

But I am now learning to work with it and live with moderation of my loves.

Tonight I decided to make a traditional Polish dish - Haluska.
I was on the phone talking to Opal when she mentioned I should show others what I was cooking....
This is the result - a tutorial of sorts on it.

So the first step I do is cook the bacon slowly.
Now most people don't add bacon to it,
but I love the added taste!



While the bacon is cooking I start water boiling and mix up the dough for the Spatzel, a form of homemade noodles common in German and Polish cooking.


I cook them, drizzling them into the boiling water and cooking until they come to the top and float.

Then I add the chopped cabbage to the water to slightly blanch it.



You can see the cabbage in the pot here.

I let the cabbage cook a bit in the pot,








Here you can see the bowl of the Spatzel after it is removed from the water and waits for a few moments before being added to the pan of bacon.









Once everything is ready- I add it all together with a 1/2 stick of butter.
(I told you no Cardiac Dr's allowed)


Add some salt and pepper... and yum. Wonderful good comfort food.


Enjoy!
