HAPPY NEW YEAR peeps! (I know – it’s been 2015 for like 3 weeks now, get with the program Kate). Sorry – the usual excuses – holidays – cookies – too many cookies – at the gym to work off cookies – work busy season – more cookies – and wine….you know the drill.
ANYHOW, per usual, I’m in “Ew my pants are snug” holiday gluttony regret. Every year right before Thanksgiving I tell myself that I’m gonna take it easy with the edible and drinkable holiday cheer, and every year I seem to find myself in this exact same spot, wishing that I had listened to my mid-November, wiser and slimmer self. But alas – here we are.
Luckily in this stage of life, I concocted this recipe for Lightened-Up Chicken Carbonara. I like chicken – and I like carbonara (i.e “a pasta sauce made with bacon or ham, egg, and cream” – thanks Webster). But Webster didn’t mention that you can still make carbonara delicious by holding the heavy stuff and swapping it out with some lighter stuff. And trust me folks – we’ve had this twice in one week, and it is every bit as tasty and lick-the-bowl worthy.
Hope everyone’s have a fab new year so far!

This sounds so good, I love finding a light alternative to great traditional dishes like this. Can we not talk about the tight jeans please? Leggings and chunky sweaters are working just fine for now.

Glad I’m not alone in the ‘post holiday tight jean’ epidemic Katie!
