Tablespoon Italian Lemon Cake

I first tried this cake a little while ago at a friend’s house.  To tell the truth it was delicious but a little on the sweet side for me.  But that didn’t stop me from asking for the recipe.  And as it turned out this was another one of those you-gotta-love “Italian Desserts”. This Tablespoon Lemon Cake was along the same lines as my Easy Yogurt Cake that was given to me in yogurt cup measurements!  But this cake is actually called  Torta dei 12 Cucchiai / 12 Tablespoon Cake. I actually remade this cake a few times until I got it  right, or as the Italian declared now this is a Lemon Cake!   And that was to bring a couple of ingredients down to 10 tablespoons instead of 12, and to add a little more of this and a little less of that. And that is why I call it the “Tablespoon Cake”.

I have always been a lover of Lemons, from anything and everything Lemon flavoured to even the Lemon cologne.  But not until I came to Italy did I ever see or have Lemon Trees.  Yes it took us a good 20 years to get our tree to grow a Lemon,  when everyone else was drowning in them.

Skinny Bang Bang Zucchini Noodles Meal Prep

Skinny Bang Bang Zucchini Noodles Meal Prep These skinny bang bang zucchini noodles are an easy way to start your week. You can make multiple servings ahead of time, enough for a few meals during the week. We recently started to meal prep on weekends and so far I’m enjoying it. We only do it for lunch, but it helps us to eat healthier during the week and I have less stress of having to cook every meal. Normally, we keep things pretty simple for lunch anyway, but this is a lunch I look forward to given my love for bang bang sauce. The skinny part of this meal comes from two things. First, the pasta has been replaced zoodles. For me, this helps avoid major food coma sleepiness after lunch. Second, the sauce has also been lightened up, replacing half of the light mayonnaise with fat free Greek yogurt and reducing the amount of Thai sweet chili sauce. INGREDIENTS: 4 medium zucchini, spiralized 1 tbsp olive oil SAUCE 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp fat free plain Greek yogurt 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp light mayonn
