I admit it...

...I watched Julie and Julia, on the plane, on my way to Spain, where the food I love the most is not exactly low-fat....(Talk about the Mediterranean diet, a concept created, oh surprise!, by Americans).

Back in November I found out, the hard way, that I had pancreatitis because of a pseudo-cyst that was growing outside my pancreas. My doctor broke the news for me: I have to be on a no-alcohol, low-fat diet for the rest of my life. You could think, no biggie, right? Well, truth is I don't mind it that much, except for when I want to go out to dinner and I can only order a salad, no dressing, or when I go out to a bar and my only choice is Coke. Yum.

Lucky for me, I looove cooking, and I am now cooking more than I ever have before. I've gotten creative, I've modified my fatty recipes and I've received recipes from great friends, and I've started taking pictures of what I cook... and I've finally decided to start a blog. Oh, Julie.

I hope that I can maybe help someone who's in my situation get ideas for yummy low-fat food. Or to help someone who wants to lose some weight, or who wants to eat healthier. Or maybe someone who's just looking for new recipes...

I hope you'll enjoy.

Next, a low-fat recipe...
