spaetzle

January 2nd, 2009

You might not think you can lose weight while on a eating plan which includes spaetzle but it is possible. It is crucial to not eat spaetzle or other high calorie potatoes, spatzle, noodles every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have simply been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also think it helps to have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to show you how to monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Spaetzle ("Sparrow" Dumplings)

3 eggs
2/3 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil while making the noodle dough. Beat eggs with milk. Mix flour with salt and nutmeg. Beat egg-milk into the flour to make a very wet dough. Spoon a large blob of dough onto a small plate. Hold the plate with one hand over the pot of simmering water. Scrape off pieces of the dough by pressing the tip of a table knife against the rim of the plate so that the dough drops into the water. Work as quickly as possible.

When the dumplings rise to the surface, skim them with a slotted spoon into a warm bowl of melted butter. Toss the spaetzle lightly with a fork in the butter before serving. Or, as an alternative, put the butter in a frying pan and add 4 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs. Cook until golden brown and crisp and toss with the hot spaetzle. Alternatively, pour the melted butter over the spaetzle and toss with poppy seeds.
