We had a fantastic time last night with Rick, Natalie and their college-bound daughter, Melanie. The help-yourself-buffet was a hit: Open-Faced Ham and Cheese Baked Sandwiches with German mustard and onions on sour dough French bread, Pancetta and Porcini Potato Gratin, Chevre Spread, Hot Artichoke Dip, Sesame Chicken with Honey Dip, cheese platter with Marcona almonds and Quince, Chips and Dips and a Praline Ganache covered Chocolate Cake.
Without knowing that Melanie was a recent Elvis fan, Michael had our compilation CD we bought at Graceland on shuffle with four other CDs. That too was a major hit! Thankfully, they took most of the leftovers home with them but I still have enough here to share with mom this morning along with some plums from the yard. It is beautifully warm, I am heading to the other rehab followed by a visit with the butchers and, after lunch, Trader Joe's.
Below is food for the week for those of us on Prednisone! Low carb - only protein and non-starchy vegetables. It is amazing all the recipes available with just those parameters. Here we go:
Breakfast:
Eggs in a low carb La Tortilla wrap
Peanut Butter of Rye Wasa crackers - 2
Sun-dried Tomato, Goat Cheese and Fresh Basil - here
Lunch:
Pizza - I use half of the cheese and a non-fat cheddar with only 1 egg - here
Skinny Buffalo Chicken Strips - here
Dinner:
Texas Chili - here
Popeye's Special - here
Houston Chicken with Fried Cabbage and Onions - here and here
Chicken Shawarma - I cut the oil to 2T. here
Enjoy Monday!
