Birthday Dinner

I just came back from a week in North Carolina visiting family. It was my
brother-in-law's birthday and we had a birthday dinner for him. He's been on
Atkins a couple months. My sister prepared the dinner and this was what we
had:

1) Salad - romaine lettuce, sliced mushrooms, a few sliced cherry tomatoes,
some sliced red onion, one diced avocado, crumbled bleu cheese - served with
bleu cheese dressing
2) freshly steamed spinach served with butter
3) fresh asparagus sauteed in olive oil, with seasonings and chopped walnuts
4) strip steaks and fresh salmon cooked on the grill (the birthday boy
actually cooked these)

My contribution was a large LC cheesecake with an almond flour crust, and
topped with a can of Lucky Leaf splenda-sweetened SF cherry pie filling. It
was yummy.

That meal was a feast! A lovely birthday dinner. :-)

That sounds great! And wasn't it nice to go to a celebration
where you knew you could eat the food?!

I have never heard of Lucky Leaf splenda-sweetened SF cherry pie filling.
Do you buy it at the grocery store?

Look for Lucky Leaf Light Pie Filling. I've bought this brand at Wal-Mart.
They also have apple pie filling sweetened with Splenda

Cherry has approx 7 effective grams carb per 1/3 cup
Apple has approx 6 effective grams carb per 1/3 cup

Very tasty and great for special occasion treats. Make a nice big low carb
pancake and roll some apple pie filling in the middle, top with Splenda and
cinnamon freshly whipped cream, happy Sunday brunch

Ok, you guys are making me hungry here! The above mentioned Birthday
dinners sounded so delightful. I love being able to combine
celebrating with the victory of enjoying LC food. Well done guys!

I'm so glad that you're family is seeing what LC can do... you've
shown them the light.

It is available in *some* grocery stores. The one near my sister in NC
carries it. Sadly almost no supermarkets in NJ seem to carry it, certainly
none of the ones I usually go to do. I have found in it NJ at a super Stop
and Shop.

One disturbing thing I found in NC. The supermarket carried the original SF
splenda-sweetened cherry pie filling, but they seemed to be replacing it
with Splenda-sweetened SF cherry pie filling "Lite" - which had less fat,
but naturally several more grams of carbs than the original. Darn. I bought
out the store's remaining supply of the original. :-)

My BiL is looking darn good too! Still just wish I could convert my dad. He
probably needs LC the most, but I just can't get him into it.

My birthday is this week and I have been back at doing induction for
the past week because of the previous week's vacation in Mexico! It
was fab! Anyhow, my girlfriend invited us over for a special birthday
meal for me and asked me what I wanted. She does a great garlic rare
roast so I selected that with the usual sides. (Mashed turnip and
carrots, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffed mushrooms{lc style})
Additionally she added Spag squash, we brought fauxtatoes, horion
wings (first time with those and they were a hit!) and Myra's
cheesecake as dessert, thanks to my talented hubby. (As a note, my
friend is on a weigh****cher's diet as she started LC'ing first and
just didn't want to do that anymore after months, but got me
interested) Well; it wasn't induction but it was very good and still
on plan, back to induction for the rest of the week, even though who
knows what will be planned for supper on my actual birthday (Oct 22nd)

So Happy 44 to me this week and I feel better than I have for years. I
have to tell you all about my Curves 1 month anniversary and my trip,
I'll do that later!

Adios!
