LowCarb Mothers Day Dinner
We had my mom and step father over for dinner in celebration of Mother's
Day. They aren't doing low-carb but I prepared it anyways. They are on/off Weight Watchers (mostly off), both are overweight but not obese. Dinner: Spinach Salad: Baby spinach Sliced strawberries Toasted almond slices Blue cheese dressing Main Entree: Grilled delmonico steaks (8 Oz) Grilled Portabella mushrooms slices brushed with olive oil and crushed garlic. Grilled teriyaki shrimp (jumbo shrimp marinated in Carbsense teriyaki marinade). Spaghetti squash with alfredo sauce. Arizona Spring Water Desert: Almond pound cake with blueberry sauce and whipped cream. The recipe for the pound cake has been posted here before. The blueberry sauce was very easy to make: 2 Cups frozen blueberries 1/4 cup water 3 TBS Splenda 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (mix with Splenda) Mix all ingredients together and heat to a boil then remove from heat and let cool a bit. Coffee They were both very impressed that I can eat this way and still lose weight (The desert being a very rare treat). I don't think they will switch to low-carb though. -- Randy M 234/188/175 Atkins since 7/14/03 |
