today i went to my folks to have a family get together with my brother and boyfriend.

mom and dad both did their part to make a fajita type thing, so i made:

lettuce base
bunch of grilled shrimp (they also made steak)
grilled onions and peppers
cheddar
fresh guacamole
salsa

yum! and very flexible meal for lots of different tastes- they had wholewheat tortillas, gluten free corn trtillas (my boyfriend is GF but not lowcarb), shrimp AND steak, etc....easy to just let people just pick their own. i will keep this in mind for mixed crowds with diet stuff

Caprese salad: heirloom yellow tomato with fresh mozzarella and basil with seasalt- then added fun twist- leftover chunks of lemon garlic chicken with a touch of spinach.

diet pink lemonade

afternoon snack- my addiction- those wasabi seaweed crisps and tiger nuts

loved this salad combo!

Yesterday, pork rind dusted pork sirloin chop, sauteed with green peas in bacon fat, club soda
Today, two HOT italian sausages and a baby butter lettuce salad with red wine vinaigrette, club soda

ooh, the sausages with green salad and red wine vinaigrette sound perfect in summer!

another heirloom tomato and fresh mozzarella salad (was gifted ENORMOUS amounts of both) and scrambled eggs with french onion laughing cow cheese.

diet seven up

It was good! I love fresh mozzarella, wish I could eat dairy because that heirloom tomato salad sounds awesome! LUCKY YOU

Today I had leftover roast beef and broccoli, and some really nice naturally cured genoa salami. Mandarin Orange sparkling water to drink.

A taco salad (minus the shell, of course). I'm sure I'll be paying for it for the next few days with water retention, but it was awesome anyway.

A cup of diet coke. Wasn't hungry since I had 4 scrambled eggs w/4 strips of bacon this morning.

missed yesterday- was stressed out.....2 babybel.
aargh......

much better today
steamed egg with dill
2 babybel
small bag chive and onion roasted edmame
wasabi seaweed snacks

snacks: a greek yogurt made into garlic parika dip, with baby carrots

Two chicken legs and thighs with skin, with some cauliflower on the side. Also a couple baby carrots, and a diet pepsi - forgot to bring my club soda from home.

scrambled eggs with garlic herb laughing cow cheese
later on snacks were wasabi seaweed crisps, 2 babybel cheese, a mini dill pickle

diet 7-up

Chicken salad, tomato slices with cheddar cheese, and about 1/2 cup of berries. Great summer food during a heat wave.

We cleaned out the walk-in and the kitchen staff had pizza and I had pizza toppings.

Chunky chicken salad over baby butter lettuce... it's what's on the menu today. also a few slices of fresh tomato and some sparkling water.

A bowl of some homemade soup/stew of chicken quarters with skin and bone, celery, tomato, onion, bay leaf, garlic powder, s&p.

Grilled shrimp and baby sugar snap peas in oil. YUM
