thank you nocarbcat! i love cooking, so i try to never talk about low carb with friends and family, i just cook meals they would naturally like
.
2 nights ago, we had friends in town, and were prepping for a race the next day:
boyfriends and a friend took the wheel and made a garlic lemon chicken
with roasted broccoli and cauli and bell peppers in EVOO and garlic and seasalt
salad- heirloom tomatoes, bell peppers, greens and purple cabbage, cucumber- plus balsamic- it was a hole rainbow- nice presentation fellas
a large vodka with sf lemonade (jitters get me every race!)
the night after was post race celebration in a a very "working class" fishing town, full of charm, kind of nostalgic. we went to an AMAZING crab place:
i started with french onion soup and melted provolone
split side salad with the fella- bluecheese on my half
then we split a seafood sampler- a crabcake (almost no filler), scallops, steamed shrimp, and some type of white fish (all were AMAZING other then the fish which was a little dry)
i also had 2 crab balls, which do have breading, but it was a very special treat after a grueling 8 hours in 93 degree heat.
we toasted our victory- 2 vodka sodas for me, and i fell asleep on ride home in backseat
tonight we have so many leftovers from all our guests this weekend- so a mix of the garlic lemon chicken, rainbow salad, maybe some cheddar broccoli quiche......
