We are doing breakfast for dinner tonight; sausage patties, eggs, and fried potatoes for Ron. Sausage patty and a vegetable omelet for me.

I'm trying this new recipe tonight.  Blane gave me the inspiration with a beautiful pork chop dish he and CA made last week but I'll have to save that one for a day when I have bone in pork chops.   And instead of cauliflower rice I found a frozen medley of riced cauliflower AND sweet potatoes.  I think Bird's Eye is the brand.

Going out with my girls tonight. All this eating out sure is tricky while trying to low carb, although I have done surprisingly well considering our party weekend.

I'm thinking about having a spinach salad and either mussels or scallops tonight. Oh, and a glass or two of wine. Wink

Have fun!

I am making zuppa toscana soup for the first time but am going cut the potatoes in half and supplement with cauliflower to keep the carb count down a little bit.

Oh, you are going to love zuppa! We do, anyway. Wink

I love the idea of using 1/2 cauliflower to help cut the carbs. It works pretty well even with using all cauliflower, but some potatoes would be better. BTW, don't know if you have ever used frozen hash brown potatoes, but they work really well in this type of soup and in clam chowder. It saves time when you can just measure out a cup or two.

There is a recipe for clam chowder that uses diced turnips in place of potatoes and that is suppose to be lower carb.

Trixxe, the recipe I use has no potatoes.   It has a whole head of cauliflower instead.

We worked until,eight the last two nights, so ordered pizza the first night and tried a Bertolli frozen pasta dish last night.  The Bertolli dinner was pretty darn good.  I'll do it again in a pinch!

Tonight was grilled chicken with Basil Pesto Pasta.  Long day to go to Duke for William's check up.  He has now been released for a year instead of every six months.   Big Grin
