Last night I made a great dinner for Valentines Day. It wasn’t completely low fat, but then it was a special occasion. You want to be careful, and not go insane trying to eat all low fat all the time! Pretty soon you are going to be binging on junk food.
So last night I made some filet mignon (very lean beef) with a thin pat of steak butter (butter with garlic, parsely, worchester sauce, etc in it) melted over the top. The butter was not low fat, but it is really good with the filet mignon! I also made some sauteed mushrooms (sauteed in a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil), steamed broccoli, and boiled salt potatoes. I used Molly McButter on the potatoes and the broccoli. We also had a caesar salad, light on the dressing. For dessert my wife had made some chocolate dipped strawberries. These were really good.
Do we eat like this all the time? NO! But on special occasions, yes!
Today it is back to eating Healthy Choice entrees. So don’t feel bad to eat a good, not quite so low fat meal every once in a while! Don’t go overboard though!
