During the summer light meals are the only way to go

Last night I served a Chef Salad. Took all of 10 minutes to whip up the chef salad from ingredients from the refrigerator. I took sandwich meat including Roast Beef, Ham and Salami and cut 5 pieces each into squares. I then spread them out over the lettuce. I grated cheddar cheese, added 3 boiled eggs cut up, zuchinni cut up and tomatoes fresh off my vine out back.

Add some lite dressing and it will cut down on calories and make for an enjoyable light meal.

Luck of the draw cooking

Alfredo sauce is a favorite of mine. When you mix noodles, chicken, and vegetables. this makes one of the quickest meals you can possibly manage.

My husband got on his mix the bag routine and decided to throw everything in the book in the frying pan and let it simmer. Needless to say it was wonderful. The luck of the draw cooking is always the best.

Calories? Who cares when it is fish!

College daughter at it again. I really need to find her something to do. Last night we had baked catfish. As fresh as it gets. A friend of my husband gave him some catfish straight out of the lake.

Coleslaw, french fries and breaded catfish. Calories? Who cares when it is fish!

Choice Recipes for Summer Break

My choice recipes are getting utilized by my daughter. In for Summer Break from College my daughter has taken over the cooking. She knows what she wants but still has to ask for help on the spices.

Last night she cooked pork chops, corn and green beans. She is determined to get up on a low calorie eating habit and this dinner was all of 43 Fat Calories.

Great daughter I have.

The No Fat Meat

Cooking every evening has become a past time for me. In other words it is in the past. My husband cooked last night because he was tired of eating sandwiches. I am here to tell you he is the best cook I have ever run across.

Every year we have someone give us deer meat. You know the south they have to hunt and feel like they have achieved something. Plus we have an abundance of deer in the South and parks are literally asking men to come out with bows and arrows and take some out so they will not starve to death.

My husband took the deer sausage last night and cook it in a skillet. He then took a box of Hamburger Helper and added it to the meat. You may not know but deer meat does not have fat. Anyway, he added tomatoes and bell peppers.

To tell you the truth that was the best dinner I had had in a very long time.
