Dennis and I have discovered a good low-carb supper that we
really enjoy…a charcuterie board. Of course, they have long been a staple at
parties, but I never thought to do one for just the two of us until I read
about someone doing it with their family. Since Dennis has to really limit his
carbs in the evening, I have struggled with good light dinner ideas. I like
variety! And there are just so many ways to fix meat and vegetables without
using potatoes, pasta or rice. So we’ve started doing this about once a week
and love it! Of course, Dennis is predictable: smoked turkey and cheddar cheese
and olives. I also include raw veggies, which we are eating a LOT of these
days. (I am SO thankful for baby carrots and sugar snap peas!) I try to include
a couple of different kind of cheeses for myself, plus some good sliced ham and
maybe some turkey pepperoni. I’m happy with a little honey mustard to dip it
all in. (Dennis prefers his plain. Surprise, surprise!) Another bonus is that
the clean-up is quick and easy!
What different kinds of meals are you serving since we are
spending more time in the kitchen?
