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?
One way to fix sandwiches is to make a lettuce wrap out of it. Use a big leaf of lettuce, put sliced meat on it, plus tomato wedges or pickle spear, cheese, and a little mayo or ranch dressing. Roll it up like a burrito and eat. It's yummy. My hubby who loves cheese and ice cream has developed an allergy to milk so we are reformulating our recipes and meals.
ReplyDeleteI love lettuce wraps! Thanks for the comment.
