Day Ten - Tuesday April 28

Here's today's menu and carb count was approx 21...

Breakfast:

2 eggs, scrambled, with cheese

1 cup green tea with 1 packet of splenda

Lunch:

2 chicken strips (see last night's dinner)
1/4 c steamed broccoli

1 can Minute Maid Light lemonade

Dinner:

Crab Cakes

2 cans crab meat
1 tablespoon chopped anaheim pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon heavy mayonnaise
1 egg
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
spices (?)
2 tablespoons oil
Mustard Sauce, recipe follows

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients, except oil and Mustard Sauce until blended. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. With a tablespoon, carefully spoon poker-chip size mini-cakes into the pan. (The batter will be very loose since there are no bread crumbs, but once the egg in the mix starts to cook they will hold together fine.) Cook on 1 side until firm, about 2 minutes, and then flip and cook for about 1 more minute. Cook in batches as necessary. Serve hot with mustard sauce.

Mustard Sauce:

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup brown spicy mustard

Mix ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Frozen Green Beans (very small serving)

Snacks:

Attended another retirement party today and had about four cheese cubes.
1/2 c Breyers Carb Smart ice cream (note, this is about $5 at Kroger, $2.75 at Walmart)
