Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! Today was an interesting day. We got a late start for breakfast so decided to turn it into a brunch. First, George fried up some bacon while I chopped mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes and ham for omelets. Then, I made french toast (for the kids) while George made omelets. My omelet was loaded, and with bacon on the side made for a huge breakfast.

A few hours later, a friend of ours called and invited us to the park for a Mother's Day cookout along with a few other families. Since it was sort of impromptu, I wasn't sure what to bring. I settled on a salad of tomato/basil/green onion tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper.

The cookout was great - I had chicken, a hot dog, mushrooms (cooked in some hot seasoning, yum), and my tomato basil salad. Had to pass up chips, corn on the cob, cookies, and many other tasty looking treats. Also, I had two Michelob Ultra beers (2.6 carbs each).

When I got home I wasn't really too hungry but had a sweet tooth. I had an Atkins Shake (1 carb) so I think I'm done for the day!

Came in right around 19 carbs today.

The pic I'm posting is last nights dinner - Crab cakes, squash/zucchini, and a tomato slice.

Here's the crab cake recipe - a little different than the previous one I posted.

Crab Cakes

3 cans crab meat
1 T chopped pepper
1 T chopped parsley
1 T mayo
1egg
1 T baking powder
1 T worcestershire sauce
1 t sage
1 t thyme

Mix together and fry in oil til cooked. Combine equal parts of mayo and hot spice mustard for the sauce.

Also, sauteed some onion and garlic then added the squash/zucchini with olive oil, salt and pepper, it made a tasty side!
