Supper Menu

Tonight, we're having Roast. I've decided to go for the cucumber thing again (I seriously love cucumbers), while Mom is doing steamed broccoli. Normally, a roast dinner includes baked potatoes, onions, cooked carrots, and some sort of sweet jelly stuff Mom makes and cans.

Roast (150 calories)

100g roast

salt and pepper to taste

1 T Braggs' Liquid Aminos

1/2 t rosemary

1/2 t garlic (or more if you like)

sprig of fresh basil

Create a rub with rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper. In an 8" (or so) square of foil, rub the seasonings onto the roast. Pour Braggs' over the meat, lay basil on top and fold foil closed. Put in toaster oven at 350* until the meat is as you prefer.

3 cups Cucumbers ( 45 calories)

Grissini Breadstick (20 calories) <--found at Safeway in both Sea Salt and Parmeasean flavors!

1/2 orange (30 calories)

That puts me precisely at 500 calories for the day.

Everyone who's done a 500 calorie diet before kept telling me this was going to be so hard. I just don't agree. This is, especially after the very prominent memory of those loading days, wonderful!!
