For my son Joshua's 21st birthday, he requested LOW CARB for his dinner party. Seems everyone's on a diet these days, so I was happy to comply! We had 3 cooks in the kitchen today (4 - if you count Joshua peeling the boiled eggs, and helping with the preparations...)We whipped up a lowcarb meal of fried sirloin steak, Parmesan chicken wings, buffalo hot wings, and a chef salad of lettuce, cabbage, grated carrots, grated cheddar cheese, Feta cheese, chopped red onions, radishes, fresh spinach, boiled eggs, fried turkey bacon, and ranch!
For dessert, I made a blueberry cheesecake - Lowcarb, using the natural herb Stevia for sweetener. YUM!
