Rick and I are spending three days with our daughter, son-in-law, and their 2 cats, having a late Christmas celebration, and just enjoying being together. Lisa is extremely creative in everything she does, and that includes cooking. While I am here I'll share with you some of the meals she prepares for us.
Lisa has an extra challenge with her meal choices and cooking. Her husband, for health reasons cannot eat certain kinds of meat, particularly beef. Adam does eat turkey and chicken because they tend to be the best of all the meats for him. Meat or any product coming from a hoofed animal really cause him problems. including milk, cheese, ice cream, etc. Lisa has done amazingly well at adapting recipes to fit Adam's dietary requirements.
After arriving at their apartment yesterday afternoon, we went to Central Market which is always an adventure for Rick and I. You see, in our small town our ONLY grocery stores are Walmart and HEB (a small one at that). We get so excited to seeing all the wonderful produce and amazing choices of products we have never seen before. I love weighing the produce and printing out the price labels.
For dinner last night Lisa prepared Stuffed Bell Peppers, steamed broccoli, and chocolate ice cream (sugar free and milk free). The bell pepper stuffing was a mixture of ground turkey, spices, mushrooms, chopped onion, banana peppers and spices, topped with BBQ sauce drizzled on top. The ice cream was made from cocoa (getting our antioxicents!), soy milk, tofu, Splenda, and not much else. They have a wonderful ice cream maker that had finished freezing the ice cream by the time we finished the meal. Everything was perfect.
I am looking forward to the next 2 days and will share with you more about the things we eat and Lisa's creative meal ideas.
