Weekend Getaway

Kept it low carb in Gruene, Tx at The Gristmill Restaurant and in New Braunfels at Coopers Bbq

Parmesan Fried Chicken

Boneless skinless chicken breast cut into strips. Dip strips in egg. Roll strip into freshly grated parmesan cheese. Drop into hot oil, whichever oil you prefer, I used vegetable oil. Cook until golden brown on each side. I served it with a Caesar salad. The chicken comes out so juicy and very tasty. Even if you aren't doing low carb, this is a very tasty meal that the entire family will enjoy!

Tuesday 1/22/2013 Dinner

Today I actually cooked! Well sorta. Tonight we made pizza! We found a low carb flat bread that has only 5 carbs per flat bread, and it tasted amazing! I used 2 tablespoons of Classico pesto (4 carbs per 1/4 cup= 2 carbs per 2 tablespoons) as my sauce and Jose used Ragu cheesy classic Alfredo sauce (2 carbs per 1/4 cup=1 carb per 2 tablespoons)  as his sauce, both low carb especially compared to your ordinary marinara sauce. We bought mozzarella cheese shredded (0 carbs) and piled it on. Then we added our toppings, I added pepperoni (0 carbs)and Jose added some lunch meat ham slices (0 carbs) and left over grilled chicken (0 carbs)  from a bbq we had last week. We popped them in the oven at 350° & at 10 minutes the cheese was melted and the edges were crunchy, next time I will bake on a pan with the holes in it to get the whole thing crunchy. The result, a thin crust pizza! You can definitely put a pizza sauce instead of how we did it, just make sure it is on the lower side as far as carbs go.
Here is my 7 carb pizza & Jose's 6 carb pizza! They were BIG, filled us both up!

Tuesday 1/22/2013 lunch

Today I enjoyed a bun-less Wendy's grilled chicken sandwich and a side Caesar salad!

Monday 1/21/13

Well today I would have had a bun-less burger but my wonderful fiance accidentally cancelled my debit card while trying to cancel his card because he thought he lost his, I don't carry cash on me and the banks were closed today for MLK. So I was lazy and watched the inauguration till my fiance came home and then we went to Luby's for dinner. I had the chopped beef steak with a side salad and green beans. He had baked fish with cabbage and a salad which are all good low carb choices. After that we stopped at our local new Kroger grocery store, we found so much low carb stuff and bought ingredients to make a low carb pizza tomorrow! I can't wait! We came home and had some Breyers vanilla carb smart ice cream!

Sunday 1/20/13

Sunday we had a late brunch at Don Luis, a little Mexican restaurant around the block. I had eggs and bacon with a little bit of refried beans.
We basically napped until dinner, which I know is bad :/ We went to Wings N More for dinner, I had the grilled chicken Caesar salad, it's one of my favorites! My fiance had hot wings which is also a great alternative if you are watching your carbs. TIP: Make sure you are ordering bone in naked wings. Boneless wings are usually breaded and have lots of carbs!! And the hot sauce that the wings are tossed in typically has 0-1 carb.
