Hi Mariana.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

Today I am making a Lasagna but with Turkey Mince.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

I love seafood lasagna. Have you ever had that? It's wonderful stuff. I haven't made it in a long time because it's pretty calorific.

Today my boss wants to order our favorite veggie pizza from our favorite pizza place, so I'll have a few pieces of that. I usually get salad as well, but I'm not in the mood for salad today.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

I've heard of it Linda, but not tried it, i'm not a lover of seafood or Crab and Squid I like.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

I'm kind of a seafood fanatic, squid included!

That reminds me, I have a whole bag of frozen squid rings. Need to turn those babies into some calamari sometime soon. I also love calamari salad.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

Yes I like Calamari if its cooked right.

Today we are having:-

Chicken breasts wrapped in bacon with BQ Sauce and Vegs.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

Oh wow, the chicken sounds good. I love wrapped chicken (or any meat, really) in bacon because the fat from the bacon makes the meat nice and moist and delicious.

I think today for lunch I'm going to make calamari and spinach salad, since I've been talking about it and I've got some in there I need to use up. Well, some of it, at least. It's a pretty big bag. But what I usually do is saute the squid rings in minced garlic and a little bit of soy or Worcestershire sauce and add it to a bed of fresh baby spinach while it's still warm. And to that salad, my favorite things to add are diced carrots, diced hard boiled egg, crumbled cooked bacon, diced tomatoes and sliced red onion. It's so good. Sometimes I don't even use dressing because the warm, sauteed calamari is dumped onto the salad along with the juices of whatever I sauteed it in.

I'm picking up the ingredients to make shrimp and grits today. Have a nice recipe I found that I'd like to try and I've never had shrimp and grits and have always wanted to try it.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

Your dinner sounds lovely today Linda.

What is Grits?

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

Grits are typically eaten as a hot cereal for breakfast, although they can be eaten at any time for any meal, such as shrimp and grits. Grits are made from corn that is ground into coarse meal. Kind of like mush and polenta. It can also be made from hominy. Shrimp and grits is a traditional southern-American dish. I love a bowl of hot grits with butter. Some people like it sweet, using maple syrup instead. It's actually made many ways.

This is a bowl of traditional grits...



And this is shrimp and grits...
