BACK HOME

After a attending a successful tradeshow and eating out each night at extremely nice restaurants, it becomes an extra joy to just be home and eat a home cooked meal.  My wife, makes a great salad and piles on different healthy, low calorie items - hearts of palm, tomato, mushrooms, beets and  artichoke hearts on spinach topped off with delicious zero calorie dressing.   It is a fabulous treat and it never fails to satisfy.

BIG SALAD, Trader Joe's turkey burger, potato pancake, zucchini, miso soup  440 calories

The nice thing about my meals prepared at home is that I almost always add a soup.   My needs are so uncomplicated.  I don't require fancy recipes.  I can be made happy with a turkey burger (like I had last night) or a salmon burger or a piece of fish or a piece of meat.  I do think that I am lucky that satisfaction from the dinner plate comes easily to me.
