Post reset Day 5 (2/16)

Sun Feb 16 - Day 5 post Reset

Yesterday was Fresh Market Sat special day.. Lobster tails babeee.. Pre reset we would purchase lobster tails when they were on sale (1-2 x/mth). I would poach them in  lemon juice, garlic, butter, white wine and chx broth, then add angle hair pasta, parsley and a ton of parm/asiago/etc cheese. I can only image the calorie/fat content of that wonderful dish. Not that I added that much butter, but paired with a mega pasta serving.. you know where I am going..  Found these pictures on my phone from one of the times I made it.. Ohh soo YUMMY!! An occasional dinner ONLY going forward.
My challenge ... make this dish healthy yet 'Heather-ized'





My strategy - no gluten, low fat and only dairy is butter
Sauce - use only 1 TBS of butter for the whole dish, add more lemon juice and chx broth. I also poached the tail longer in the shell.
Pasta replacement - spaghetti squash, yellow squash, zucchini and Quinoa
Cheese replacement -  Wholegrain Rice Vermicelli - yes seriously.. I DID just say that.. :)


 So what do you think?? It tastes just as good as it looks.. Glad we bought 4 tails so we can have this again sometime this coming week. Very good!!

Tomorrow I will need to monitor to see if I get any breakouts or have issues. I probably shouldn't have added dairy and lobster in the same day.. But you can't have lobster without a touch of butter.. RIGHT??

Speaking of dairy.. first batch of Kefir I had to toss.. so much for not reading directions. Will try again but will use only 1 C milk.

Snack -  1 C beet greens, 2 oz leftover Sea Bass
Lunch - 1 serving Guacamole, 2 Romaine lettuce wraps (5 oz chicken, 1 oz goat cheese)
