Jan 25....Hello Friday, I've missed you

I love the weekend. I am home all week, some days till after 5 pm by myself. The weekend comes and the house is full of my kids, thier friends and my husband. I have people to tlak to. Yay!!

Breakfast:

Poached egg with quinoa

Lunch:

chili mac with low carb noodles

Dinner:

Hmmmm, well for the family it's going to be london broil, corn on the cob and mashed potatos

For me:

CAROLYN'S POOR MAN'S LOBSTER

4 ounce fresh or frozen haddock fillet *

Water

1/2 teaspoon white vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda

1 tablespoon light butter, melted

Garlic or garlic powder, to taste

Place the fish in a deep-sided skillet. Add just enough water to cover the fish. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Use this much vinegar, salt and Splenda per fillet. Boil 5-8 minutes or until the fish turns white and feels firm but isn't flaking. Remove the fish from the water with a slotted spoon. Place on a broiler pan and broil 2 minutes per side to dry out the fish. Combine the melted butter and garlic powder; serve the fish dipped in the garlic butter.

Makes 1 serving

Can be frozen

* A 4 ounce fillet will yield between 2 1/2 and 2 3/4 ounces of cooked fish.

I think I will have steamed spinach with it.
