I have read so many postings of banders wanting to know what to eat, what can they eat, etc.... I would like to share my evening meal with everyone to show that banders can eat just like everyone else and can enjoy it. Plus I want to brag about it!! lol

Ok, let me set the mood. It rained all day Saturday thru Sunday morning, then the sun came out for the day, by Sunday evening it was gorgeous outside, about 78 degrees, crisp air with the smell of the rain, perfect for a BBQ. This is the menu my husband and I enjoyed:

1 glass (5oz) of Zinfandel wine from my favorite Texas winary (drank while BBQing)

1 3oz bacon wrapped beef tenderloin (I didn't eat the bacon,I could but I didn't want it)

1/4 cup Butternut Squash that was brushed with Olive Oil and grilled (about 7 minutes a side) (Note: Squash was grown in our garden so it tastes that much better!)

1/2 cup spinach, walnut & fat free cheddar cheese salad with homemade Balsamic vinaigrette

The whole meal including the wine was just under 350 calories. The beautiful evening (& company) was priceless!

For someone who is on full liquids, that sure sounds like a great dinner!!!! I wish I could just lick your steak.

Sounds fantastic! Glad you enjoyed!!

You deserved it GF!!!
