What ya eating tonight?

[pebulz 135]

My only experience with them was the awesome cheesecake. My daughter worked for one of their affiliates and used to get a 50% discount so we had a variety every holiday (the pumpkin is amazing!). She doesn't work for that company anymore. That's probably a GOOD thing!

I'm on vacation in a week. Maybe I'll go there for lunch one day and try something healthy. Portion size won't matter - my hubby could handle anything I don't finish. :-)

I haven't been post op either but they do have a fantastic tropical type of salad not sure if its something we can have post op but I do remember it was very light with little dressing and was so yummy

Tell me more about this "Mac" and cheese!!

Oh it's SO good! Technically, it's cauliflower and cheese, but I make it like how I love my Mac and cheese!

1 c. Low fat sharp cheddar

1/2 c. Skim milk

1 tsp mustard powder (or mustard)

Salt and pepper

2 steamer bags of cauliflower (I'm a busy gal so I use frozen. Lol)

Cook your cauliflower then chop the heck out of it (you don't want it "mashed", still leave some small chunks). Combine first 4 ingredients in sauce pan and cook on medium, constantly sitting until cheese sauce consistency is reached. Mix cauliflower with the sauce and spread in baking pan. Top with more cheese or crushed Special K Protein Cereal and bake for 20 min at 350! enjoy!

Flatout pizza

I didn't know the Cheesecake Factory had anything good for you. I may have to rethink my hard and fast rule about never setting foot in the place! Lol

Terry, they have a specific portion of the Menu called SkinnyLicious. It's all lean foods and they state the calorie count under each meal.

http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/menu/skinnylicious/

They even have Splenda cheesecake. I about fell flat on my face with happiness.

[ArmyOfMe 82]

With their huge menu there is probably several choices that could work. I haven't been post op but I used to love their steak Diane. Oh my that's some wonderful steak. I remember they had great roast chicken too- the only issue I would see is the portions are too big for us. I'd try to split something with another person.

I do miss their wonderful cheesecake.... Oh well.

Don't be sad. You can still have their cheesecake. They have a Splenda cheesecake for diabetics (quoted the waitress), etc.

Also a low carb cheesecake.

Ham steak and low carb "Mac" and cheese! SOO delicious!

Is this cauliflower?? Looks super yummy:) how'd you make it??
