Dinner for Two...



Dick and I really enjoy putting meals together. We have found comfort eating at home instead of depending on a restaurant to cook for us.

Counting calories has really pushed us to think more about what we eat and how we prepare it.

I get these crab cakes from Sam's Club, they are 120 calories each including the sauce. The green beans are called French Haricot Vert, I just steamed them. Served with a salad the total meal was 420 calories. Oh, we like to use limes in our tea, yummy!
These crab cakes are so good! They have 70% crab meat and come with an aioli sauce.

I keep them in the freezer for a night when we just want to chill.

Anywhere else to get then other than Sams? We have Sam's, I am just not a memeber.

Wow! presentation is everything. You could make a pb&j look good on a plate. Can you get the green beans at Sam's too?

Sara, I'll check to see if other places carry the crab cakes, I like them because they have 70% crab meat and not a lot of filler. You can still shop at Sam's...I think they add 5% or something like that. Even though it's volume food, I go ever other week and stock up on salad making things and veggie's since we eat so many of them now. A package of spring mix lettuce is huge and last 2 weeks and is the same price as Krogers small mix.

Felicia, yes they come in 2 packages. You find them on the wall next to the lettuces and fruit trays. I get aspargus there too since we eat a lot of it. Sometimes they have very small red, yellow and orange peppers...yummy.

PS...Thanks for the compliments...I get that natural from my Mom, presentation was very important to her. (being a preachers wife, she entertained quite a bit, she always made it an "event".)
