Birthday Feast

What is a birthday without some special munchies to go with it? I planned quite a feast for my birthday this year! Including a few foods outside of the low-carb list, but as I've said before, it's okay once for us in a while! First on the menu were roasted veggies--potatoes, acorn squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes, drizzled with a mustard sauce which was perfect. I've always wanted to have tacos, (a no-no cause of the corn), which were yummy with hamburger, refried beans, lettuce, and tomato salsa. There in front is the Caesar salad, also delicious. I'll be giving you the recipe for that in my next post!

Fruit Fiesta

Time for dessert! Underneath that painstakingly arranged fruit is a layer of cream cheese and oat/rice crust. I drizzled some hot apricot preserves over the peaches, strawberries, and bananas to finish it up. I must admit, everyone was too stuffed after the meal and cake for dessert! It's still sitting in the fridge untouched! Something to look forward to, I guess...
