We are in the final week of the weight loss challenge! My mind is racing as to what I am going to make when we are done with this portion of the winter (9 weeks total)!
All I think about is pizza, pasta and fresh baked bread all of which we have pretty much gone without over the last 8 weeks! I know you are saying to yourself-is that possible? Yes I guess it is-but not neccesarily enjoyable.
Don't get me wrong I am definately noticing the difference in how things are fitting and I am getting compliments-which is awesome........but bring on the goodness! I will do a count down this week and then wait for next weekend and I will do the rundown of ALL the bad things we eat!
Keep your fingers crossed Frank is at the fish shack this weekend with his brothers which is a true test on how he will eat and where is weight will go in 3 days away.......

Wonderfully Flavorful New Sidedish!
In the paper this past week there was a recipe for Spinach in Browned Butter-now remember we are still on the weight loss challenge and anything that has butter in it sounds or so naughty!
But this dish as it was presented was only 156 calories per serving-I added a few things that would add a little bit in the calorie counter-but nothing that put it over the top. Here is my version of Spinach in Browned Butter
2 Tbsp butter
3/4 cup rough chopped oyster mushrooms
2 cloves garlic
1 pound spinach
salt and pepper to taste
2 hard boiled eggs chopped
1 small lemon cut into wedges for serving
Heat butter in large saute pan-as it starts to brown at the mushrooms and saute them for a couple of minutes until they take on some color. Then add the chopped garlic and saute for a minute or so. Add the spinach and wilt. Season with salt and pepper and serve topped with the hard boiled eggs that have been chopped.
Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on dish as being served.
Try this one and I can promise you will become a huge fan!
Enjoy

Almost Famous!
Check out the article in yesterday's Star Tribune-I was interviewed about a month ago about our winter cooking on our Big Green Egg-unfortunately our schedules didn't work out and we didn't get featured in the pictures!
Just reading the article makes me anxious for the weekend when it is supposed to be good and warm and we will fire up the old green egg!
