YUM! We had a full fledged turkey dinner today. I had the good fortune to buy two more frozen Butterball bone-in turkey breasts. We love turkey and it is good for my cardiac low sodium, low fat diet. So with the two I already had minus the one we cooked today, we still have 3 nice Butterball breasts in the freezer in the garage. You don't often see Butterball bone-in turkey breasts for 99 cents a pound.
We had turkey, home made bread stuffing, steamed broccoli, butternut squash, mashed potatoes, and gravy, and finally, we will finish it off later with a sliver of Kathy's home made strawberry cream cheese pie with a graham cracker crust. ( my fat and sugar for the day)
Who says you can't eat well on a cardiac diet. I had oatmeal with skim milk and stevia sweetener for breakfast. At noon I had a tossed green salad and four saltine squares. For supper I exceeded the recommended fat for the day, with the 3 tablespoons of gravy and the pie, but not by a lot.
I have been amazed at relatively easy it has been to eat a one plate of food at sitting and to limit my intake to 4-6 ounces of animal protein, no salt, and a very small amount of Smart Choice margarine on a piece of toast once a week when I splurge and have 2 scrambled eggs, and a slice of whole grain toast.
I leave the table satisfied, and I have managed to drop 40 lbs. since the first part of February.
