Sunday Dinner - June 5th, 2011 at a friend's house...

...what a lovely weekend. It looks like summer has finally arrived in our part of the world. Who does not love summer? Summer - walking barefoot in the grass, bike rides, hanging out in the backyard and of course barbeques. This weekend were invited to a BBQ on both evenings. Saturday, and Sunday which means this mothership did not cook on any day this Weekend :)

OK - we were invited both days. Contrary to the perspective of others neither dinner invitations nor eating out are a big deal just because both girls have Galactosemia. I just make sure that there will be food the ladies can eat :) And you know, if you have read my Blog before, that the only foods we exclude are those actually containing milk, a milk derivative, and milk sugars. So no whey, lactose, casein, and the other usual culprits. We say Yes to everything else. Soy, tomatoes, strawberries, nuts...the sky is the limit :) So now back to our lovely BBQ's. Saturday night chicken, asparagus, portabella mushrooms off the grill. The girl's are not huge fans of chicken so I brought along Hot Dogs and desert (So Delicious) Coconut Milk ice cream. Delicious and so much Fun :)

This is Sunday night BBQ. Doesn't it look amazing? And yes it was amazing :) In any case cedar planked Cooper River Salmon, zucchini, red peppers, and asparagus, and potatoes all of the grill. Along side our friends made two fantastic salads. Tomato/Cucumber, and garden greens with jicima, and mandarins. We all loved it :) BTW- can you see Mia Rosie in the background :) - Have a great start into the week. Remember the sky is the limit and if course, the glass is always half full :)
