Day 18
The BBQ we’d been invited to for last night was cancelled, so instead I invited a few neighbors over for dinner. It’s easy to control the food when you’re hosting. Of course, I served wine too, but didn’t have any due to this no sugar year pledge to myself. It would have been easy to have a glass of wine with dinner and carry on as others were, but thanks to my promise it was easy to say no.
We grilled chicken and steak, and I made a big spinach and strawberry salad and took my serving before dressing the remaining salad. I also made a corn, tomato, and cucumber salad with a homemade sugar-free dressing, and a stone fruit, blueberry, and mint salad for dessert with pound cake on the side. The summer fruits alone with the mint was delish and even got compliments.
It was a beautiful night in the garden!
My parents are visiting today and we’ll be headed out to an Italian restaurant for dinner. Signing off to check the menu.
