Hi Everyone and I trust your Father's Day was spent with the people you love. I know I had a lovely dinner with my son, daughter, son-in-law, Dad and husband.

The menu was typical "Man Food" - Meat and potatoes, salad and green beans - we actually had New York Strips and Lobster tails - (On sale at Thrifty's) Whole grain crusty bread - An angel food cake with berries and 0 Fat Vanilla Greek yogurt rounded out the meal.

Here is what I did to keep my plate low fat.

Just lemon juice on the lobster tail - no butter..

Only had 1/2 a steak - no oil or butter on top

Baked potato - used 0 fat sour cream - daiya cheese and green onions - it was yummy!

green beans - no butter on the veges

Salad - I actually did not eat my salad, but I had 0 fat dressing on the table for me. (too full)

No Butter on the bread

I actually had real butter, full fat sour cream and all the trimmings for the others at the table - they shouldn't have to suffer because of me!!!

My daughter made the angel food cake and berries and even brought a low fat frozen yogurt, but I was a little worries about the fat in the steak so I choose to have the ) fat Greek yogurt instead.

I guess I am getting my head wrapped around this - just have to look for the lower fat dairy options and trim all meats. I love fruit and veges - (good thing) and the fruit does satisfy my sweet tooth.

Happy Fathers Day to everyone!
