TLSP dinner 12/9/09

Lemon Merengue Pie from Living Paleo

The team got together for dinner at my place tonight.  The menu:

• Pecan-crusted chicken breast: sub out the salt in Emeril’s essence, and use almond meal instead of bread crumbs for the crust.
• Collard greens with bacon (see Veronica’s post)
• Paleo lemon merengue pie: make the crust with almond meal, cinnamon, organic vegetable shortening, and some vanilla extract (although it didn’t get crispy, so I need to figure out a new crust)

As usual, dinner was awesome (I’m a little slanted, because I made the chicken and the pie, although thanks go out to Andy for beating the shit out of the egg whites)!

Everyone is doing very well with their diets… and intend to keep going, even after some pretty bad cheating over the weekend.  Personally, I’m starting to make gains on my workouts again, which is a great feeling.

The TLSP support structure is awesome, and it’s only getting better, as we get more people at dinner and more time to get creative on what we’re eating.

Food should be enjoyed, and eating paleo allows you to really take an interest in your food and have fun with it!
