640.0. "HELP/IDEAS needed today!" by AKOPWJ::LANE (He's a cold hearted snake....) Fri Jan 18 1991 18:16

I'm having company for dinner tonight and I need some suggestions on a dessert.
One thing though, one of the people coming is a Chef in a restaurant.  So, I
would like something elegant, but on program.

So far I'm making:

Salad
Homemade Bread	(1B, 1FA for me)
Fettuchini Carbonara (1/2P, 2B, 235C)

This is what I have left to work with, 3 1/2 P, 2 FR, 2 FL and 350 calories

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Debbi

I just thought of something.  Since I have 3 1/2 P left still,  I think I'll 
make Chicken & Broccoli Fettuccini.  That way I can use them up, plus they are
less calories.  I'll use all my protein plus -85 calories.

I still have no idea what to do for dessert though.  I don't really want to 
use ALL of my optional since I still have 2 full days left before a new week.
So, still any ideas are welcome!

640.2Keep it simple!CYPRES::HERRERA_LIFri Jan 18 1991 20:1514
    HI,
    
    Why not make a pretty display of fresh fruit?  My husband is
    a chef also, and that's his favorite.  You can get a variety
    of "exotic" fruits and make it look really special.  You can
    leisurely munch on the fruit slices/bits/balls (whatever) and
    just enjoy the conversation.
    
    That's what I would do!  Good luck!  (I still get a little 
    nervous cooking for my chef!!)

That's a good idea too.  My other one is make chocolate mouse pie with whipped
cream and strawberries around the edges.

I'll see what I end up with coming out of the grocery store.  

Thanks for the idea!

640.4CHOCOLATE CAKE LOW IN FATCSS::KLATSKINMon Jan 21 1991 17:538
    I just cut out a recipe for a chocolate loaf cake with very little fat.
    The recipe came from the newest Woman's Day magazine.  It uses Karo
    Corn Syrup, and can be found as part of the Karo C.S. ad.
    
    I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds good.  
    
    You might want to check out the magazine and this specific recipe while
    at the supermarket.
640.5This one NEVER fails!SYSTMX::AZARIANMon Jan 21 1991 19:1016
    During the winter fresh fruit is such a treat (and more expensive than
    most everything else too!)  How about a modified triffle (sp.)  Layer
    fresh fruit, i.e. sliced kiwi, banana, strawberries with diet vanilla
    pudding.  If you do it in individual parfat glasses you can control
    your portion.  If you do it in a large bowl (like a giant brandy
    snifter) you layer the edge fruit up against the glass.  Tres eligant
    and you've only used up 1F and 1M if it's diet pudding (heck you could
    have two helpings at that rate!)  I've never made it yet when someone
    has detected that it was diet pudding.  If you really want to get
    extravagant... put in a few tsps of sherry in the non WW groups for a
    little extra something.
    
    Enjoy yourself!
