A 3 course meal.

Recently I have been re-reading a popular diet book called "French Women Don't Get Fat". The author gives tips and hints on how to eat for pleasure as well as lose weight. I know it sounds too good to be true and luckily she includes some of her recipes in the book. Everything from chicken to fish to homemade yogurt to apple tart without the dough which Zeb and I tried last night and I will say it was delicious and a lot less fattening without the dough. Zeb also made whip cream and added vanilla, cinnamon and sugar in it and it was so yum!
So, the reason for even mentioning dinner last night is that one of the author's main points in the book is to enjoy your meal. Eat at the table with napkins and everything. Anyone who knows Zeb or I know that we usually watch TV while we eat which can invoke eating on autopilot and not only not enjoying your meal but also eating more and not knowing that you are full. So, last night Zeb and I had a 3 course meal, salad with a Zeb made dressing, main course of steak, homemade mashed potatoes and steamed green beans, desert was the apple tart and Zeb made whip cream. It was beyond delicious and we ate less than we normally would. We also ate on our scmancy pants china which made everything new and fun.
