| Sunday breakfast |
The crew and I passed our first test the past weekend. We heard nothing but great reviews. I believe this group is expecting an encore next year!
Beginning with pasta carbanara Friday evening, five cooks labored to set our best on the mobile serving line. We quickly learned that this East Bay group loved the sausages, roasted vegetables and salad bar. Though good, fresh baked dinner rolls, rich pasta and desserts fell by the wayside.
Here's the menu:

You know Steve, the way things are going right now it seems that even people not on a diet are pulling back from carbs, glutens, and desserts.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that trend even with myself. I hate diets, but I started scrolling back my calories and increasing my garage elliptical workouts! LOL And the things that fall by the wayside first and foremost are the things I listed above.
Really, I am just getting back to eating like I did in California, a lot of fresh veggies, cooked veggies, meats (lots of smoked and grilled meats)and usually only breads, pastas, and desserts if they are homemade and good!
I guess like a person on the Paleo diet who cheats for fresh baked/made items. No packaged glutens, sweets, or carbs.
BUT back to my point...its a trend, as we complain about overweight and diet problems I see all kinds and ages of people scaling back on those items without even realizing it.
