Covered dish supper at Church

OMG!!! This is my biggest temptation (lol)because the ladies and the gentlemen at my church are wonderful cooks but just about everything is fattening...I live in south carolina where every meal could be mashed potatoes, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, sweet tea and PIE (notice the absence of veggies)! Believe me that every southern, fattening dish was represented and on display to temp my willpower. Im patting myself on the back today because I made healthy choices...salad, brown rice, grilled chicken and I drank water...I even allowed myself 1 small chocolate chip cookie.

So you should! Well done!

Wow, I just love southern cooking. I always come back mountainous whenever I go to the States. I am hugely impressed by your willpower..........and I love the idea of a 'Covered Dish Supper'.

oh wow...you dont have covered dish supper's at your church? I wonder sometimes if anyone would even attend if food werent involved...some of these ladies prepare dishes from recipes handed down for generations. The best event is our yearly easter breakfast's with grits, quiche's and many many casserole's...and even breakfast pizza's...I have been pouring over low cal...healthier recipes...and there are tons of them.

wow you have done so well to resist you so deserved that cookie
