One of the reasons that I was up so late last night was because I was trying to prepare dinner for tonight. With the kids all playing baseball or softball my evenings are filling up quickly. In addition, my wife is working on her masters degree in special education, so she works on course work in the evenings. Therefore, last night at about 10:00 PM I went to Walmart and found some ingredients to put together a meal. I decided that a Mexican casserole would be good for dinner because the kids always seem to like food like that when my wife cooks it.
So while at Walmart I bought some ground turkey, fat free sour cream, fat free cheese (cheddar and mozzarella), some diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, black beans, and some corn tortillas. I spent the rest of the evening assembling the casserole so that all my wife would need to do when she got home from work would be to heat it up in the oven. I thought great, I have come up with a low fat healthy Mexican casserole that my family will love. (Think of a Mexican lasagna using tortillas instead of noodles and you will have what I made)
Tonight when I arrived home from work my family disproved my hypothesis about the casserole that I had created. I thought it was great but I was out voted 5 to 1. With comments about the black beans, the unidentifiable white meat (my wife's comment), and the texture, Everyone in the family, with the exception of my Golden retriever and my cat, did not care for the meal. I liked it and it must have been really good because my Golden retriever had 5 servings.
I guess if I treat this like a science fair experiment then my results are as follows, 1) This meal is not a keeper and my family thinks I should forget the recipe and 2) I know how to make low fat dog food. Therefore, if you have a family pet (preferably a dog or cat) then I have the perfect low fat recipe for them so that they can begin losing all the weight they have gained since kids have entered the family scene.
