Nutritious, Delicious, Romantic and Budget Friendly
You know how you usually think of lobster as a very special and expensive treat? Well, not this year. Since people consider lobster to be a luxury food, demand is way, way down this year, and supply is way, way up thanks to really good oversight of fishing practices.
More supply + less demand = cheaper lobster.
It’s actually cheaper than steak right now. So, my fiancé (will be my wife tomorrow!) and I have been taking advantage.
I ate the other 5 before I could take this picture.
This weekend we went to Harris Teeter and got 8 lobster tails for about $21. (A year ago I think that one lobster tail in a restaurant was $20.)
Josef’s Fat-Burning Frittata
Cook once, eat 2, 3 or 4 times – in 25min you can have 4 or more healthy meals that are packed with fiber, veggies, healthy fat, protein and taste, yet with no starchy carbs.
Don’t believe the hype. Egg yolks, especially those high in omega-3 fats, are NOT bad for you or your heart. This was widely HYPOTHESIZED in the 1980’s, but when actually tested, researchers have found that adding up to 40 egg yolks a week to a person’s diet did no harm. In fact, all of the healthy fat in this dish should be GOOD for you and your heart.
