Eek. Quick cooking question-

I'm having a little V-Day party tomorrow, that involves lunch for women and kids. The kids are eating pizza, red fruit, and cookies. The moms? That's my question. I'm definitely serving gougeres, and either red fruit or strawberry spinach salad, depending on the strawberries at the grocery store. And chocolate raspberry tarts (VERY rich) for dessert.

So, lunch. Two options:

1.) Smoked chicken salad with basil Parmesan mayonnaise. Smoked chicken, cheese, proscuitto, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, and scallions with a basil parm mayo (not homemade, because one of my guests is pregnant.)

2.) Macaroni and cheese with shiitake mushrooms, corn, and bacon. Mac, cheddar cheese, shiitake mushrooms, bacon, super-sweet white corn, parsley, and cream.

Salad always sounds to me like fake food. It's what you eat when you're trying to be good, even though you know it's not as good as what you really want. I'm happy to drink diet coke, and have lost my taste for the real stuff because of it, but I've never come close to having eaten enough salad that I'd rather have another one than a pizza.

If it has lettuce, I often agree with you. I'll eat it to mostly fill up and then eat something else, just for the calorie count. But this one has no lettuce or greens whatsoever :) It's mainly chicken. It worked really, really well, especially with the chocolate raspberry tarts afterwards. (Because wow, are those AMAZING.)
