I probably struggled harder with this menu than I have with any other monthly dinner. Only because I promised the items would be 'free' of something. My choices were meat-free, gluten-free, fat-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, etc, etc. I wanted to make things that people normally eat but the 'free' version isn't always a great alternative.
So here's how it broke down:
Appetizers - Totally Fat-Free
 |
| Microwave Potato Chips |
|
 |
| Vegetable Rainbow |
|
 |
| Curry and Apricot Yogurt Dip |
 |
| White Bean Dip |
Dinner - Gluten-free, meat-free
 |
| Mario Batali's Polpette Di Lupo (meatless meatballs) served over gluten-free pasta |
 |
| Gluten-free bread made in the bread machine |
Dessert - Sugar-free
 |
| Sugar-free apple pie (made with Splenda) |
Personally I thought every single item was fabulous. No flavor lost with any of these!
I will post step-by-step directions for the Polpette Di Lupo later in the week.
