Going to an Italian Restaurant tonigh....

So it's Valentine Weekend and my hubby and I are going to an Italian place tonight with our chruch and I cant eat pasta...

It's a nice place we went last year when I didnt have the band and they served alot of pasta dishes and bread and salad (buffet style)

*Sigh* Looks like I'll be sticking to the salad tonight...

Any nice soups, like pasta fagiole? A pasta with a soft cream filing, like manicotti? Cannoli, but only eat the filling? 

Italian restaurants usually have some seafood on their menus!

I like to order meat balls without the pasta.  They tend to go down well becuase they are mixed with fillers same as meat loaf.  I think veal scallopini is the one that's not breaded with a sauce of lemon, wine and butter.  (I don't worry about the sauce becuase not only does it help the veal go down, your portion will be small enough to control the calories as long as you don't go crazy.)

What's wrong with having a cup of whole wheat penne with sauce and a small siece of chicken parm. thats what I made tonight for a friends birthday. Is the carb really that bad to consume. I also have some wheat crakers and sharp cheese.....Too many calories? help me with this?

Carbs arn't my problem I physically can not eat pasta I get stuck and throw up...

So I ended up having salad with chicken from the chicken pasta and since the lasagna was really soft I tried a few bites of that it went down ok....I did have a baggette if that's how it's spelled and the calorie/fat fille terramasu! Yummy!

I go to Olive Garden about once a month or so, as well as other italian restaurants, and all have been able to do ricotta cheese with sauce and meatballs with mozzerella on top. YUMMY.

Eggplant parm? or meatballs
