Really getting into this dieting thing!

Hello there,

Keith and I are really getting into this dieting thing, don't know if it is working or not but we are finding great dishes.

The salad was unbelievable, it taste like potato salad.   Be sure to make it early so it can cool in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours.  Keith rated it a 5 out of 5.

The chicken dish was good and tasty, I really enjoyed it but Keith only gave it a 4.  I will make again though.

These are great diet dishes and great for diabetics too.  Let me know how you like them.
