Optimum menu -

First couse - Romaine or green-leaf lettuce with this dressing: 1 part dijon mustard with 1 part balsamic vinegar - and 1 part extra virgin olive oil - 1 tsp fresh chopped garlic and 1/2 tsp salt. - Add tomatoes, sliced red onion, cheese, or other veggies - (carrots, onions, shallots, broccoli, cauliflower, beets, etc...)  

Second course - thin sliced beef - (top round) pan fried with real butter and chopped fresh garlic and a little salt and pepper - and roasted red peppers - (cheap if you go to a farmer's market) - and whole-grain rice or potatoes cooked in heavy cream, salt, garlic, and fresh-ground pepper -

then steamed veggies - any kind - (Corn is NOT a vegetable - it's a starch)

Dessert - fresh whole -fat vanilla yogurt with fruit:  (Peaches, strawberries, pineapple, blueberries) and cheese - Camembert , Brie, Chaumes,... with a small amount of bread...

The best bread I have found is "Le Petit Francais," which is found at most grocery stores in the frozen bread section - You just pop it in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes and it is perfect - just like "true" European bread - very crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I promise you that this is filling and healthy. Simple meal - a norm in my household...
