Weekends are amazing, aren't they? Since Jason and I both work full time our weekends are all we look forward to and we try to get as much done as possible. Today we were running errands all day and then we decided to grab lunch a lil later than usual. Late lunches can be deadly - I know from experience. It's so easy to eat lunch late and then come home and want to snack instead of make a full dinner. Fear not of the deadly I'm-not-hungry-enough-for-a-full-dinner-muchies! There are low carb choices that you can make instead and you will feel satisfied and guilt free! It's all about planning ahead.
Jason and I knew we would be victims tonight- so we came prepared. We stopped at Wegmans and picked up some little neck clams. They are so good!! Once we got our hunger pains around 7pm Jason cooked them right on the grill! My favorite way to eat clams. They spit out a lot of the extra juice they're carrying, and before they spit it out they cook in it. I am not a fan of boiling anything so the grill is my go to! Once the clams are open they are ready to go. I melted some butter and served with some lemon slices. Nothing better. Fresh, flavorful, simple, and totally light. This night could have gone bad but we saved it by being prepared with a low carb and tasty dinner!
Throw the clams right on a preheated medium high grill.
Close the lid.
Check on them in 2-3 minutes.
As they start to open up pull them off, squirt with some lemon, dip in melted butter and close your eyes and savor how amazing life can be :)
Gorgeous! So simple yet fresh and light. It really is easy to eat healthy you just have to plan ahead!
There you have it! A bowl full of shells.
I'd say this dinner was a success!
