Seafood Supper

I have been mainly focusing and seriously enjoying, all of the carb based meals Italy has to offer, because of course, why wouldn't you?!?  However, my will power to get on the treadmill is no where near my passion for eating pizza and pasta covered in cheese...  So, for my waistline and overall health I have been passing on the pasta and opting for skinny-fatgirl seafood options.  Yummm, I can deal with that, 

Warm Seafood Salad

Mussels, prawns, calamari, crab, and octopus; basically shell fish, seem to be the most popular creatures of the sea around here.  Count me in.  Restaurants are featuring dishes such as mussels marinara,  grilled scampi or calamari, octopus salad, and Fritto Misto.  This Fritto Misto (fried mixed seafood) is what I have to look out for, salty/savory/slightly greasy delicious and very Italian, but sadly, we all know that deep fried anything can't exactly be put on the healthy list :(  

Octopus Salad

Accidentally ended up with a potato crusted fish, not exactly what I was going for, don't worry I ate around the potato part.....kind of....

Fear not, I haven't turned my back on carbs completely, just taking a small break.  Will try to prepare a few Semi-Italian Vegetarian dishes as well... Thought of the Day: Eat Well, Live Well
