Anyway I have a Superbowl party I need to bring a dish to, a main dish to
feed at least 10 people. I say main dish because I was told to bring
whatever I can eat. Everyone knows me as the "mom" of our group since I
coordinate our meetings and dinners so everyone looks forward to whatever I
bring.
Do any of you know a good casserole type main dish that I can bring that is
low carb? I’ve been agonizing over this for a couple weeks now trying to
find a recipe that is easy, and inexpensive, since it will be for 10+
people. Soup is out since the people hosting the party will be having a
couple selections of that (all carb would it figure).
Boy I never knew how carbs play such a big a part of our diets especially if
you’re looking for inexpensive cooking ideas.. Sigh… I’m still struggling
with this as you can see.

This is author Mohica Bhide’s go-to Monday night recipe,
needing just a half-hour’s marinating time. "It’s what
I do when I don’t feel like making anything else, because
it’s so easy," she says. Serve with rice, a green salad
and Deep Tandoori Roti, a brand of Indian bread. The
chicken also can be threaded onto metal skewers and
grilled over indirect heat for 8 to 10 minutes.
