My reaction to rich food

My partner bought chantarelle mushrooms at the farmer's market. There are a ton of recipes that are healthy featuring this mushroom. But no, he had to have a cream sauce. So I made it for him. We had chanterelles with prawns and one scallop each, with a white wine, sherry, cream sauce over the top (I used half and half, not cream). The sauce was rich. Oh yeah! and there was a sprinkle of cheese on top too.

The sauce was odd I thought, it turned out too sweet and tangy. It had sherry in it, though I bought a very dry sherry. It also had lemon juice. I think it was supposed to be sweet and tangy and sort of herby. Since we are used to really rich and cheesy Alfredo's here in America it was odd to our pallet. 

So my prawns and one scallop were perfectly done. The mushrooms were sauteed and perfect. But by the end of my meal I was a little grossed out, it was too rich. I've been eating better and wow, I guess it does make a difference. Part of it might be that I had a glass of wine while cooking, and one with dinner, after not eating much today too.

Anyways. I went over my calories on butter, half and half and olive oil to make all the dinner components. But really, I don't think I did by a lot. I ate a tiny breakfast and lunch.

Point? It was worth it to make something new and exciting for my partner.  So I am a little disappointed I went over my calories for something that didn't turn out very well.

Man those mushrooms were delicious though!

And. 
Tomorrow is week one weigh in. I have been cheating and weighing in over the course of the week. I have hope that I lost weight this week and am on track! Let's see if this sauce sticks and tomorrow morning I didn't lose as much as I wanted though.
