Dietitians Can Eat!

I just got home from the Chicago Dietetic Association meeting held at Wildfire.  The presentation was called:  The Infamous Trilogy:  Inflammation, Malnutrition, and Chronic Disease.  It was pretty good!  And the presenter, Patricia Fuhrman was very entertaining and engaging, which can be a very hard thing to do for certain subjects, like the one presented tonight!  Most importantly, the food was SOOO GOOOOD!!!

I'm pretty tired so I'll get straight to the point :)

The service was great, they just kept the food coming!  We started with bread, which I forgot to take a picture.  I just had a little chunk!  

After the bread came the Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato and Basil Pizza.  The dough was great and really made the pizza.  

Then came the Oven Baked Goat Cheese.  I'm a huge goat cheese fan so I was very pleased with this offering.  It came with a toasted garlic pita triangle.  

Next was the Greek Salad!  They also offered a chopped salad that I passed up because of the chicken.  The Greek Salad was pretty awesome though!

The entree followed shortly after.  They brought out a huge plate of chicken, a bowl of mashed potatoes, a bowl of broccoli, and a bowl of vegetable pasta with goat cheese (yes, more goat cheese!) Here's my plate!


Then, of course, dessert was the grand finale.  The Triple Layer Chocolate Cake and Seasonal Berry Crisp with Vanilla Ice Cream looked so good, so I had both!  

This was for sure the best CDA meeting I've been to!  Off to bed!  I have the 25th Annual Pediatric Nutrition Conference tomorrow that I'm very excited about!!
