Sunset, Then Shirataki Noodles

We had rain today, but with the temperature in the low 60s, it felt like a spring or fall rain at home.  As we were driving to the beach, we saw part of a rainbow in the cloudy sky.  I wasn't able to take a picture of it until we drove out onto the beach.

Waiting for the sun to set and enjoying the effect of the mist along the beach.

After we got back to the motorhome after watching the sunset, I tried out a new recipe that I found on http://skinnytaste.com/ for baked chicken parmesan.  I didn't take pictures of the final product, but Dave and I both deemed the recipe to be a success.  The SkinnyTaste web site contains excellent pictures of the whole process. 

For the first time ever, I made Shirataki noodles.  I looked for some the other day but couldn't find any.  Today I went to Ralph's "Pretty Good Grocery" (Garrison Keillor fans will get the reference).  I just happened to see the Tofu Shirataki at Ralph's, so I decided to try it with the parmesan chicken.  Yum!  The soy-based product contained only 40 calories for two servings, both of which I ate!  Once I put a bit of salt and pepper on them, the fake spaghetti noodles tasted great.  They contained no cholesterol, no sugar, were gluten-free, vegan, only 6 carbs, and 4 grams of fiber.  As the package said, they were "guilt-free".  The two serving package cost $1.99, so they weren't cheap, like most good-for-you foods.
