oyster loaf

You possibly will not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes oyster loaf but it is possible. It is pivotal to not eat oyster loaf or other high calorie seafood every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself these kinds of food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 2000 calories per day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I want – within reason of course.

I have been using this method for the last 6 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have simply been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

On my one non diet day per week, I like to eat cajun food. I never thought I could lose 5 kilos while eating cajun meals but am very elated to see it can happen. If you would like to try some cajun food, I advise you make oyster loaf which is one of my best loved cajun recipes.

Oyster Loaf (La Mediatrice)

This was popular throughout America in the 19th century. In the Vieux Carre of New Orleans it was known as "the mediator." It was the one thing a man felt might effectively stand between his enraged wife and himself when he came home after spending an evening carousing in the saloons of the French Quarter. He would buy the oyster loaf for pennies, just before going home, in the French market.

Cut the tops off small French rolls and scoop out most of the center. Brush the cut side of the tops and the hollowed-out center with melted butter. Place both tops and rolls in a 425 degrees F oven until toasted to a very light brown

Meanwhile, saut? the oysters in hot butter until they plump up and the edges curl. Add salt, pepper, 2 or 3 drops Tabasco? sauce and a little hot cream, if desired. Fill the hot rolls and cover with crusty tops. Use about 3 oysters to one roll.

Serve hot.

You can change the recipe to make it quite a bit healthier or with fewer calories as this can assist you to lose 5 kilos easily. It did work for me and could assist you to lose weight too.
