Guess What??????!!!!!!! My neighbor is a district manager for The Olive Garden here in Ohio and he told me tonight that in May 2004 they are going to be releasing a new "low Carb Fare."

According to him, the menu will include the following LOW CARB items, all will be offered with or made with a low carb pasta, they will also have a version without pasta. Carb counts range from 5 - 18 and include 1 cup of soup, 1 breadstick and entree for the total carbs advertised:

Lasagna
Chicken or Veal Parmasean
Pasta Alfredo
Ravioli
Steak w/cream sauce and side of fettucini alfredo
2 different soups (I cannot remember what he called them)
Garlic Breadsticks

Several other items, I cannot remember them all but these stuck out in my mind. Probably because they are my favorites. Olive Garden, here I come!
