Let's start with a random tidbit!  My parents were *THIS* close to naming me Primavera.  Instead she chose Tamara (Layla is my youngest daughter).  Since that's what I thought about when I first saw this meal, you get to now think about it too!  So on to the real stuff.  This frozen dinner almost, kind of, sort of looks like the photo on the box.  More so than

Apologies for the "blurry" photo.  That's actually smoke coming off the grill.  I forgot to take a photo while plated and went straight to devouring these so this in-process grilling photo is the only one I have.  This was a great basic recipe from Kalyns Kitchen.  I wouldn't change a thing.  She recommends using tri-tip, london broil, top sirloin or top loin. &

Cheddar Baked Chicken This was definitely a family pleaser.  Everyone including the baby liked them (I made the kids portions into smaller pieces like chicken nuggets and cooked for less time).  You can't really go wrong with what is basically chicken nuggets with cheddar mixed in.  Yum!  If you don't have almond flour, I think that coconut flour or low carb bake

Lemon Caper Chicken This is a great simple recipe that tastes like something more complex.  I used to make this one back in my carb-etarian days but used white flour back then.  If you aren't familiar, capers are yummy little tang/vinegar fun balls.  Yup, I just wrote "fun balls" and I'm not going to change it.  If you don't have both almond and coconut flours, use whatever

Crockpot Tangy Pork Roast Great recipe.  I would say that this could be good enough for company, even carb-etarian company!  I've made this twice, once with 1/4 cup Splenda (subbing for the sugar called for in the ORIGINAL RECIPE) and the second time without any Splenda at all.  The entire family agreed that the sweetness was a bit odd with the rest of the flavors so I

Atkins Crustless Chicken Pot Pie click to enlarge My Super Walmart FINALLY put these little gems in the freezer section.  So let's start with the obvious.  It does not look like the photo.  That's pretty normal for frozen meals so it wasn't much of a shock.  They are 5 net carbs for 9 ounces.  That's fairly large for a frozen meal, most of the low calories frozen

Caribbean Baked Fish Oh my this was good!  I will certainly be making this one again.  I also can't wait to try it with chicken.  Yum!    This was super easy to make and had lots of flavor.  You just mix the ingredients together for the sauce and pour it over the fish.  Ta-da! 5 STARS 2 servings 4.3 net carbs per serving juice of 1 lime 1/2 cup coconut

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake So good and so easy!  I've had one of these every day for the last week or so.  I almost never do that as I'm pretty adventurous with food and love to try different things.  The taste will vary and the carb count will vary depending on your brand of chocolate protein powder.  Just try to find the lowest carb one you can.  I buy

Green Enchilada Casserole Oh, oh, oh this was good!  My entire carb-etarian family enjoyed this one, including the toddlers.  Casseroles are great comfort food on a cold day and an easy way to use leftover chicken or any other meat from a previous meal.  I made with leftover turkey from an early Christmas I did with out of town family.  However, I'm writing the recipe using

Peanut Butter Coconut Cookies Ahhhh...peanut butter cookies.  I love that peanut butter is a yes on the low carb list of goodies!  I wish I could take credit for these lovely cookies, but I pulled the recipe from Your Lighter Side who said she got them from Candice.  All of my kids and my Hubs enjoyed these, without them being wise that they were anything different

Top 10 Low Carb Recipes for 2012 I started my little blog in February 2012, figuring it would be a way to force me to stay on plan since I'd be publicly writing about it.  It has kept me on plan, but it has also turned into something that has made me quite proud of myself and all of you that read it.  You have no idea how much your comments and compliments mean to me and

Sugar Free Jello with Whipped Whipping Cream Oops, I didn't realize that I left you all hanging by not pushing the Publish button before I took a break for the December madness.  Here is the VERY late 5th day of my fat fast. Day 5!  I did it!  I did it!  Today was actually fairly easy just because I was running in circles all day so I never really had time to think about

BACON! Ahhh day 4.  I got on the scale this morning and lost .7 pounds from yesterday.  That puts me at 3.3 pounds lost so far during the fat fast.  Today went a bit wonky for me.  I stuck with the fat fast but I didn't eat the items I had intended.  Below I posted the menu I intended to eat as well as what I actually ate.  I made the mac and cheese recipe below

Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Day 3 of the fat fast!  I woke up this morning and had lost 1.7 pounds since yesterday.  That makes my loss so far at 2.6 pounds after 2 days of eating this way.  Woo!  I don't feel hungry but I do feel like I need to stay extra busy as all day long I think "food, food, food".  It's not physical hunger but mentally I want to eat more/

Boursin Mushrooms Day 2 of the fat fast!  I've lost .9 pounds so far.  Just shy of 1 pound in 1 day!  Food did consume my thoughts today though.  I was having some difficulties during the afternoon.  I held it together though by having a glass of plain unsweetened tea.  It wasn't like real food but I was able to stall myself enough until it was time to eat again.

Photo courtesy of macadamianutoil.org Ahhh the fat fast.  I've heard quite a bit about it throughout the low carb world.  This short 3-5 day meal plan is supposed to jump start weight loss, throw you off of a plateau and put you into deep ketosis.  When I first heard about it, I had heard that you pretty much eat macadamia nuts and plain cream cheese all

My apologies to everyone as today I had to implement a comment verification that will make you have to type in one of those annoying word verification boxes before you can post a comment.  I tried to let it be open and easy for as long as possible but the spammers have gotten to a point that I'm getting approximately 50 spam comments a day and it's getting taxing to have to clean up so much

Pumpkin Pancakes Oh these were good!  The batter made two large pancakes that were extremely filling.  I wasn't hungry for lunch after having these for breakfast.  Feel free to pour a little sugar free pancake syrup over them but I didn't think it was needed.  I just added a pat of butter to the top and thought they were great! *INDUCTION FRIENDLY* 5 STARS 1 serving 6.25

Lemon Coconut One Minute Cake Oh how I love thee, One Minute Cake.  I'm not very good at planning my meals ahead (I know, I know, shame on me).  Sometimes I stand in the pantry, staring at all the junk food in there for my family of carb-etarians.  The junk whispers "eat me, I'm so good" or "one Oreo won't hurt".  (exactly the reasons why you should have a game plan and

Sauteed Mushrooms I LOVE mushrooms.  However, my family doesn't so I don't make them very often.  Tonight I made them a carb-y side dish and made some yummy sauteed mushrooms just for myself.  They were easy to prepare and were very flavorful.  I think I ate more than one serving.  Shhhh.....don't tell.  I think I need to make them more often! 5 STARS 4 servings
