Happy Birthday Week to me!

Didn't we just have a holiday! Gee z! Cut me some slack!

Straight from 4th or July and HELLO! A birthday pops up!

I bought and Eliptical Machine. I have been riding it some trying to build up to a respectable amount of time.

It is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

 But I am lasting longer than when I first bought it a few weeks ago!

I know you all want some new recipe ideas! I am eager to share some new ones with you.

I have shared a link here to  healthy snack ideas:

Thanks for visiting my blog! I hope you all enjoy my post! Look for a new  post soon!
Thanks AGAIN!!!!
Happy LOW CARBING!!!

I guess I should start by saying I am sorry I haven't posted in a while.

I had been sick and then it just.. killed my motivation.

Sad to say but it's true. I have been drained!

I have got to  force myself to be focused once more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life gets in the way A LOT!
Spouses too..Sometimes! LOL! Especially the ones that don't have to worry about their weight!
I have really and truly been really really--way off course!
But the good part is that I can pick up and start again.
Summer leaves me feeling hot tired and useless. Even with the fun outings and things we seem to be on the go go go.. Hey did I say GO! Which leaves no time for what I really should be doing as far as healthy low carb eating. It's so easy to grab a burger a BLT or sandwich of any kind in the Summer.
Oh and lets not forget the chips and cakes and pie....
I am sure most of you understand what I mean.

I hope you enjoy this post since it has been a long while since I last posted.
ENJOY!

Whew! Easter is gone and so is all the temptations! 

Now lets get back to low carbing! I want to really concentrate and be good!

I need to lose about 20 more pounds! I would like to lose more but for now I just want to stick with that!

Since Jan 24th I have lost about 15lbs. Not quiet as much as I had hoped for. 

But the scale is not stuck any more and it is not going in the wrong directions!!!

Which makes me Happy!!!

I do have a little left over jet lag from the holiday is seems. I had way too many carbs!
It's funny how I can tell I am in carb overload now.
Typically I feel as though I am in a Carb Coma...
Know what I mean????

h

Just had to get that off my chest!
Hope you guys are totally ready for this weeks recipes!

Here is something for those of you that are like me.. Allergic to eggs! :( Too bad I really love them.
It's just that my delicate system cant handle them at all hardly. I can bake with them but that's about it.
But this looks really good and I think my boys would love it and the hubby too!
It's an Egg McEffuin (no muffin) the egg is the bread! How smart is that.
Add cheese please or substitute bacon or ham! Yum YUM!

It looks good. It also looks like it would be a quick dinner when you are in a hurry.
Link to the recipe here: http://veryculinary.com/2014/03/11/kielbasa-and-cabbage-skillet/


I found this recipe for Crispy Green Bean Fries. It looks really good.

This looked like a good idea for a take along dish for a cookout.
Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole. I am always looking for different side dishes to take to cookouts.
We seem to always have the same thing available. Things I cant have... potatoes, chips, breads, cookies, carbs and more carbs. That is why I always love looking for new recipe ideas. And its why I love sharing!

You can link to the recipe here: 

http://www.scrappingenius.blogspot.com/2011/12/mmmmm-meat-candy.html

Or maybe I will because my family believes that no holiday is truly a holiday with out 10lbs of potato salad that we dont need....LOL! Has anyone ever tried to make just a little potato salad? Not if you are related to my family. This is a recipe for Cauliflower (No-Potato) Salad.

Link to the recipe here: http://kitchen-parade-veggieventure.blogspot.ca/2011/06/cauliflower-potato-salad-low-carb-low.html

Happy Low Carbing till next Time!

     I am doing my best to keep up with new interesting recipe post for you. I hope that you are enjoying them. I hope that your low carb journey is going well. I started this journey back again in late January. It was around the 24th. That would be 01/24/14. Because at work I signed up for the Scale Back Alabama contest at work. I joined a team of 4 other ladies. The commitment requires each individual on the team to lose at least 10lbs. In the time frame of 1/24/14 to 4/10/14. Well to date I have lost 14lbs! Yep I will take it!
Back to my recipe post for this week --Please enjoy!

Since my husband has been on a Pancake kick lately... I thought I would post this.. It's pancakes yest make with ground almonds instead of flour. I think you can get almond flour at Walmart if you dont want to grind them up yourself. But nothing taste better than some yummy pancakes you could make it thinner for crepe's for a dessert to I suppose. with some strawberries and cream cheese filling. Yummy! now I'm Hungry!

For some reason this looked very yummy and just jumped off the page at me. Of course it's chicken! What else would it be! Yes! my post have to be packed with chicken ideas.
I love my chicken! Its called  Caprese-Chicken.
Here is the link to it: https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1943242085444885010#editor/target=post;postID=7822022078328058768;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=0;src=postname




I found this it looked like something yummy to make and keep in the fridge to go along with other things. You might also want to keep it in the fridge to grab a bite of if you are hungry and
need a quick bite of something till you can eat a meal.
I might have to make some of this tonight reading the recipe made me want to make it now.
It is called Jerusalem Salad:

It's called Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad.
Here is the link to it: http://lecremedelacrumb.com/2014/02/strawberry-poppyseed-bacon-chopped-salad.html


 I found this to be very interesting. I haven't tried it yet. I am going to try it though.
Especially since I cant have noodles while doing the low carb thing. Well I try to stay away from the pasta as much as I can. This seemed yummy and interesting and to be a great idea.
You buy this slaw and cook it for about 5 minutes or until tender and use it for your noodle replacement.
The shared a recipe for Turkey spaghetti I believe.
I have shared the link here: http://www.fitsugar.com/Hungry-Girl-Broccoli-Slaw-Recipe-18503426


Don't forget another noodle/pasta replacement is spaghetti squash!
It is quiet yummy indeed!

Here's an idea for a sided dish that is not just the same old boring thing.
It looks so good.

I am just going to add a couple interesting facts for you at the bottom here. I found this cute photo that was shared on pinterest. It shows foods that cleanse the liver. Who doesn't need to know that. I mean our poor liver and the things it has probably had to suffer threw over the years. You know all the junk we push threw our bodies everyday.
Here is the link to it: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/234046511859624702/



Okay so I have been on this camping thing lately. I mean I really like the indoor comfort of my home. Don't get me wrong. But for some reason camping lately is looking really appealing to me. As long as we can keep the snakes and mosquito's away...
But I saw this and thought Iron skillet over a campfire..perfect dinner and Low Carb! YES!
