katlupe's Low Carb Eating Plan

When I was married to my son's father, we ate out in restaurants several times a week. He is an accountant and several of his clients were restaurant owners. So they kind of bartered services. When I bought groceries, I could afford to buy whatever I wanted. What did I buy? Ice cream, cookies, sugary cereals, lots of soda and candy. My then husband would take us out to eat and then we'd stop at the store on the way home and we'd pile the cart up with all kinds of goodies to eat while we watched ...

The day before yesterday, my husband said the words I have been wanting to hear from him, "I want to start eating the way you do. The low carb diet. I just don't feel very good and see how it helps you."

My Personal Life

Lately, I have been tired of cooking food. I have always cooked from scratch so low carbing wasn't that far off from my regular way of cooking. Maybe I am becoming burned out on it.....cooking from scratch, not low carbing. Though, if I glance at processed foods in the freezer section of the grocery store.......they do not look that appetizing to me. So what to do?

Well last night I took two low carb books to bed with me. Time to scrounge up some "new to me" recipes that ...
