Hi Katlupe
Love ur pics! Imagine how GREEN it looks to me in New Mexico, even though we've had a wet summer, and it is very pretty and green here, the desert is so different. Can you please tell me what an OMM is, I now know that you can make one on top of a woodstove, That would have been good to know when it was my only heat source, but now I live in Electricville-- don't much care for it either. Hard to switch from cooking on wood/and or gas to electric stove.
Hey love your website. Sorry to say I put new strings on 3 six strings, 2 12's and a bass recently. I will try to try yours next. My dh is a man of strong opinions and right now he won't buy anything but elixers. Rest of the band of course have their own strong opinions. Will pass your site on to our banjo picker too, cuz last rehersal he DEFINITELY needed new strings lol. how are you? Want to hear more about your wonderful life. Susy
Hey Katlupe, I hope picklemaking day was wonderful!!! I am so happy for you that you could spend the day with your Daddy and mama. Did he reveal he secret recipe??? I bet its delicious!!! You said sales were down-- what do you sell? I am a kinder teacher, and right now I have a little too much job security-- my class was supposed to be at 28 students!~ but im down to 24. Our business is still struggling along. Dh builds sells and repairs computers. He works night and day but we're at that spot where we need money to grow. Can't go forward or backward it seems. As you said the Good LORD (and HE is GOOD!!!!_) has alwayse taken care of our every need. You said you are homesteading? Has everyone in the area had bad crops? I buy at farmers market. Take care, and God Bless you.
Hi Kat. Im so excited, just had to share it with somebody! Yesterday was the worst day i've had since i got back to locarbing: bad fibroflareup, PMS bigtime, and depressed. I survived without cheating and actually lost wt. Back to happy!!

How are you doing? Your posts are still my fave.

Hey Kat! I'm down 40 lbs. Survived my first really bad day with a fibro flare and depression since I started back to low carb and actually lost weight. Just had to tell somebody!!! Hope you are well. Oonagh
Hey Katlupe, I love your posts. You are very encourging. I always read them when I see your name. Wanna be my friend? I'm a newbie here. By the way, what is fitlog annd how do i find it? Thanks and keep up the great locarbin lifestyle/
Today I spent some time with my friend who has just moved four miles away. We have always shopped together, gone out for lunch, etc. I didn't realize it would matter to her so much that I follow a low carb food plan. Everything she mentioned I'd say I couldn't eat it. I was looking for Bob's almond meal flour at the Health food store and she said "what about whole wheat flour? You won't eat that?" I told her no and she looked bummed out. Baking bread is what people who are into homesteading...
Fall is here in upstate New York and I look around and wonder where did our summer go? I think people do that with their lives every day. They keep saying I will do this when I have more money. I will do this when I get married. I will do this when I have children. I will do this when I am older, when I am thinner, when I am _________ whatever.
I know I am guilty of this myself. You cannot put things off that you want to do because you just might never do them. I make goal lists...
Having access to all the recipe websites such as recipezaar, allrecipes and cdkitchen, etc, just to name a few and that is not listing all the lowcarb sites and blogs where there is a wealth of recipes, it is not difficult at all to find whatever recipe you need. I go to the recipe sites and put "low carb" into their search box and usually get pages. Sometimes I find recipes that are not really low carb but can make the changes to them to make them acceptable to me.
It is so hard for me to keep my mouth shut when I see or hear people discussing low fat foods. Like for instance on facebook right now, there has been an on going discussion regarding low fat cream of chicken soup. I mentioned to a FB friend that I make my own mixes because if you take a look at the ingredient label of Campbell's cream of chicken soup you'd be wondering what EXACTLY was in there! As a modern homesteader, I have made my own mixes for years now. But have changed even that since going...
One of the hardest things for most people when switching to low carbs is the no bread thing. I mean, how can you eat a sandwich with no bread? What can you eat with your eggs in the morning? What about peanut butter? You can eat that! But without bread! Anyone care for peanut butter on a spoon? Well, to be honest, I have eaten it that way myself. Not bad.
The One Minute Muffin or better known as OMM comes to the rescue. I eat it with my eggs all the time. I cut it in half...
