  • What to Call It?

    For quite a while when people asked us what diet we were on, it was answered with a few ums and a mix of diet names. We did low carb but real food, so a little Atkins and a little Paleo/Primal. But that still felt not completely accurate, and one day Derek came up with the name Ingredient Diet.  We mostly avoid anything with a list of ingredients, while buying the ingredients to make the food ourselves.

    Then one day I came across LCHF, and thought, “This is it! This is the diet that I follow.”

    So we basically eat the same as each other with a few variations (like he eats sweet and purple potatoes and freshly ground whole wheat).

    Is it easy? Not always.

    Is it worth it? Yes.

  • Madeovers for Lunch

    Madeovers for Lunch

    The kids were having homemade pizza for lunch, and I was having difficulty resisting.  I did not want to give in so I grabbed a leftover burger, added tomato basil sauce, topped with some of the leftover sautéed onion mushroom mix, mozzarella, and provolone.  There was a lot of pizza flavor without all the carbs. I happily resisted the pizza.

    Quick Snack

    I don’t usually fall for the cash register temptations. One day I was in the middle of running errands, and my hunger and the register traps collided. I’m glad they did, because these are great.

  • Whole Wheat Waffles

    I made these waffles I found at 100daysofrealfood.com. I changed ‘em up a little and had to share because they were so easy. The boy, notoriously picky, grudgingly said, “I’ll take a taste.” His taste made him literally yell “Holy Moly!” It also turned into asking for more three waffles later.

    This batter was exceptionally quick to make in the Vitamix by just tossing all the ingredients together, including the whole wheat berries, and turning it on for about ninety seconds.

  • Friday Weighday

    After only four days back eating LCHF, I’m happy to be at my prior-to-moving weight.

    Even after all these years, it still cracks me up to lose weight on a diet that includes bacon and cream cheese.

  • Our Favorite Date

    We love to cook together and make dates out of doing so. We are still moving house, and I thought we should take some time to have a good dinner together because it has been a while since we sat down to a proper home cooked meal.  I’m hoping I can find the right pans and gear for what’s planned!  Fortunately, with it being Valentine’s Day, there were a few good deals at the grocery store.

    On the Menu

    Steak & Mushrooms

    Salad

    Roasted Asparagus

    Raspberry Sweeties made with dark chocolate chips

  • Did Not Plan Well

    Our preferred WOE (way of eating) went out the window because I did not plan for the busyness or the emotions of moving house.  The worst was an incident with a box of doughnuts and cinnamon rolls. Ack!  And before things continue down a path I don’t want to go down, I’m rebooting with an induction phase type diet for a few days.

    B- bacon

    L- steamed in bag Brussels sprouts browned in butter in a skillet topped with parmesan

    snack- raw almonds, cream cheese

    D- chili with cheese, dark chocolate
