  • Pan-Fried Avocados

    Pan-Fried Avocados

    Where have you been all my life?!  I saw this recipe and knew I had to try pan-fried avocados ASAP. I love avocados and butter, so these were sure to be a hit. Oh my, they were delicious.

    The first half that I tried, I topped with seasoned ground beef, Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and green onion.

    The other half I ate straight out of the pan. It was amazing. I preferred the unadorned pan-fried avocado.

  • Finally Found Cream without Carrageenan

    Finally Found Cream without Carrageenan

    Yay! Picked it up at Natural Grocers.

    As soon as I read about carrageenan, I knew I wanted to eliminate it from our diet since we go through quite a bit of cream.

    Lunch with Family

    Brother-in-law and sister-in-law visited over the weekend and brought some gorgeous steaks and beautiful, large asparagus spears to cook on the grill.  I threw together some cole slaw, creamed spinach, and sautéed onions and mushrooms.

  • 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.

  • 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.
