Not Always Easy
One of the hardest times for me to stay away from eating poorly is when I’m enjoying God’s Great Outdoors. Something about sitting around free from the city sounds, stress of work, and normal daily demands makes me want to munch. A lot. On easy food.
We decided to take a weekend getaway for the grown-ups (Thanks Mom!) and headed down the road. Along the way we stopped in the little town of Muenster, TX (Population 1,561). Muenster was founded by German settlers in 1889 and has done well keeping it’s small-town charm without turning into a ghost town. One of those reasons has to be the Fischer’s Meat Market founded in 1927. We stopped in to look and walked out with a small bag of goodies.
Pictured above are Pepper Cheddar cheese, Smoked Habanero Jack Cheese, Pastrami, and some delicious horseradish sauce. Not pictured are the equally tasty jalapeño stuffed green olives.
The pastrami and the Pepper Cheddar paired up nicely. Cooked in the skillet this stuff was great! The horseradish sauce only served to make it better.
It was fairly quick and was a great way to end the day without resorting to a bag of chips and loading up on carbs.

The Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe
really does work. I used swerve and no sugar added peanut butter. After I put the dough on the cookie sheet, I used a fork to make cross hatches to make them look more like peanut butter cookies.
The recipe can be found here.

Surf ‘n’ Turf for Dinner
Yum.
I wanted to make something delicious for dinner tonight. Have I told you a couple of years ago I couldn’t stand mushrooms? Well it’s true. Today? I love them. These garlic and herb mushrooms were based on a recipe I found on recipe.com except I didn’t measure anything and made them with portabella mushrooms.
They go especially well with shrimp scampi, an eight ounce rib eye steak, and some asparagus.
Who says eating low-carb and healthy can’t be delicious?

I don’t know but if you find them, tell them they are wrong!
I would add that it was a very nice dinner and can be made for under thirty (30) dollars. That is not exactly cheap. However, it is less than the cost of its equal dining out. There were leftovers to boot. Not only that, dining out brings uncertainty regarding what is in your food and you miss out on the time together in the kitchen.
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for God’s glory.

Gobble It Up!
Yet another salad with turkey on it. I took the time (not much) to make some Italian dressing to put on dinner. Some time back we found this neat little bottle that has several salad dressing recipes on the side. Excellent idea! It’s much like one of these.
Keeping healthy options on hand and ready is essential. The deli-sliced turkey in this salad has been used for several meals because it is just that. This salad with turkey, tomato, bell pepper, guacamole, and provolone was quick, delicious, and nutritious.
Stock your pantry and fridge with items that are versatile and readily prepared to eat. This thing is on a 14″ plate and has only ten (10) net carbs. Yum.

“Scotch” Eggs
A “Scotch” egg.
It seems a true scotch egg is breaded and deep fried. These aren’t and fit great into a low carb diet. I took three boiled eggs and wrapped them in ground pork sausage.
Rather than deep frying them, I popped them into a muffin pan. They were cooked in a preheated oven at 375° for fifteen minutes. I popped them out and turned them over into different cups and cooked them another ten minutes.
These treats were exceptionally low in carbs, loaded with protein, and tasted great. The origin of these is credited to farmers and shepherds who needed something they could toss in a bag and take with them for a long day of work. I’m fairly certain that they’d keep for several days in the refrigerator if made ahead of time.

green onion, avocado, onion, limes, lemon, mushrooms, garlic, and green beans
eggs and fresh mozzarella
all beef franks, roast, steaks (on sale), and frozen chicken breasts

On This Cold Winter Day….
I have an easy roast going in the crock pot for some warm comfort style food. Easy roast is placing a bed of chopped onion in the bottom of the crockpot, placing the roast on the onions, and then salt and pepper. I cook it on high for an hour or two and then turn it down to low to cook all day.
Then to add some brightness and fresh herbs to the day, I will marinate some fresh mozzarella balls. Plus, one of the kids asked very nicely at the store yesterday for fresh mozzarella to marinate.
