Got a tornado in the next town over right now. Prayers appreciated.
I used to make this recipe of sharp cheddar cheese, whole flax seed and a bit of flour (although in this case, you can use the flax seed meal to make a kind of dough, then roll into balls, flatten and bake into cheese crisps. Shouldnt that fit into the Atkins diet??? Anyway, I love em and they make for a good snackidoo...I dont follow a strict Atkins diet, but have been making an effort to curb my carbs. I used to eat quite healthy until I got married, and the hubby wanted chicken friend steak and mashed potatos and pasta all the time. And I have had to put my foot down about the Cokes. I can skip the chocolate, maybe the candy, but Cokes are a real bane of my existence, especially since I cant stand just plain water. I have to have some flavoring.
That sounds good...got a recipe?
Would work for South Beachers, too, since baking cheese tends to get rid of a lot of the fat, or could use lowfat cheese.
Mmmm...cheese!
As for water...the town water here tastes funny to me, especially since I grew up with nice well water. I manage to drink it, but sometimes add a little lemon juice. That works for me...
OK!
maybe?????? Am not sure...I only put enough flour in to get the consistency, so I did really keep tabs on what the measurement was. I like a lot of flax seeds, so I indulged in that too.
And if you sprinkle little patties with a slight dash of your favorite chili powder they make a nice zesty counter part to sweet stuff.
They stick together with just the cheese and the flax / flour? That's what I wasn't sure of.
gotta dash for now...am not having a good week.
Do you care about artificial sweeteners? If you don't, Diet Dr Pepper is the one diet drink that doesn't taste diet. I love that stuff!
I bought a low-carb pie crust mix. I'm not sure it'll be good, but I think I can make quiche, and maybe some snacks, with it.
Thank you! :) Wind seems to have died down a bit over the past 15 minutes. The weather can change on a drop of the hat here because the area is on a narrow peninsula between Lake Michigan and Green Bay and there are weird wind patterns. A few minutes ago it looked like it was sure to storm, now it's sunny again. Guess those prayers work! :)
That recipe does sound good!
Sorry to hear you're not having a good week. Hope it gets better soon!
And that is:
a greeting;
an observation of current conditions on my x, y, z, and t coordinates;
and an expressed desire for each of your x, y, z, and t+n points.
Does that leave you stuned?
"but Cokes are a real bane of my existence, especially since I cant stand just plain water. I have to have some flavoring."
I used to drink two cans of Mountain Dew every day at work to keep from falling asleep :) Over the past few years I've kind of turned to juice and tea as a substitute for soda (here we call "soda" what everyone else in the country seems to call "Cokes", LOL!). Also since I like 7-Up/Mountain Dew type of "un-Cola" soft drinks, as a substitute for that when my sweet tooth is acting up I will sometimes drink ginger ale instead.
Quiche sounds good (though I realize I'm setting myself up for comments by saying that :)
Help! I'm having dot and cross product flashbacks! :)
I will refrain from too specifically referencing a fun little book that came out in the '80's. I believe the book introduced us to an individual named "Ratchet Thunderstud."
You're not supposed to say that!
And I have no idea what book you could possibly be referring to :)
I will now cease to say "Nothing of the Dog."
I was gonna ask you about that...
I'd like to say something about the dog.
