More Atkins

Last night’s dinner was really good.  I was a little unsure of it.  I made baked meatballs and cauliflower.  The meatballs were a combo of pork and beef.  The recipe called for veal, but I just can’t justify it.  The cauliflower was a lot better than I thought it would be too.  I boiled it […]

Atkins Day 3

I am halfway through day 3 of Atkins.  So far I am loving it.  I am not missing the carbs much (well, minus the dream about a homemade cherry pie last night and other sweets).  I am really loving the veggies and new recipes.  The recipes I’ve been trying have been right up my alley.  […]

Things Learned

Things I have learned today: Be careful of how long to cook hamburger soup in the crock pot.  It tasted a bit overdone tonight. Pioneer Woman’s buttered rosemary rolls are good… except I did salt and garlic instead of rosemary and salt. Even if I think the meal is a hit in my opinion, there […]

Weekend Recap

This weekend has been a bit trying for me. It all started Friday morning really. It was my last morning coffee with the girls from church. Warren still wasn’t feeling 100% so he stayed close by. I was home by 10 since we had a repair man coming for the dryer. It was making a […]

Family Dinners

Growing up dinner time (we called it supper) was a great time for our family. It was about us all coming together at the end of the day and sharing about our day. It was also a safe zone. We could openly discuss pretty much anything and feel safe about it. We were hardly disciplined […]
