I know I have been MIA for the last 4-6 weeks, but I hope to be here again everyday again. Work had taken over my every spare moment, but I think things are slowly but surely slowing down.
Earlier this week I started watching my carbs a little more closely. Last night I actually woke up at 1 am hungry enough that I could not go back to sleep. I must have cut back too much yesterday. I don't usually get up to eat once I go to bed, but I just could not go back to sleep. I finally got up and drank a RTD atkins drink and then slept like a log until my husband woke me for the day.
Today's eats included:
coffee
protein bar
decaf coffee
steak strips w/mustard
cinnamon almonds
protein bar
meat sauce over adkins penne pasta
decaf w/creamer and splenda
lots of water
greek yogurt w/protein powder and low carb granola
Hope you all had a GREAT day!

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
The thought came to me in a discussion that included enjoying the occaisional cold brew. Lower carb, lower calorie beers. I know they exist but I ignore commercials so thoroughly that I don't know anything more.
Nutrition stats are searchable. I'm interested in what you think of these beers. Especially if you are/ were a beer drinker.
Has anyone tried it? How does it compare to the same label's regular and light products? Any info is more than I already know.

I've seen versions of the ketogenic mini meals before as well as done it. Nothing gets me the same swift jump start as others not even wls. However, it is a change that keeps boredom away and helps with staying focused.

2) And Lee's Revoloopsie Rolls (so you have something to put the fat on!):
I haven't made these in a very long time but I think I'll make them this weekend. I think Atkins called these Revolution Rolls.
CLEOCHATRA'S BEST EVER REVOL-OOPSIE ROLLS
3 large eggs
1 packet of Splenda
A dash of salt
A pinch of cream of tartar
3 ounces cream cheese (not Tbsp!) Do not soften!
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Separate the eggs and add Splenda, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture).
Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.
Bake for about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool.
Storage and freezing:
I store them in a Ziplock bag with the bag open partially (this way they breathe and don't get too moist) and keep them in the fridge after the first day. Then, when you want to use them, take them out and set them on the counter for 15-30 minutes or until they are room temperature. This makes them more "dry" and less sticky.
As for freezing, I tried freezing and they do freeze. This time you want to close the Ziplock when storing (I only store two per bag). To thaw, let them rest on the counter until room temperature in the bag with the bag open. When they're close to room temperature, set them outside of the bag so that they can "dry" out slightly for use.

Peruvian-Style Roasted Chicken with Sweet Onions
Serves 6
This wonderfully aromatic chicken dish is short on prep and big on flavor. It's also a great dish to make ahead the day before and reheat -- it's even tastier after the flavors meld. Serve with rice and a green salad.
Ingredients
1 1/2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar ( I had red wine vinegar)
2 large sweet onions, peeled and thickly sliced
1 chicken, cut into 10 serving pieces* ( or use checken breast or other meat)
2 red or yellow bell peppers, cored, seeded and cut into chunks
1 lemon, sliced
Method
Preheat oven to 425°F. Oil a large roasting pan and set aside. In a small bowl, combine paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, garlic, vinegar and oil to make a paste. Place onions in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the paste. Rub chicken pieces with remaining paste and place in prepared pan, then cover with onions, peppers and lemon. Roast, basting occasionally with pan juices, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are very tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
* Note: If the chicken has been precut into eight pieces, simply cut each breast in half through the rib cage to ensure even cooking. Or, you can ask your butcher to cut a whole chicken into 10 pieces with breasts deboned.
