I’ll be honest, I did not make the healthiest food choices this holiday season, and I’m not even sorry. Making holiday treats is one of my favorite family traditions, but it’s no fun if you don’t get to indulge a little. I decided to enjoy our traditions and not feel guilty about it. So we made cookies and candies and enjoyed all our favorite holiday meals, complete with loads of carbohydrates. Yes, I have gained a few pounds back, but now that the holiday goodies are gone, I have the tools and know how to lose them again. I have enjoyed...
Summer is over and fall is quickly moving in. I’m usually a little sad to see summer go, but for the first time ever, I’m ready for fall. It has been one long, busy and fun-filled summer, but now it’s time to relax, put on a warm sweater and some fuzzy boots and pumpkin spice everything! I’m not your typical pumpkin spice fan girl, but I enjoy a slice of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, and it’s one of my husband’s favorites, so I set out to find a good low carb recipe. This pumpkin cheesecake mousse does the trick, and if you put it on a low carb...
Independence Day, my favorite summer holiday. Friends, fireworks, water fights, cornhole, and of course a barbeque. For me, good food is a must for a good celebration. This year, and for the past several years, we will be celebrating with friends. It's always a great time, and the food is always amazing. I'm sure I'll eat too much and I'll probably even "cheat" a little (who can say no to a red, white and blue Rice Krispy treat? Not this girl). To save myself from having too many delicious...
Pizza, an American staple. Birthday parties, sporting events, Friday nights...there's always an occasion for pizza. My husband used to say he could eat pizza every day forever; if I hadn't planned dinner, pizza was always our go to. Since we started this diet, our freezer is no longer filled with Tombstones that we stocked up on whenever there was a sale. I have found a few delicious alternatives. My favorite recipe is with "Fathead dough." Not the lowest carb option, but it is the most similar...
Not everyone is on a ketogenic diet and sometimes that can make eating out a little tricky. It's not too bad at most restaurants, but some places don't have many low carb options. The real problem is when going to benefits and fundraisers where the menu might not always suit your diet. For Valentine's Day I purchased tickets to a prime rib dinner hosted by the Thompson Falls High School Select Choir. Prime rib is certainly low carb, but mashed potatoes and dinner rolls are not. In most cases you...
by Sara Czerwinski I'm just here for the snacks. As a not-so-diehard football fan, the Super Bowl is usually the only game I watch each year. It comes with a party and everyone brings their favorite snacks to share. I love party food, but it's not exactly "carb friendly" most of the time. Some of our favorite low carb party treats include bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers, chicken wings and, of course, the go to meat and cheese platter. But what about some of those snacks that aren't so low carb? I...
by Sara Czerwinski It's the new year, the time when most people pledge to eat healthier, my family included. I would like to share our journey here and maybe that will be enough motivation to keep us going. I am the world's worst meal planner; we're lucky if I give dinner a second thought before my husband starts to get a little hangry. At this point I wander into the kitchen, check all the cupboards, the fridge and the freezer, several times over, looking for inspiration to avoid our back-up...
