I believe I have warned everyone that sometimes I eat strange food combinations :)
Just eating what I like right now and it seems to be working, for me anyway. I don't restrict carbs and that is the reason that I am losing slowly; but I feel great with this kind of food. I have done low carb, but this is the way for me. All bodies are different.
Today's menu:
Air fried butternut squash fries
cottage cheese
sf butterscotch pudding
yogurt
blueberries
So excited - down another pound this morning. Pretty slow, but am enjoying what I eat. Total of 8 pounds since 9/6.
Been so busy the past few days, that I haven't gotten my menu's posted. Here is yesterday's:
Homemade egg drop soup
cottage cheese
6 saltines
yogurt
SF butterscotch pudding
Hope for another successful day.
Today's menu: shrimp and veggies in a homemade sauce
Pickles, olives
Blueberries with yogurt
Just not hungry today so I am doing very low carb today. I don't get as hungry when I cut some of the carbs. I have done this many times before and it really helps me.
Menu:
Hamburger
2 strips bacon
2 eggs
Fried chicken thighs with homemade sauce
Salad with homemade ranch dressing
I only ate 1 of the chicken thighs as this meal was really filling.
I have been gone most of the day and not very hungry when I came home, so had an air fryer beef pattie with cheese.
As I live in a rural area, it takes a while to get to the major stores. I had to go get me another camera for downloading my project pictures for my Etsy Shop. My old one has served me well, but quit yesterday. I had been using it several years, so guess it was time.
Sausage gravy on flour tortilla
Salad
Homemade SF peach cobbler
The recipe for the gravy is from one of Joanna Lund's cookbooks. It is for Hamburger Milk Gravy on Pg 214 of the Health Exchanges Cookbook. I have most of her cookbooks and use them quite often.
I did make some substitutions - I used sausage instead of ground beef and I only had reduced fat cream cheese. Still yummy.
8 oz ground turkey or beef
2 C skimmed milk
3 T flour
1/2 C ff cream cheese
1/2 C frozen peas
2 T chop pimiento
1 t dried parsley flakes31/4 t black pepper
2 English muffins, split & toasted (I didn't have those so used a flour tortilla.
I combined all and cooked until thickened. Place on the muffins.

Here is today's meal: Shrimp with veggies and pepper
I am not weighing very often because I am the type of person that the scales do a number on me if I show a gain. Best just to stay on track and enjoy.
I also sell on Ebay shabbyvintagelady if you would like to take a look.
