Morning

I have been hiding LOL. Had my doctor's appt last Monday and things went really well. This is the first appt since I started the new Low Carb High Fat lifestyle. For the most part my blood work was good except I am borderline anemic which isn't good. He thinks I might have a small ulcer that is bleeding hence that is causing me to be anemic. See another dr on the 16 for that. But the best part is I have lost 50 pounds. That is the best part and most depressing part too. I thought, hoped that just losing some of the weight I would be able to move better and not be in so much pain, but hasn't happened yet. I am trying to not let it depress me but not working so good. I am pluggin' away still.

Had a few not so good recipes from Pinterest this week. First one is Cheeseburger Gnocchi. Now in my opinion when something is called Cheeseburger, it should taste similar to a cheeseburger. This didn't at all. This was a combination of Mexican meets Italian.  I didn't care for it at all, neither did my husband. 2 Stars

Recipe from Kevin & Amanda 

Here was another miss for me, Edna Mae Sour Cream Pancakes. My daughter liked them but I found them to be very bland. I think with some tweekin' they could be good. I did make them low carb by substituting flour for almond flour and oat flour.  2 Stars

Recipe from Pioneer Woman that I got from The Noshery Blog 

Crawfish Dumpling Stew 

This was good but my dumplings didn't come out right. But the broth was outrageous. I think the next time I make this I will use crab cause crawfish here are not that cheap and you have to get a lot of them.  3 Stars

I think it was more the cook than the recipe. LOL I will be trying this again thou. 

Recipe from Buttoni's Low Carb Recipes

Cheddar Ranch Chicken Burgers 

These were to die for. They were so good and even heated up the second day they were even more flavorful. I LOVED them and so did my husband. 5 Stars

Recipe from the Girl Who Ate Everything. 

Tonight for dinner I am making Louisiana Cajun Shrimp and Scallops Grilled. And I can't wait to try these. I am so excited my mouth is watering just typing this. These were really good, I loved them  5 Stars
