Raspberry Drop Scones

These by far are the easiest things to make and so delicious. 5 Stars for these.
Even my husband who isn't doing the High Fat/Low Carb lifestyle loved them.
I will admit they were a bit sweet for me, so next time I make them I will be reducing the sugar. And I didn't have any raspberries so I used blueberries, awesome .
Recipe is from The Dr. Oz show.
You have to make these cause they are great. Fast and easy too.

Best-Ever Sticky Asian Ribs 5 stars


These where awesome. My family and I love the Asian flavors and thou we have had our fair share to yuckie ones, these were great. My husband was in heaven, that is what he said about them. Koodles for me. The recipe is from Apple of My Eye Blog.  I made my low carb by substituting the sugar for a sugar substitute and the ketchup for low carb ketchup.

Chicken Parmesan Burgers 5 Stars

These were the most awesome burgers I have ever made. I am not the biggest fan of chicken parmesan but these I could eat again and again.
The recipe is from Recipe Runner.
Now to make low carb I omitted the bun for me. I did how ever keep the panko bread crumbs. 
Per 1/4 cup - Calories: 100kcal | Fat: 1.00g | Carbs: 20.00g | Protein: 3.00g
which makes 4 burgers so there is 5 carbs from the panko bread crumbs. 

I made my own marinara sauce which I have to say turned out awesome. I will update the post later with the recipe.  I left it in the kitchen.

Broiled Tilapia with Seafood Wine Sauce 5 Stars

This recipe is from Buttoni's Low Carb Recipe Blog. 
Now this is a Five star recipe. We loved this a lot. 
I didn't use crawfish cause here in Upstate, NY they are expensive and cleaning them to get what little bit of meat from them isn't worth the work. LOL 
I used just crab meat instead.  Even the next day this was so good reheated. Will be making this again. 

30 July 2015

Haven't felt much like posting lately. Been kind of depressed about my weight and everything else. Been really tired this week which doesn't help cause when I am over tired I am very emotional and could cry at the drop of a hat and I get upset so easily with anything LOL.
Meals haven't been too complicated cause it's been just too darn hot and humid here this week.

I decided I was going to try peanut flour cause I am still on that quest for the right English muffin for low carb. Let's just say I know why people don't use peanut flour for baking LMBO. The two things I made both came out rubbery and very very dry. GROSS.  So back to the drawing board and some day I will figure it out. One that toasts up great but doesn't taste gritty, that is my biggest problem. I don't like that gritty texture in my mouth.
This morning I tried a baking mix I found online. Basic Low Carb Flour Mix by Character Ink's blog. This was my second try with this mix. Yesterday I made a pumpkin chocolate muffin/cake and it was good, need way more spice for my liking but it was good. I like my pumpkin pie spicy. I got the recipe from Running with Spoons blog.  3 Stars

And them this morning I made Ginny's English muffin again, which seems to be my favorite to play around with.  You can get her recipe here on her blog 

The only dinner recipe I tried this week from Pinterest was this one. I made Cuban Mojo Pork Sandwiches. They were good but I was a bit disappointed with the flavor. I would have like more of the marinate flavors in the meat. The pork however was very juicy and tender.  3 Stars
The recipe is from Recipe Tin Eats. 


20 July 2015

I know it's been a while since I have posted been kind of lazy and kind of busy all at the same time. Also been in a mood too. Things haven't gone all that great with things.  My daughter has been away since last Thursday, she is spending a week with her Aunt in Rochester. Hopefully having a really great time. She loves going there. So just me and hubby and I have made some great meals where I only had to cook for us, half the time she won't eat what we are eating.

If you get a chance you have to have Korean BBQ, it is so good. Specially Bulgogi it is so so good. I cheated this week usually I make my own marinate but we had bought a jar of Korean BBQ sauce so I decided to use that and it was really good. Also cheated on my life style change cause we ordered Chinese's appetizers to go with the steak.

Friday night I made  Louisiana BBQ Shrimp, this was so good.  Really good my husband loved it. The recipe I used was by Wish Upon a Dish blog.
now doesn't that look divine. I boo booed with the recipe thought it said 1 1/2 TBSP of hot sauce but it was 1 1/2 tsp. But it wasn't too hot for me. I mean it had a kick to it, but I could stand it. You have to have a baguette to sop up the broth. It is delicious.

Saturday I decided to make my own pizzas Yes I have been very bad on my lifestyle change cause some of it has been being depressed. I am going to back to today, I have too cause my stomach bloated up really bad. 
My husband told me this morning that I made these best pizza he has ever had, now that is a compliment. I will agree it was the greatest pizza. I sued store bought pizza dough, and I buttered my cookie sheet before putting the dough on it. This made the crust nice and crispy, really good. I was so impressed. 
I found on Pinterst a low carb pizza sauce that is the bomb. I mean the bomb. 
I don't know where the recipe came from so I am sorry about that. And I was just able to find it the recipe is from Simply Scratch 
You simply have to make this sauce. 


I decided to make a fruit salad to go with the shrimp. I had my semi hot and spicy shrimp and my sweet, tasty fruit salad the best of both worlds. 
Rainbow Fruit Salad with Citrus-Honey Dressing and Fresh Mint by The Cozy Apron blog. This salad is so good, not too sweet just right but you do have to add the mint it makes the world of difference. We loved it. 



Yesterday we had BBQ chicken from the local volunteer fire department, its is the boom. I love it.

White Sauce Wings

Sunday we had an early dinner cause we decided to take Kimberly to the drive in and see Inside Out it was a really cute movie.
I have wanted to try white BBQ sauce and so that is what I made. I used a recipe from the grillin' fools. These were awesome. It makes a lot of white sauce so I split it in half to use half another time.
I didn't have any horseradish so I just left it out. But added everything else and I could have eat these all night long.  Made salt potatoes to go with it. Awesome dinner 4 Stars
