| I made this Pizza Casserole that uses rice cauliflower for the crust, Kevin grilled bacon wrapped doves. Other things on the menu this week were roasted radishes that compare to tators & pepperoni chips since there was leftover pepperoni from the casserole. |
* I discovered carbquick that is comparable to bisquick for making biscuits & pancakes. I watched a video of 10 low carb freezer meals & got the recipes to try. Kevin discovered diet Pepsi with 0 sugar 0 carbs. He is on the fence if he can tolerate the difference in the taste from a regular Pepsi. I got him some peach protein drinks, so I'll see if that helps with having a drink other than just water.

| The youngest Grand had his 4 months old photo shoot. Daughter says he is super smiley super often. 2 of the middle Grands made the middle school basketball team. |
* We had our Lions Club potluck Christmas dinner. One Member & Wife wasn't able to make it, but it was decided to go ahead & have the dinner anyways. I think Kevin & I did good with our eating of more protein for the past week & less sugar & carbs. We both ate tators, pie & cake at the dinner. It gave Kevin an idea of how eating sugars & starches raise his sugar level. I was surprised the monitor showed only 10 points higher the next morning verses 100, so that was good to see.
 |
| I took my poinsettia for decoration to the dinner because after all, it was a Christmas dinner. The plant is still looking pretty good, a few leaves have fell off. I've still been watering it with melted snow. |
 |
| I made deviled eggs for the Christmas dinner & a jug of lemonade, Kevin cooked tators that were gown in our garden. |
Drinking more water is really important especially as we get older! We are working on more water too! Hope you have a good week!
ReplyDeleteI hope your husband feels better soon. A change in diet and meal planning is not easy but you've got this. Thank you for your weekend coffee share.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry your husband is still feeling a bit weak. I can appreciate how hard a change in diet must be. I started a healthier diet about a year ago and it was hard and that's just the everything in moderation and minding my fat/sugar intake a little because I was significantly overweight type of healthier diet. I've never even tried going low-carb or anything. Your post also reminds me that drinking enough water is something I need to be mindful of too.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is your youngest grandchild!
ReplyDeleteHopefully your hubby is feeling stronger this week. I enjoyed your update! Oh, and I love your mug.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm a few weeks late... but it sound like you are doing well switching over to less carbs and sugar; not an easy switch I know but every little bit helps.
