Welcome back Low Carbies Blog!

I was just thinking it was time to resurrect the old low-carb blog! Low and behold, there is a blog from my sis indicating the same thing. I have to say that my commitment has also been low and I don’t have a baby to blame it on. . . In May I got so over-whelmed with school and work that I put my scale in the garage and decided I could not focus on that for a while. Just like Misty said, big mistake! I got the scale out a few weeks ago and was shocked! Shocked! How could this happen!!! I have reintroduced some high-carb foods into my diets, but I don’t think I have gone “crazy” with it. Indulging is ok, once and a while! But, obviously I took that to the extreme. I am up 25 pounds! My clothes are tight, and its time to recommit to the program again. Sharing my recipes is one way to stay motivated. So here we go again!

I exchanged the bacon for turkey bacon and cooked it in a little canola oil before continuing on with the rest of the ingredients. My brussel sprouts may have been a bit larger then usual. It took 25 minutes to cook them until they were soft enough to eat.
