I haven't been keeping up with my daily food blogs, mostly because (1) I fell off the wagon a day or two while my sister was in town and (2) I've been repeating menus from the first two weeks so nothing too new. I think it's hard to eat out on this diet, I know a lot of people would disagree, but we ate at a mexican restaurant last weekend and since I love chips and tortillas, I felt very deprvied! Ha! But I actually didn't cheat there (except for that one single chip). But during the weekend I had some broccoli casserole (with rice), a few beers at the Kenny Chesney concert, and Sonic onion rings during the long weekend Em was here and I gained 2 pounds. Argh! Anyway, I got right back on the wagon this week and lost those two. So, total weight loss still = 12 pounds.
So on this diet I eat scrambled eggs about every day. And I like eggs, but get a little tired. So I found a low-carb pancake mix on http://www.netrition.com/. It is called Big Train Buttermilk Pancake and Waffle Mix, I believe. I also bought some no carb DaVinci syrup. The pancakes are still 7 net carbs for 1/4 c mix, but it was a nice treat. And, pretty good. The syrup was no Mrs. Butterworths, but it was ok. On a 'normal' day I wouldn't consume 7 carbs at breakfast (8 with my morning tea) but once a week I think I'll go for it. George and I were talking and decided we could probably do a brunch some morning and have these pancakes, bacon and eggs and we wouldn't be hungry again til dinner. Anyway, I'm posting a picture showing how 1/4 c pancake mix looks all prepared on my plate this morning.
I'll be back as I weigh myself and as I try new recipes.
