From last Friday 5/22 to Friday 5/29 I lost 2.2 pounds. In the beginning of that week I had hit a stall, and that was annoying! But, later in the week the scale started moving in the other direction so that was good.
One of my favorite foods is chicken wings, but even with their low carb characteristics, I just can't think they're really good for me. So, we've been experimenting at home. Same flavors, healthier preparation. We take boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders and season them and fry them in a skillet. Then, we pull them out, chop them into bite size pieces. First we made a hot sauce (butter, hot sauce, worcestershire sauce) to drop the cooked chicken bites in - very good. That with celery sticks and ranch dressing was a nice casual supper. Then, the other night, George mimicked this garlic parmesan sauce I love! He sautéed garlic in butter, and put the chicken in that. Then, he'd put some parmesan cheese in a deep mixing bowl so he put the chicken in there and tossed it in the cheese. It was delicious!
Other than that, we're experimenting with other low carb foods. I've ordered some things from netrition.com and have mixed reviews. The low carb pancakes and syrup are pretty good. The no carb BBQ sauce was awful (I'm going to try to make my own next time, more on that to come.) I also tried low carb apple cinnamon muffins - pretty good, but I think it was like 4 carbs for one little muffin.
Next week my sister and her family are coming for a visit and I want to try out my low carb homemade ice cream recipe while they're here. I'll try to post pictures and a review!
