I promised Kat, from "JustabeachKat," that I would share a few of my favorite low carb recipes. These two are very tasty, and even if you are not on a low-carb diet, they make a great meal.
I hope this motivates me to get back on my diet!!!
I weighed 117#'s, when I got married...
15 years later....I don't! :)
Okay, maybe that shouldn't be a "smile" but a :(....oh well, it is what it is!
Last June I decided to really buckle down and lose weight, and from June until November, I lost 37#'s.....WOOHOOO!
But then in November, I went on a 7 day cruise, gained a few pounds...not too bad...
Christmas came...gained just a few more pounds, okay, not too bad...
But, then Easter came and I gained a few more pounds...Not so good!
Now altogether, I gained 8-9 pounds back!
....Not so Good!
So, pray for me and my discipline as I try to get back on my diet!
It's not so much a vanity thing, although, as my father-in-law used to say,
"Nothing looks as good on a person, as skinny!"
....But, at 39, it starts to be a health issue!
I'm not obese, but I don't want it get out of control...so I need to start backtracking! :)
If anyone out there has any simple low-carb recipes, I would really appreciate you sharing them with me!

Hi... first time dropping by your blog. I'm always looking for new ideas.... your Crockpot Chicken with Cream Sauce recipe sounds very good. It calls for chicken soup. Is this cream of chicken or chicken noodle? Either would probably be good since you're adding cream cheese... just wondering which you intended.

Thanks, Rhonda, for leaving the comment on my blog. Nice to meet you! =)
Your chicken recipe sounds delish! And can you believe I even have all the ingredients on hand? I'm boiling a big pot of ribs for supper, but I'm adding "chicken" to the menu tomorrow. Thanks!
