Breakfast Recipes / Re: Sausage, Cheese, and Mushroom Omelet w/ Sour cream and Salsa
« on: July 13, 2012, 07:59:41 PM »
I'm horrible at making omelets, so I decided to make this into a scramble today. Instead of using store bought salsa, I made my own. It was delicious!! Never thought to eat sour cream with eggs. The kids loved it (without mushroom, of course), and asked for seconds. This will definitely be in my rotation of meals.

I want to thank everyone who posted here.  I don't have much support from family/friends, so it means a lot to me that you took the time to give me advice.  I'm on a time crunch right now, gotta get to work, and can't really post while I'm there. But to let you guys know, I've still had a lot of hit or miss moments on FTS. I think back to the time when low carb has worked for me and I realize those times were when I did not count every single thing I put in my mouth. I just simply ate low carb. Every now and then I would count a day or two just to make sure everything was on point. That was it.  So, I may go back to that.  Aside from my cravings, the counting/restriction factor is getting to me. I never have done well on any plan that required counting. I'd still need to make this WOE work for me. So general low carb it is until I can do better.  Can I still hang around here if I am not doing FTS 100%?

Hmmm I don't know why mine was so salty then....I'm sure it was operator error....LOL  I bet I doubled up on the salt and didn't realize  ???  I can tell it will be wonderful once I get it sorted out.  The topping is wonderful, it's just the bottom crust is way to salty  :P  I'll try it again once I get more ingredients in the house. 

I was thinking this would be really good with maybe lemon flavoring to replace the vanilla....or topped with strawberries....Oh yummm 
Mine came out salty as well. Used the amount called for, with unsalted butter. I wonder if it depends on the kind of salt used? I use sea salt.

I think I will be making it again only use 1/8 or 1/4th teaspoon.

I remember reading somewhere that Chia seeds can be used as tapioca and berry seed replacements. Might be worth a try in your mixture for the missing texture.

General Discussion / What to bring for a working lunch?
« on: July 01, 2012, 06:50:22 PM »
So this week I have a training scheduled where my work is going to supply lunch (sugary tuna fish salad with salad greens and crackers). I don't want to eat what is being served. We are to work through lunch, and I am told by others who have gone to the same training that I'll barely have time to eat anything because the trainers are moving through everything so fast. I'm wondering what I should bring that will be portable without a ton of containers and easy to eat. What would you bring?

These look good. I'll have to try them next time I'm in the mood for pancakes. Cool!

My most recent "pizza" has been to lay out pepperoni on a paper towel covered plate and to put a torn piece of provolone cheese on each slice.  Then I nuke it for about 30 - 35 seconds to melt the cheese. It satisfies my pizza cravings and for ZERO carbs.
That's a good idea! Gotta try it.

I've not been doing very well at sticking to FTS. I did great for several days, then caved in during my oldest son's b-day party. I won't go into the details of all the junk I ate. Ever since then, I've been binging so badly. Craving sugar like a drug addict. I had planned to get back to FTS today, but already this morning I've had 6 twizzler's. It's like I just can't stop, it's almost automatic that I reach for something horrible, without much thought until the eating is done.

I'm so mad at myself. How come I can't follow through when it comes to eating right? I know I'm slowly killing myself. I have diabetes, yet I eat without a care. It's so bad that I wonder when I go to sleep at night if I will wake up in the morning. And it makes me sad and depressed because I don't want to leave my kids. They don't deserve having to grow up without me.  But the pull of sugar and junk is so strong that I almost feel powerless.

I don't want to give up. I know that I will start again. Right this minute. But I do not know how to stop this behavior. Can anyone give me some tips on how to stop?

So my hubby lately has become intolerate of nuts, aside from almond flour,what can we use that we have a cakey consistency?

Ive tried GFS but the taste is so so...
What is GFS? You might want to try coconut flour. There's a lady named Maria Emmerich who has some great recipes with coconut flour. Google her name to find her blog.
