stayhomemom77 - hope you and your hubby are doing well trying the low carb life out..

Thanks. I don't really like eating low carb, but I do love the rate of weight loss so we do intermittent low carb and eat regularly 3 days a week to keep our sanity. Last fall I was able to lose 30 pounds pretty effortlessly eating this way and since I packed it back on at Christmas, I thought I'd better give myself a jump start once again!

I'll be trolling your posts for ideas when I get tired of eating the same things all the time!

Well, we couldn't sustain the low carb eating!

We're bagging it, starting today. Menu doesn't change though as this was our last low carb day for the week (supposed to be) so we are still having chicken breasts and salad...I'm just making a side dish of fettucine alfredo to go with it.

Tomorrow is still homemade hamburger helper (beef stroganoff) and Saturday is still bean and rice burritos.

I got groceries today and picked up some ground pork so I can make homemade wontons (and consequently wonton soup) and decided to make homemade italian meatballs and mini tortieres with the rest of the package of pork.

I think I'll do all that up tomorrow and then freeze them for future meals.

Hi Everyone!

I told you a while back that my daughter has a mass in her lymph node on the left side. It's 19x24mm(almost 1 inch). We got an CAT scan last week and the original surgeon we saw didn't want to do the surgery and is sending us to the local Children's hospital. We are seeing my youngest DD's surgeon that removed her tonsils. I know this is the best place for her anyway. Our appt. wasn't until May but I managed to get her in this next week. In the meantime, we are trying to keep things as normal as possible. Our appointment is next week Thurs. so I will update next week.

This is what I have been making the last few days:
Tonight taco bowl salads
meatball subs last night and bananas Fosterhttp://tinkmomfoodie-foodobsession.blogspot.com/2013/04/bananas-foster-night.html
chiorizo quiche's
chicken pie popovers
Poutine fries

Last night we had a doctors appointment (we're at the twice a week point bc I'm a high risk pregnancy) so we had chipotle after the appointment and then went to see G.I. Joe.

Tonight we had roasted lemon pepper chicken, Spanish style garbanzo beans with chorizo and potatoes in a saffron sauce with white rice. My mom made this tonight, I didn't have to cook it, so it tasted AMAZING! LOL It's funny how things taste so great when you don't have to cook them yourself.

Well, I am trying to go gluten free for the next several weeks to see if it helps my digestive issues. My Celiac test was negative, but I wonder if I still have a gluten sensitivity. My GI said it would not hurt to try, and at this point I'm game for anything if it will help. Anyway, that will complicate the meal planning process a little, although not that much. I'm also omitting milk, although I'm still eating cheese and eggs.

Sunday (today): honey garlic chicken in the crock pot - over brown rice with cabbage on the side.

Monday: Spaghetti (with gluten free pasta for me) and salad

Tuesday: Sloppy joes with homemade sweet potato fries (bunless for me)

Wed: leftovers (church night)

Thurs: spinach and turkey bacon quiche (crustless) with fruit salad

Fri - Sun: DH out of town at a men's retreat, I'll forage around the house I bought a few potatoes too so I might work those in somewhere. I eat a lot of scrambled eggs and fruit when it's just me.

I just went trough an colonoscopy and it was confirmed I don't have Celiac's but I did have colitis. I found I have a lactose problem too but I am not having as many bad days as I used to so diet may work for you. The diet thing is kind of a trial and error. Try to record what you are eating and when you have a bad day. That may help you figure out what your trigger foods are. I have other food allergies so visiting a allergist might help you out too.

For the previous 2 posters, I just got done reading a great book, It Starts with Food by the owners of the Whole9 website. The book promotes a Paleo diet but they have a Whole30 program that eliminates all dairy, grain, beans, etc for 30 days and has a way to gradually reintroduce foods to help determine what is causing issues. Might be worth looking at. They have their whole program for free on their website...the book just offers a consolidated, more in depth look at it.

Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts about my DD. I am not going to think about it anymore until we go see the surgeon.

This morning we got off to a late start but I have quiche's in the oven. I am hoping to save one of them for dinner tomorrow? I highly doubt it though! http://tinkmomfoodie-foodobsession.blogspot.com/search?q=quiche

My doctor and I are working on a possible gluten sensitivity for me as well. Nothing too serious thank god, but enough that I will have to be careful. We figured it out based off of a food diary and a journal I kept of symptoms. There was a definite correlation between over doing it with gluten and my problems (digestive issues, migraines, fatigue, etc). We are going to start with simply watching the amount of gluten I take in to see if reducing it alone will help.

Tinkmom you will be in our thoughts. I am sorry I have been MIA. We've been eating at home but it hasn't been anything interesting. Last week was using up all the leftovers. Money is tiiiiiiiight so until Thursday we will be eating whatever I can create out of nothing. In fact I have to go find something for tonight. I do ave a turkey in the freezer that I will take out, but that's not going to help me in the next 2 days. I'm thinking of starting to blog about our adventures in inexpensive dining home.
