I considered adding some brown rice, but he didn't want it! If we'd had quinoa, he would have eaten that, but we are out of quinoa. FYI ended up adding kale to the mushrooms per this recipe: http://busygirlhealthylife.com/balsamic-kale-mushroom-saute/ he didn't add the feta to the top because we forgot, but he said it was fantastic. Next time, I will be sure to crumble up some Snackwell's as a garnish, to appease the internet. |

OP... here is the link for the pumpkin muffins!
http://paleopumpkinmuffins.com/ FYI: I omitted the pumpkin pie spice and used nutmeg instead. And if you don't have honey on hand, you can use agave or real maple syrup, or even a combo of all three.... as long as it equals the original measurement. Also, these stick to paper muffin cups, but the other day I used foil muffin cups and they did not stick AT ALL. We eat these with a dab of butter for dessert, a snack, or even breakfast since they're actually HEALTHY!!! |
So true. Whole grains are not a necessity, except as a filler, of course, which means you most likely didn't eat enough fiber via fruits and veggies. I happen to be one of those people who loves bread, pasta and crackers, but my body processes them the same way it does a bag of chips or a candy bar. I just can't eat grains regularly, or I'll be a fat ass. Sorry to be so blunt, but its true. And I'm no skinny Minnie these days, but I sure know what will tip the scale in the wrong direction. |

I stand corrected.... |

I am a big fan of the low carb high fat diet - or ketogenic diet. Works for my husband and me.
I love Nom Nom Paleo. I also just started using a little bit of stevia and am loving that. If you are used to not having any sweet tastes, just a drop of stevia in coffee or whipped cream adds such a luxurious sweetness. My husband and I eat a lot of sausage. Beef or pork sausage (most of the chicken and turkey ones don't have enough fat) with grilled, roasted, or sautéed veggies is a typical dinner. We also do pulled pork in the slow cooker, grilled chicken thighs, beef chili (no beans), and thai coconut curries with whatever meat and veg is handy. I just got this thing to make zucchini pasta and really like it: http://www.amazon.com/Veggetti-1000203-Spiral-Vegetable-Cutter/dp/B00IIVRB3W/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1405048165&sr=8-4&keywords=vegetable+spiralizer |
Zoodles! All your foods sound yummy ... I am a big fan of LCHF although we generally don't make it all the way to ketosis as we eat tons of low carb veggies, mostly because we love them. |
