This blog has been far more focused on recipes than I had originally intended it to be, but right now that seems to be where my focus is. Especially with the trial of this diet. I’ve lost 15 lbs total in the span of a month and with the exception of the stomach flu, I [...]

Ah-Hah Moment
Posted in Daily Mutterings on March 27, 2012 | 2 Comments »
I just had an Ah-hah moment! On this diet/lifestyle plan, if I wanted to – I could eat cobbler for breakfast and it would be completely healthy and within my boundaries. Do you hear that…. The Angels are singing…. It has butter, peaches, apples, almond and coconut flour, coconut milk and various spices. It fits [...]
Wednesdays are always a long day…

I start at 7 in the morning and often don’t get home until 7 in the evening. Most times (in the past) I’d make on of the boys cook. unfortunately he normally makes pizza (you know, by calling in the order) and that’s just not on the diet. So I’m trying to come up with [...]
Put another log on the fire

A friend called me over (oh so many years ago) and for some reason I was feeling nostalgic and had to go find it. She said it reminded her of me… (fits of laughter) Remember that Deb?
Mango Salsa

I had bought 14 mangos this weekend because they were so much cheaper in bulk. (14 for $7) and they were going soft on me so I had to figure something out. I had eaten mango salsa on my shrimp taco at Freeman’s low country fish camp and fell in love with it. Ingredients: Mango [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s day

It’s a little sad for me today – all alone. I didn’t even make Corned Beef and cabbage because I didn’t have anyone to share it with. I’ll probably make a salad and add some fish on the side. Despite my aloneness, it’s been a good day.

I wouldn’t have believed it but Wow do I feel good today! A Huge Huge Huge difference! Just for the fun of it today I jumped on the exercise bike and then went out and gardened. I’m a little tired at 5:30 but I think I forgot lunch in all that. /shrug I wasn’t hungry [...]
Day nine on the primal blueprint diet/lifestyle
Posted in Daily Mutterings on March 16, 2012 | 8 Comments »
Here it is day nine. I’ve lost 3 lbs and am feeling great. Weird thing is that I have no urge to drink coffee anymore. I still like the flavor and enjoy the cup when I have it, but there is no OVERWHELMING need to make a pot in the middle of the day. I [...]
Day Seven

Well here I am at day no. 7 and so far so good. I’ve had some experiences with low blood sugar as my metabolism increases. It’s also hard to push meat and cheese when I’ve spent so long avoiding it. I found that I don’t even miss bread and have experienced no driving craving for [...]
