Well I am stuck in the house going crazy with this yucky snow. I made these pb and j cookies today LC of course. They are awesome. My son raved about them

I also made Bread, not that I eat it but I would rather make it for the hubby and son than buy that junk from the store with who knows what in it. I want to try the LC bread recipe in the Eades low carb comfort foods cookbook, but I forgot to get vital wheat gluten. Has anyone ever tried it?

Dharma: Thanks for the welcome.

sbaquera78: I also make bread for my family, but oh would love to have some nice and warm with the butter, but not giving into it.

I love the low carbing and the results that it gives me.

I am with you mary. It isn't worth it for me. My sugar just goes nuts and then I am crabby. Definitly not worth it.

Hi everyone! Do you mind another member? I've been doing the closest thing I know to Protein Power, for two weeks, tomorrow. So far, I've lost 8-pounds. Tomorrow morning is my official 2-week weigh-in, but this is "my time of the month", and I'm afraid I've gained a few water weight pounds. Thankfully, I weighed on my 12'th day, and that's when I had lost the 8-pounds. So, even if I've gained a few tomorrow, I won't be disappointed.

I've ordered "Protein Power" (the book), from ebay. The seller said it shipped May 25'th. It must really literally be SNAIL MAIL. I hope I get it Monday.

I am SO excited about this. I've done it several times before, and it works, and I don't know why I don't just stay on it. This time, is for the rest of my life. I'm finding so many recipes, that I will NEVER have to do without something that I want. I am not a cook...I married a Chef. But, I am so excited about cooking "Low-Carb", that I am cooking like crazy.

I really am a horrible cook. I've never really cooked, so I just don't have experience. My mother taught me how to make reservations, and I taught my daughter the same thing. I was a single mother for so long, it was easier (and almost as inexpensive), for us to eat out or get take-out, almost all of the time. That's what's wrong with my eating habits.

Now, DH is giving me cooking lessons, on occasion...the rest of the time, I just read the recipes and do exactly what it says. Usually, it works out really well. Tomorrow, we are both off work, and he is going to help me make my first "Oopsie Rolls". After I master that, I can start playing with the other "Oopsie Recipes", all by myself.

Does anyone use any sugar-free flavored syrups? If so, what are your favorite brands? I'm going to check the health section of my grocery store, and also Starbucks...don't know if they sell bottles of their SF Syrups.

Melle, congrats on losing 8 pounds, well done.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks! Well, as expected, I had gained about 3-pounds, overnight. I'm not the least bit worried, though. I know that those pounds (plus another pound or two), will be gone in a few days.

Great job on the weight loss. Don't worry about the water weight. I like the Da Vinci syrups BTW. Have a wonderful week.

Moretta · 05-05-2008, 07:40 AM

I have not tried DaVinci's yet and I don't use any Splenda at all, but I will cave in and get some of this stuff soon enough.

Have a great day everyone.

Well, I finally got my "Protein Power" book. That was the longest ebay shipment, I've ever had.

Anyway, I'm off work today, so I'll probably do some reading.

sbaquera78 · 05-08-2008, 01:48 PM

Glad you finally got it melle!
