Replicating Puka Dogs LC style - making oopsies for buns, making my own garlic lemon sauce and the only slightly carby thing will be the pineapple in the pineapple salsa (making that too)... using brats this time - making my own "sweet" mustard by just adding some sweetener to a spicy mustard. I had these in Kauai when I was there years ago - had to make them at home.

Went out to celebrate- after nearly 2 years of fertility treatment, I'm pregnant!!!!!!!

Steamed clams
Garden salad with sherry vinaigrette
Iced tea

Snacking on sf cocoa and almonds now

Btw, missed this place. I just couldn't stand seeing my old posts asking about low carb pregnancies . So I stayed away. So glad to see so many familiar people are still here.

OMG, Robin . I've been thinking about you and wondered how you're doing

Congratulations

Wishing you all the best, good health and a happy bouncy baby

Robin!!! So glad to see you. I was thinking about you too, wondering how you were.
CONGRATS!!!

Starmarie's "Best Fried Cabbage Ever"... not sure where I saw the recipe, or when I copied it - probably a long time ago... Cabbage, bacon, onion S&P.

Thank you for the warm welcome back

DH has become a crackslaw fan, beef with garlic and ginger. I just got him some lowcarb wraps so he can make it into Mu Shu Pork.

If I can do him a General Tso's low carb, I think he will swear off takeout happily.

I just saw what I thought was a low carb General Tso Chicken Recipe...I had the book out from the library.... I think it was Patricia Heaton's Food for Family and Friends, but I could be wrong. I bet there is one floating around out there!
(ok I googled it - lots of keto and lc recipes to be found!)

Tonight is my go-to shrimp salad w/romaine, hard cooked egg, shredded mozz and Ranch dressing...tomatos, avo, those Parm cheese crisps... bacon bits...yum.

Thanks, mviesprite! I figured once I looked around I'd see some tricks and tips on getting that flavor.

I have told him about cauli-rice, but I don't think he was enthused... yet.

Carrot noodles with Siracha tofu and Asian peanut sauce
Apricot sparkling water

Dill pumpkin seeds and peach iced tea for a snack

Last night was a veggy burger with cheddar, pickles and at catsup
Green salad with bell pepper and half an avo, yogurt ranch dressing

Robin! Good to see you back, healthy... and preggo! The bestest of health to you. I used to frequent a pub that literally had that on the menu. It was lettuce + boiled eggs + every vegetable + every meat in the whole dang kitchen. It was a great LC meal. I don't think I ever finished it.

What exciting news. All the best!

Thanks Werebear and Kristine!

And that salad sounds awesome- out of curiosity I googled "kitchen sink salad" and a million recipes popped up, which defeats the purpose of using leftovers ?

Tonight: Had to use 2 big avocados that I forgot here when I went to petsit... they were still good but weren't going to last long, and had leftover chicken breasts so made Stuffed Chicken and Cheese baked Avocados in the toaster oven. They were good!
