There is nothing that says “comfort food” like pot roast!  Make it on Sunday morning in a crock pot and by the time it’s ready the whole house smells WONDERFUL!

Many people will try to “fancy” the recipe up.  That’s OK – that’s their choice.  But I think that a chuck roast combined with water and some root vegetables is really all you need.

I have to admit that I love, love, LOVE deviled eggs.  And I hate, hate, HATE to make them!

I think it’s because it’s such a tedious process.  Boil the eggs – cool them off … shell the eggs.  Sigh … I always manage to mess up a few that now look pitted and diseased with big chunks out of them.  Then I can’t stand it when the inside of the egg whites are wet, so I have to dry them out and I must pipe the yoke filling back in once it’s made – so there’s more mess that has to be cleaned up.

But they taste so darned good ………

I love coconut macaroons!  Before I started doing the low-carb lifestyle, I would buy them from a nearby bakery everytime I saw them.

Well, doing low-carb meant no more visits to the bakery for me!  I was missing coconut macaroons, so I tried this recipe and it’s really good.

One of the things I miss most about the low-carb way of life is the occasional instance when I’m craving a sandwich.  Now, I could create low carb bread, but there are other ways to “have my cake & eat it too.”

When I’m craving a BLT, I discovered that if I use lettuce leaves to roll up the other ingredients, the sliced tomato combined with the washed lettuce made everything too wet and drippy.  Tasted good – but I felt like I needed a bib!

I love my low carb lifestyle.  I really am not a sweet-eater.  So this is probably why going low-carb is easier for me that other weight loss options.

Why is it then – that almost the minute I know I can’t have sweets, I start wanting them?
