So I accomplished pretty much nothing thus far today. In my search for a low carb crock pot cook book,* I did verify that it seems impossible to follow a low carb diet that is also low in fat. This is a wee problem (unless you are near me when I have gas, then it is a very large and unfortunate problem) because my mysterious digestive ailment requires me to restrict my fat intake. I suppose the solution to all this is to eat salad for the rest of my miserable, cupcake-loving life. Although even some fruits and veggies are restricted in low carb diets. Insanity, I tell you.
Another thing that I did that does not count as accomplishing anything is catch up on my favorite really awful blogger. In the past, before I had any netiquette at all, I complained about her blog here. I also left some less-than-considerate comments (I believe the term “hack” was thrown down) on her site, which was not the right thing to do, even if it is true. I also described about it as like “a gruesome car accident” which I could not stop staring at. Then I realized that I had the wrong mindset about the whole thing, and that her blog was, in fact, utterly hilarious in its pretentiousness and observations about New York. Hence I read big chunks of it once in a while to chuckle.
Anyway, this all led me to the brilliant site Trainwrecks. Yessss, it is evil and mean and highly entertaining. Hee hee. Oh, how it appeals to my hideous bitch side. These people are brilliant. Truly, I am jealous.
*Crock pot cooking is about all I can handle other than making eggs in various styles.

If you let me know the foods you are not allowed to eat, I can give you a few one pan recipies that are low carb and low fat and EASY, I promise :-)
ReplyDeleteI just picked up Eating Well: Diabetes Cookbook. I am not diabetic but the recipes are wholesome and low in carbs. Each recipe has a nutritional breakdown per serving. Eating Well is a magazine I pick up from time to time. I would get a subscription but they have a lot of meat.
ReplyDeleteHope that helps. Jane
P.S. sorry my previous recommendation is not a crock pot cookbook but I am sure you could adapt some of the soup and meat recipes. I'm a pro at that if you need help. Also, "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook" is EXCELLENT! Very modern recipes from breakfast to dessert.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know they still made crock pots..
ReplyDeleteDrink lots of water. Lots of red wine, and very small portions of very yummy food, regardless of content. You'll be happy and healthy and thinnish.
ReplyDeleteJust don't exercise too much, or you'll want to eat more.
(This is NOT advice to women from a man. It's what I do. Heed your Dr. of course, over me. [But check their advice per your own blood work, eh.])
BTW, ...my favorite really awful blogger.
I thought your were talking about Dawn Eden. Then I remembered your posts on that one.
Good luck finding Croc Pot recipes, Suzanne. :)
Oh yah, did I miss something? My last 3 turing words have all been smenita.
??? LOL!
The Fix It and Forget About crockpot series makes one for diabetics. I haven't actually looked through it, but I've seen it at the stores. I know that I have one of the other ones, not the main one that I got you, and a lot of the recipes don't use cans of soup. Not sure about this one though.
