I put oatmeal in them to boost their fiber and just in general make me feel less guilty. ha! I hope you enjoy these as much as my kids will as soon as they get home from school! Happy Chocolate chip cookie day! Insert cheesy milk glass cheers here!

Crockpot Chili

May 15, 2013 by Dina 1 Comment

I hate those meals where you mess up every dish in the house to make it. So when I cook I try to mess up only the absolute necessary items. When I made my crockpot chili last night I made it all in the crockpot. I even browned my meat in the crockpot! Here’s the cast of characters.

I used ground turkey, 4 cans chili beans, 1 can crushed and 1 can diced tomatoes cumin and chili powder.

I browned my ground turkey and 3/4 small onion in the crockpot on high for 1 hour.

Then added the 4 cans of beans, 2 cans of tomatoes, 1 tsp cumin and 3 tbs chili powder. Cooked on low 4 hours.

It was so good.

So simple. So quick. So delicious! Enjoy!

I just had gall bladder surgery so this is a mild chili. I miss my spicy food!

Low Carb Lunch Tuna salad

April 16, 2013 by Dina Leave a Comment

I’m having trouble finding different foods to eat at lunch time. Today I did a low carb lunch with tuna salad and cucumbers instead of bread. It was really good. The cucumbers were crisp and the tuna salad was yummy. Please ignore my pink eggs they were leftover from Easter! LOL

I’m finding that weight loss is consistent on the low carb diet. I’m not doing the 90′s diet of all the bacon and cheese I can eat. I’m doing lots of vegetables and good protein. Today’s lunch was really good. If I’m not eating my lunch on cucumber I’m eating it on celery! I have a great low carb dinner that will be on the blog tomorrow. Chicken Paprika in the crockpot! Happy low carb lunch!! Have you done low carb? Did you lose weight and keep it off?
