I cook some pretty good meals. I keep all the picky eaters in my home happy, so why not share with everyone what we are having for dinner each night. I do feed the kids just a little bit different than the two of us but we are on a carbohydrate diet or sorts, well more him than me but I try to be supportive.
Last night I wanted to fill my plate with the macaroni and cheese I had made for the kids but I managed to wait until he had left the kitchen to sneak a few bites for myself. I think he knew I was eating some.
I had made chicken breasts in the oven on my Pampered Chef bar pan and then I made us a big salad and the kids mac n cheese.
It was filling enough but I think your body craves carbohydrates like a drug. I know I wanted everything last night from cake to ice cream and chocolates but I managed to get by with just eating a snack size butterfinger. It was the smallest of the snack sized too. Craving carbohydrates is a bad thing, and I love them dearly but with him on this Atkins diet where he can only have a few carbs each day I have naturally cut back on them myself. The scale proves it too because I've lost almost 7 pounds over the last couple of weeks. He has dropped almost 15 pounds eating this way in 3 weeks. The first week he strictly stuck to meats and proteins but it was easy for him because he loves eggs and bacon and pork loin, just meat in general.
So anyway, back to the topic at hand here, I am going to keep track of the foods we eat for dinner every night right here on this blog. You can come here for inspiration and cooking ideas of your own. I will share my simple to make recipes that keep my kids and hubby smiling at every meal.
Now, to figure out what I'm going to have tonight- stay tuned until tomorrow when I reveal the dishes I made for dinner tonight.
