English Banger Sausages and a Spicy Frozen Entrée

By Andrea Wilson | February 21, 2023 | 0 Comments

The side dish here is the second of the two ready-meals (frozen entrées) that I bought at Walmart the other day. It was a little spicy and nice enough, but the first entrée was much more delicious. Even though these are quite expensive, I would buy the other entrée again for sure, but not this…

Middle Eastern Ground Beef, Fried Eggplant and Potato, Sour Cream

By Andrea Wilson | February 20, 2023 | 0 Comments

Middle Eastern ground beef served on a bed of diced, fried Chinese eggplant and potato, topped with sour cream. Delicious! Note: I am on maintenance, hence the small potato (~27 gm carbs). Also, I don’t eat much dairy, but I felt sour cream would round out this dish… and it did!

Breakfast for Lunch

By Andrea Wilson | February 19, 2023 | 0 Comments

For some reason I wanted breakfast for lunch today! So I heated some Johnsonville, no-fillers, pre-cooked, original-recipe  breakfast sausages from Walmart… and fried up three eggs. I also had some veggies left over from yesterday’s meal, to which I added some Balsamic vinegar to “pickle” them. Delicious and easy! Note: I also ate a couple…

Middle Eastern Ground Beef – Meal Prep

By Andrea Wilson | February 17, 2023 | 0 Comments

Middle Eastern Ground Beef I started with a recipe, but used curry powder instead of the Baharat Seasoning (which I didn’t have). I also added four small, diced, peeled Indian eggplant and skipped making the cauliflower rice and topping, as I was not planning on eating this dish today. When I do eat it, I…

Frozen Entree Makes a Delicious Side Dish

By Andrea Wilson | February 17, 2023 | 0 Comments

At Walmart I bought a single-serving ready-meal (frozen entrée) called Healthy Choice Zero Chicken Verde that cost $5.50 CAD (2-for-$11). Look for the second one in a later meal post. This one has 10 gm total carbs and 18 gm protein. I question the protein number, as it had very little chicken in it! And…

Leftover Meat and a Small Potato

By Andrea Wilson | February 16, 2023 | 0 Comments

One chicken thigh, two English banger sausages, four bacon “purses” and a small buttered potato (~28 g carbs) cooked in the microwave. I am on maintenance, hence the little potato. A lovely, easy meal, as the meat was all pre-cooked and just needed reheating in the air-fryer!

In a hurry? Feeling lazy? But still want to stay low-carb, Keto or carnivore? Fry three eggs in ghee, butter or bacon fat; reheat some bacon “purses” in the microwave… bingo, you have a perfect meal. Skip the toast, of course! Instead, dip that crispy bacon in the egg yolks. Scrumptious!

Great Insulin Resistance Explanation

I don’t require a CGM and this one seems especially expensive, so I am not interested in that aspect of this video, however Dr. Becky’s explanation of insulin resistance is great! Definitely worth watching this video for that alone. https://youtu.be/sXEdc_9ZrZw
