Living lowcarb (day 22!)

Another wonder low carb day draws to an end. I started out my day with cold brew and my new strawberry chia pudding. Both were super delish! 


I actually lost track of time and before I knew it, it was time for supper. I hadn't had lunch yet so snacked on a string cheese and some porkrinds while created my supper dishes.

I have always wanted to cook stuffed chicken, but have never taken the time to do it. I still am not quiet sure I prepared it the right way, but I just did my own thing and thankfully it turned out pretty tasty. We had "green" chicken, as my family called it. The "green" part consisted of kale, spinach, and chives all whipped up together in a block of cream cheese, garlic and butter. I cut the chicken breasts in thin halves, spread a layer of "green" on them, rolled them up, and secured the rolls with a toothpick. I popped them in the oven and let the rolls bake for nearly a hour on 250. The last 15 minutes, I turned the heat up to 350.    



I also prepared a broccoli salad that consisted of broccoli and cauliflower puree, mayo, olive oil, and seasoning. I mixed it all together and then topped shredded cheese. It was more the consistency of cornbread casserole that broccoli casserole, but the taste was good, and for that I am thankful. You just never know with me and my creations. ;)  


I needed just one more side, so I combined some chopped tomatoes and avocados with fresh dill and basil. I tossed it all together with some olive oil and it was a very pretty and also tasty dish.


My first plate. It was so good I just had to have seconds. :)


Another great day of great foodies. That's just how I like it!

Thanks for tuning in!

Living lowcarb (days 14,15,16, & 17!)

Oh my! I have not blogged in a while. Oooops! It's so much harder to keep track of things when I am away from home. 

We got home last night around 2:30am. When I got up this morning I climbed on the ol' dreaded scales. I was so worried about the damage done while we were away. Thankfully I had only gained 2lbs. I hate that I gained any, but I'm thankful it was only 2, and not 5. 

Rather than posting about all the things I've eaten today, I'm going to post my new grilled salmon recipe. I hope y'all will try it. It's truly delicious! 

What you need:
Salmon filets 
Fresh spinach
Lemon (sliced)
Lemon pepper
Paprika
Basil flakes
Reynolds wrap

Thaw your selected amount of salmon fillets (if frozen.)
Heat your grill to high or medium high. 
Tear off one square foot of Reynolds wrap for each piece of fish. 
Add one handful of fresh spinach to the middle of your Reynolds wrap square.
 



Lay your thawed piece of salmon on top of the spinach mound. Sprinkle lemon pepper, paprika, and basil flakes on the fish to suit your own taste. 




Add two slices of lemon 




Bring the Reynolds wrap sides up to form a boat and roll together. 




Place foil packs on the grill. 




Grill for 15 min or until salmon flakes when touched with a fork. 




Pair with your choice of sides and enjoy! 




I think if you will try it, you will enjoy it as much as we did! 

I also have a fresh pitcher of cold brew seeping in the fridge tonight, and a fresh pitcher of orange infused water. I think tomorrow will be a great day!  :)
