So, I've been cooking like a fiend! I think the question I get most from hubby, Mom or my friends is "what are you making now?" lol I'm trying every recipe I can find, yesterday we had grilled pork steaks (yes, hubby barbecued in 30 degree weather), Kim chi and cauliflower mac and cheese. The spicy cabbage really offset the creamy cauliflower. I was actually shocked, hubby said "I could eat the whole pan of this cauliflower." What? Him liking a veggie??? :-) Granted it was smothered in cream cheese, cheddar and had mustard - all his favorites, but it was low carb and I agree wonderful. He even said he was going to finish the rest for lunch today. I know you guys don't know him, but it's a total victory! This man does not like veggies. I really looked for something he'd like, since I tortured him on Saturday. I gave him spaghetti squash, spinach and goat cheese, with hamburgers. He's a trooper and ate it, but he was not pleased. He's such a love, I got real lucky with him! My Mom on the other hand continues to whine and complain that I'm going to "hurt myself" by not following the diet the hospital gave me. That was 1600 calories and had me eating over 165 carbs a day. My sugars were up and my energy was way down. Now I'm energized, loosing weight and my sugars - can you guess? Yes, my sugars are going down! Saturday I woke up with an 81!!!!!!
