Ran into a challenge the past couple of days. Our city "peeps" were working on the electrical lines in my neighborhood this week. We were w/o power for 4 hours on Tuesday and for 5 hours on Wednesday. (For this reason, I was not on FS much at all.) Plus, it really wrenched my eating plan -- I did not want to open the fridge and let the chilled air out - so our food would stay fresh. And even if I did get something out to prepare, I could not cook anything up to eat. The only thing that was available to me was the Atkins bars -- I don't eat them usually, except for one tiny bite every now and again. Buy them mostly for Jim b/c they're a healthy snack for him. But, there was nothing else I could eat.
Went out to Applebees for a late lunch and had a fantastic steak/shrimp with brocolli and asked for sauteed mushrooms to replace the starchy potato. Awesome!
Power was still out when I got home so I could not bake the low-carb pound cake to take to church last night. Later, I ended up making an old favorite stand-by b/c the ingredients were in the pantry - way in the back. Made PB and Chocolate Rice Krispy Treats ... and I was not tempted to have one at all!!! I did NOT even lick my fingers!!! They got totally scarfed up and were enjoyed by everyone (who was lucky enough to have some!). A few asked for the recipe, too.
Didn't really have time to eat supper. And during the fellowship time after church, nothing was served that was on my plan...so I visited with everyone and just did without... And I am okay with that! Got home too late to warrant eating anything else except a piece of cheese.
All in all, I think I did well and made something good out of an incovenient situation...
Still stuck - and know I will be now for at least a few more days b/c of those A bars I ate yesterday. :/

Sounds great!!! Hubby made an awesome pot roast and veggies for dinner last night. It was awesome, not sure what we are doing for dinner tonight. We were contemplating lamb kabobs, but the weather has turned to winter again, so we may have a lamb stew to go with it. Or there is a big ol' turkey thawed and sitting in the fridge waiting to be roasted. lol

Sounds fantastic, Stef. I so wish we were neighbors! Hubby's cooking sounds amazing. Wouldn't it be great if we could hop on over to eachother's house once a week?! (Let's plan on doing that together in heaven; okay? Atleast then we'll share the same zip code!) = )

Evie, yes being neighbors would be fantastic. My hubby is a wonderful cook, and he treats me like a princess all the time. We will do that in heaven, Evie, and maybe we can invite all our other buddies to join us at that banquet table!
