Paige E's Journal, 22 October 2008

I started taking a water pill a couple days ago and I think its controlling the blood pressure issues. What would really help is to take off another 20lbs!!!

I am making a roast today and I love to use cream of mushroom soup in it. But I didn't because it has so many carbs in it (not to mention the corn starch!!). It got me thinking - I would LOVE to find a creamy mushroom or creamy chicken soup recipe that is Atkins friendly. Has anyone every seen anything like that? I did a little searching but couldn't come up with anything. So I thought I'd come to my favorite source and ask all of you! If I found a good one, I'd make it and can it and use it in items like this. As a matter of fact, there are so many things I'd use it in!

Its raining here today so I have a day off of the constant job of scraping and priming and painting my brother's house. I needed it. I'm kinda getting sore. I am so lucky - I have an extra deep bathtub with jets in it. If it wasn't for my long, hot, jetted baths at night I don't think I could sleep!!! It works out almost all the soreness after a long day of working on the house. However, I have to eat some avocado today because I felt the leg cramps coming on last night!! Me need potassium!!

You know, sometimes my journals are so mundane, they even bore me!!! I guess that's okay! I can't be too insightful all the time - I would drive myself and everyone around me crazy!!

Have a good day everyone!

I make my roast like that as well. I LOVE CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP! So I make my own. Instead of using the canned soup, use Heavy Cream (Great Value @ Walmart is 0 carbs) and chop up some mushrooms (or use canned ones). This is what I do....hope it helps!

I saute mushrooms in olive oil with onions and garlic then I add heavy cream. I used this instead of cream of mushroom soup for a green bean casserole for thanksgiving last year and everyone loved it. :) I haven't tried it in other recipes but I'm sure it would work just fine.
