Crunchy chicken and creamed spinach! Wow, today was an adventure for me in my upstate NY winter wonderland. It all started yesterday when I decided to buy a snack....crunchy....all I could think of is pork rinds. So to the store I go, hunt those critters down and buy them. Today was a day off today, so I am playing on the puter killing orcs and trolls when the snack attack hits! YES!!! I have something crunchy I can eat!!! I get out the bag, open it, smell it...hmmmmm, I do not know if I can eat this. So I wait a minute..smell again...NOPE, not gonna be able to do this. DARN! I know hubby wont eat them..what to do. OH well, put them in the BACK of the cupboard and get my yummy, chocolate soymilk.

Later, thinking about dinner..what can I do with chicken? Well maybe you guessed the rest. I took boneless, skinless chkn breast, cut them into big wide strips. I took the pork rinds and crushed them with a metal ladel in a bowl. In a pie plate, I broke eggs and mixed in whipping cream. I dipped each chkn piece in the egg mixture, then rolled it in the crushed rinds. It looked like corn flakes. I layed them out on a olive-oil greased cookie sheet, sprinkled pepper and parmesan cheese on em, and cooked!!! I served them with an awesome dipping sauce: Mayonnaise, mustard and cinnamon. Hubby devoured them down. I was waiting for him to ask what the coating was because he knows I am carb free....but he did not stop to breath when he ate these. So, later I will type up the recipe for my cookbook, and submit it to FS like I did another one (still waiting)....but I put it here in my journal so I could find it, and to share with anyone interested! Side dish with this: chopped spinach mixed with red bell peppers and whipped cream cheese. This Atkins stuff is GREAT!!!

Wednesday, snow and ice in upstate New York and I am in love with life! I think I am ok with this ATkins way after I restocked my frigerator with yummy stuff...chunky blue cheese dressing, fresh avocados, sirloin burgers, BACON, EGGS, celery and cream cheese, broccoli, spinach, chocolate soymilk, coconut milk, almond milk, BUTTER, black olives, salad greens, chicken thighs, pesto. Yup, its all good at the moment. I have discovered if I keep a big bowl of pasta salad in the frig (which I do not care for) then dinners for hubby and me are a snap. I cook a nice meat, side veggie with butter or cheese or a salad and serve HIM the pasta...then I am not cooking different stuff for the two of us. It is really sinking in that I can do this for life...I am not going back this time. Already started taking my old blue jeans out of storage (have multiple sizes). And once I am done with one size, I am donating it instead of storing it so that I dont think about going back. The tips and encouragement here on FS are amazing and it is so good to have friends who have a common goal and journey. I am thankful for all of you in my life!!! And I am so pumped up that we are doing this together. As I peek out my window at the ice and snow, I am good with all that. I can hide in long sleeves and coats for a while longer. And then in a few months, when the floweres are blooming, perhaps we will be blooming with a new body and outlook on life. So, in spite of the cold and slush, etc. .....I am grateful for this winter time hopefully while the old me dies like the flowers to make room for the new!!!
