I had such a busy weekend! I would like to say I stayed on track, and I actually did on my food choices, but I failed miserably on my Carb Count! I went out with friends Saturday night & thought a drink or two wouldn't hurt. My drink of choice is Amaretto & 7-up.. they only had sprite so I had an Amaretto Sour.. 30 CARBS IN ONE DRINK!! I had two.. my bad! I had another party Sunday but I brought my iced coffee & drank no alcohol at all. I don't drink often so I have plenty of time to find a low carb alternative!
I cooked for the party on Sunday. I made a caesar type salad but used a non caesar dressing. I made a simple sausage dip:
Cook 1 package of bulk country pork sausage. Drain fat off.
add 2 pkgs cream cheese, cubed.
add 1 can Rotel Tomatoes with green chiles, I use mild.
Let heat through.
Carbivores can eat it with corn chips. I am trying to think of ways to make it more low carb but still yummy. Maybe do without the tomatoes & use veggie sticks to dip with.
I also made Chicken Cheese Lasagna for everyone else. I took some of the ingredients to create a low carb alternative. I am going to make it as a full recipe tonight & will post it when I have the amounts tweaked. The sample I made for myself was very good!
Truth: I weighed 183.5 this morning. Probably would have done better without the alcohol!
