Low Carb My Way

Since it’s been way too easy for me to slip into the “drive thru” or “frozen entree” lunch and dinner cycle recently, I decided that I needed to take advantage of our local Saturday Farmers Market and the wonderful meat market in my neighborhood.

At the Farmers market I got tomatoes, lettuce, broccoli, green beans, strawberries, zuchinni, and summer squash. With the veggies I’ve got in the freezer I have enough for the week. Then I stopped at the meat market which has some great prepared and frozen food. Everything is made on site and contains only fresh ingredients. So I got a Rock Cornish Game Hen which I’ll have for dinner tonight with lettuce and tomato salad. Then I got an Italian marinade Chicken Breast which I’m going to try cooking in my Rocket Grill. I also got a small meatloaf. If I like it, I’ll buy the bigger one and then use what I don’t eat for lunch or freeze for future dinners. They also have frozen entrees. I got three of these – but I’ll probably give two of them to my son who is working late and the meals are pre-cooked and the frozen, so only take a short time to cook in the microwave.

Now I have to put in an order for the rest of my groceries. We have PeaPod locally and I can get my eggs, bacon, and household goods from them – and it’s delivered.

I’m going to try to post daily, at least this week, to see how I do.

I really fell off the wagon last week and have to get back into eating correctly. After having the stroke it’s now more important than ever that I eat properly. Friday I had a terrible case of hypoglycemia and ended up having to take a glucose tablet to get my level up. I think I know what happened. I took my glucose meds without eating. Anyway, going to do better.
