Chic’s Chili

 - by Low Carb Chic

Ok I know it’s really not lowcarb, but this is what my family requested today. A big pot of Chili! The only thing  that is not lowcarb is the beans, but beans have a lot of protein, so really this dish is diabetic friendly. I didn’t eat a big bowl, but I did eat some, and boy was it good.

Enjoy your week

Happy 2010

 - by Low Carb Chic

lowcarbchicWell here it is 2010. Does anyone really remember where they were in January 2000? Can you even remember the last 10 years? There was a lot that happen to me in the past 10 years,and most all great really, but it is the little things we forget. I wished I had a blog 10 years ago, or for that matter kept a journal. That will change today. I’m going to try to put something down everyday that I did for that day. I know your thinking ( boring) but maybe I can look back in 10 more years, and say YES I remember doing that!!!! At the top of the blog page will be where you can click Chic’s Journal.

Happy New Year

The, ChicDinnerI started my 2010 off with this! I really wanted romaine lettuce, but this is all I had!

Christmas 2009I hope everyone has had a great Christmas this year. I will have to say for me it has been different. We broke all traditions when it comes to Christmas. First I had to work,so we really are doing Christmas Sunday with all the kids, but my Grease Monkey” AKA Hubby,and my Son talked me into opening presents on Christmas Eve. I do think the girls were a little upset, but they will be here Sunday. They have turn into adults, and moved away. ( SAD) .I’ve added just a few photos to share with you. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Christmas 2009My sugar-free jam I get from my good friend Glen every year.

Christmas 2009My dog seeing snow for the second time in her 4 year life.

Christmas 2009Awwwwwww she left her paw print in the snow. By the time this photo was snapped she was back in her bed with her blanket. Not sure she likes this snow thing.

Christmas 2009This is how I found her. In bed wrapped up. I love her so.

Christmas 2009Something I can’t have”Pecan Pie” Someone brought one to work for our work Christmas party ( Why does people want to be so mean to me?…I love Pecan Pie. I’m actually working on a sugar-free, carb friendly pecan pie. I hope it turns out good, and I can share.

Christmas 2009Something I can have. This was my Christmas lunch I made myself today. Sometimes you just need a good salad.

LifeLineThis is my Life Line! a One Touch Ultra Monitor. This tells me everything that is going on with my day,and how to plan my night,and everything that deals with me. Never did I think I would be here, but I’m here. It takes you,and you really have to get on the ride. I got on the ride the very next day after I found that I had Diabetes,and started this diet. It was so hard,because I loved BAD things. I refused “PIZZA” one day with a friend, and I knew I had to make this better,and I did……Get your A1-C check…Click here for more info on A1-C test.

The rest is something I just have to deal with everyday, along with so many other people in this world. We do this everyday,and my heart goes out to “EVERYONE” with DIABETES. Read this article »

Brussel Sprouts The Chic Way

 - by Low Carb Chic

Brussel

I love these, but most people do not. I say just try them once. I will say when I was making them,and taking pics I was HUNGRY. This recipe is so easy,and your kids could make this. The fact a green veggie is good for us is scary for most but even my Grease Monkey loved it ( AKA Hubby).

Grease Monkey

Yes!! That is the man that tried the Brussels Sprouts….Looks like he could HURT a fly???….lol….NOT,and he loved them.so give them a shot. Read this article »

Chic’s Chicken Salad Sandwich

 - by Low Carb Chic

Chicken salad sammieHmmmm!! What do you do with all those leftovers from Thanksgiving??? Nothing!!! You go buy you a can of chicken and you make this sandwich is what you do. I hardly ever have leftovers. I did have some ham this year,and I guess you could use ham for this recipe also. For something so quick,and most the time we all have this stuff in our pantry. This is one of my favorite snacks. I use to put green grapes,and pecans in this. I got that from a good friend of mine years go, but since we all know grapes is VERY sweet. I had to take this recipe in a new direction. I hope all enjoy,and I hope all had a great Thanksgiving. I know I did, because I didn’t have to work. Most of the time I always work Thanksgiving. Have  good weekend all….The Chic Read this article »
