We just sliced up some cucumbers, broccoli, celery and cauliflower and my meat for dinner was a cooked venison hot dog. Some blueberries for dessert.

I cut up the lamb, chopped an onion and celery. Dumped in a small container of cooked ground lamb, simmering. After I go feed, we'll feed US!

I assume everyone has a go-to chili recipe but I'll add what I'm making this afternoon. This one comes out to around 11 carbs for a two cup serving. Teresa warms some pinto and kidney beans to add to hers.
Low Carb Chili
INGREDIENTS
Brown the ground beef and drain the fat. I use an oven proof dutch oven to brown the meat then simmer it till the onions are soft
Add onion; cook until golden, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and jalapeños; cook 30 seconds, stirring until fragrant.
Add salt, red pepper, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and ground beef to skillet. Add tomatoes, and bring to a boil. Sprinkle cheese over top. Place 5 inches from heating element, and broil just until melted, about 5 minutes.

Well, we blew it today. Thursday is our 23rd anniversary, since we were in Tyler, we celebrated early. BJ went for fried catfish, rice and beans, cole slaw and hushpuppies. I went for the cheesy grits with grilled shrimp, French bread and hush puppies. For the rest of the week I am on water and one piece of turkey lunchmeat. 
Naahhh……. I don't think so!

Happy Anniversary!!! Catfish is my weakness. There is a convenience store in Cornersville that has a little deli area and they make the best fried catfish in the county so I don't go in there.

Biscuits - I haven't been satisfied with the recipes I have found so far that were called biscuits. They worked somewhat but they just didn't seem like biscuits and more like corn muffins. I threw together a quick batch of dough this morning because I wanted a sausage biscuit for breakfast. It was nothing more than almond flour, a little salt, one egg white and one whole egg (To accommodate Teresa's lower cholesterol hunt) 3 table spoons of butter and about a cup and a half of almond flour. I mixed everything together then spooned out the biscuits on parchment paper. I cooked them for right at 15 minutes at 350 and they served the purpose for what I wanted. They held together good and were just the right size for a sausage patty.
I didn't do a nutrition breakdown but it is low carb and probably 40 mg of cholesterol.

Psyllium Husks
This does make a world of difference in almond flour bread recipes and it gives the bread more of a traditional bread texture. We can get both almond and coconut flour locally but not the psyllium husks so we ordered from Amazon. We order our spices in bulk (and vacuum seal them) from Atlantic Spice Company and have for years. I saw this morning that they now carry psyllium husks for $4 a pound less than I paid on Amazon. If you're interested in checking them out their web site is atlanticspice dot com.
In most cases their prices are as cheap for a pound of product instead of paying premium for those tiny bottles in the grocery stores. They used to have a minimum order size of $50 but looking around the site it looks like that has changed.
