I am in love with the La Tortilla Low Carb, Low-Fat Tortillas. I have now
gotten my husband hooked on them too ;) He is a sandwich type of guy, but
instead of just one sandwich, he usually want two. At 50-80 calories per
slice of bread, he's looking at 320 calories in bread alone! Now that he
has tried my new tuna melt, he is able to save the calories and eat them
elsewhere.

Wow, it has been quite some time since I have updated this blog. I swear I
have a few good excuses. :lol: But instead of hearing all of my excuses, I
will post up one of the many recipes I have been playing with over the past
few months.
I have a lot of exciting things happening right now. ONe being that I am
being featured on ifood.tv.com and will be
vlogging more often. Somedays it might be boring, but I hope that I will be
able to show the viewers how I create some of my meals, or what a day in my
kitchen is like.
I will also be launching my cookbook website later this...

immediately thought of this recipe and grabbed a few green peppers in
addition to my other colors and headed home to cook. :D
For those of you following an LBC plan, my plan called for 100g ground
beef, 100g rice, 1 cup veggies. In order to make the macro-nutrients match,
I took 10g of rice away and added the Rotel. (1/3 can per pepper) See
recipe below.

Okay, so I wasn't always open to the idea of trying new foods. Not only was I a picky eater, I was also particular when it comes to texture. Oatmeal was a no-no, and keep cottage cheese away from me!! So as I was whipping up my cottage cheese ranch dip I noticed that sometimes it comes out more lumpy than other times. Lumps= me not eating it. :lol: I have found a little trick!! Make sure you use the right sized container for mixing. So, if you are only whipping up a cup of cottage cheese, don't use the large bullet cup. I have found that the less excess space in the container helps in whipping that cottage... read more 1 comments
