2014 Atkins Induction - Day 1

Start the New Year right! Low carbohydrate nutrition tastes great!

Slow cooker "barbecue" pulled pork is easy and
makes great leftovers.

Many of you know I follow a low carb, alternate day fasting diet where I eat a calorie restricted level every other day and eat an Atkins-style OWL diet the rest of the time.

Coming to Fluffy Chix Cook for December

Christmas pre-cancer in the Fluffy House

Thought I would whet your appetites for more Fluffy Chix Cook through the month of December. I shoulda done this during November, but yeah, it's always a case of "day late, dollar short" and a little thing like plumbing leaks, replumbing the entire house and recovering from breast cancer reconstruction surgery caused delays.

The neighborhood tomcat could be identified as LAIC under their definition. The dang, huge Skippy the Squirrel could hold the LAIC name badge according to the 'boys' working definition. It's really a bit of a dubious honor here at Mid-Chapparal (See? I can't even get us qualified to be High Chapparal. *sigh*) to be declared as LAIC.

So back to the fake thing...I know it looks like I'm super organized and full of vim and vigor but sometimes I fake it 'til I make it. And I've been fakin' it a lot these days. By the

Sometimes teasing is better than eating.

with Bruschetta, Ugly Green Beans and Chile Lime Slaw

 Go ahead admit it. You like porn. Food porn that is…

Honk If You Love Food Porn!
So do I! Many would call us obsessed or doomed to failure because our life with food appears out of balance.

But I say, “Pish, posh, piffle!”
