Now Accepting Applications for Volunteer Guest Blogging Posts For the Next 5 Weeks!

Fluffy Susie T. with her lovely 24/7/30 companion--
aka lymphedema bandages.

This is what I get to do the next 4-5 weeks, 24/7. It's called manual lymph drainage (massage) and lymphedema wrappings. As you can imagine, it's extremely difficult to maneuver around the kitchen and takes even longer to type one-handed--or rather, 1 handed and 1 pointer-finger. So this is an opportunity and a favor I'm requesting, from all my buddies in the blogosphere! Lymphedema is a huge inconvenience and takes life-long attention, but I am blessed that the surgeons were able to get all the nodes out of my left arm, because there were 14 of the little bastages out of 34 that had active cancer in them, and they've given me a longer life. Sure it has it's moments, but I live to love my family and friends and I'll take that.

Leeann is the creator and cook extraordinaire of Cut The Wheat Ditch The Sugar, a spectacular low carb blog that you simply must visit. And visit often!

Rockin' Radish Browns

Keto-licious brunch totals only 7g Net Carbs! Radish
Browns compliment fried eggs, bacon, turkey sausage
and Psylli Turmeric Pancakes

I believe I’ve mentioned once or twice, that Sunday brunch is a special thing between Denny, “the boys” and me. We try to cook a beautiful brunch each week as a way of having time to relax and visit, drink a few cups of quality decaff coffee, and catch up with what’s gone down the previous week and what we face in the coming week. The kitchen feels warm and inviting, the fragrances emanating from it smell divine, and time slows down. Relaxation and joy in the moment is the order of the day. Brunch is the meal I look most forward to each week.

Of Low Carb Breakfast Tacos and Psylli Wraps

Do you think a low carb, keto-approved and gluten free tortilla or wrap is a myth or worse, an oxymoron? Well, Susie T. and Fluffy Chix Cook can show you that low carb, gluten free, keto wraps ARE possible and more, taste awesome! Convenience and flavor-together again. Yippee!

(Apologies in advance--this is going to be one of Fluffy Chix Cook's long-winded posts in praise of a dear friend's Psylli Wrap, a near-perfect and dead-easy low carb tortilla and wrap alternative that is a must-have in your rotation. There are two recipes in this post: one for an amazing Egg and Sausage Breakfast Taco and the other is for my tweaked version of DocP's Psylli Wrap. So be patient. Get a cup of coffee, and come right back now, ya here? Set a spell!)

Sentimental Journey - Texas Forever

People always ask, "You Texans. Psssshhhhaw! You all act like you're the eighth wonder of the world over there. What's so special about Texas?"

Well this is a departure from our typical food posts. This is a sentimental journey and a tribute to all the members of my family from this great state of Texas, whom I adore. This was sent to me by my brother-in-law, whom I've known since I was three years old. He's really a brother, not a BIL. In fact, both of my brothers-in-law are more brother, than inlaw. But I digress.

Low Carb Asparagus Soup

Low Carb Asparagus Soup is a perfect low carb, keto side.

People often assume cream soups are heavy; big calorie and carb-bombs. But that couldn’t be further from the truth with this easy and delicious, Asparagus Soup. In 35 minutes or less you can whip this soup up and hold it until you’re ready to serve dinner, or make it ahead and serve it chilled.

Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie - Deconstructed

a Mozzarella Stuffed, Parmesan Crusted
Revolutionary Roll just cuz we can)!

We grew up eating Southern comfort food. I am a product of my upbringing. I adore creamy, comfort-y food. It may get boring to you guys that FCC doesn’t post as many “Mediterranean,” “clean-looking,” “healthy-looking,” “light dishes.” I cruise the diet sites and think, “Wow, those are beautiful dishes, I should start making more of 'those'." (Fill in your “those” blank, now.)

The reality is, I do make “those” dishes now and then…mainly in the summer, when it’s hot as hades here in H-town; when we’re all sittin’ around in our underwear, fryin’ eggs on the sidewalk. Then it’s “light foods,” and salads, and Mediterranean food.

Low Carb Beefy Fauxtato Soup - MMMMmmmmmm Good!

Beefy Fauxtatoes Soup with Gruyere Cheese Croutons

We’ve had unseasonably and unreasonably cold weather this winter. In Houston, that just doesn’t happen, and it leads me to question whether or not Global Warming is just a bunch of malarkey? I won’t be distracted from my appointed rounds by politics. So let me say instead that when cold weather strikes, we strike back—with soup! Yes, my friends (all 2 of ya’s), soup is what cures the chilblains of your soul.
