Splendid Low-Carbing by Jennifer Eloff Plays the Southern Card!

Green Beans, Bacon...Pot-Licker (or Liquor)...smells like Texas. And home.

Splendid Low-Carbing by Jennifer Eloff is a Mecca for low and controlled carbers!

I was all set to talk about Chile Lime Coleslaw, and then I saw a blog post by a good friend of mine and felt I could use my time better tellin' you about Jen and her cookin'!

Many of you may be familiar with Jennifer Eloff over at Splendid Low-Carbing, but some of you may be new comers to the low carb world and may not be aware of the incredible body of work Jen has worked tirelessly to compile over the last 10-12 years or more! So many delicious recipes both savory and sweet. Nowdays, she has a large body of recipes suitable for gluten free and even more that fit Paleo nutrition as well. 

Low Carb, Gluten Free Lemon Blackberry Ice Cream

Low Carb Gluten Free Lemon Blackberry
Buttermilk Ice Cream so good, you may
just drink the mix without freezin' it! I did... *blush*

Update Completed! Recipe Ready...

Howdy sweetie pies! Coming soon to a blog near you (here)...Low Carb Lemon Blackberry Buttermilk Ice Cream...

This is the soft serve state immediately post-churning in my oh-so-ancient Donvier Mama & Daddy gave me for my 21st birthday back in school. It's already hot and muggy in Hell, er, I mean Houston and so it was meltin' at a pretty fast clip! But it still ate good!

Looks good enough to eat, doesn't it?

Yeeehawwww! Guess how many grams of net carbs are in it per 1/2c serving?

Go ahead. Guess.
You'll never guess (unless you read the comments of the Revolutionary Hot Dog Bun post for the hint.)

See ya back here late this afternoon or early evenin' after we finish ropin' the goats and feedin' the hogs and stuff...

Revolutionary Low Carb Hot Dog Buns, Sandwich Rolls and Wraps

All Low Carb! All The Time! Hehe! Low Carb Rolls and Wraps That Will Have You Feelin' The Love!

Low Carb, Gluten Free Revolutionary Buns make
weekend fun-time grilling something to look forward to again.

Weekends felt special, growing up in our family. It seemed like every weekend,  three houses of neighbors and their bazillion kiddos got together and had a party.

The dad’s cooked something up on the grill or pit. The mom’s made great sides and desserts and through it all, our WaWa (Daddy’s mom) would solidly pitch in to help cook and also smooth the madness that was constant activity among the Gibbs family, the neighbors and kids running helter skelter. She was the running board on our sailing ship. Without WaWa, we were difficult to direct.

Low Carb, Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Lemon Rosemary Cupcakes With Sugar Free Lemon Buttermilk Ice Cream

Low Carb, Diabetic Friendly, Anti-Cancer Paleo Super Hero Goes Lemon Yellow for Mother's Day!

Low Carb Lemon Rosemary Cupcake with Sugar Free
Lemon Cream Cheese Icing gets infused with
Tart Lemon Buttermilk Ice Cream Mix - also low carb!

A funny thing happened on the way to the hot dog stand.

Remember I claimed yesterday on facebook that I would be posting the Revolutionary Low Carb Hot Dog Buns and Revolutionary Wraps today. I wanted to get that post in for you to have in time for Memorial Day grill-outs! Wahhhh! Mea culpa!

Sorry to you mommys out there where ever you may be! I almost completely forgot Mother’s Day is this Sunday.

So here’s a reminder you all! Go get your flowers and sweet thoughts and cards. Both Denny’s and my mamas are celebratin’ with our Lord this year and are too far away for our cards and baked offerings to make it to them in time, and our sock monkey boys look innocent, but their memory’s are worse than mine - so no Mother's Day cards or presents from them!  *sniff*

I interrupt this regularly scheduled Hot Dog Post to bring you the amazing. The fantastic. The one of a kind, Lemon Upon Lemon Upon Lemon Low Carb Cupcakes and Low Carb Buttermilk Ice Cream recipe – just in time for Mother’s Day! Not a spec of gluten anywhere!

Low Carb Gluten Free Soy Free Flour Tortillas

Texas! The land of Tex Mex, Tex Ritter, Boot Hill and now...the Low Carb GF SF Flour Tortilla

Low Carb GF SF Flour Tortillas make this Fauxtato,
Egg and Cheese Breakfast Taco a daily taste treat.

What if I promised you a pony?
Ok, I would like to give you a pony but your significant other would probably have my head on a platter and although low carb, it would not be good eats. Some people thrive on monkey brains, but mine aren’t so hot these days – post chemo!

So instead, what if I promised something simple?

Oh like, what if I promised you lifelong satisfaction, longevity, and a comfortable way of eating?

Ok, that still sounds a little lofty.

What if I promised you would never crave TexMex again?

Parmesan Crusted Stuffed Revolution Rolls


A Cheese Delivery System Inside a Cheese Delivery System Wrapped in Cheese!



Wahhhh! Robert Petry!

Remember when we were kids?

One of us would say, “Pretend that I’m…blah, blah, blah.”

And you would say, “Ok! Pretend I’M the mother and…”

Well, as we like to say in Texas, "This is a true story. We do hope you try this at home. No prior experience necessary - amateurs welcome."

I think this image says it all.

Don’t you?

Would you be disappointed if I tell you that although there is a “story” and there is a recipe, no corroborating photos exist?

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound?

Baked Ham & Swiss Egg Cups with Spinach Tomato Green Onion Sauté

For some reason I channeled Dr. Seuss last night – again. I blame it on the Tomato Stack...


Baked Ham & Swiss Eggs set to become
my newest breakfast obsession.


I scored a free ride on the Cheeburger Cheeburger (No-Coke-Pepsi) Express last night, compliments of Denny Crane. Truth was I was draggin’ tail and could not get the energy to rustle up some grub for Denny and the “boys”.

Oh the boys woulda been the easy part, just fling ‘em a banana and a couple of peanuts and they’re set! Sock monkeys don’t take much feedin’. But Denny is a bit trickier. Turns out all I had to do was pretend to take a package of chicken out to defrost for dinner. Who knew?! Remember that trick!

I started obsessing about yet ANOTHER image I found Verrrrrry Pinspirational! Pinteresting enough to make and to make it up on my "You Pinspire Me" Board.

And the obsession began. I obsessed about how to change it. How could I own it? How could I make it mine-all-mine!

Conclusion of the 2Week Atkins Induction Challenge

Our morning walk today. Beautiful but already
starting to feel the heat from fire! (Ahem, summer.)

Conclusions, Measurements, Assessments

I woke up this morning.

Yeah. I woke up! When you’re knock, knock, knockin’ on 50’s door, that is a fork in this Texas girl’s road that becomes increasingly important with each passing year. More so this year, because of the fight with Stage IIIC Breast Cancer. (Don’t really understand yet why I’m so insistent about putting caps to those words…hmmm. Points to ponder.)

Thanks for waiting so patiently as I get caught up here in the Fluffy Chix Roost. I’m long overdue to deliver the 2 Week Atkins Inductions results. The 14th Day ended Sunday at midnight. I kissed it goodbye, filed it under “done” and am ready to climb that ladder into OWL! Come on ladder. Feets don’t fail me now!

Although staying at 20g of Net Carbs per day was pretty easy, peasy, the part of me that is headstrong and wants what I want, when I want it, really hates being confined with restrictions. Especially now after

May 1 Giveaway Results Are In!

Tony, Zippy, Skeeter, Schylling and W2 wait impatiently.

You could smell the excitement in the air. Of course, with 5 sock monkey boys that’s no big surprise. They could hardly contain themselves, waiting for the stroke of 3 o’clock p.m.

Every 2 minutes I’d hear, “Is it time yet?”

“Mom, is it time?”

“Are we ready to draw?”

And of course there was the usual competition for “shotgun” position. Every one of them wanted to be the one to draw
