When the Devil's Food Cake is whispering in one ear and the Angel's Food Cake is whispering in the other, WHO DO YOU LISTEN TO????
The Low-carb Cook's Nook Presents...Comfort Foods!
This topic is near and dear to our hearts...
How do you handle the stresses that Life throws your way? Are there some foods that you reach for, when things get rough? It's best to learn to soothe yourself with something other than food. But till you do, the next best thing is finding a low-carb version of the Comfort Foods you used to reach for!When you are dealing with a serious disaster,then you eat what you can get, just to survive.But even when the problems aren't that serious, it's tempting,during mega-stress times, to reach for Comfort Foods, even when we *could* eat on-plan.
What food comes to mind when we say Comfort Foods?This really varies from person to person... but every time we do this topic, I hear...First, chocolate... and Second, mashed potatoes and gravy...My personal comfort food is bread pudding... And my hubby's is... nachos!So what's yours? What's your SERIOUSLY TEMPTING temptation food? Come to the Low-carb Cook's Nook this week and let's see if we can come up with an LC version!While there are premade low-carb comfort foods out there, making it yourself means... (1) less sugar alcohols and other artificial ingredients, (2) you can control how many servings you make, and (3) it is almost certain to cost less.

Do you have a sweet tooth and your Comfort Foods are all sweet ones?
If so, have you thought about getting LIQUID Splenda? It's super-concentrated with no fillers and so it's carb-free. Twice a year, Kathy orders it from the manufacturer and repackages it in smaller bottles and sells it to low-carbers. She is legit... I've ordered from her myself. Write to me for more info.
Hope to see you at the Low-carb Cook's Nook Thursday night!
