A Saucy Chat!



The Low-carb Cook's Nook



presents



A Saucy Little Chat!

The basics of our diet are pretty simple: meats, eggs, veggies, nuts, low-GI fruits, and low-carb dairy, right?We call it our WOE or WOL, Way of Eating/Way of Life.
Well, for many of us, plain old chicken or fish or beef or pork can get boring after a while.
Take a peek at this week's topic: sauces, gravies, and toppings. What can we do to perk up our meals without carbing them up? We will discuss ways and products for making and thickening gravies, recipes and food combinations that might be new to you: the tricks of getting saucy in your Low-carb Cookery!

....from Reader's Digest:The teacher in our Bible Class asked a woman to read from the Book of Numbers about the Israelites wandering in the Desert.... "The Lord heard you when you wailed, 'If only we had meat to eat," she began. "Now the Lord will give you meat. You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, or ten or twenty days, but for a month - until you loathe it." The woman paused, looked up, and said, "Hey, isn't that the Atkins diet?!?!

If your diet of choice is Atkins, there are some nifty freebie tools available at Atkins Tools - Weight Loss Tools - Atkins.com , including a carb-tracker and how-to-menu-plan. While we both embrace the Atkins way of eating, we do advise you to stick to real/whole foods and avoid low-carb "products" (including the Atkins stuff) during Induction.
