You'll FLIP Over Lowcarb Pizza!

The Low-carb Cook's Nook is Goin' Italian with
PIZZA!PIZZA!

According to an American Dairy Association random sampling survey,
pizza is America's fourth most-craved food,
behind cheese, chocolate and ice cream!
And we have low-carb versions of them all!

So what part of the pizza tastes so good?
Honestly, now.. is it the crust?
Not really... it's the stuff ON the crust!
There are many ways to get that PIZZA! PIZZA! taste
without flour in the crust.

Like what, you ask?
Check THIS out... Cleochatra's take on pizza crust:

Make sure it's not just cheese & meat... here's a song about that!

In the Event of Emergency...

The Low-carb Cook's Nook Presents...
In The Event Of Emergency...

Can You Still Low-carb??
Well, how bad IS it? If you're digging or swimming out of a massive hurricane like Katrina, if you're roofless or homeless,
if you're snowed in and the power is out,
then survival *now* is your #1 priority
& you have much bigger problems to deal with than carbs.

But how can you PREPARE AHEAD for emergencies?
Be it EARTHQUAKE (where F00D Angel lives)... HURRICANE (where FOOD Magic lives)... BLIZZARD... TORNADO... FLOOD... FIRE... MUDSLIDE... TSUNAMI... or any kind of disaster...

HOW DO YOU PREPARE?
The first time we talked about this topic was the fall of 1999 and the subject was "What IF y2K really is a disaster!?!?!
Thankfully, things turned out fine, but there was a lesson there...

The last three years here in the Magic Kingdom (Central Florida), things weren't as bad as The Weather Channel predicted, but who knows what we have ahead of us?
No matter where you live, there is some kind of weather disaster that can occur... BUT THE PREPS ARE MOSTLY THE SAME:

Food that stays without refrigeration. water supplies. how-to-cook-without-power. portable potables.
If it's at all possible, stay on your WOE... you will feel better & stronger, and be better able to deal with the stresses.

SO don't forget batteries, remember to pack your cooler, hunker down...

The Frugal Low-carber

Dear Low-carbers.

The cost of food has REALLY skyrocketed in the last few years, partly due to rising fuel costs. And now we don't have rice and beans and
macaroni-and-cheese to stretch the budget anymore.

What is a low-carber to DO?
We know it's not all steak and shrimp and bacon...
But there's a limit to what you can do with hamburger meat, canned tuna, and chicken quarters.
Or is there??

Join us this week for tips and shopping ideas,
as well as recipes for low-carbing on a shoestring! Magic is on the East Coast and Angel is on the West Coast and we have chatters everywhere between and more... the more people who come to this chat, the better we will be able to help each other with tips on where to find the best bargains.
