    Admire your diligence Steve, I do try and cut carbs, but guess I am worn out all it entails to make a meal of any kind nowadays. Like reading your menus.

    Thanks Hedi... I also am getting up in years and am having some difficulty in cooking a good meal like I used to do.. Carbs are not necessarily my big thing since I had 2 open stomach operations a few years ago, but I still watch them to keep my weight level..
    I am still at the 175 pound mark after a few years..
    We eat fish at lest 3 times a week.. Chicken a few times a week.. Minced (chicken or turkey) in different ways a few times a week.. Almost never red meat and absolutely NEVER pork or ham..
    My method of cooking is getting simpler as time goes on.. No more fancy meals.. Just plain wholesome good food..

    Breakfast is
    Oatmeal, cinnamon, Blueberry's, Strawberrys, yogurt, frozen coconut pure fruit bar, strawberry pure fruit bar.


    Steve have you tried brown rice and eggs. I cook for Jake and I. Much of mine is low carb.
    I use lots of eggs for protein to workout.

    2 cups brown rice, 8 eggs,
    1/4 c onions.
    Sauté eggs in lots of butter, pour in eggs, scramble then add rice.
    I also add hot sauce.

    I eat a lot of coleslaw full of carrots. Steve thanks for reminding me about the steamed carrots, time for us to have some.
    Grocery shopping today they had chicken thighs starting at $5.99 breast even more. I bought 4 wholes Green Wise chickens at $2.49lb. I'll cut them up and save lots of money on meat.

    Marie......... WOW !!! ... Where are you that you pay $5.99 for thighs?? I buy chicken thighs boneless and skinless for $2.79 a pound and B/S breasts for $3.99 a pound... Drumsticks, legs, or thighs with skin and bone is $1.99 a pound... I find that a bit expensive...Minced chicken or turkey is $2.49 a pound (450g)...
