Time for Low Carb

By -
I really got into the low-carb diet a couple of years ago and I loved it because I could eat the things I love the most. Like all diets, the same old bad habits crept back in little by little. I've never been a big processed food person, with cabinets stocked full with cereals, boxes of processed foods, freezers full of ice cream, and bags of snack foods. But you can't start each day thinking low-carb AND then go and eat something sweet or a half of a muffin, go out and eat some french fries there, have some crunchy snack, and do that daily without the pounds creeping back on.

This is the time of year when we are faced with even more carb laden choices flung in our faces daily. It just makes me more aware of how I want to make the change back to low carb. I actually really liked eating like that. It made it so much easier to eat in a restaurant because I could narrow the menu down to a few choices instead of hemming and hawing about all the things I really wanted to eat. Even today, I went out to breakfast and knowing I was going to start a low carb life style again, I ended up ordering the buckwheat pancakes. I never get pancakes because I would much rather have an egg or an egg white omelet. I ended up trading with hubby because he got the omelet. Your mind does funny things to you!

So, back I go to my favorite eating style, Stella Style, which is a low carb way of eating, focusing on fresh foods. Tonight I through out the carb laden foods, like the Thanksgiving Day leftovers. There isn't really that much besides the stuff leftover that I made for everyone else and some white flour.

Now, on to the challenges and the joy of eating low carb again. Wish me luck.

Los Mariachis Mexican Food - Wallingford CT

Skinny Margarita Los Mariachis Mexican Food in Wallingford, CT.  This place is the real deal.  Family run, freshly made food with an in-town feel and a place to go and just relax. No hustle and bustle of corporate food thankfully!  It's a new/old favorite restaurant of ours.   The bar area has recently been repainted in darker colors and expanded into a horseshoe shape.  Much better for conversation and holds a few more people than before.  We like to go to Los Mariachis and eat at the bar for a quick, informal meal once in a while.  There is a great happy hour special Sunday to Thursday from 4 to 7PM that includes a margarita and an appetizer.  YUM!  My favorite appetizer food are the tamales.  They are so good!  They are the real thing, perfectly held together with the right consistency of a home made tamale.  You can even see the lines from the dried corn husks that held them together.  Stuffed with pork and hot or mild (you can one of each) the hot ones are perfectly

Paleo Eggplant Chips

The Farm CSA share program I'm doing at Farmer Joe's here in Wallingford, CT has been wonderful so far.  I only did the 1/2 share and I'm finding it's not enough to make it through the week.  I usually end up buying some extras like this week's eggplant.  Every week when I pick up my share there is usually a small sample of something they've cooked up with one of the vegetables from that week.  This week's recipe was Eggplant Chips and after tasting it I promptly bought some more eggplant for myself to try it out.  I think it's the first thing that didn't have some kind of sweetener added to it so I was doubly happy.  I dubbed this recipe "Paleo Eggplant Chips" since it fits the requirements.  It's basically just REAL food!  I happened to have some awesome lime flavored olive oil so that made them even more delish.  So here goes: Eggplant 1 clove fresh garlic, finely minced or sliced very thinly as shown in the photo. 1 Tb

The Essex Restaurant Centerbrook CT

The Essex Restaurant Centerbrook, CT Dreams do come true.  A few weeks ago I had a dream that I was walking through waist high water towards a small village.  Water in dreams most often means a good thing to come.  Once in the village I found myself standing inside a fish market.  There were beautiful displays of fish on all sides of the market and in the center the fishmonger was preparing the cuts of the day.   I asked for some fish and he proceeded to cut them into small perfect squares.  They were about 2 inches high, clear, translucent succulent looking pieces of perfect fish.  Since that dream I've had a craving for a piece of white fish and I finally found it here at The Essex Restaurant in Centerbrook, CT.   My husband and I love going out to dinner for new eating experiences.  We had gotten into a rut recently and had been visiting the same favorites for a while and therefore we had somehow missed hearing about The Essex.  Until this past Friday that is when
