Finally, a way to cut back on carbohydrates and have your ice cream, too! You see, I have this romance going on with ice cream. I won’t give it up for very long. That’s why each time  I would start a low-carb regimen, even though I was doing well, I would quit a few days later. I really missed ice cream. This yummy low-carb fudgsicle dessert hits the spot!

A sugar-free fudge bar/peanut butter combination may sound familiar, if you’ve been a South Beach Dieter. They have a version of it that tastes very good but all of the ingredients are blended together. I’ve adapted the recipe to be more like an ice cream sundae.

Brussel Sprouts – Best Recipe Ever!

I love brussel sprouts but steamed brussel sprouts all the time can get boring. Yet, that was the only way I knew how to make them. Then my friend, Trish, came to a party with a crockpot full of pan roasted brussel sprouts with bacon. Yum! They are now my new favorite. I couldn’t stop eating them. Another little bonus for me is that it totally fits with the Atkins low-carb diet I just started!

This recipe is very simple. I would say it feeds four to six people but, honestly, you may want to double it to be sure. It is so tasty, people will want more.


Pan Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Bacon Recipe
Ingredients
1 pound fresh brussel sprouts
4 slices bacon
1/2 white onion or 2 T chopped green onion
2 T salted butter
pepper to taste
Directions
Wash the brussel sprouts and drain them. 
Cut them in half.
Panfry four slices of bacon on medium-high heat.
Remove them from the skillet and save for later.
Add butter to the bacon fat in the skillet and melt it.
Shift the heat up to high.

Add the brussel sprouts and onion, with the sprouts “flat side” down.
Stir them for about 8 minutes until lightly brown.
Break up the pieces of bacon and add back into the pan.
Sprinkle with pepper to taste. 
Serve immediately.
Serves 4 – 6 people, maybe. LOL.

This brussel sprouts recipe goes with lots of main dishes. I particularly like it alongside beer marinated chicken. (pictured above)

I’m losing weight—FINALLY!!!  Took me a while to catch on but with the help of my sister (in-law) who has lost over 50 pounds, and my brother who has visibly lost weight, as well, I realized that I had to go low-carb.  

Sue is following the Medifast program very, very successfully  She looks gorgeous. Seth is doing a version of Atkins and sometimes Carbohydrate Addicts diet for the occasional night out.  I decided to do a true Atkins induction phase to start with. Four pounds off and loving it.  The Atkins bars and shakes are helping me with my “thing for sweets”. It makes it very palatable (pardon the pun).

Today I was running low on choices in the frig so I fried up some bacon (in the oven) and made this great, low-carb, totally satisfying salad for lunch.

Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Salad
Ingredients
Iceberg Lettuce, chopped
Tomato, cut into small wedges 
Swiss cheese, cut into squares
Bacon, cooked
Mayonnaise, 1-2 T
Directions
Cut up lettuce in bite-size pieces
Slice tomato into wedges
Break the cooked bacon into pieces that can be handled on a fork.
Cut Swiss cheese into squares.
Arrange the tomato, bacon and cheese on top of the lettuce.
Dollop mayo on top.
Enjoy!!!
The carbohydrates are in the tomato. 
1/2 medium tomato is approximately 3-4 carbs.
