Gave up and went to the Dr.

I've had this nagging stopped up ear for almost a month. It isn't painful, but aggravating and interferely with my life, personal and professional. The young female Doc
had the staff flush out my ear (painful) and then took another look at my ear (more painful!) and prescribed some antibiotic ear drops & nasal spray. Told me to continue taking my claritin and to also take Sudafed 2x a day. She then told me, if it's not better in 2 weeks, go to an ENT!!
I'm keepin my finger crossed that this works................

Cool Front Coming Through

We're finally supposed to be getting some cool weather!! Isn't that great?
We had a hard day-attended Miranda's funeral. I'm 52 years old and have never attended the funeral of a baby. So incredibly sad.

It's been one of those days

 I had a frustrating Monday. Things didn't seem to go right.  Let's hope tomorrow is better. 
 
I wanted to come home and bake something low carb. I had very good intentions----but that didn't work out. Tomorrow evening we will be going to a funeral, so no baking tomorrow either.  Our niece's sweet little angel baby girl passed away.

Holidays are just around the corner

I've bougth all the Halloween candy. I've been bargain shopping and I've gotten some really good deals. I've started playing the drug store game at Walgreens and CVS.........it's buying what's on sale with coupons and taking advantage of the stores rebates and rewards, while spending the least amount of cash. 
 
 With Halloween in 2 weeks, I've been thinkin about the holidays. Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  It could be very easy to slip into the old way of eating. I want to continue on the low carb path and I know it's gonna be hard. I did okay last year. I just can't believe it's been another year.

A tip for Discover Card holders

My daughter reminded me about Discover Cards offering this type of rebate. Sign up for it and you get 5% back on a giftcard.
Here's the quote-

"Just use your card at grocery stores, restaurants, and on movie tickets and rentals from October 10, 2008 until December 31, 2008 and get 5% Cashback Bonus on up to $400 in purchases*. Remember, all your other purchases will earn up to 1% unlimited Cashback Bonus automatically."

I was online paying bills and noticed I was eligible for a $40 gift card and I had many places to choose from.  I decided to get a gift card for CVS and it is actually for $45 , not just $40.

I noticed that I could sign up for the %5 cashback bonus for this time period and thought this was a really good cycle because who doesn't buy groceries!! We do go out to eat too!

found a nice blog

Cruisin around the net yesterday, I found this nice blog. Wanted to share...... http://homemakersresource.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-video-chicken-leg-quarters.html.
This entry is actually a you tube on what you can do with chicken leg quarters. This makes so much sense and I don't know why I never thought of this.

Got My Order Today

new almond mealToday, after all this time of grinding up my own almond meal, I got my order for 5 pounds of Blanched Almond Flour delivered. It is simply beautiful. I decided to get this brand (Honeyville) after reading some recommendations on the low carb friends forum. Darlin Dan Red hearts those blueberry muffins and they take over 2 cups of almond flour. I was constantly grinding up almonds!! He's requesting a banana nut version.......

Sugar Free Low Carb Orange Cake

orangecakeI actually had enough energy to make this delicious orange cake posted on Lauren's Blog, Healthy Endulgences. This is a very delicious cake, with fresh oranges that have been boiled in the microwave and then pureed in the food processor. I made a regular 9 x 13 cake instead of cupcakes. This cake was ready in about 25-30 minutes. I would've made cupcakes, but I was using my muffin pan to make more of those yummy blueberry muffins.  Here's where to get the recipe, http://healthyindulgences.blogspot.com/search/label/oranges. The cream cheese frosting with orange puree drizzled on top, is a great finishing touch.orangecake2 I'm so proud of this cake! It is really good.

Chocolate Bean Cake

choccakeI made a chocolate bean cake over the weekend. I used the basic bean cake recipe, but added cocoa and cinnamin. I added plenty of pecans to the chocoate icing. It's the same basic recipe I used on my other bean cake!
