I  these thingsThese cookies are so tasty--Here's the recipe........original recipe from Low Carb Friends-CaliOkieGal4Now

 

Al and Sophia Gonzalez opened their Barbacoa place this weekend. In South Texas, Barbacoa is a very popular weekend Breakfast treat. Barbacoa places are typically open only on the weekends, Saturday and Sunday.  Sophie is Danny's niece. Al and Sophie both work in the school district. Al's parents have a Barbacoa place in Corpus Christi, Texas.

I picked up some of their pork rinds (actually they gave me some)GOOD LUCK GUYS!!

I finished my 2nd You Tube on Low Carb Milk Beverage Today..............check it out! 

  My sis came to town and we went to Amanda's for breakfast. Here's a little film clip of Amanda's front yard.

 We're just drinkin some great coffee at Amanda's new house..........Happy Saturday 

These cookies are so cute. I like the lemony ones! I made little cookies by putting the dough in my mini muffin pan.

I used the same koolaid cookie recipe-just used lemonade flavor kool aid.

These cookies are yummy!VERY easy and bakes in 10 minutes.

The recipe is here...http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lowcarb-recipe-help-suggestions/562236-easy-quick-chocolate-chip-cookie.html.

I made them in my mini wilton's cake pans and they came out perfect!! I added maybe a tablespoon of chopped pecans.....I made 6 big, beautiful cookies

We went to the Pulga (flea market) Sunday. Boy, was it HOT!!! Got some cool pix.....My darlin lookin at some toolsI'm lookin at the fruit I'm next to some nice plants ...     Danny lookin at some veggies...       We plan to go back to the flea market soon. Next time, we will go VERY early...beat the heat...

Doesn't a homemade hamburger just off the grill sound good? Well, we had the BEST hamburgers for dinner yesterday-Danny fired up his new grill and I got our patties ready-using a sample of  McCormicks Worcestershire Black Pepper seasoning. YUM! We visited our closest Culebra Meat Market for our weekend BBQing. It's like the old time corner neighborhood store, with a Spanish flare. It has lots of specialty items needed when making Tex-Mex. Besides our lean ground beef, Danny picked up some beef fajitas and finger ribs for Sunday. They were delicious!

We were going to eat on the deck under our new umbrella-ella, but we actually got a little weather --light rain and wind.

 

I made a batch of kool aid cookies using cocoa and peanut butter instead of kool aid.......I added a frosting on top.....The frosting consists of 4 of the little sugar free dark chocolate candies, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons sf caramel DaVinci's--I put the chocolate in mic to melt and then stirred in the peanut butter and DaVinci's.

These cookies are chocolatey and a little dry--stillthem---next time I will use a little more butter.

I made some low carb cookies last night-made with KoolAid! They are light and crumbly. I them!

I used this pan-Amanda and Jerry gave it to me for my BD.Here's the end result-2 thumbs up.

Here's where I got the recipe  http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lowcarb-recipe-help-suggestions/560809-new-awesome-cookie-i-invented-w-koolaid-mmmmmmmmmmm-good.html. The recipe was posted by CaliOkieGal4now. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

 My, oh My.......I got so ambitious!! This is my 1st YouTube Video and I decided to do a very short one-I wanted to make sure I could do it.  I had alot of fun doing it.

I took the Zucchini Carrot Cake to our pot luck lunch at the Nursing Home today. It was a co-worker's birthday. The cake was eaten and liked.Here's a close-up of a piece of the cake.....and here's the BD boy-he said he wanted his picture on my blogHe's eating his second piece!!

I made Dana Carpenter's Zucchini Carrot Cake.  It sounded so good. I've never used hazelnuts before and I was very curious. I actually found them at HEB.That's how they look after ground up in my coffee grinder and put through my sifter.

Here's a picture of all the ingredients minus the eggs??And here is the finished productI put a cream cheese frosting on top.  After my picture, I sprinkled a few pecans on top. Here's where I got the recipe http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lowcarb-recipe-help-suggestions/308895-favorite-recipe-d-carpendars-500-low-carb-recipe-2.html#post10451778. My cake stuck to my pan!!! I made a sample cake in a Wilton's mini cake pan and it didn't stick-I'm thinking I used the wrong pan--next time I make this, I think I will use a different pan-I'm thinkin' even a square cake pan would be fine.

This is a very nice cake. I will definitely make this again.

We are going to be BBQing this summer!! Danny got a new grill for Father's Day. The assembly was a @#$%^!!My video is poor quality.......    

   This was a great day!! Jerry and Amanda moving into their new CASA and only 1.5 miles away!! It's just down the street!Looking out into the backyard and pool....    This is my 1st attempt at youtube...I used my cell phone so quality is poor---I don't know what happened to the sound...

 

 

I made 2 batches of Almond Thins- 1 sweet and 1 savory!! SO EASY!! Here's where I got the recipe at Linda's site .. http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/almond_thins.html.  I ground up my own Almond Flour.

Here are the sweet ones- I added some of my Capella's flavor drops-10 cinnamon sticy bun drops and I used Sweetzfree instead of granular Splenda. They are crisp and yummy. They will keep for weeks in an airtight container in the pantry. These are really low carb!

My savory thins baked a tad too long-but I still like 'em!! Very low carb...........

 

 

I made some yummy meatloaf. I used Kalyn's best meatloaf recipe http://kalynskitchen.blogspot.com/2005/12/kalyns-best-meatloaf.html. I did sub some flaxseed meal and TVP for the bread crumbs to make it lower carb.  This recipe is good. This recipe is simple and doesn't have many ingredients. I used my cute little mini loaf pans. This recipe made 8 mini meat loaves. I made the yummy JUST LIKE STUFFED BAKED POTATOES cauliflower recipe-oh man, this stuff is good. This made such a delicious dinner. I had some for lunch today and it was just as good as last night.

 

It is so hot here in San Antonio and we haven't had any rain to brag about.  We spent some time in the pool this evening.  I did some jogging in the water.  It was very relaxing. I hope to continue the water jogging. It feels so good. I'm gonna take my I-pod out next time and hook it up the it's speaker. I keep forgetting to do that. I enjoyed doing that last summer.  I have quite a mixture of music on my I-pod. It goes from Corinne Bailey Rae to Willie Nelson. I have alot of 70's music-nostalgia time.
