Eh, it's ok if folks don't abuse it. I'm not so excited about kids in general (except my nieces and nephews ARE the cutest kids ever). I'm ok - and LOVE - when a co-worker swings by with a new kitten or puppy (not allowed, but folks do it anyway.) So how can I begrudge those who ooh and ahh over a new baby? To each their…

Peanut for stir frying, olive for some salady things, coconut for baked things. I'm not too fond of olive oil overall. It's OK. I really like the flavor of peanut for stir fry, or at a lower sautee coconut. And most baked goods I've tried it in, coconut oil is a plus. I've been making flaxseed muffins in the micro -…

unsweetened vanilla coconut almond milk. Makes it all taste better. With 1 scoop Isopure zero carb vanilla and 1 T SF Almond syrup. Fruit (especially banana for some reason) is awesome. Banana and peanut flour? Mmmm.

google "low carb friends". There's a good deal of chat and recipes on those boards. I for one don't think carbs are bad... but everyones individual mileage on that statement may vary. For me personally, I've had to acknowledge I lose weight easier when keeping my carbs low (and honestly, I just feel better.) For veggies,…

Well, before you just do the straight up break up, trying taking an assertive stand when she does it next. I know, not easy, but turn around and ask her as cool as you can "Why do you way that when you know it hurts my feelings?" See if a dialog can happen. If not, it may then be the start of "I'm no longer going to put up…

Yeah, I go through streaks of using them. Am on a streak now... I prefer to dry fry them in a non-stick wok and add seasoning as I go (usually curry powder, or chili powder.) The ones I've been preferring lately are Konjac brand with some oat flour in them. They seem to be holding the seasoning better than the non-oat…

Seriously? Zero net carb? Erm... you will be getting almost NO veggies. Even in Atkins induction, you eat 20 net carbs and are expected to get most of those carbs from your 'foundation veggies'. I don't know that diet, but you might want to recheck that. I can't imagine a low carb diet that's actually not harmful cutting…

Says the french bakery down the road from work. :P Seriously... when you get a really NICE pastry, suddenly junk food is so totally NOT worth it. And tasteless in comparison. If I'm going to have an occasional treat, it's going to be a REALLY good one. I have the same mentality about chocolate. It at least helps filter out…

Give her congrats. Pastry is an art form. Don't confuse it with the fact that people may not have self control. It's no where like smoking... It's not like they're the crack dealers of the food world. Seriously, wouldn't you condemn ANY chef with that kind of reasoning? Because quite realistically, many things deemed…

The car trunk if you have it and the weather is ok is a GREAT idea. Just make sure it's in a SOLID sealable plastic container. Otherwise... critters always find a way. If you have a locker at work, and it doesn't break policy, keep what you can in there. If you have a close, understanding friend who lives nearby, that may…

If you're an oatmeal fan, google over night oatmeal. Fun in a jar, make it the night before in a few minutes, eat on the jars the next few days (cold.) My current fav uses peanut flour, unsweetened vanilla coconut almond milk, chopped dried (not sweetened) banana, rolled oats, stevia, maybe some unsweetened yogurt if…
