The theme for today is MEATBALLS.

I know I talk about these meatballs a lot, so I thought I’d show you.

The recipe is from the fabulous Linda Sue at Linda’s Low Carb Menu’s and Recipes.

I do a few things different from miss Linda though: extra dry mixed onion, some onion powder, italian seasoning and 3/4-1 cup shredded Parmesan. I also don’t rinse them- I use a roasting pan, so the grease just goes to the bottom. On average, it takes mine 18-20 minutes at 375 to make. And I’m completely addicted to the Kroger Private Selection Vodka Cream Sauce. It had some of the lowest carb counts of any of the pre-made tomato based sauces in the store, and I love the cream flavor that cuts the acidity of the tomatoes.

So, what’d I eat today?

B: meatballs! coffee with cream.
L: grilled chicken salad with ranch dressing. Small chili with cheese. Venti black eye with heavy cream.
D: meatballs!

Jan 5:
B: nothing. Ran super late to work due to people not knowing how to drive in a little snow.
L: 1 jr. bacon cheeseburger (no bun or lettuce or tomato), side salad with ranch dressing, small chili with cheese, small diet coke. Got a venti black eye with heavy cream on the way back to work.
D: Went to Ramseys with Lizzie and got lemon yogurt chicken breasts with a side salad with ranch, broccoli and greens. I also ate the corn bread piece and 3 packs of saltines. And had a Michelob Ultra.

Jan 6:
B: Just coffee with cream (trying to bring it from home- my Starbucks habit is way too expensive)
L: small chili with cheese, double with cheese, no bun or ketchup. Side salad with ranch. Venti black eye with heavy cream
D: low carb italian meatballs in vodka cream sauce. My current favorite.

(sorry this is posting late- scheduled posts aren’t working in WP2.9. I need to fix this)

B: venti black eye with heavy cream, piece of mountain crunch LC bread
L: large chili with cheese, 1 jr. bacon cheeseburger without bun or lettuce (ate the tomato), 1 piece mountain crunch bread. 1 cookie. Bad. Bad. Bad.
D: .7 lb of seared tuna steak and 1 piece mountain crunch bread with pimento cheese

I know, I have a problem with the mountain crunch bread. It is so good though, and so filling since it’s full of tofu, flax, sunflower seeds and more nutty goodness!

The holidays have taken over and I’ve been away from the computer, so my food diary has been non-existent. My dad has come in from Nebraska and my sister has come in from California, so my time has been spent with them.

For Christmas eve, I ate pretty well, until dinner came:
B: 2 pieces Mountain Crunch bread from Great Harvest with pimento cheese. Coffee with cream
L: large chili with cheese, 2 jr. bacon cheeseburgers without buns or lettuce or tomato.
D: Christmas eve is when we did Christmas with hubs’ family. I ate turkey and ham, smoked pork, faux-tato salad and low carb broccoli casserole. The problem came with cookies. I don’t know why I felt such a huge urge to have cookies. They weren’t even the most fantastic cookies in the world- oatmeal. I didn’t want chocolate chips or anything, just oatmeal. I had 3 small cookies and 1 chocolate peanut cluster. Bad. But I didn’t let it derail me and throw me into the pumpkin pie, ice cream and other delectable goodies.

B: coffee with cream
L: smoked pork leftover, some fauxtato salad
D: vegetarian chili, ham sandwich with leftover ham and Mountain Crunch bread from Great Harvest. Nom nom.

12.26.09:

B: 2 pieces Mountain Crunch bread, toasted with cream cheese. Coffee with cream
L: leftover ham
D: leftover chili, ham sandwich on Mountain Crunch bread, some turkey

Seriously stressed that it’s almost Christmas. Tomorrow is hubs’ family Christmas with his family, and my dad gets in town on Christmas Day. Need to clean house!

B: 2 thin slices crunchy bread (I think it’s actually called Mountain Crunch from Great Harvest. Yesterday I called it Harvest Crunch. Whatever. It’s crunchy, low carb with flax seed) with some homemade pimento cheese. Venti black eye with heavy cream
L: next to nothing. I got the toppings off a coworkers small piece of leftover pizza. Too busy to escape for lunch today
D: small chili with cheese and 2 slices crunchy bread with pimento cheese. And 2 jr. bacon cheeseburgers, no buns, lettuce or tomato.

B: leftover lowcarb meatballs, venti black eye with heavy cream
L: chicken salad on 2 thin slices of Great Harvest Harvest Crunch bread (low carb with flax), chili with cheese, large diet coke (I need to resist the diet soda- I hadn’t had it for months and now it’s slowly creeping back into my diet. pure laziness on my part to not go to the water fountain. No excuse)
D: 1/2 bowl of vegetarian chili with a chicken breast mixed in

Also ate chocolate CarbSmart ice cream. Not good for me. But better than regular ice cream. *sigh*

Been slacking on posting my eats lately. I don’t think anyone reads them, but I post them more for accountability to myself, so that’s no excuse.

B/L: low carb meatballs in vodka cream sauce. So good! Venti black eye with heavy cream from *bucks

Went to see my friend who just moved back to Louisville, so on the drive home, ate some buffalo jerky. What can I say? I was hungry.

D: I had made vegetarian chili for hubs (who is not a vegetarian, but loves it), so I had a little with 2 chicken breasts cut up and mixed in.

I might have some low carb ice cream later tonight. Vicious cravings for carbs lately.

Well, unfortunatley I’m feeling a bit under the weather. Just a twinge of a sore throat and pretty tired. Hopefully I’ll pep back up soon!

B: 2 slices of harvest crunch bread (flax and whole grain from Great Harvest) with natural peanut butter (with flax seed oil and hemp in it) Talk about fiber.
L: 2 jr. bacon cheeseburgers (no buns), large chili with cheese from Wendy’s and a venti black eye with heavy cream from Starbucks
D: meatballs!

Recipe: Meatballs! (I don’t take credit for these- I think they are from Linda Sue’s wonderful site)

Mix together thoroughly: 1 lb. ground beef, 1 lb Italian sausage, dried minced onion (I use lots) and garlic powder (again- can you ever have enough?), 1/2 shredded Parmesan cheese and 2 eggs. I bake on a roasting pan so the fat goes away and I don’t have to worry about it. 375 for 18-20 minutes. I eat it with a low sugar marinara and some melted mozzarella. Nom nom!

Eats | Week of 11.16.09

I’ve been in Atlanta all week for work, so my Eats haven’t gone here. Not that I think anyone cares or necessarily reads them, but I put them here so that I can personally look back at my food trends to see how they might be affecting me.

Monday: no breakfast, venti black eye with extra cream, chili with cheese and 2 jr. bacon cheeseburgers. For dinner, went out with 2 lovely ladies and had a kick ass ribeye with sauteed mushrooms and spinach.

Tuesday: no breakfast, some coffee. Panera standard for lunch: 1/2 greek salad with chicken, large bowl of broccoli cheddar soup with a piece of whole wheat baguette. Dinner was an omlette from the Cheesecake Factory- avocado, mushrooms, cheese, cream cheese, 2 slices of wheat toast with butter and a piece of low carb cheesecake with strawberries. Nom nom!

Wednesday: no breakfast, some coffee. I grabbed some chili with cheese and 2 jr. bacon cheeseburgers without buns from Wendy’s in between meetings. Dinner was from Maggiano’s- black and bleu salad.

Thursday: 1/2 whole grain bagel with cream cheese and coffee with cream and 2 shots espresso from Caribou Coffee. Standard Panera for lunch. Dinner was a great steak salad again (actually billed “low carb” on the menu- score!) 2 glasses of Pinot Grigio.

Fly home tomorrow. I’m ready for my feet to land back at home for a while!
