Did you know that if you cut cheese slices into 4 and bake on parchment paper at 350 for about 11-12 minutes, you get crackers!! Swiss cheese crackers with tuna salad for the win!

I also spent a few minutes whipping up some meatballs that I can pre-portion out and freeze w/spaghetti sauce. I bought a jar and don't want it to spoil before I use it. This way, I'll have meatballs in sauce ready to go! I tasted a piece of one and it was so good!!

This simple recipe makes the best meatballs that can be cooked in any way you like. So learn how to make these homemade keto meatballs that are flavorful,

In the crockpot for dinner tonight is Zuppa Toscana Soup! It will be interesting to see if I can fake out the cauliflower for potatoes but we’ll see. Willing to try anything once!

One of my biggest struggles with low carb is breakfast ideas. During the week, I just grab a yogurt to have at the office. But the weekends, I’ve been trying to make something that really hits my “I miss donuts and pastries for breakfast” pallet. 🙃

I snagged this recipe from a group I’m in. I halved the recipe. I think next time I would add some vanilla extract and some stevia or something for more sweetness. But it’s good! And the entire pan is only 660 calories and 4g carbs. I just ate 1/4 of it at 165 calories and 1 carb. I did sprinkle a little stevia on top for some sweetness.

This was dinner tonight for me AND MY BOYS. Granted, I did not eat any rice or pineapple. I did make the sauce using the juice and it went over carbs, but it was worth it as it was one dinner we all ate (and loved)!

This delicious like take out recipe for homemade Sugar Free Sweet and Sour Chicken can be made keto and low carb as well.

Yesterday was one full week on the Virta Diet. This morning, I weighed in 14.6 pounds less than where I started. Almost 4.8% of my bodyweight - gone - in one week. I'm pretty happy with that. Thanks for the support!!
