When you’re low-carbing, potato salad and macaroni salad are two of those foods that you really like, but maybe not enough to make them your weekend indulgence. So here’s something you can have during the week alongside your burgers and hot dogs.

I’ve heard a few discussions lately from parents worried about their children’s weight. Opinions ran from putting the kids “on a diet” — which I’ve already said is a bad idea for anyone — to the idea that even discussing weight with a child is a recipe for eating disorders.
I can see both points of view, and have an opinion of my own, but I want to know what you think. Take a minute to answer the question below. Even if one of the answers is pretty close to perfect for you, please don’t hesitate to say more in a comment afterward.
Loading ...I love corned beef hash. But it’s full of potatoes which limits it to a weekend-only food, and the canned stuff is usually loaded with other stuff I’m not interested in.
But it turns out small white beans work perfectly in place of the potatoes. So now I’ve got a great way to use up leftover roast beef. Winning!

Our dog, Bean, is about a year-and-a-half old. She still acts like a puppy, which is usually just fine. It used to be cute when she’d jump up on visitors at the front door (That’s not her up above, click here to see a picture of Bean.) but now she’s much bigger and we needed to stop the jumping.
Fortunately I know how to train a dog to not jump up. It starts with the idea that dogs don’t really understand the idea of “No”. [Read more…]

Ain’t that the truth.
I need to invite some friends over and make this.
[There is a video embedded in this post. If you don’t see it, come see it on the blog.]
Finally, from an online friend, there’s this.
And I think I’m losing something. I’m making grilled pizza. Homemade dough, some good sauce, onions, sweet red peppers, mozzarella cheese, and a little Italian sausage. Wife asks me what’s on the pizza. I tell her. She asks again. I tell her, again. She holds out the Italian sausage and asks what’s on the pizza. Not the sausage, apparently.
And now you damn whippersnappers are gonna laugh. Well, GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!
It’s best that I not admit how easily this could be me.
You like omelets but don’t have time to cook each morning. So make one omelet pie and freeze slices of it. A minute to nuke it and you’ve got breakfast. (Minute-and-a-half if you’ve got a low-powered microwave like mine.)

Everyone knows we should all eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Just like a hundred years ago everyone knew smoking was good for you.
Hold on, am I saying fruits and vegetables are bad for you? Not exactly. What I’m saying is … [Read more…]
Americans spend billions of dollars per year on diet pills, and the amount is growing fast: $35 billion a year in December, 2006, up to $40 billion a year by January, 2008.*
But you don’t need pills to kill your appetite, all you need to do is read about this guy Steve just before you go to lunch. You won’t be able to hold anything down. My gift to you for a Friday morning.

I didn’t used to think I liked guacamole. Then I had Lori’s and I realized I don’t like bad guacamole. And of course most people think they shouldn’t eat guac or avocados because of all the fat, when the truth is the carbs in chips are the real problem.
You can watch Lori and I make this on video if you’re unsure about the directions on the recipe card.

You know that little voice in the back of your head? The one that — when no one else is around to criticize — just can’t wait to tell you how you’re screwing up?
Yeah, that voice sucks. And it’s pretty stupid, too. At least 90% of what it says is clichés, about half is old wives’ tales. Some of it is harmless, like, “Don’t go swimming for an hour after eating.” It doesn’t really matter, but it’s not going to hurt you much if you follow that one.
Some of it though, you really need to ignore. [Read more…]
