Back is better and I am ready for the weekend

I am happy to report this morning I woke up and my back feels so much better! The kids are coming for a few weeks so I am glad I will no longer be couch ridden ! The hubby helped me with dinner last night and we had some awesome burgers ! I was little worried because when you eat this avocado cream alone its very strong with lemon lime flavor . Pairing it with the sweetness of the pineapple and burger the flavors really work well together! 

If you make this recipe you will not be disappointed!

Tick Tick Tick

I hurt my back. I am not sure how but we are now on day four of pain. This morning I found a tick on me. We walked through the woods the other day at the State Park so maybe that is where it came from. The dog looks good and I have not seen anymore.  I cant be sure but I don't think it bit me.  Here is is pic.

I couldn't get him to smile for the camera.

Now lets talk about food.  I made some Primal chicken Cordon Blu the other night. 

It is very hot today so I am dreading making dinner tonight. 

Chicken Cordon Blue 

This recipe is pretty easy . I take a chicken breast , cut it thin and roll ham and swiss in it and use a toothpick to secure.  Then I roll it in egg and then into coconut flour seasoned with salt pepper and parsley. Then I fry for a few minutes in olive oil. I bake it in the oven at 350 for about 20 mins. 

Just a little Update

I haven't taken any pic's this week but I made a new dessert. Cheesecake dibs. They were very good. I even took some to work to share with the ladies. How can anyone not like cheesecake covered in dark chocolate! Since the kids are spending a few weeks with their Dad me and the Hubby have been eating salads, burgers and steaks. I think I try new recipes more with the kids so they don't get bored.  I am coming up on some more vacation time here soon so I am sure I will be trying out a lot of new recipes and posting them. I plan on buying that ice cream maker too!

Here are the cheesecake Dibs , I didn't go with her coating.. I went with dark chocolate and just dipped them. She used a special silicone pan. I used my mini cupcake pan , cooled them and then put them in the freezer then cut them into bite sized pieces and dipped and put them back in the freezer to store them.

Cheesecake Dibs - http://247lowcarbdiner.blogspot.com

16 ounces cream cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream - Sure you could use greek yogurt
3/4 cup powdered erythritol - I used Stevia

**************
1/2 cup coconut oil
3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or to taste with any combination of sweeteners)

Bring cream cheese to room temperature. Beat cream cheese and eggs. Add in sour cream and sweetener. Poor into special baking mold or use mini muffin cups. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 325 degrees.

Remove from oven and let cool. Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours. When ready to dip, first prepare chocolate coating. In a ceramic mug or small bowl, melt coconut oil and then stir in cocoa powder and sweetener. Remove the frozen cheesecakes from their pan. Using tongs, dip each frozen bite into melted chocolate mixture. Set on foil to firm up. Eat frozen for an ice creamlike treat, or eat chilled for a cheesecake treat. Either way is great! My tray makes two batches, or 48 dibs.

Why didn't I think of this 5 months ago!?

The Hubby wanted broccoli again to go with the steaks tonight. I Seriously love broccoli , but this is what came out of my mouth. ARGGH Broccoli again !  I started browsing online for side dishes to try to save my self from the steamed broccoli side dish.  I found ''loaded'' Broccoli. It seems so simple and so obvious I thought to myself why didn't I think of that 5 months ago!  I can't wait for the kids to try this out.  I tried to make us dessert but it was a flop. I attempted Oppsie pies. I should have known based on the cookie ingredients they would be nasty.  Oopsie is right.  I tried making two batches thinking the reason they wouldn't come out of the pan the first time was my lack of not greasing the non stick pan before hand. So I cleaned it and tried again. Second batch out - same problem.  So in the sink the second try sits stuck to the pan and now I don't feel like washing it again. They tasted pretty gross too.

Loaded Broccoli 

Steam the broccoli and top with chives, sour cream, cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon

You can't possibly mess this up
