I am going to bring some for my friends at work for lunch tomorrow because this makes a huge pan and its just me and the Hubby this week. Thats not Potatoes on the top ! Its cauliflower.

I also have a Dark Chocolate cheesecake baking in the oven.  I did good today.

Back to School... Almost

Its almost time for school again so in the next few weeks I will be going through clothes and buying supplies. I am also going to think of some lunch ideas for my daughter. I am also thinking about buying some special containers just for her lunch. The kids did pretty good this summer  eating well. They ate some popcorn and Grandma brought them some candy.  We also let them pick Ice cream on their own a night or two. When we went out to dinner the husband and I ate primal and they picked chicken penne and Riblets : ) This week I am going to try out a few new recipies , here is whats on the list.

1/2 cup rasberry balsamic vinegar 

1/2 light olive oil

The Ice Cream Experiment

Finally after 2 months of not losing anything I finally lost another pound! The hubby is doing great too !  We have experimented with Ice cream the last few days. I made some coconut mint choc chip Ice cream and It was okay. I am not a big fan.  We tried butter pecan and raspberry . I used a recipe that called for eggs half and half and whipping cream. My husband liked the butter pecan , the kids and I did not like either.  So last night I tried to make my bag ice cream but in the ice cream mixer. I used half and half , stevia, pureed strawberries and vanilla.  That was the best one so far.  I am not sure if it was the eggs or the whipping cream in the previous recipe that we did not like.  I would like to try a paleo version of chocolate chip cookie dough for the kids before they go home.  This week I plan on making Berry Almond chicken salad, chicken Parmesan and Chicken and Gravy. For dessert I am going to make a Bavarian Apple Cheesecake. Check back this week for the recipes and pics !
