It's a rainy dismal day here in the Pine lands of New Jersey. I have what's left of a roasted chicken in my instant pot. Later when I come home from my ladies club meeting, I will add to the broth some vegetables. I don't add pasta or rice to my soups like I used to. Now I usually add riced cauliflower instead. Tonight dinner will be a nice hardy bowl of soup. Sunday I attended a Super Bowl party and indulged in some carb overload, I'm trying to get back on track.
I don't deprive myself of foods that I love occasionally. Back when I first started Keto, I was much stricter and I was constantly saying "I can't eat that". I soon realized that a few slip ups here and there wasn't sabotaging me that much. As long as it's only rarely and you get back on Keto the next day. It may have slowed me down but I was happier having that piece of cake instead of sugar free gelatin. My problem is, I like to cook and I like to eat.
I think success on any diet is knowing how to balance what works for you. I try to find alternative ways of cooking things I love that are lower in carbs then the original recipe. One of the things I make is my spaghetti sauce. Instead of pasta we like spaghetti squash with a meat sauce. It satisfies my craving for spaghetti and is delicious.
I have to cut this short today or I'll be late for my meeting. Take care and stay dry and I'll see you next time. 🥰
