Certified Pretend Chef
Some time ago SO decided that low carb was the only diet that worked for her. I tried to convince her that all she had to do was eat less, rather than turning her back on an entire category of foods.
The reason for the title of the thread is because it significantly impacts my menus for dinners. Just yesterday I was planning meals for next week and beyond. High on the list were things like pizza, lasagna, chicken and rice casserole, hash brown skillet, etc. Cross all that off now, too many carbs.
I have no problem eating meats and selected veggies for dinner. I can easily skip having potato/rice or just making one serving if it's a side dish. But when I have to eliminate entire recipes it really irks me because I crave them. And I crave them even more when I can't make them.
So she gave two days warning so she can have a last fling before she starts on Monday. Pizza tonight. Maybe Hungarian goulash over egg noodles tomorrow.
I guess I'd better make myself some desserts so my carb levels don't dip to dangerously low levels.
Rant over. Don't try to help. I just needed to get this off my chest.
