Back from Vacation

I haven’t had a chance to post anything new since I pushed this over into a live website.  I thought that I might work on it while I was traveling, but instead I just went and enjoyed my vacation like I didn’t have a care in the world! 🙂  I had an absolutely outstanding time in Brisbane, Australia with my talented athlete of a daughter, Savannah.  The picture with the Kangaroos was taken at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.  We were there for a Track & Field invitational that included athletes from the USA, Australia, and New Zealand, and she snagged 3rd place in Javelin for her age group with a throw of 110’5″.  Needless to say, I am pretty proud of my girl!

While I was gone, I followed the Keto plan about 85-90% but I definitely cheated a bit, and was absolutely starving on the flight home, so I ate most of what they served anyways.  More planning is definitely required for travelers on Keto, and it was hard to find my healthy eating choices when we were all served the same meals which were often pasta, pizza, or something on a bun.  I also was not going to miss out on the Aussie Burger at the Hard Rock Cafe (or pay the price of their steak LOL), but I did skip the bun and all but a couple of the fries there.

I was happy to get home, be in my own kitchen, and be able to get back to cooking up my Keto creations.  I went a little wild the first few days cooking some of the foods I had been missing and a couple I had been wanting to try out.  Lasagna, cheesecake, cole slaw, cheesy biscuits (later turned croutons), and cheese and shrimp stuffed mushrooms to start with.  I have a friend on Keto that gave me the tip to use pork rinds for breading (thank you, Richard & Leona Lambert!)  Of course I had to try that, so I made up a batch of fried zucchini last night for a quick snack.  They were good but I want to work on getting the breading to stick evenly to the zucchini.

I’ll be getting some recipes up and posted soon, but I wanted to drop an update in the meantime.  I hope everyone is surviving the heat!

Sincerely,

Sherry
