Playing the Game of Booby-trap

My grandkids know there is a closet shelf with a little stash of old-school vintage games at Grandma Cindie’s house. When they were younger, we’d play some of those games together when they came to visit. In those days, it didn’t seem to matter that my games weren’t played on a device or a big screen. It was the time spent together enjoying one another’s company that mattered. Of course, it didn’t hurt if grandma had freshly baked cookies or a favorite snack on hand.

A Keto Peanut Butter Waffle!

I wrote about my enjoyable experience making (and eating) savory chaffles here. These small cheese and egg waffles turned out to be a good replacement for anything that usually needs a bun. I don’t make them very often, as I am getting used to (and enjoying) eating my hamburgers without a bun.

With that yummy experience as my inspiration, I decided to try a Peanut Butter Chaffle next.

Oh. My. Yum!

In the event that you’d like to try them too, here’s the recipe from Paula Kish at Low Carb Revelation. I put a dab of butter and a drizzle of sugar-free syrup on mine. They made for a very nice breakfast and will definitely be on my menu again in the future.

Protein Peanut Butter Waffles

Hello. My Name is Cindie,

…and I’m a recovering sugar addict.

Last week I shared a bit about my experience with eating a ketogenic diet. I received encouraging comments and a few private messages in response to my first post, “Hello. My Name is Cindie, and I’m a sugar addict.” Link to original post

In that post, I shared a link to a YouTube channel that was really helpful for me. Dr. Ken D. Berry’s YouTube channel provided me with information about why someone like me, who is insulin resistant, should think about following this way of eating. I found his insights valuable and appreciated how he explained the science behind how this diet could benefit someone with pre-diabetes.

Today, I want to introduce you to Paula Kish at Low Carb Revelation. Her channel is my almost daily source of help and encouragement when it comes to the daily practicalities of following a ketogenic way of eating. I was drawn to Paula and her channel because she began her keto journey two years ago for many of the same health challenges that I face. Her husband Ed joined her in this dietary lifestyle and often pops in on her vlog posts. Most recently, Ed is going through a healing journey following a horrendous motorcycle accident. Seeing how their diet has helped in the healing process has been truly informative and inspirational.
