Low Carb Lasagna

I don't think I have posted this magical recipe before. It is pretty sinful but still low carb. I made a huge batch on Saturday because I knew I would be hurting on Sunday and it would be a good way to stop mindless carb eating. This recipe uses halloumi; as I was cooking up a batch, the Kid walked into the kitchen and grabbed a plate of fried halloumi off the counter and took it to the sofa. I called out to him that he might be disappointed. I waited patiently and waited for the exaggerated gagging and loud "BLECH", usually reserved for carrots and his week old cookies. Instead he declared "MMMMMM!!" and proceeded to eat half a plate. I have to say, I was kind of impressed. He also loved the finished product and kept saying "Moooooorrreeee lasagaga". The Kid knows the way to my heart.

So this is how I make my low carb lasagna; all the ingredients in a normal lasagna are the same except instead of noodles, use cooked halloumi. It holds its shape fairly well and the halloumi just gives it a little extra salty taste but otherwise - it tastes like lasagna. Go forth! Make halloumi lasagna.

I got on the scale this morning and I was down 6.6 pounds so that makes me mucho happy. I would ideally be down a total of 9 pounds by Christmas so that I can go into those 2-3 days of carbing with a happy conscience. I also hit the gym again this morning and did 30 minutes on the cross trainer with my Kindle - A Mary Higgins Clark Christmas mystery - damn straight.

I can't wait to head home and have a chill night with the Kid - the Husband is out tonight with some co-workers so I get to watch The Santa Clause on the television and eat scrambled eggs.

I'm also super excited because on Friday, the Mother in Law is taking the Kid for the night and the Husband and I will hit a Christmas market and purchase some ornaments, then go for dinner and then watch TV at a volume that humans can hear. I cannot wait!

And by the way, 1 week until Christmas Eve!

A Key Word Post

I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi...

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol". Salma Hayek naked : I have abso...

How to Dress Rich - Old Money

Image
Back in March, the Husband and I enjoyed an amazing night at the Bristol. It was a gift from my parents and probably the most amazing thing about that night was that we got a complimentary upgrade. We laughed, we danced and then I stopped and said in a serious tone to the Husband "It's cause we dressed rich an you know it." And then I danced some more and drank Moet Chandon straight from the bottle. I have class and you know it. Dressing rich is not that hard and doesn't have to cost that much. Now I am not talking about Kardashian rich (that money is the money of Satan), I am talking old school money, country clubs and drinking scotch. Here are some tips to how you can dress to look rich for different occasions (please note that this is in no way making fun of rich people, poor people or any people. This is based on observations on my part and the deep seated desperation of wanting to be a rich WASP from the East Coast. Pick me!). Dressing old school money pretty m...
