To keep you on track and inspired for what to make for tonight dinner, I found this amazing Low carb, easy recipe. Check out this CREAMY SUN DRIED TOMATO + PARMESAN CHICKEN ZOODLES from Cafe Delites.

This “pasta” is veggies masquerading as noodles but you just don’t care  when everyone in your family falls in love with you for cooking something seemingly-fancy ?? and reminds you of how good a nice big pot-o-comfort-food really is. No unnecessary ingredients. No excessive toppings – ENOUGH SAID!

Just simple, comforting, creamy zoodles with sun dried tomato cream sauce that helps people like me win at life. You can find the recipe here at Cafe Delites. Who would think you could lose weight eating stuff like this? 

A quick note about finding the right sun dried tomatoes for this recipe. Not all sun dried tomatoes are created equally! The sad, dry ones that come in a package are not as good as the ones that a are packed in high quality olive oil and herbs and spices like the DeLallo tomatoes. If you’re worried about the oil being too oily, it’s okay, you can drain it out and they still taste way better. You just get the little bit of oil but most importantly the moist, chewy texture and the flavor that’s clinging to the tomatoes, instead of dry little shrivels of color.

Oh and another cool thing is that all of DeLallo’s sun dried tomatoes are sulfite-free! Because they are awesome. Yes!

You will be really popular with your tribe… are you ready for that kind of love? 

When you’re done with all of that fun….you’ll be feeling pumped and looking so good that you’ll want to capture the moment and take some photos. So without further ado, here is How To Take The Perfect Selfie

How To Have Yourself A Holistic Halloween

Author Amy-Rose Lane

Forget about ghosts and ghouls this Halloween. What’s lurking in your kids candy bag is likely to give you a serious case of the heebie jeebies. We know that Halloween isn’t the healthiest holiday of the season, and sugar is the anti Low Carb, so hopefully this day falls on your cheat day so there won’t be so much temptation to sneak one or two from your kids bag. When it comes to trick or treating, we have virtually no control over how much candy our kids (or we) get exposed to! You know the drill. Candy leads to excitement. Excitement leads to tantrums. Tantrums lead to the dark side. 

But deny your kids the opportunity to trick or treat with their friends? MORE tantrums. What to do? Here’s How To Have Yourself A Holistic Halloween…

Set The Rules And Explain Them

Yes we can go trick or treating. No, you will not sit on a mountain made of candy like Smaug the dragon, and devour it in one sitting. Decide on the rules before the big day, and make sure everyone knows about them (including husbands, who if they’re anything like mine, cannot resist free candy either) 

Eat Dinner Early To Avoid A Sugar Crash

Blackmail your kids with vegetables before the big outing. The plan is to stuff them with healthy filler, before they have the opportunity to run amuck in candyland! It’s also a good idea to fill yourself up too – especially if you have a large brood. You don’t want to run out of energy half way through the night, and end up stealing your kids candy either!

Sugar crashes and temper tantrums should be the height of your stress. Nothing else. All Hallow’s Eve is the only night of the year that it’s acceptable to knock on the doors of strangers(aka your neighbors). Do some research, and make sure you don’t end up in the bad neck of the woods. 

Give Some Back

If you end up with multiple pillow cases stuffed with candy, consider donating some of that candy to a good cause. Operation Gratitude will send your surplus candy overseas to active military members. Now that’s a good way to give back!

Don’t Be Led Astray By Pinterest

The Internet is rife with Halloween pinterest fails! The last thing you need on Halloween is to be up to your elbows in a half-sewn costume, or trying to pull together an elaborate recipe. Save yourself the stress, and head to the store in advance! I got the cutest Knight costume for my sone from a thrift store for $12 that looks brand new! 

Consider Toys Over Candy

TOO MUCH SUGAR FAIRY

For parents who have a child with diabetes, Halloween can truly be a nightmare. On the other hand, you might not want to emotionally link candy with a reward. But you don’t have to punish your kid with a salad mix. Consider getting your child toys or trinkets instead of candy, so they don’t feel like they’re missing out. If you choose to stay at home instead of going trick or treating, buy some trinkets to hand out instead of edible treats. Your kid won’t be able to sneak off with anything that they’re not allowed! Check out this great website for more Halloween hacks if you’re the parent of a diabetic child. [Read more…]
