I'm feeling better than ever and off my medications for POTS! I've started doing some intermittent fasting because it comes easily. No rules or schedules or anything for me. Just knowing that condensing my eating into fewer hours leaves my body more hours with lower insulin levels.

We've been rocking the low carb recipes lately! Since my hens have kicked into overdrive we had a big ol' omelet for dinner last night. Stuffed it with SHRIMP and parmesan cheese....oh my! We made a sauce to drizzle over it (here comes the veggie part, lol) of sour cream and picante sauce. Sooooo darn good!
Today we had lots of running around to do so we stopped at one of our favorite restaurants (that we don't go to very often) and had some yuminacious crawfish! No potatoes or corn thank ya very much! The veggie part for us was a side order of grilled crabmeat stuffed jalapenos. Oh my goodness - it was delish!

Tortilla soup.
4 cups chicken stock
2 chicken breasts
2 cups diced tomatoes
2 tbls chili powder
1 tbls cumin.
2 tbls onion powder
1 tbls garlic powder
(You can use 1 onion and 2 garlic pieces, but the wife can't do those)
Salt and pepper to taste
Put in slow cooker for 6 hours.
Shred chicken, return to cooker. Low carb says not to, but we added 1 cup of black beans and 1 cup sweet corn. Add the juice of 1 lime.
Cook until everything is hot.
Garnish with sour cream and cheese

That sounds delish! I've gotta admit that I sometimes add corn to soup too. In the whole great scheme of things a 30carb can of corn in a big ol' batch of soup isn't that bad....and black beans are really healthy and full of fiber. In fact, black beans are one of the carbs that don't raise DH's blood sugar.

That tortilla soup sounds lovely. You could garnish with some cheddar shreds and cilantro too
