Some of My Low-Carb Favorites

As I've said in a couple of my recent posts, I'm trying to go more low-carb especially in my breakfasts and lunches.

I shared about my Turkey Lettuce Wraps which I loved and today I'll share some other ingredients I have been using.

Here is the nutrition label for the Fit&Active Flatbread Original from Aldi. With a total of 7 grams net carbs, it is a lot healthier than two pieces of my healthier whole wheat bread. I ate one of these today.

I found the Perdue Shortcuts Turkey at the discount grocery store of $1.99. I like it better than their chicken! I did buy some of the chicken also, since you really can't beat the price. I also used this in the Turkey Lettuce Wraps. This short cut meat has helped me in eating the right kind of protein at lunch. I hate cooking myself a hunk of chicken for lunch. Lunch, in my opinion, needs to be quick and easy.

The Pace Picante Sauce (Medium) is our favorite kind of store bought salsa. Sams had two of these large containers for about $4.00 awhile back.

When you pair these three ingredients with some cheddar cheese, you have a delicious quesadilla! I ate this with a little leftover mashed cauliflower from last night, plus a small apple and I am stuffed!

I'm planning on trying this flatbread as a pizza and as a sandwich wrap. I'm not sure what kind of sandwich wrap, maybe vegetarian and something else. Any ideas? I love Cesar salad wraps, I would just have to go really light on the dressing.

My $100 Kitchen Cabinet Makeover!

I'm so excited to share today's post. It's something I've been working on for about 2 months, on and off. But it is finished and so today I'm sharing how we renovated our kitchen cabinets for about $100. When we bought our house in a little over a year ago, I fell in love with the kitchen just by the listings photos. UPDATE!!! Check out this post to see how I also stained my island! It was HUGE and there was about a billion cabinets. The kitchen in our old house was a pretty good size also and I knew I would not be content with a smaller kitchen. So these pictures sold me. We bought the house and moved in and I lived with the kitchen for awhile but the cabinet color was really bugging me. I liked the counter tops well enough but they clashed with the cabinets. We did not have the money to replace all those cabinets so the next decision was to either paint or stain them. I stumbled upon General Finishes Gel Stain and thought the id...

$5 Laundry "Room" Update

I don't have a laundry room. I have a laundry closet right off the kitchen. I actually love it there because it is so convenient to keep laundry going through out the day. I wish it was a little bigger and I have future plans down the road, but for now I have to keep it organized or there is just not enough room for it all! Here was the state of my closet before. Not too bad, but there were things in there that shouldn't be in there (a sprinkler??) and it just was cluttered. Not to mention plain and boring. I think I've mentioned before on here how much I love Dollar Tree. If not, I'll say it now. I love Dollar Tree! They have some of the cutest stuff! So I went there today to find some things to organize this with. Here's what I came up with. I bought the 3 aqua colored baskets today and the green and gray tray I was already using. I wiped everything down and got to work. This is what it looks like now. The two hanging ...

Thrifty Thursday-Marked Down Bread

Today I am sharing a tip that I use to stretch my meals out a little. I buy marked down Italian bread loaves in the store bakeries. I bought this loaf for $.72. It was only $1.00 to begin with but $0.28 is $0.28! Plus that's not the only savings you get with this. I love those boxes of frozen garlic toast that are about $3.00 for 6 slices!!! That's crazy. But sometimes, I just really want some bread with my meal. So I slice up the loaf and portion it out in 4 pieces per bag. I then put all the individual bags in one big freezer bag and freeze. When it's time to eat, just pull out a bag. They thaw quickly. I spread softened butter on each side and sprinkle with garlic salt. I sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and sometimes I add Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375 for about 7 minutes or until they reach the desired crispness. With those other boxes coming in at about $0.50/slice, these are so much cheaper!!
