🥃 🍊 Whiskey Dreamsicle 🥃 🍊
Whiskey + vanilla + orange soda? Yes please!
I can't take credit for this as a co-worker told me about it. But I did come up with the fun name. 🤣
1 oz Crown Royal Vanilla, add ice, top off with diet orange soda. Stir gently.
4 carbs from the whiskey (as long as you use diet soda).

Mixed Berry Avocado Smoothie
My kids LOVE avocado smoothies. I make them often but I changed it up a little bit today so I thought I'd share this recipe.
90g mixes berries
¼ cup sugar-free simple syrup
1 tbsp erythritol
24 oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 medium avocado
Place in a blender and blend until smooth. This recipe makes three good-sized smoothies.

New Diner for Breakfast
We
tried a new diner for breakfast today. I ordered the kids ham, bacon,
sausage, and cheddar omelettes and Samuel had tomato in his. Right after
I ordered I realized I didn't verify if they make their omelettes from
scratch with cracked eggs so I quickly found our waitress to confirm
that they do use fresh eggs. Whew! This is the biggest omelette I've
ever seen - probably 4 eggs and a huge amount of cheddar cheese ~ it was
easily 1 lb!
The reason for the fresh, cracked eggs? A lot of restaurants, particularly diner-type restaurants, have a trick to make omelettes light and fluffy. The trick? Pancake batter! They mix pancake batter in with eggs to make the omelette light and airy. But this can wreak havoc on a diabetics blood sugar, especially when they're not expecting it! So, always ask to be sure!

Kicked up margarita
My
usual margarita with muddled strawberries with 2 cupfuls (about 1 Tbsp) of Crown
vanilla. Yes, I should use a jigger, but that's just one more thing to
wash, right?
I'm unashamedly a whiskey girl and Crown vanilla is a bit higher in carbs than I usually have, so I'm pairing it with a carnivore dinner.

Spicy Buffalo Grilled Sandwich
Oh. My. Goodness. This spicy buffalo grilled sandwich was awesome!
I made air-fried chicken wings for lunch and coated them in buffalo sauce (melted butter and hot sauce of your choice). I made more buffalo sauce than we needed and as it cooled it solidified in the pan. I hated to waste perfectly good butter, so I saved it. I decided to make grilled sandwiches for dinner, so instead of coating with plain butter, I used the solidified buffalo sauce to grill the bread. I used a SmartBun so this was a 0 net carb, high protein sandwich!
I plan to keep some buffalo sauce in the fridge to use in place of butter when the mood strikes!
