Chicken is something that I have a hard time cooking well, which is why I don't cook it that often... It is usally too dry when I cook it. Hopefully, with my new grill coming that will eliminate the dryness... I do well with stirfrys though...

10 2-3 zucchinis slices into 1/2 moon shapes

hey skeeweeka try cooking the turkey bacon less time. if you over cook it the turkey bacon does get a bit dry. you know what else is good, morningstar soy sausage.

I was wondering if any of you guys low carb bake? I am a huge baker (I have dreams of one day owning my own cupcake shop when I'm older and done with the music biz) I found a blog that has all kinds of low carb recipes using things like coconut flour, soy flour and xanthan gum When i reach phase two can i attempt that or should i stay away from anything baked?



Thanks Jenn....cooking it for less time did help....

Lowcarbugh...tried chicken salad and it was very good, dd even liked it...
