Summer Vacation - South Padre Island

We went to South Padre Island again this year, for the third time. We really like it there and this year Karson's parents went with us. We had a lot of fun and a lot of good food.

Low Carb Pizza! Yes, you read that right.

So I found this pizza dough recipe at Your Lighter Side. The secret is using cauliflower. I didn't read the directions correctly, me-no, and accidentally cooked the whole pizza with toppings at once. You are supposed to cook crust first, then add toppings and broil. Anyways, it still turned out good and Karson loved it. I think next time I'll follow the directions and it will be even better. Karson has been doing atkins off and on the past few years and this was a great way to eat low carb. This recipe is so good that she was even on Dr. Oz and got to share her story and a few recipes. Thanks Jamie!

Memorial Day Weekend

We decided to grill this weekend. We have had a grill, but it needed to be cleaned and needed more propane. So Karson and his friend got it ready and we used it Saturday, or should I said they used it. I helped cut up everything and season the meat and while they grilled I made cream cheese stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon. Yumm! It was all really good. Thanks boys for cooking for us today.
