Low carb snacks?

by Going crazy!

Apr 9, 2017

On a low carb diet and I don't eat processed foods, I make everything from scratch after learning about the industrialized oils in our foods that are highly suspected in Alzheimer's. But I am craving a dessert!

Any of you exercisers have a go-to snack/dessert that is low carb and not too sugary? I don't mind some sugar as it is natural an...See More

Judy2/CA If you're looking for a sweet tooth you might like this.
You need a firm banana for each person, plain Greek yogurt
(I use FF), chocolate protein powder and chopped nuts
(walnuts or pecans). For 2 bananas I mix a half cup or
more yogurt with 1/2-1 scoop protein powder with a whisk
until it's well blended. Cover bananas liberally with...See More

ron/nj As they get so little activity, would you consider merging the GA and retired chatboards?

That's a good idea.

I'm considering consolidating the 200 or so boards down into a more coherent system, a taxonomy including "groups":

Family reunions

by Questions

Mar 26, 2017

A year or so ago there were posts about the problems that people were having--too many diet regulations or something. Was there ever a good resolution to that? Because I have been asked to head our family reunion this year (we do ours every 2 years but I have not been for 10 years due to living outside the country). My mom was going to do it but sh...See More

Jme I'd just make sure to fix enough dessert for everyone in the crowd, rather than trying to control what and how much everyone eats. Fix twice the dessert you did before. You know what they will want to eat, so this should be easy.

Do be careful about allergies. It might take just a tiny bit or even casual contact to kill someone. Two peop...See More

OP I'm ordering from a catering company and have let everyone know what the choices are--baked or fried chicken or the veggie meal.

And if they have allergies they should bring their own specialized foods. I have a tiny apartment and can't cook for 100 or so people! I am ordering chocolate and vanilla ice cream and chocolate and vanilla cupcakes and have said that if anyone else wants to provide a dessert or side dish to feel free. But most are traveling in from an hour to 8 hours away. Only a handful still live in the area. I want to keep the food simple so that the focus can be on visiting and getting to know the new babies, spouses, etc.
