My size 12s seem to be falling down. A couple more lbs and I am half-way there.
Glad to hear that your pants are getting larger. That's what you want, right?
My hips no longer prevent the effects of gravity when I wear any of 4 pairs of pants bought in August.
Glad you're feeling better. From what I've heard from relatives, shingles is an experience to be avoided and/or never repeated.
The recipe sounds great. Although I could substitute a different protein, I may have to acquire a taste for shrimp!

I am going to make a primal stuffing for T Day though, it is made with coconut flour muffins, and has leeks and prochitto. And I am making a flour free chocolate cake (like truffles almost) But other than that I am just going to stick to prime rib, turkey and lots of veggie sides
I know what you mean. Sometimes it's just easier and faster to have what you really want. Who had the advertising slogan, "Accept no substitutes?"
And a flour-free cake sounds perfect! My sweetheart has made several of them in the few years I've known him and I much prefer the egg-butter-chocolate cakes to the fluffier flour ones. They're so rich and the flavour is so intense that I only needed and wanted a small piece.

The coconut oil - ghee product is convenient and works nicely when I want less of a coconut flavour. I used it today with onions and some bok choy.
I made a crockpot of beef stew (rutabaga, onion, garlic & mushrooms with some red wine) on Monday. That has been an absolute delight several evenings, especially after I thought to add a little cream to it after heating. And, I've got my daily calories up to 1500 - 1600 and fat % is averaging 50 - 60% for the last week. Where's my easy button?
