Good for you, the low carbs work, but yes they are rough to fore go. DH lost 30 pounds on this diet and no longer needs to take blood pressure meds! It helps if you are a good cook. We have had some really great meals!
It usually freezes well, freeze some for another meal or two. Nice to have on a hectic day.
It was really fun to cook/manage a meal for 1000. If memory serves, we had 23 stoves in play (think dorm room), a custom made grill and a dozen or more grills. I really wondered where Jerry got that ham from (took a custom grill to cook it) til the investigators showed up looking for the commander's ham. Oops, I know nothing!
Soon to be 65 with a middle tire and 5'4"...guess I'll fit in somewhere.....No, NO!! I have to be one of these clubs and ya'll keep leaving me out cause I am too old.
Been cooking for 2 since 2006...but can in quantity for the army of family.
DW did well on Atkins but she is really committed to her carbs. I'm kind of a meat guy and way less interested in carbs--but found hauling water and feed to the birds to = massive weight loss. I've been riding a desk for more than 20 years. Exercise (kiki that doesn't come from a vid) is good.
I apologized for not downsizing it, and told her it freezes good. This is kind of crazy. I can do math. I cut a recipe down to 2 people, taste and its not right. Adjust, adjust, adjust and when up to a meal for 6 or 8, it tastes just right. ARG
NanaKat, you already fit in, so interesting the more we chat the more I realize how alike many of us are. Maybe WE are the american norm!!!
And of course we are including potato chip.
We do that too, add something to turn some leftovers into a full meal!! Hate to see waste, even though leftovers can always go to hens.
