Pork Rinds...who knew?

So while starting full boar into the Atkins eating lifestyle again, I needed to research some new and exciting recipes. I came across a website that is awesome. As I was skimming down the list of new ideas I came across "Grilled Cheese" sandwiches. Just like that, in perentheses and all. So I clicked on it and the main ingredient was PORK RINDS!! Oh yeah! I don't mind pork rinds. I think they are delectible. They are so acceptable in this diet because they have 0 carbs! To make the grilled cheese sandwiches you meed to crush the pork rinds in the food processor. Kind of down to a consistency of a graham flour. As I'm feeling the pork rind flour I get the thought that this is a new and astounding find!! I could use this flour to make pancakes, crusts, tortillas, muffins. The list goes on and on! So this morning I made pancakes and they turned out delicious!!! I just mixed 1/2 cup or pork rind flour in with 2 eggs, 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and some spledna. Then I covered the pancakes with sugar free maple syrup and lots of butter. Melt in your mouth! Way better than the soy flour pancakes I was making! Tomorrow I am going to try and sugar free cheese cake with the pork rind flour as the crust. I'm so excited!

Summer

WoW! What a great summer! I promised the kids a great summer and they got it! We are on a tight budget so I plan things that don't cost much. If it weren't for gas prices we'd be on so many adventures. But, we have managed to go exploring almost every day! We have been cliff jumping, rock climbing, Geo tracking, swimming, swimming and more swimming. Right now the boys are enjoying a week as Scout camp. I can't believe how fast the summer is flying by! We are already into August! Fair is coming up shortly. I believe we are shipping the kids down to Utah for a week to spend with the relatives in down there. But once they get back it'll be time for school close shopping and then the first day of school already! I've been busy at work and Kyle's been busy with his theatre group "Basin Community Theatre" and his accapella group "Shades of Blue". They've been striking up quite a few performances around the community. He's loving it. As for me I've been doing quite a few cakes. I've been able to team up with a local photographer and have been showcasing cakes for her new sessions called "Cake Smash" session where 1 year olds demolish their first cake and get it captured on film. Here are some pictures
