Trying to get serious again, after too much travel. So here’s tonight’s dinner.
It must be winter because it’s casserole time again. This one is Chicken Alfredo. Frank gave it high marks, so I’ll make it again

I love all these recipes, unfortunately Bill won't eat cauliflower. But the good news is that the above recipe says broccoli substituted for the cauliflower works just as well. It looks delicious and I've saved the recipe to try. Thanks @chrissyDee

I am starting to seriously look into this. Does anyone have a good website to determine your daily carb limit?
I found thia recipe which looks great if you like Reuben’s.

There is a ton of information on the internet. I would just limit my carbs to 20-30 grams a day to start. I track my food on an app on my phone called Lose-it. It has a My Day tab that keeps track of calories and nutrients by fat, carbs and protein grams. Also tracks activity. You need 70% fat, 25% protein, 5% carbs in your daily food intake. It's not the most accurate but it's free and can get you close. Think there are other apps that do this too.
Make sure you keep your electrolytes up because some people get headaches when first withdrawing from carbs.
If you have Pinterest there are charts there that list the carbs in foods and which are keto friendly. I get recipes there too. Also tons of YouTube channels with great advice and recipes. Also pages with great recipes on facebook. I can share some of my favorites if you are interested let me know I will send them to you. It's okay to have "cheat" meals/days once in a while just get right back on it.
That is what has worked for me. If you have any questions you can post them here.
We love reubens. Thanks for the recipe!
In an effort to get back to keto eating, here is dinner last night...NY strip steak and snap peas over riced cauliflower.
Lunch was cauliflower mash and smoked turkey. Dinner will be a black and blue steak salad.
I made these stuffed sausages tonight good and easy with a side of green beans

While you doing all that cooking, you might get thirsty. Here's something new to try:
JANUARY 2019: Bloody Maria
Tired of the traditional Bloody Mary? Try it with a twist! Instead of vodka, Bloody Maria is made with tequila and Mexican beer, and it’s the perfect pour for tailgating or watching the game.
Bloody Maria cocktail
INGREDIENTS
4 oz. Bloody Mary mix
1 oz. blanco tequila
3 oz. Mexican beer
1⁄2 oz. lime juice
Bloody Mary rimmer
Your favorite Bloody Mary garnishes (e.g., olives, pickled vegetables, jalapeños, etc.)
Hot sauce (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Wet the rim of your glass with a lime wedge or water, then dip glass into rimmer. Fill glass with ice and pour in Bloody Mary mix, lime juice, tequila and Mexican beer. Add hot sauce to taste, if desired. Stir well, then garnish with your favorite Bloody Mary toppings.
There is new research out that tequila is the only alcohol that will not jack your blood sugar. The human body cannot break down the sugar from agave so it discards it. No, I'm not kidding.
Should have noted that the tequila must be from 100% agave. The cheap stuff doesn't work the same.
