    ever have a thought... a question... an idea.... that's not really worth an entire thread of it's own... but you want to say it? ... or ask it?

    maybe this will work here....

    after I fry burgers... I drain most of the fat from the pan.... and use the pan to 'stir fry' veggies for the next few days... green beans, broccoli, califlower.... peppers... taste SO GOOD when cooked in the same pan as the burgers were cooked in....

      I love cooking in the same pan of the previous meat I cooked...only difference between you and I though - I don't drain the grease, lol.

      I especially love cooking eggs after the bacon...makes them lighter and fluffier. Mmm.

            I put a big old bottom round roast in the crock pot this morning.... had to go away ... longer than I thought... I was afraid it was ruined... but just now... good GRIEF.... after 8 hours in the pot.... it was soooooooo good... (and the fact that I was very very hungry didn't hurt either)

              The first time I cooked a whole chicken in the slowcooker I left it on high all day and when I returned it was the moistest, falling off the bone chicken I have ever eaten!!
              Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
              Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                Oh, I love chicken in the crockpot. That's what's for dinner tomorrow.
                My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.

                    Re: random thoughts....

                    i want a crockpot! i've wanted one for like, 6 months and for some weird reason just haven't bought one.

                    i am afraid to try on clothes in a smaller size.
                    it's a very weird fear. i can't figure out what my problem is.

                          Congrats Grant on the expecting!! And on losing 109 lbs, you are awesome! I hope someday your kids will understand & appreciate that you are able to play with them & give them quality time because you first took care of yourself!!

                          I cook my eggs & my quesadilla (low carb tortilla) in the same pan, but I always wipe it down first.

                          Crockpots are awesome! Love to come home & have the house smelling delicious!!!!

                          random.... I actually enjoy exercising & wish I had more time in the morning to do more! Also.... I love this way of eating. I can't imagine ever going back to the old way of eating. I just know better than to make mac-n-cheese, or top ramen soup, or eat one flaming hot cheeto. Yes, I was addicted to Flaming Hot Cheetos & although I don't eat them now, I know that I am a Flaming Hot Cheetoholic!! One will be TOO MANY!

                            lannerjarv, for me there's a fear that it's all been untrue & that a size smaller will be soooooo tight & that I really haven't lost weight & who do I think I am for even thinking it will fit. But then I try it on & even if it's tight, each time I try it on it's looser & looser, until it's time to go down ANOTHER SIZE!!

                            I had one pair of brand new sz 16 jeans that I used... to judge how I was doing. I was sooo sad because at first I couldn't button them, then I could button, but couldn't zip. Well, I found out that other sz 16 do fit & that 1 pair ran really small. OMG!!! Who knew!!?? Nice surprise, it was!
