I have to Share some dip with YOU...

Hello all,

Today is monday and I had a pretty boring day. It's hard to find something to do when you can't spend money. So I just stayed home. I painted my toes and my fingers. This is the first time in forever doing my hands by myself. Well since I found out about the Essential Tremors that I have. I have to tell you it was kind of funny in a way. Trying to find a way to keep my hands still while I did it. Well I think I did OK. Here is the picture.
It's purple glitter polish.

OK so I posted below what I ate the past 2 days. I have to share this dip that I made. It was SOOOO GOOD, it puts spinach atrichoke dip to shame.

I also put it on my Recipe page.

Dubliner Artichoke Dip


12 oz. artichoke hearts, chopped
1 cup mayo
1 small clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp grated onion (I actually forgot this-duh)
2 cups Dubliner cheese grated (I bought the brand Kerrygold 7oz. pkg at Henry's Market)

Combine all ingredients and spoon the mixture into an 8 inch baking dish.

Bake for 30 min at 300 degrees. Serve with celery for the BFC or approved crackers, pita bread. .

breakfast; 2 zuchinni pancakes, 2 turkey bacon, 2 oasis toast w/ butter and josephs sugar free peanut butter, a few berries, coffee.  S-3/C-1

  1. I have never tasted an artichoke:) I just know I wouldn't like them. Sad huh? I also have never tried the spinach dip although I see it all the time. I am a weird girl.
    Your toes and fingers look great. I wish I had fingernails to even do something to. I really wish I was closer to where you lived so we could hang out at your pool!

  2. I would love to try that dip! Unfortunately, I would be the only one to eat it at my house, though, so I'm not sure I can take that kind of temptation. LOL

    Love your pretty polish!!

  3. Rosy,
    It's Linda, your friend who emailed you and you used my email for one of your blogs a few weeks back. I wanted to congratulate you on your lowest weight yet. You are like the energizer bunny. You keep going and going and going. I have a question. Is there another cheese that can be used for your dip besides the Dubliner? We don't have a Costco here. I have looked other places but can't find this type of cheese. You had mentioned in another blog that you HAVE to be on a diet for the rest of your life. I wanted to say that it's because of you and the lists of what you eat each day and your wonderful videos that have given me the encouragement that I can actually do this. With food ideas like you give, it's like not even being on a diet at all. Thanks for all that you do for all of us Rosy. You truly are an inspiration.

  7. Hey Rosalie, the coconut bread is kind of a cross between bread and cake - more like pound cake, I guess. You can use it for a sandwich if you want, but it is slightly crumbly, so you have to be careful.

Some tips if you are having trouble

  • First make sure that you are staying under the 15/6. 15 sugars and 6 servings of carbs for the whole day. Thats no more than 5 sugars and 2 servings of carbs per meal.
  • Track all of your sugar/carbs. Add everything from your meal together and count them that way.
  • Try to stop eating whole grain carbs after 3pm.
  • Make sure you drink lots of water.
  • Count everything that you put into your mouth. Even sauces - everything , check labels.
  • Make sure that you don't eat any artificial sugars. Check labels, if it says sugar free - look in the ingredients, look for....sucralose, aspartame, saccharine in the ingredients. Those are BAD!
  • Going #2 is a big problem when a lot of people start the BFC. I have solved that problem with Clear Benefiber in my morning coffee and a scoop of Super Seed w/water in the afternoon. (you can buy the super seed on Amazon.com it is the cheapest).
  • Choose your carbs wisely. Try to pick the carbs that will give you the lowest count of carbs, sugar and calories and the most fiber.

I hope this helps.
