Since I discovered Shirataki Tofu Noodles at the store, I'm trying to make it a point to work them into more of my meals. I stumbled across a recipe from Italian Food.com called Baked "ziti" W/ Tofu Shirataki
Brands Used:
Harris Teeter - Fancy Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Harris Teeter - 2% Sharp Cheddar Cheese-Shredded, 1/4 cup
Fresh Meat - Ground Bison, Great Range, 16 oz (113g)

Low Carbin' - Slow Cooker Pork BBQ
Ever since I was a small child, there have only been two great debates among North Carolinians. The first hot topic for discussion in my state is which college basketball team is better....UNC or Duke? The second great debate is well.....BBQ.
At the store a few weeks ago I bought a 2 pound pork tenderloin for under $5! That my friends, is a deal. It has been sitting in my freezer ever since and I didn't have a clue on what to do with it. UNTIL, I stumbled across this recipe from Healthy Low Carb Living - BBQ Pork Loin.
SAY WHATTT? BBQ Pork loin, how can you go wrong? Although, I'm pretty picky about my BBQ. Especially since NC is famous for it....
I also decided to use myfitnesspal.com to receive the Food Diary details. Often when I put in these low BBQ recipes, they aren't low carb at all!
Ingredient Brands
Premium Farms - Pork Tenderloin
Hunt's 100% Natural Tomato Paste
Distilled White Vinegar - Walmart Brand
Worcestershire Sauce - Food Lion Brand
Chili Powder
Splenda
Dry Mustard
BBQ Pork Per Serving
Calories: 160 Carbs: 8 Fat: 3 Protein: 26 Sugar: 6 Fiber: 2
With Pepperidge Farm Classic Bun -
Calories: 270 Carbs: 25 Fat: 5 Protein: 35 Sugar: 8 Fiber: 4
With Green bean and Almond Steamable - Green Giant
Calories: 310 Carbs: 29 Fat: 7 Protein: 36 Sugar: 9 Fiber: 5
RATING: 4/5 Stars
SUMMARY: I always love the way meat comes out of the slow cooker. Falling off the bone good. For this dish my only complaint was about the sauce. The sauce didn't taste very BBQ like. It needed to be spiced up and made thicker. This would have allowed the sauce to stick to the pork and have that BBQ kick.

Goals for March
I love feeling so small. Driving back from Raleigh was a lot of fun.. I put Coheed in the cd player and owned the road. I did everything by myself, for myself. It was an amazing feeling to feel so independent.
Setting Goals for March.
Daily:
Eat Better
Plan my Meals
Weekly
Plan all meals
Workout at least 2 times a week
Weekly Craft
Weekly Health Food Project
Monthly
Lose 4 pounds
Start C25k
Conference
I did gain a lot of information from my conference. A few cool ideas for computer applications and my careers class. I feel so refreshed that things are coming together in my professional life!
New Bern Livin'
The Moving Process
This is the 4th time I've moved in my life. The first being 15 feet infront of my very first home I lived in for 19 years. My parents put another house directly in front of our old farm house. They knocked it down and I moved to Greenville shortly after. I spent 5 years in Greenville, two years in pamlico, and now two week here in the beautiful town of New Bern. I've got to say that this was the easiest move I've done AND driving a 20 ft rental truck was a lot of fun.
Downsizing
I've donated so much stuff to goodwill in this move it's not even funny. 15 bags of clothes, some still with tags on them. A sofa, an entertainment center, a ottoman, and shoes. I hope they enjoy their new home. <3
New House
I love my street. Our neighbors already had a welcome to the neighborhood party for us. I love having the chance to met so many people who know the heritage and importance of this place. Every was so nice and kind. I'm truly lucky to live here.
I'm putting in some hardcore city exploring this coming week!
