Keto and Travel......

On Tuesday of this week, we will head for our daughter's home in Peoria, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix. We're really looking forward to this visit. We've not seen them since our granddaughter's graduation when we all converged there to celebrate her success. Now, six months later, we'll enjoy Thanksgiving together, and it will be so much fun! While I've thought about successfully continuing Keto for Thanksgiving, I have very few concerns as most holiday meals provide several keto options. However, I need to plan for daily keto options while we're visiting for more than six days. I think that we'll stop by Costco and get our standby chicken and ribs along with spinach, macadamia nuts, broccoli, green chili, sour cream, and cheese. I'll make green chili dip, broccoli cheese soup, and salads ahead of time so I don't talk myself into eating bad stuff. I'm also going to make some of the almond bread I've been using to satisfy that carb craving that I sometimes have. In fact, I just talked myself into making some of the almond cinnamon bread to snack on this afternoon. I'll be back when I get it in the oven. I'm back!  Cinnamon bread is just the treat I need today to keep myself on track. I'm particularly fond of cinnamon, and this sweet dessert will hit the spot. I must remember to share it with my daughter. She is considering trying keto herself for several reasons, so some of these recipe ideas might help her get started. Have I mentioned that my weight loss is going very slowly? I lose ounces instead of pounds and only a few of those per week. However, I am making progress, and I don't gain any weight, so I am happy. Still, I fear that I might have to give up my evening wine.  BUMMER!  I think that I will do that after we return from Phoenix. Sad, but necessary! I'll let you know how everything goes. We're so excited to see the kids. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Stay healthy!
