Shrimp "Potage" Soup


This is a family favorite! (Potage is potato.) So when I decided to Ketofy this recipe the best alternative was the turnip. If you have not tried the turnip as a sub for potatoes, you are in for a treat! It has the same consistency as potatoes when used in soups or stews or casseroles. I have not tried mashing them because they still have a higher carb count than cauliflower.

Migraines

Did you know that "migraine" does not mean headache? Neither did I, until my husband had an appt. with a Brain Surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in MD.

Now what that might mean for most people (me included), when you've eaten too many of these "triggers" then the headache will occur. And since there are other factors involved: tired, energetic, blood sugar, smells, noises, the environment, stress, etc., you really have no idea what will be the proverbial "Straw that broke the camels back". Now in the case of my husband, it's not headaches that I'm talking about but Vertigo. Yep! Yuck! This last episode had him feeling like he was on the Tea Cups ride at the Fair for 7 days straight and couldn't get off! So, where was I going with all of this? I ha...

So last week, we sent home letters with every student explaining what they needed to do this week. Monday - Wear your teacher's favorite sport team, color, or sport T-shirt. Example: if your teacher likes Penn State, you could wear something Penn State, Blue and White, or just something Football related. Tuesday - Wear your teacher's favorite cartoon / book character or animal shirt, or the color of the character / animal is fine too. Example: Mr. Henry's favorite character is Barney, so you could wear purple to show your appreciation. Wednesday - Bring an encouraging sticker for your teacher and place it on the poster outside your teacher's door. Example: ...
