It's Been A Long 8 Years!

So many changes! I'll be quick. Eliana was born. Left the WOE.  Mom died of breast cancer. Hashimotos diagnosis. Back on WOE. Divorced. College. Dad died of leukemia. Married to an amazing man and into even more beautiful children. Left the WOE. Back on WOE. Left WOE. Eliana turns 8 in 22 days. Gained a lot of weight. Endometriosis. Back on WOE as of 30 January 17. 4 lbs down and normalizing bG without tons of insulin.

I do have a recipe for you today. It was delicious and well worth the work. It is the good kind of greasy, serious comfort food. I know what you are thinking, but I swear the turnips don't taste like turnips at all this way. Happy eating!

Prep Time: 5 minutes   Cook Time: 10-12 minutes

Low Carb Turnip Hash

• 1/2 onion, small dice, I used yellow
• 1 medium turnip, small dice, peeled and ends sliced off
• 3 cloves garlic, minced, more or less to taste
• 1 medium jalapeño, small dice, deseeded if you want the flavor without extra heat
• 1/c cup diced ham
• 1/2 tsp Tony’s Creole Seasoning, more or less to taste
• salt and pepper
• 2 Tb butter
• 1 tsp bacon grease
• optional cheddar cheese, or sour cream to top

1. Heat butter and bacon grease in a large non stick skillet over medium heat. Cast iron works great! Add the diced turnips and cook them until soft, about 6 minutes, stirring frequently. 
2. Add the onion, and garlic. Stir frequently until the turnips and onions begin to color. 
3. Add the jalapeños, ham, and seasonings, continue to stir over the heat until the onions and turnips are caramelized.
4. Top as you choose and enjoy.
