Wash Your Hands and Let’S Get Fresh! Low Carb Style

By C. Trotter

In retrospect, food has always been an attention getter for me. I can remember a lot of things from an early age that laid the foundation for what I have become today.

Although I was born in Omaha, Nebraska, I spent my early childhood in Compton, California, where my Aunt Enola and Uncle Al were my teachers. They tried to teach me how to drive in eighth grade, but that didnt work, so they tried something else. I went from making chicken in their FryDaddy to mastering how to cook chicken, using an industrial pressure cooker. My Grandma Jones showed me how to make do with what I had, and my Aunt Bettys fried fish will be embedded in my memory forever.

My mother was well educated, young, and single. She could not cook! We ate out a lotI mean, a lot! She worked two to three jobs always! I spent a huge portion of my time with my cousins. My Auntie Ozzie had six children, so at an early age, I was quickly introduced to warehouse grocery shopping and how to make scrambled eggs. Didnt realize those trips and making scrambled eggs would be so important to my future.

My Aunt Lindas meals were always five-star, neat, clean, and always appetizing. My aunt could take a ten-cent pack of Kool-Aid to a whole other level! She would turn something simple into something grand just by cooking with love.

I now realize that, unknowingly to me, I have followed the path that God has laid out for me. Cant wait to see what he has in store for me next!

FORWARD

I would like to start by saying my name is Cassondra Trotter, not Dr. Trotter. As with any diet or dramatic lifestyle change, consult your physician to make sure it is safe for you!

This was a fun book to do because of the creativity using the low carb ingredients to create something fun, fresh and flavorful that the entire family will enjoy. So whether you are currently eating low carb or not all of these recipes are delicious!

Preparation is key to staying on this diet. I found you have to be prepared for your next meal all the time or you may find yourself skipping meals, wasting money eating out or munching on things you shouldn’t, because you were not PREPARED to eat!

I was still trying to complete my first book when I began trying out recipes for this one. I knew that this one would be a fun learning experience but I knew I was in for a lifestyle change. I wanted to see if this low carb diet really worked and so far the journey has been a success. I’ve lost about 10 lbs. so far and I’ m not able to fully commit yet. Greg has lost around 30 lbs. and just not fully committing. In June we will see our family and friends hopefully they won’t recognize us!

These recipes are economical, easy to make and will keep you on that low carb diet that you’ve started!
