I just drink diet soda. But then, I drink a lot of artifical sweeteners and have figured out which ones I can have and which ones make me pray to dark gods from a porcelain throne lol

http://cavemanketo.com/lazy-keto-chicken/ This is one of my favorite recipe sites. We used him a lot at first because he has a lot of meal plans! This one has sort of become our standard, but we spice it up a lot--chunk the chicken and fry it with extra spices, or bake it and slice it over greens, etc. Sometimes we'll chunk the bacon and chicken and then fry green beans in with them, top with cheese, etc.

http://cavemanketo.com/cucumber-sandwich/ - I really like cucumber, so this was a really good early alternate to sandwich bread.

That said, I mostly eat salads instead at this point--top raw spinach with ranch, olives, tomato, cheese, bacon, chicken or burger, etc etc etc. All the really yummy stuff you could put in a salad that tends to make it 'unhealthy' in most people's eyes is actually encouraged and delicious on a low carb diet lol

http://cavemanketo.com/portobello-pizza/ - I don't actually like mushrooms very much, but Brendan liked this.

I can't find a good recipe, but we made fried chicken one time that was /amazing/. Tenderize it and dip in egg wash then in a blend of ground up pork rinds, parm, and spices instead of breadcrumbs.

We eat a lot of guacamole, too, which is just avacado mashed with salt, lime, and garlic to taste. I don't hold with super fancy guacamole recipes--they always get too complicated, and this is delicious alone.

Zucchini can be cut into zoodles really easily and used as a vehicle for yummy sauces, or filler with a meal the way pasta or rice would be. Veggies in general steamed or roasted then covered in butter, salt, and garlic is common.

Ummm. Chicken breast, ranch, and buffalo sauce in a crockpot makes a mean shreadable buffalo chicken. Could hold off on the ranch if you want more spice. Mix with more buffalo, warm cream cheese, and shreaded cheddar in a oven safe pan and bake for a buffalo dip that's pretty great.

Bacon and eggs is a good standard meal, and 2 eggs and 2 strips of bacon is under 500 cal a meal.

http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/pumpkin_bake.html - this is one of my favorite keto desserts! We make it in the fall in muffin pans, then microwave or oven really fast when you want it, then top with a small pat of butter and/or fresh whipped cream.

Whipped cream, incidentally, is really easy to make. Pour heavy whipping cream in a bowl with a splash of spices you like (pumpkin spice, cinnamon, etc) and a sweetener, and use a blender until it thickens and then scoop out with a spoon. We make flavored whipped cream with our Torani sugar free syrups a lot! Cinnamon, caramel, coffee, chocolate, almond roca, etc flavored whipped cream really makes a difference in spicing up a dessert or coffee!

In general, we find new recipes here if you want to delve:

I do have quite a few! I'll link a few of my favorite recipe sites when I'm at my desktop. Most of what we do now is winging it though lol

Oh! What does nature have to do with it? Like overgrown techy type stuff? Bastion in the forest stuff? Or were nature and tech separate requests?

I don't think it was a crowd thing, I think it was some kind of issue with the connections. They said they're working on it though.

I used to be super into anime and then at some point I feel like I just dropped out of the collective fandom lol
My top five would still have to be....say....Elfen Lied, Loveless, Chobits, Madoka, and just, you know, all of studio ghibli ever
Posted in What are your favorite types of events? Posted 7 years ago
Hey guys! This is an informal thread that has absolutely nothing to do with anything we're planning, totally!

What sort of events do you tend to gravitate to when it comes to avatar sites? What sort of events do you personally want to see on Voltra? Are you more a fan of basic events with event currencies and special items sold in the stores, or random drop events, events involving RIGs or hunting for information, etc?

@iggy: Oh, hey! I used to love Maximum Ride! I think I stopped following it about the time the 'big bad' was revealed to be global warming lol, but I collected the manga and stuff.
