Let Them Eat Pound Cake!!

As I write this I am enjoying a delicious piece of Cream Cheese Pound Cake. This is an IC friendly recipe that can be found at Niki's Blog. This is a blog that I found last week that has a lot of IC friendly recipes. I'm really enjoying looking at all of the different recipes that are ones that I use a lot in my monthly meal planning, and am myself not very creative at looking at a non-IC friendly recipe and switching out the ingredients to make it more pleasing. And the best part is, the recipes that I have tried have been given the "thumbs up" by my families and other people who do not have IC. Which is a very good thing! I will be using a lot of Niki's recipes in the future.

Some other good news is that these last few days I have found myself with more energy than I have had EVER in I would say the last decade, maybe even 15 years. I don't know if I can attribute it to the taking of the Elmiron, but it definitely isn't hurting. I mean this week alone I've already done more housework than I usually have the energy to do in a month! Needless to say my husband is very much enjoying this. :) I don't know how long this energy supply will continue, but I'm definitely going to take advantage of it and use it to my benefit.

The other thing is if anybody has a  a recipe for a White Chocolate Shake I would love to have it. Steak n Shake makes one, but they only serve it November through January and as the only other shake they make that is IC friendly is vanilla (gross) and January is very quickly nearing an end, I would love to have a recipe that I can make at home.

Please feel free to leave comments if you do go to Niki's blog and tell me what you think of her recipes. Oh, in full disclosure, she does say that she has discovered she can tolerate lemon zest (I've not been daring enough to try this yet) and small amounts of onions, so she does include them in some of her recipes. But, like with her Pot Roast and Veggies that I made yesterday, I just left out the onions and it still tasted delicious!! I'm learning that a lot of the recipes you grew up with you can make IC friendly, and while they may not be exactly as you remember, they can still be quite tasty.
