Let's start with a random tidbit! My parents were *THIS* close to naming me Primavera. Instead she chose Tamara (Layla is my youngest daughter). Since that's what I thought about when I first saw this meal, you get to now think about it too! So on to the real stuff. This frozen dinner almost, kind of, sort of looks like the photo on the box.

Apologies for the "blurry" photo. That's actually smoke coming off the grill. I forgot to take a photo while plated and went straight to devouring these so this in-process grilling photo is the only one I have. This was a great basic recipe from Kalyns Kitchen. I wouldn't change a thing.

Cheddar Baked Chicken
This was definitely a family pleaser. Everyone including the baby liked them (I made the kids portions into smaller pieces like chicken nuggets and cooked for less time).

Lemon Caper Chicken
This is a great simple recipe that tastes like something more complex. I used to make this one back in my carb-etarian days but used white flour back then.

Great recipe. I would say that this could be good enough for company, even carb-etarian company!

My Super Walmart FINALLY put these little gems in the freezer section. So let's start with the obvious. It does not look like the photo.

Ahhh day 4. I got on the scale this morning and lost .7 pounds from yesterday. That puts me at 3.3 pounds lost so far during the fat fast. Today went a bit wonky for me.

Day 2 of the fat fast! I've lost .9 pounds so far. Just shy of 1 pound in 1 day! Food did consume my thoughts today though. I was having some difficulties during the afternoon.

Ahhh the fat fast. I've heard quite a bit about it throughout the low carb world.
