Happy Monday everyone!

I had a very interesting night.  And when I say interesting, I mean it was awful!!!  You can read the note here to learn why.

Now it’s almost noon and I feel much better.  It’s a brand new week.  I start my new schedule on Mondays and I love to see a blank page with no video ideas scratched off the list so I can pick whatever I want to do!

With that said, not sure what I feel like doing today.  I will probably start my new Upcycled Fashions video (the poll is still open if you want to vote!), but I’ve decided that since those videos are complicated, I will not be finishing them in one day.  I will work on it throughout the week and do the editing as I go so it’s not so much to do all at once.  But it will be uploaded as one video.

Yesterday, I uploaded my most recent Upcycled Fashions on eBay and I see I have two bids!  I start my bidding as low as possible since I just want the items to find a new home.  Check it out to see if this one is your size!

I also started a new series called Movies I Love and I talked a little bit about my Number 1 favorite movie of all time!  Then I did 5 More Random Facts about Maine.  It was super fun this time because I was answering trivia questions about Maine and I had no idea if I’d be right or not.  Check that video out too!

Have a great Monday!

4 Ingredient No-Bake Chocolate Oat Clusters Cereal Bars Recipe

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

Chocolate Oat Clusters Cereal No-Bake Bars betty crocker darlene michaud recipe

NOTE: I get messages asking me why I post these types of recipes while I’m following a zero carb animal kingdom only food plan.  My answer is because I’m following ZC, but I bet you’re not! Just because I eat a certain way does not mean I have to limit myself to sharing only meat recipes. I’m not the carb police! lol

Be sure you check out what I eat everyday!!!


Chocolate Oat Clusters Cereal No-Bake Bars Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

Bars:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup Nutella hazelnut spread with cocoa
1 bag (10 oz) miniature marshmallows (about 6 cups)
6 cups Nature Valley chocolate oat clusters cereal

Topping (optional):
2 tablespoons Nutella hazelnut spread with cocoa
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Darlene’s Tip: You can use any store brand chocolate hazelnut spread. You can also use any oat clusters cereal.  You can totally skip the topping.

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1:  Line 9-inch square pan with foil so foil extends about 2 inches over sides of pan. Spray foil with cooking spray. In large microwavable bowl, microwave butter, 1/4 cup hazelnut spread and the marshmallows uncovered on High about 2 minutes, stirring after each minute, until mixture is smooth.

Step 2:  Immediately stir in cereal until evenly coated. Pour cereal mixture into pan. With buttered hands or back of spoon, press mixture evenly in pan. In small microwavable bowl, microwave 2 tablespoons hazelnut spread uncovered on High 20 to 30 seconds or until drizzling consistency. Drizzle on top of bars; top with sliced almonds. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Step 3: Using foil to lift, remove bars from pan. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store tightly covered.

Eat Meat!  Drink Water!  Get Rest!

See my Zero Carb playlist!


Yesterday – Saturday 2/18 – Day 94

When I got up, I had my usual chug jug of hot water.

At 1:30pm, I had what you see on the plate above, and it was freaking fantastic!  I cooked some slices of beef and was able to make them rare or medium rare like I like.  I also fried up some kielbasa and two slices of salami. Then I had an awesome piece of haddock.  I ate all the fish, sausage and salami but left about half the beef.

At 8:00pm, I cooked an entire pound of ground beef.  Then I fried a slice of salami and put the leftover beef slices from lunch in the pan just to warm that up a bit.  I ate everything expect for one slice of beef!  I had that with mustard.

At 1:00am, I ate the rest of my deli roast beef along with 3 slices of salami and I also ate that one lonely slice of beef that was leftover from my dinner.

Food that entered my mouth yesterday:  sliced beef, haddock, salami, kielbasa, ground beef, deli roast beef, mustard, butter, salt, pepper and lots of delicious water.

IMPORTANT – My doctor totally approves of this!!! See this vlog to see how my appointment went!

My Zero Carb Video Playlist

You can watch THIS VIDEO to learn why I’m doing this.

You can watch THIS VIDEO to learn what ZCers eat.

This is the facebook group I’m in.  It’s a public group so you can read the posts without joining.

I will be talking about this new way of life often on my Youtube channel, so please subscribe and you won’t miss a thing!

This is the article that I stumbled upon by Kelly Hogan which got me immensely excited.   And this is Kelly’s blog.

PLEASE READ: Please remember that it’s MY CHOICE to eat the way I want. If you think this is unhealthy, know I’m not as concerned with physical health. I’m more concerned with my mental health. I’m on a mission to feel better mentally… without cravings!!! I’m willing to test this so you don’t have to! But what works for me might not work for you. I’m not doing this to lose weight. I’m doing this because I’m convinced that I’m overly sensitive to carbs and that I must stay away from them if there is any chance of me feeling better. I’m eating from the animal kingdom only, like the complete opposite of vegan. I know this upsets many, but I promise I won’t eat your pets. You are free to follow my progress/failures and you can even disagree with what I do. Just remember that I will get the last word because it’s my blog, my channel, my life! That’s the new me talking! (I think I’m growing balls! Let me look… yes, I see one starting to grow!)

Happy Sunday!

I was thinking that I had to go out today for my mother’s meds, but it looks like I can wait until Tuesday, so I might just wait!  I feel like staying put and just getting lots of work done around the house.  Love my new meaty energy!

Since I’ll be home, I hope I can knock out a few videos.  I’m actually aiming for 2 or even 3.  I’m a bit behind on my youtube schedule, so I may need to revamp it a bit and cut a few things out.  There is only so much time in the day, you know what I mean, jelly bean?

I hope to be listing the Upcycled Shirt I made in this video on eBay today too!  I actually revamped it a bit and I love it even more! And I made a matching choker.  I’ll be showing you that later, so stay tuned!

I also made another quilt block for the Quilt Block Party and I hate the way this one turned out.  I know it’s not too bad, but I had so many things go wrong during the recording, most of which I cut out.  What a hassle I had! lol  I’m determined to learn how to keep this series simple because I want very much to continue it.  I just need more practice with the whole double camera thing.

I got to talk to Skylar last night. She was with Derrick and they were playing with play-doh together.  She’s lucky that her daddy is very crafty because she loves crafting.  He set up an entire craft center for her and they sit and paint together, create lego things together, make puzzles together, do paper crafts together. He’s such a good daddy to her! And she adores him. Very proud of him!!!

Have a great Sunday!

Darlene
