Belly Good!

A few years ago, we bought a cookbook called Belly Good, Belly Bad.  It makes a convincing case for cooking your own food rather than eating out, embracing a low carb life style and cutting way down on all kinds of sugar, fake and otherwise.  We stuck to the diet religiously for a couple of months, and had no results weight-loss wise.  I mean really.  None.  What we gained was our favorite family enchilada recipes.  So good.  So even though belly good, belly bad was a belly bust, we love the cookbook and still use it, we still try not to eat too much sugar, and still love the enchiladas.  Like we had tonight.  Yum.
