This recipe combines two favorite recipes in one tasty skillet dinner. A meal that will impress even your fussy, non low carb friends or family members.
After dinner and against my better judgment, my older adult kids talked me into watching a somewhat scary movie with them last night.

Even though it was fairly late at night when the movie was over, my daughter and I had to stay up later and watch a comedy skit or two before we could go to sleep. We did this so we would not have the scary movie in our brain right before going to sleep. I believe this is my nightmare prevention technique, but usually I never watch those kinds of movies.

Do you do this as well, or can you go right to bed after being scared?
