I love that this whole breakfast was sugar and carb free, but it tasted so decadent!<\/p>\n<p>The rest of my morning was grocery shopping (which is relaxing for me!) and then did some cooking. I found out that one of my brothers was working in the area, so I made this <a title=\"Low Carb Alfredo Bake\" href=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/2014\/04\/14\/low-carb-alfredo-bake\/\">Low Carb Alfredo Bake<\/a> and had enough to put away for a few lunches.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5277\" alt=\"Cheesy low carb pasta bake made with spaghetti squash\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Cheesy-low-carb-pasta-bake-made-with-spaghetti-squash-510x387.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Cheesy-low-carb-pasta-bake-made-with-spaghetti-squash-510x387.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Cheesy-low-carb-pasta-bake-made-with-spaghetti-squash-1024x777.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Cheesy-low-carb-pasta-bake-made-with-spaghetti-squash.jpg 1423w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After some cleaning and catching up, I tried to find a costume for myself for Halloween. To be honest, I\u2019m not really into Halloween at all. In fact, it\u2019s not my thing at all. However, I have a friend who is putting on a Disney only costume party\u2026and I really can\u2019t say no to that. I\u2019m thinking Giselle from Enchanted, the Mad Hatter, Alice, or Rapunzel. I can\u2019t decide\u2026so I need help.<\/p>\n<p>I also noticed in the mirror this morning, that there is still paint in my hair. A few days ago I helped one of my friend\u2019s paint\u2026and after he rolled the ceiling, I took one step too high on the ladder and bumped my head on the freshly painted ceiling. It hasn\u2019t come out.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7W8-SWQxugU\" height=\"315\" width=\"420\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s talk of butter taking paint out of one\u2019s hair\u2026but I haven\u2019t done it yet. Maybe I\u2019ll try coconut oil.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of oil\u2026I also just made a fresh batch of oil facial cleanser. I remembered how great it was when I used to do oil cleansing on my face\u2026and decided it was time to get back into the habit.

I\u2019m going to spend the rest of the day with one of my siblings\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026Cuz that\u2019s always a good time, says Carly Ray Jepsen.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Disney costume ideas?
