Deliciously Disgusting

Since it's inevitable that I'm going to be gaining 20 lbs, I decided to celebrate today by trying out a new recipe that I have been waiting to make. I generally steer clear of all things fried, but I've had fried onion straws at Lucille's and they were delicious. Of course, The Pioneer Woman has this recipe in her files, so I decided today was that day. And they were amazing.

However, they make a TON and I just couldn't stop eating them. And I also made her Ribeye steak, so right now I have a 1/2 a cow in my belly along with a pile of grease, batter, and onions. My stomach hurts. It's cramping up telling me to NEVER do this again, or I'll be sorry. And I won't. I plan on being really healthy this go around, because I've found the less weight you put on during your pregnancy, the faster you get back to normal (Rocket Science, I know.)

But hot damn those onion straws were good. If you want to feel like the happiest fattest cow on the planet too, make some of these tomorrow. And then go to the gym.
