MMmmmmmmm gravy!!!

Learning to make LC gravy was a must - fortunately Karen was around to save my butt and show me how!

<begin personal opinion>
When I began, I contemplated using different mixes or pre-made foods, figuring that I used so little, that the carb count would be negligible. Things like my gravy, regular ketchup, regular peanutbutter, a cracker or two.However, I quickly decided against that for 2 reasons. 1 - for me that's a slippery slope ... a few carbs here a few carbs there, all of a sudden I"m back where I started and 2 - those few carbs are coming completely from things like cornstarch, sugar, white flour etc., and I've made the decision not to put those into my body. Why sabotage myself and my hardwork for a tablespoon or two of a food that I can easily learn to live without or make my own LC version? However, everyone's different, and you have to make the choice that's rigth for you
