Viva Low-Carb's Sausage Zucchini Recipe

With a store calling itself Viva Low-Carb, you KNOW I'm gonna love 'em! The store owner Rosanna is a vivacious woman eager to help people who are livin' la vida low-carb get on track and stick with this lifestyle change for good.

In the newsletter she sends out to her customers today included some very kind comments about me.

"Jimmy Moore (the low carb blogger) came to town and we met him. He is one of the many low carb success stories, many of whom come to our store. He, however, is a writer and has written a book about his low-carb success “Livin La Vida Low Carb" and has become a bit of a celebrity. He is a true champion in response to the “haters” out there trying to bad mouth the low carb approach. He’s a no nonsense, tell it like it is kind of guy. And quite nice too!

Aw, I think I'm gonna cry, Rosanna! That is SOOOOO sweet of you to write about me like that (although the "celebrity" part may only be in my mind! LOL!).

Viva Low-Carb is one of the low-carb stores carrying my book and I appreciate them for doing that. She has copies available for sale right now at her store in Southern California.
