I found a recipe for Bob's No Bean Chili, and made a huge, delicious crock pot worth. It was very low carb (I added riced cauliflower and zucchini to mine to make it a more complete meal, so the carb count slightly went up), but it was still under 10 grams... so filling and so delicious.0

I've done something similar adding seasonings and cheese, but just be light-handed, because combining things like this add odd things to the flavor, too.
thanks for the tips! I'll wrap each half individually once I'm done w/ my fat fast (gotta keep the cals low)
The more bacon the better!!!!

I have started doing hot wings and that's easy enough to throw in fryer for a quick lunch, about burnt out on chicken breast and steak unless I can find new favors for them, what do yall use to season your chicken breast?
I like to bake my chicken breasts topped with a touch of sugar free marinara, pepperoni, and mozzarella. Also I found a Pinterest recipe for jalapeno popper chicken with bacon, cream cheese, and pork rinds that was really good. http://www.auntbeesrecipes.com/2014/01/low-carb-jalapeno-popper-chicken.html
Oh i made the popper one (with out skins) the lastnight, hubby loved it... I didnt eat it but will tonight
wow... the pizza chicken sounds great... I would have never..... thought of that one.

Love the popper idea!! I could mix the cheese mixture up beginning of week and have it just to add to the peppers (or chicken like last night) when ever i wanted before tossing in oven. chili will be great when it gets cooler but to hot now

Egg salad, or chicken salad is pretty quick and easy. Just mix hard-boiled eggs, or leftover chicken with some mayo, and celery if you like. Add a bit of hot sauce, salt, and pepper, eat with spoon, yum!0

I always have mini babybel's (gouda cheese) in the fridge. They are even packaged for you and hold up well, if you have to throw them in your purse on the run lol. Usually have some canned salmon at work for emergencies (I just can't stomach sardines), I like it on salads with avocado and sesame oil/honey ginger balsamic vinegar, but also eat it straight out of the can when I need to!
I have to food prep and plan otherwise I fail miserably. These are two of my happiest LCHF finds that store in the fridge and re-heat well. I usually serve with a vegetable of some sort.

I have also finally developed a taste for chia pudding. Another great make ahead that keeps in the fridge for breakfasts! I grind the chia seeds slightly first and also add hemp: http://lowcarbyum.com/simple-chia-seed-vanilla-pudding/0 -

Just don't make the mistake of trying that Keto Caveman Chili. It was some of the worst stuff I've ever made. Way way too sweet, and not really chili-y at all. And I"m the person who used to ketchup up her SAD chili!!! Ugh, and trying to fix it with the optional stuff made it worse! LOL0 -
My go to lunch is salami, half an avocado and a handful of black olives. No cook, no stress, perfect macros.0

I wish I could do this for lunches, but my brain tells me that's a snack and I will want something else later...... ugh. I cant even do the wraps with lettuce because I feel it's a snack (crazy I know)0 -

Do you have the carbs/cals for the steak dish? That looks great.... and you cook ahead of time and reheat? wow gotta try that0 -

This looks like a batch cooking dream recipe. I have been looking for more things to batch cook and freeze by the quart and this looks perfect. You're an angel! I think I'd use butter instead of ground beef fat because butter in chili is amazing and allowed on this woe.0 -

For something quick and easy I like johnsonville brats, with a lot of mustard!! 2grams of carbs per sausage.0

Last night I tried the Aidells gluten free Italian style chicken meatballs and they were so good. 2 carbs for 3 meatballs (I had 4 and that ended up being a good portion for me). I baked them in a mix of alfredo and no sugar added marinara, topped with mozzarella. I served with a little spaghetti squash.
Very easy dinner as the meatballs just needed heated about 15 minutes and I always microwave my spaghetti squash.0 -

Oh, and barrel cured sauerkraut! Relatively low in carbs, fits perfectly with the brat AND mustard...and has fabulous probiotics!

I made a meat ball dish last week, (frozen bag of Perfect Cook meatballs) I used just plain Ragu, motz cheese & boiled shredded cabbage for bulking it up. It was soooo good I will try the chicken meatballs with it this week for a better food choice... thanks.

Smoked Oysters, smoked salmon, sliced turkey rolled up with a dollop of mayo, (maybe someday I'll try some of the homemade mayonnaise recipes I've seen here.) almonds, macademia nuts, sardines, pork rinds, bacon jerky, hard boiled eggs...
I love to grab a rotisserie chicken for a quick meal. I eat all the dark meat and save the breast for my cocker spaniel.0 -
Oooooh....this is such a good thread!!

Here is the recipe. I subbed 1 can of organic tomato sauce + 1 jalapeno pureed in the blender for the Rotel, skipped the onion and green bell peppers for a tablespoon of onion powder, and added a cup or riced cauliflower and 1 cup shredded zucchini.
@KnitOrMiss, I know you don't do too spicy, so adjust jalapeno and chili powder to taste.
Oh, and I made it in the slow cooker on high for about 5 hours.0
