    Zero carb pasta with mushrooms, spinach and prawns.ubblkph6hu8u.jpg

    Please share recipe or list all ingredients including spices!! I so want to make this!!!

    @ettaterrell, dry fry 200g zero carb noodles until desired texture (I use the fettuccine shaped ones from MyProtein.com, but there are lots of brands you could use).
    In a separate pan, sauté mushrooms in butter .
    If you're using uncooked shrimp, add when mushrooms are about halfway done and cook until just pink.
    Wilt in some spinach (if using cooked shrimp, add them now).
    Add 100-150ml of single cream and 30g parmigiana or hard Italian cheese, and allow to simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens up a bit.
    Stir in noodles and sprinkle with chili flakes (optional) and lots of black pepper.

    @JessicaLCHF , this is such an easy dish, and practically makes itself. You could easily use any chicken parts you have for this, or shrimp would be good too. But I only have whole chickens, so instead of cutting one up, I roasted a 6 lb chicken first, then pulled all the meat off and cut it into chunks. But you could saute chopped boneless chicken as well. I would cook it in fat of your choice. In my case, I just used the fat in the form of chicken drippings, with a bit more butter, and then of course, the coconut milk. So I'll just tell you basically what I would do.

    Cut chicken and brown in butter or coconut oil. Remove chicken pieces when almost done, with a slotted spoon. Fry chopped onions, celery, and any other vegetable you might want in the fat in the same pan. I put a bit of broccoli in yesterday, and a tiny bit of tomato at the end. You could also put in some chopped red or green pepper, or any other lower GI vegetable. When veggies are almost done, add the chicken back to the pan. I also added seasonings like garlic, an all purpose blend of spices I mix myself, salt and pepper etc.

    If you use a whole chicken that has been cooked already, simply fry the vegetables until they are ready to receive the chopped cooked chicken. I used the same dutch oven that roasted the chicken, to saute the veggies, and the flavour was so rich, especially since I heavily seasoned my chicken when I roasted it.

    I love C*ck brand red curry paste, since it is virtually comprised of spices alone, with no sugar or MSG or anything added to it. You can add as much as you like. Blend that into the juices in the pan.

    Add one can of full fat coconut milk and stir everything, cook a bit longer to combine the flavours. You could add more lemongrass if you have it, but there is some in the curry paste.

    Serve over cauliflower rice, or zoodles or last night I made the stir fried cabbage with a bit of onion and bok choy, sauteed in butter.

    Kit, I do whole chickens too. Walmart had some massive sale on them last week and they were 99 cents...for a 2 pack of whole chickens. I don't have a dutch oven and none of my cast iron pans are deep enough, but I use the crockpot. Takes all the work out of it. Season like usual, put 1 cup of water in there with the whole chicken, and put it on low for 8 hours. It is super easy to debone.

    Steak, onion, bell pepper and cheese omelet. I think it ended up being around 428 calories, but it's been worth every bite. 7g carbs (from the veggies) I used heavy cream to whip the eggs with, and fried it in butter.

    Lunch is Curried Beans. A childhood favorite that's super easy and amazingly tasty, in fact it's all of my siblings favorite veggie! But maybe it's genetic? IDK. Anyway, it's beans heated in bacon grease with the bacon torn and added back to the pan, and a good sprinkle of yellow curry powder on it.

    Wanted to make my scrambled eggs less boring, but simple and easy to make:

    3 eggs with a little HWC added (blended with a stick blender)
    Handful of cooked shrimp (no tails)
    1/4 of a yellow bell pepper
    2 large mushrooms ~ sliced
    4 slices of bacon ~ chopped into squares
    Pepper and Lawry's season salt

    The shrimp were a first for me, and they were great! I probably could of added some cheese (next time).

    Enjoy,

    Low carb meatloaf with low carb ketchup. It's my regular recipe, except where I used to use breadcrumbs I used pork rinds, and instead of milk, I used HWC. NOM NOM NOM!!!

    @JessicaLCHF it was really good. I kinda made it up with what I had. Browned ground beef and onion and out that in the bottom of a casserole then mixed peas carrots and a can of cream of mushroom soup together and layered on top. Then boiled cauliflower and blended with butter and sour cream and garlic powder, baked at 350 for 40 minutes and topped with shredded cheddar for the last five minutes.

    I realize now I could've sauteed mushrooms with the peas and carrots and added heavy cream to make a soup instead of canned which had more carbs, but I would've had to buy those and I already had the soup. Next time.

    It was really good and SO ate two helpings and didn't have any stomach issues after. I made some biscuits for him to go with it.

    Oh wow...I've never made Shephard's Pie that way! I usually use Bisto and Worchester Sauce with the peas and carrots. But I love the idea of cauliflower on top. I suspect Bisto isn't very carb friendly since it has a lot of corn starch in it :)

    They don't look very pretty, I'm still learning to roll sushi hand rolls without the firm base of rice, but they were yummy!

    Spicy Prawn Hand Rolls

    3 half sheets of nori
    150 grams of large cooked prawns, chopped into 1/4" pieces
    1 Tbsp chopped spring onion
    1 Tbsp mayo
    1/2 Tbsp Sriracha
    70 grams avocado

    Easy peasy, quick, tasty and only 3 net carbs for all 3 rolls. 377 calories, 24 g fat, 31 g protein

    Just scroll up and you'll see how I did it. It was just a cut up roasted chicken with all the drippings combined with sautéed vegetables, coconut milk, red curry paste and seasonings.

    I used pork rinds instead of bread crumbs and added some Italian seasoning. I also didn't use hot sausage, just regular.

    Thai green chicken curry 17g carbs, 15g net. I tend to save my carbs for my evening meal and just use them on veggies.

    snhujro0f0zc.jpg

    Creamy lemon chicken with spinach 7g carbs, 5g net.

    8ti0l0eu8crk.jpg

    Omelets, this one is cheese, chorizo and rocket 3g carbs

    This thing is amazing but I had it before keto so not sure of the macros, def keto though!

    Fried crispy cheddar, meat of choice, eggs and avocado, you can pick it up like a taco! soooo good.
