It's perfect for lamb as well0 -
Found this recipe today...will be making with a LC friendly swap-out for the marinara, maybe mix in a little cooked pork sausage.

I bought this cauliflower last week but haven't tried it yet. Is it good?
It is pretty good. I ate some plain, some, I mixed with the extra wing sauce and some I put butter on. I think it needs a little something extra like butter. But then again, butter makes a lot of things better. When it says "lightly"in relation to the garlic, it really is light as in barely taste it.
Turns out I bought the Italian cheese one, not the garlic. We also had mushrooms so what I did is dished out my kids mushroom portions, then dumped my portion of the cauliflower into the pan with my mushrooms and turned the heat to medium high and put a nice toast on it. 1 portion plus my mushrooms made a decent sized side alongside my grilled pork chops. Itmeant to take a picture but was too busy.2 -

Taco meat over cauliflower rice, a few onion and peppers and topped with cheese and sour cream. I had planned on avocado as well but I forgot it! Still a very filling meal!1 -
Made a thing...got eggs, coconut flour, heavy cream, salt, shredded mozzarella, and iltalian sausage. It was amazing and then cooked the green beans in the sausage grease.2 -

Everytime I have tried cauliflower rice, I hated it, but this looks like something I could love! Thanks for sharing.

Cauliflower doesn't have much flavor on its own, so how you pair it is key. I agree that this looks like a good pairing.1 -
@cstehansen @idocdlw Thank you both!! I love to play with recipes.
I saute my cauliflower rice in olive oil (or sesame oil if I making a stir fry) with a couple tablespoons of onion and bell pepper and then salt and pepper it all. If it is cooked slowly the flavor is better. I can eat it like that with melted cheese or top with taco meat, spaghetti sauce, chili, polish sausage, grilled chicken, etc. I've even made "potato" cakes with it.0 -
This was my lunch like one hour ago
IT is simple but delicious! I used 1 whole can of Tuna/1 mayo packet(2 could be added for more fat) / a tiny bit of Mild Salsa/and half an avocado. 4 -
I didn't take a picture because I ate it too fast. But I just stumbled on another quick easy meal for myself.
Our local grocery store carries a organic grass fed version of steak-ums (so the thin sheets of frozen beef). Only ingredient on the back is grass-fed beef. So I cooked up about 1/4 of a yellow onion (62 grams), and 85 grams of mushrooms in 1tbsp of butter then added 2 servings of the frozen beef, seasoned with garlic salt and pepper. Cooked it all up in my iron skillet and put it in a bowl (scraped all the crunchy beef bits off) then topped with 1 oz of a shredded cheddar blend. So good, and pretty decent on my macros (38 g fat, 8g carbs, 21 protein) - probably not a meal I would eat on a day that my carbs are higher, but a good quick meal for lower carb days and I can up the fat and protein easy by adding more beef. Mmmm I bet it would be good over spinach like a steak and cheese salad.2 -
Hawaiian barbecue isn't really known to be low carb, but it can be! Below is the "Atkins Mini" instead of salad, i ask for all cabbage. It comes with Bbq chicken thighs, BBQ beef, and an egg. I usually trade my BBQ
beef for hubbys bbq chicken (less carbs). This plate is about 15g carbs.2 -

A modified crack slaw (how did I run out of sirracha). Made with pulled pork (no BBQ sauce). So good. I made some for lunch too.

And you can fry it? Sounds amazing....I love cheese! I'll have to look for this type.
I have also seen it in the domestic cheese area, it was called "grilling cheese." Maybe not exactly the same, but Very similar.2 -

Bacon wrapped salmon filet on asparagus. The asparagus got a bit crispier than intended, but it was good.

I'm not normally a smoothie person but haven't been feeling well and didn't think my tummy could handle BPC today. Googled low carb smoothies and found this. The link to this Salted Caramel Smoothie and more is below.

Craving pizza so I whipped this up in the microwave...a pizza bowl. 1/4 cup sugar free pizza sauce, 1 cheese and garlic sausage cut up, 1/2 cup cheese, 30 grams nitrate free pepperoni and some oregano and garlic powder layered in a bowl and microwaved until the edges were crunchy....delicious!

Sorry no pic...I gobbled it up too fast! I only cooked two thighs and guessed at the proportions, but it was delicious! I do soak my chicken in a salt brine for 24 hrs prior...do this for all chicken dishes.
DANA'S PARMESAN DEVILED CHICKEN
1 tablespoon oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup spicy brown or Dijon mustard *
2 tablespoons dry white wine
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, the kind in a green can (3 ounces)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
8 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin on *
Salt, to taste
Combine the oil and garlic in a pie plate. Let stand about 5 minutes. Add the mustard and wine to the oil. In another pie plate, mix the parmesan cheese, paprika and cayenne. Coat the chicken with the mustard mixture then coat well with the parmesan cheese mixture on all sides. Place the chicken in a non-stick foil-lined 9x13" baking pan and sprinkle any remaining parmesan cheese mixture over each piece of chicken. Bake at 350º 75-90 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. My boneless chicken thighs took 60 minutes.
Makes 8 servings
Can be frozen but coating will turn soft3 -
I'll try to add a picture later but this is one other Tunisian recipe easily adaptable to low carb . It's a desert. We could say it's close to a fat bomb
Zrir
200g butter melted
200g hazelnut (butter)
100g sesame seeds
Honey to taste in original recipe but I skipped it you might substitute with you sweetener of choice.
I grilled the hazelnut and sesame seeds. I used my food processor and grinded them separately until it becomes a smooth nut butter texture. In a sauce pan I melted butter you can add your sweetener there and add the hazelnut and sesame seed, mix constantly until bubbles form at the surface. Pour in small container and refrigerate. I take them out of the refrigerator 15min before eating then for a smoother texture.1
