Hey everyone! :)

So, I've realized that one of the most difficult parts of any diet is coming up with meals! So I was thinking that we could share pictures/recipes of our meals to help each other out! :)

Here's Mine:
Breakfast: Two Breakfast Sausage Patties & Two Fried Eggs
Lunch: Shredded Pork "Tacos"
Dinner: Three Chicken Drumsticks with Mayo
*Check out my diary for details on carbs/calories, I usually keep carbs under 20 and calories under 1550

    Here's an idea for your "tacos" that I do all the time. Spray down a frying pan very well with Pam or whatever your preferred oil of choice is. Then take a 1/4 cup or shredded cheese and spread it out into a circle and just let it sit for a while. I think mine take maybe 5 minutes. They'll start bubbling and the under side will get hard but still malleable. Then flip it and let the other side get the same way. Fold up some tin foil into a little "u" shape so your cheese will take the shape of a traditional taco shell. Take it out and let it cool while being held up by the tin foil so it takes shape. These are so good and it sounds like it wouldn't work but it does! Sorry if I explained this badly. I'm sure you can google it too. :) I have tons more recipes up my sleeve if anybody wants them!

    I tried the tortilla from hard melted cheese last week, based on a post on MFP that suggested using the microwave and parchment paper. Turned out to be a waste and a mess. Will try this technique next, thanks!

    I can't figure out how to add a photo to my comment...I'm on an ipad, not sure if that is the problem.

    A waxed paper plate works better. I've tried a couple of different types of cheese and have found that the Sargento Mexican 4-cheese blend works best (2 carbs per serving). Spread cheese on plate (not the giant ones but not the small ones), covering the circle. You don't want it too think but you also don't want it too thin. In my microwave, 1:50 is perfect for making what we refer to as "cheese crisps". We bust them up and use them as a substitute for potato chips. A few seconds less cooking and they are pliable to form into the shape of a taco shell. Way better than a regular taco shell!!!! You will need to wipe the plate between batches. I've also tried the Kraft Mexican 4-cheese blend and it takes forever to crisp up...too much oil. The Kraft was only 1 carb per serving, so I thought I was doing good by cutting where I could. The end result with the Kraft isn't worth saving the carb. Sargento is way better.
