    Low Carber here!! Please add me as a friend :) I'm always looking for recipes. What do you guys do for your craving of chips and ice cream?

    Someone on the Atkins Support thread posted this website: http://blog.yourlighterside.com/p/eats-recipes.html.
    I went there and it has a lot of awesome recipes! I had already seen pizza crust from cauliflower or zucchini other places, but this one has easy directions to make chips similar to the pizza crust! I can't wait to try it! All the recipes I looked at have very detailed directions for making and storing the meals/snacks. A really nice site.

    Breakfast is my kryptonite... anyone have any suggestions for low carb that does not include eggs or leftovers from dinner??

    When I don't feel like eating eggs I make a flaxseed muffin (Atkins' Muffin In A Minute) and top it with a little peanut butter or cream cheese, or if I have more time I make flaxmeal pancakes. Here is the website for recipes: http://www.atkins.com/Program/Phase1/WhatYouCanEatinthisPhase/AllAboutMIMs.aspx.
    You can also make muffins and pancakes using almond flour, but I don't have a specific website for recipes as it is a bit expensive for me so I have not bought it yet to try. But others say it's really good. :)

    LOL! I'm here cramernh! I love flaxseed muffins! Keeps me regular. :blushing:

    1/4 Cup flaxseed Meal
    1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 tablespoon Splenda (optional)
    1 egg

    Mix everything together in a coffee cup. Cook for one minute in the microwave. Turn the cup upside down to take the muffin out. If it looks wet, let it sit for a minute or so. I have these for breakfast. You can add blueberries, or try other additions. Some people add a tablespoon of cream cheese before cooking.

    Fruit/vegetable/nut suggestions:
    •Add a little mushed bananna, chopped pecan and make a bananna nut muffin.

    •Add a tablespoon of canned pumpkin and substitute pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon.

    •Add some form of dried fruit.

    •Put a few raisins in.

    •Add fresh blueberries or raspberries. They are wonderful and freeze up nice.

    •Add sugar free applesauce.

    •Grate up a few baby carrots and top with splenda

    •Add frozen cranberry slices and orange flavoring.

    •Add chopped nuts

    •Powdered peanut butter.

    •Chocolate peanut butter.

    •Almond poppy seed version: add a dash of vanilla extract, a dash of almond extract, some poppy seeds and some slivered almonds. Then sprinkle a few more slivered almonds on top before microwaving it. You may need to use quite of bit of Splenda in it. Egg substitute can give a better texture than regular eggs.

    You can also turn into a pancake by skipping the microwave and pouring into a pan. Takes longer than a normal pancake to cook, but it's delish! Makes either one large or two small.

    Mmm...think this is what I'm going to have today!!

    I posted this in the Atkins forum, but thought I could share it here too. It's pretty much the MiM, but a baked/protein version.

    1/8 cup flax meal
    1/8 cup protein powder (I used Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate)
    1/2 tbs butter
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tbs splenda
    1 large egg

    Microwave butter in a bowl for a few seconds to make liquid.
    Mix dry ingredients in the same bowl.
    Add egg and mix until uniformed.

    Preheat oven to 350 deg.
    In muffin pan, pour mix into cupcake wrapper. Mix should be enough to make 2 muffins.
    Bake for 25-35 minutes. Check the top of the muffin. It should be pretty solid/crispy.
    Let cool for 15 minutes.

    I was 'trolling' this thread :ohwell: and really want to join ya'll if that is OK! I'm closely watching my carbs, shooting for no more than 50 per day (net carbs) -- I really try to shoot for less, but sometimes it doesn't always work out that way! None of my carbs are coming from processed foods though - -just veggies and the one here and there that adds up at the end of the day.

    After 2 full weeks of low carbing, I'm down 8 lbs, so I'm pleased with that and have about 80 more to go!

    I am definately in need of some variety to my menu so I look forward to joining you all and hearing what you are eating. I do find I eat a lot of cheese - I love cheese!
