    I don't think I have ever seen cream of coconut. Is it the sane as canned oconut milk? Now the coconut oil I am familar with. But it sounds good.

    my dinner will be a bowl of chicken chili with sweet peppers rings and a salad with vinegar and olive oil
    snack will be greek yogurt with a T of whipping cream
    care to hare your chili recipe??

    I really don;t have a recipe. I am a dumper. But the best of my memory i used about 2 cups of the chopped onions ,pepers, celeries Saute them in 1 T. coconut oil Add the ground chicken And broke it all up as I cook them Then add 1/2 pkg of kroger chili mix and a small can of diced tomatoes Simmer for a little while Had some left overs for my dinner tonight The chili mix pkg said it had 6 grams of carbs and 1 gran of sugar. So it should be OK on a low carb diet..

    oh sweet, do you think it'd still be good with tomatoes? trying to omit nightshades as much as i can, still have green peppers from my garden so i'll use them up until they're gone but wanna try this looks yummy!
    You mean no tomatoes.. I would imagine it would Oh what is it you calling nightshades. I am trying to learn all I can. from you younger folks.

    haha yes i meant without nightshades! thank you added this to my menu next week! so pumped! haha

    heres a link about nightshades very informative without being overwhelming: http://www.balancedbites.com/PDFs/BalancedBites_Nightshades.pdf

    Beef coconut curry. I actually adapted this from an old vegan recipe! I'm in the UK which might confuse things- just play around with the quantities, it's pretty forgiving.

    Ingredients, for one person:
    butter/coconut oil/ghee/your chosen oil
    100g Tesco beef strips (or just cut some steak into strips I guess!)
    half a 50g packet of creamed coconut
    60g button mushrooms if you want
    30g raw cashew nuts or a couple spoonfuls of cashew nut butter
    about half a cup of boiling water (40/50ml?)
    half an onion or 2 spring onions (scallions)
    2 garlic cloves
    1 tsp garam masala
    1 tsp turmeric
    chili powder and other spices/salt etc to taste

    Chop and fry the onion, garlic and mushrooms in a frying pan...skillet...wok...as you like ;)
    When soft and the mushroom "juice" is gone, add the beef and stir fry for a minute or so
    Mix the creamed coconut in the water until melted and add to the pan BEFORE the beef is cooked through (unless you like your beef like old leather)
    Chuck in the spices and cashew nuts/nut butter.
    (The original recipe called for soya cream at this point to make it more like korma. You could add cream, I don't bother)
    Turn the heat up and allow the sauce to reduce and become sticky. And you're done!

    It's not a very good looking dish but it tastes great!

    thanks for sharing!

    Ok, I did a dry rub on some country-style ribs and put them back in the fridge. Then I made a homemade low-carb bbq sauce and put it in the fridge. Tomorrow those ribs are going to simmer allllllll day. I really want to make some mock mashed potatoes to go with it too. I can't wait for dinner tomorrow!
