Being that its valentines, I am gonna cook up a storm tonight for me & my bf!!
To start:
Mussels cooked with garlic, cream, a dash of white wine & topped with fresh parsley.
Mains:
Pan fried loin of venison (Deer) in a blackberry sauce (made with beef stock, a few blackberries & a pinch of splenda/salt/pepper). served with turnip chips (Fries) and spinach.
Dessert:
little lemon cheesecake mousse made with heavy cream (whipped) a couple of tbsp of cream cheese, splenda & lemon extract. I'm going to crumble some macademia nuts over the top for crust-like texture.
Calorific, but at least I'm not snout first into a ben & jerrys!!!0 -
Thank for the Deer meat idea. I have been looking for some way to fix other than chicken fry the stuff.0

I am making my creation "Tamale Pie" for my parents tonight who have been low-carb for a month. It is definitely not induction-friendly because of the enchilada sauce and tomatoes; it is more of a treat because of the delicious topping.
Filling:
1 tbsp butter/oil
2.25 pound lean ground beef
1 large onion
1 small can Rotel tomato w/ green chilies
1 small can enchilada sauce
chili powder
garlic powder
Taco/Mexican Cheese (to fill in gaps)
Pre-heat oven to 350. Dice onion, and cook in oil. Add beef, season with spices and cook until brown. While cooking, prepare topping (below).
Topping:
½ cup coconut flour
¼ cup butter
4 eggs
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 tsp baking powder
onion/garlic powder
Melt butter, add eggs and mix. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix with fork. Put filling in casserole dish; pour Rotel tomatoes and enchilada sauce over. Put clumps of topping on top. Fill in spaces with Taco/Mexican Cheese. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Can be served with sour cream, salsa and/or fresh cilantro.
Serves 8.

Leftovers will be used to make a thai chicken salad for tomorrows lunch and a coconut thai chicken soup (Tom Kha Gai) for tomorrows dinner.0 -
So today I went for lunch with a friend, & panicked over the menus when we walked in. Paninis, bagels, baked potatoes, cakes, pastries. I triumphed in the end, having the scrambled egg & smoked salmon bagel, minus the bagel & with some fresh spinach. They had some amazing sounding sandwich fillings, so I reckon I'll go back there armed with a low carb wrap & ask them to fill & grill it for me.
Has anyone else done that before? I was very paranoid at first about asking for a burger without a bun, or if the coleslaw had any sugar in, but people are actually really helpful so I guess wouldn't mind preparing something in a wrap I bring. The more I eat out without encountering problems, the more I think low carb eating will be long term sustainable for me.
Just a heads up....
Its against health code standards in most places to allow any food from an outside source to be handled or prepared in the establishment. (I'm in the restaurant industry) So you will most likely not be able to have them prepare anything that you bring. You could most certainly wrap it up after they make the rest for you though!
Sorry to burst your bubble.
Just wanted to save you the disappointment!
Serv-Safe Manager here - youre 100% correct.0 -
We are extremely cold and rainy here in New Hampshire since yesterday. I hunkered down in the home yesterday and did some meal prepping for the week.
Today though:
Breakfast was simply made - simple omelet of two eggs and mozzarella cheese, three strips of extra-thick Maple-cured bacon. I was soooooooo in the mood for bacon BIG time today! LOL The whole meal was only 1g carb and I do feel satisfied.
Lunch: Summer squash-chunked with a light dijon sauce. Freshly steamed greenbeans and a honkin' huge 6oz top round steak cooked medium rare with a homemade spicy garlic-herb-lemon marinade. The steaks were rubbed with a seasoning blend that I make on the side. OHHHHHHH baby!
Dinner: With the rain expecting to be a week long issue, nothing says comfort food than Chicken Broccoli Alfredo - regular pasta for my husband, but I will use tofu-shirataki for my noodle. Ill even add crumbled bacon to the dish as well.0 -
3 pork, fennel and italian herb sausages for breakfast (with English mustard). Excellent.
Tuna salad for dinner.
Steak and salad for lunch.
Wine
