NEW LIVING LOW CARB GROUP - ANYONE WANNA JOIN?

Lazy days......for some reason those are the days I wanna snack.....and instead of grabbing something good I go for a PB&J and you ask why I have bread in the house....some how I manage to "allow" it in case of...........................................you guessed it

A LAZY FLIPPIN DAY!

So I am gonna go and purge the cupboards tomorrow.....GETTING ALL THE CARBS OUTA THE HOUSE.....again......phewy

Some of the Low Carb recipes I make at home.....beware I am a cupboard cook and these are done in Smidginese....a smidge of this and a smidge of that...use your judgment. I put how many carbs are in them... this is a guesstimate, but I guarantee they are low carb

For those wondering here are some acceptable veggies...which I very rarely include in my over all carb count cause they are natural foods.

Brussel Sprouts
Green Beans
Peas
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Tomatoes
Avacado
Bell Peppers
Salad stuff (Mushrooms, onions, cucumbers)
Squash
pickles

Taco salad....YUM... 8 g Carbs
We do 1/2 turkey and 1/2 beef......taco seasonings ( get the lowest carb packet you can find)
Bell Peppers - I buy frozen bell peppers (green, red, yellow and orange) already sliced put in to cook with the meat
Tomatoes
Sour Cream
Cilantro
Avacado
and I brown with Pam spray or oil a Low Carb wrap and tear or cut into triangles
1 cup of any type of lettuce you may want
Wholla Taco Salad

Spaghetti.....minus the Spaghetti.........5g Carbs

We do the same 1/2 turkey 1/2 beef, bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, squash in lowest carb sauce you can find (ragu im a can is the least I have found at 7grams) and put it over asparagus spears or chicken


PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM PIZZA (Our all time FAVORITE!!!!!!!!) 7g Carbs

Get large Portobello Mushrooms wash them and thourghly dry them, pull center stems.
Put a layer of Mozerella in them (not too much, more cheese coming)
dice bell peppers, tomatoes, Garlic, pepperoni or sausage or BOTH Put a spoon full of spaghetti sauce over that, then put parmesian cheese and more mozzerella over the top and bake....best if you bake for about 20 mins at 350 and then kick on the broil to simmer out the juices.....may take a bit to master but MMMMMMMMM good.
Side dish with a salad....perfecto

MEATLOAF MUFFINS - 4g carbs
Get standard size muffin pan
1/2 turkey 1/2 beef (2 lbs total)
1 egg
Garlic
Chopped Tomatoes
Worcheshire sauce....by dash...hehehe, spill or two
I put a small dab of BBQ sauce or Ketchup on top...beware they have carbs
or use your grandma's recipe ommiting any bread crumbs or oatmeal
Fill the Muffin Pans tight to the top of cups
bake on 350 for 20 mins and check
there will be alot of grease....and your muffins will shrink....thats why we do 2 lbs of meat.....
when done serve with you favorite Veggie and a salad

Thanks for sharing! I was planning on trying the portabella pizza. I saw a recipe on another site. So, you've peaked my interest for that for sure!

This is my Hubby's favorite, just be sure to drain your meats real well and dry your mushrooms real good or they get too soggy and hard to eat...or messy I should say :oP. They are yummy and filling
