    Not a fan of that style but....hope it's working for you and that you're feeling okay.

    Meat and vegetable? Pretty simple. Lots of combinations of the two.

    ~beef, pork, chicken, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts, beans,

    ~ broccoli, swiss chard, kale, spinach, romaine, cabbage, mushrooms, asparagus, avocados, okra, cauliflower, bell peppers, snow peas, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, winter squash, brussels sprouts

    I am not good with complicated recipes. Head over to Pinterest.com for that and have fun.

    By the way I feel really good and have no cravings of sugar nor carbs. Which is very unusual for me

    cauliflower pizza from allrecipes.com.


    1/2 head cauliflower, coarsely chopped
    1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
    1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon chopped garlic
    salt and ground black pepper to taste


    1. Place cauliflower pieces through the feeding tube of the food processor using the grating blade; pulse until all the cauliflower is shredded.

    2. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until cooled, about 15 minutes.

    3. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.

    4. Stir Italian cheese blend, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper into cauliflower until evenly incorporated. Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet; press and shape into a pizza crust.

    5. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

    should have prefaced with the fact that i love carbs and eat lots of them.
    i cant imagine this is any good.

    There's a recipe board on here that has some and you could also google search on paleo recipes or low-carb recipes as there's millions out there

    Personally I like one-pot suppers where you chuck everything in and with meat and lower carb veg like butternut squash instead of potato that's easy to make in a slow-cooker with little effort - although for me I don't restrict any food stuffs just watch my calorie defecit and it seems to work

    and as an aside I think arditarose was very respectful so I'm unsure why you snapped at her :smile:

    I find Pinterest really helpful. Just search gluten free and a lot of recipes will pop up. I just ignore the ones that use replacement flours as they are generally high calories. My go to in a pinch is a stir fry. Use whatever veggies you have (either fresh or frozen), any meat chopped up (I have used chicken, beef, ground beef, pork and canned salmon) and whatever spices you like. Quick, easy and nutritious
