    114 g. crab (OceanIsle Premium Claw Crab Meat in the refrigerated section at my grocery store)
    1 large egg
    30 g of Avocado (about a quarter of a medium one)
    15 g of Sukrin Almond Flour - that's about 1.5 tbsp (though I'd probably use less next time)
    1 green onion
    salt & pepper according to taste/preference
    1/4 tsp garlic & onion powder

    All mixed up together with a fork. Pan-fried in 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a small frying pan, about 5-7 mins per side, they were pretty thick.

    I'd recommend tossing in a tbsp of mayo or some creme fraiche though as they were a little dry. A lot of recipes call for parmesan cheese too, but I didn't have any. I bet a few crumbles of bleu cheese would have been nice too. And I like things spicy, so I would have tossed a chilli in there too if I'd had one in the fridge.

    And if anyone has a great low-carb tartare sauce recipe to share, please do, as that would have made these much more tasty!

    Yum! Thanks! Isn't tartar sauce basically mayo with some lemon juice and pickles chopped in? I'm def trying this next week! Good idea to add the sauce.

    Egg Roll in a Bowl, or a, uh, frying pan.

    Well, it looks rather boring. But it tastes pretty good. Wish I'da put in more ginger. I do love ginger.

    Added some Szechuan sauce, too. Here's the recipe link: http://www.bunsinmyoven.com/2015/08/24/sausage-egg-roll-in-a-bowl/

    Grilled Salmon (in tinfoil on the grill) with butter, lemon pepper, salt and a spring of rosemary from my garden. Spinach was cooked in my cast iron that had a few leftover mushrooms and butter from last night. I know it's a lot of spinach, but I really like spinach, lol.

    I give this one a 10, the fish was perfectly flaky and the flavors were good together.

    Not the best picture, but it sure tasted great. I made myself one bowl of mushroom soup with 1/2 pound crimini mushrooms, homemade beef/pork bone broth, HWC, butter and leftover pork fat. I sautéed the mushrooms, after cutting them up in tiny Campbell 's soup type pieces, then simmered them in broth, reduced it a bit instead of using thickener, added heavy cream, then removed about 1/3 of the mushroom pieces before blending the rest with my immersion blender. I placed the reserved mushroom back in the pot and served myself a great bowl of soup. Season to taste.

    Thank you for this recipe!! I made it tonight as a gravy for pork chops. Omg so good!! Hubby said he could drink it with a straw. Lol

    Chicken Noodle Soup

    Yes, you heard that right ~ noodles! I was walking around in the veggies section of Walmart and found these noodles called: Pasta Zero. I picked them up and they are very lo-carb...YAY! I have always wanted a replacement for glutenous noodles. I have never seen these before. I probably ate them when I was in China and didn't know it.

    Here are the pics of the noodle package:

    iivl5inh0ndx.jpgrueib8nggueu.jpg

    For the soup, its really simple:

    Homemade chicken broth
    Pasta Zero Noodles
    Chicken
    A few carrots

    I would of put celery in it, but I didn't have any.

    The noodles were great! They soak up the flavor of the chicken broth.

    I don't know how to post a pic from my phone. :/ I put a bunch of green peppers, onions, and chicken in the Crock pot with a packet of fajita seasoning. Side of homemade guac. Hubby had his with tortillas.

    Curried chicken made with roast chicken, full fat coconut milk and Red Curry paste, with a side of stir fried cabbage and bok choy with a bit of onion. I kept all the chicken drippings in the sauce, decadent and delicious.

    Chicken cooked in CO with taco seasoning on a bed of romaine with salsa, cheese, crispy jalapeños and sour cream with guac seasoning mixed in.
    My portion came to about 350 calories, 6 total carbs. I think it was about 30g protein and 20g fat...

    Yummy!!!

    I forgot pic but I made smoked salmon (2 hours slow smoked) and steamed broccoli with butter!!! A new thing I've learned is how little I really need to be full!!!! Fills great not to stuff my plate full of bad food choices and eat healthy size meals with out being sick later!

    Cauliflower crust pizza. Excellent recipe and tastes good. Could have used a bit more pre-bake time as I would have liked a little more crisp, but it tasted good!

    You can do that with cheese and a pan to make personal pan pizzas without crust. You know when cheese falls over in the pan and gets all crispy when you're making grilled cheese? Same concept. I always liked the crispy cheese that fell in the pan lol.
    I might do those, as the reviews were mixed. My 4 and 9 year old gave it a thumbs down. Me, 12 year old, and 7 year old liked it. It's that or I make the kids a regular pizza and me and hubby smaller personal ones.

    ETA: 2 pieces (which is a serving) made me a bit more full than I would have liked.

    My diet in a nutshell...sorry for being too lazy to actually combine these, but its pretty obvious I just emulsify with avocado, EVOO, MCTs & spice with salt & oregano. Dry heat for Kale until a nice brown, low-medium stovetop panfry for fish until slight brown...love those delicious carcinogen polyheterocyclic amines

    I make pizzas without crust often. I just put the cheese right on the parchment pretty thin. Then the toppings. Let it cool a bit after its done and then just tear off pieces and maybe dip in pizza sauce or ranch. So good!

    YUM! Very different from anything I've ever made. Do you have a recipe or can you baby step it for me?
