Ooooh, @Sabine_Stroehm ... that brings back memories of when I was Parks & Facilities Concession Manager of a neighbouring town. I would order a tub of extra salty Dutch liquorice 'coins' just for me as I was the only person around that liked them. They were made with real liquorice though, not a fake flavouring. They kind of reminded me of the 99% Lindt chocolate. Same sort of 'it takes very little to satisfy' craving.

Peanut butter. I could eat it by the spoonful. I used to eat about 6 tablespoons on bread and put 1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips on it as a snack. No more of that but I do eat PB still and use a few Enjoy Life brand chips.

I love burgers with fried eggs. That was lunch today.

I made fruit salad for Rowdy Sunday and I really wanted some but I stuck to just one Blackberry...he raved over how good it was and I was jealous! But didn't give in.

Today I have a huge craving for an egg roll. My children get the combination platters but don't eat their egg rolls. I usually eat them but since going LCHF I haven't wanted any. Today I wanted it but I didn't give in. I went for a 3.6 mile walk instead. So glad I did.

Up until this weekend I was craving Chinese food hardcore. I was feeling sick, so I went ahead and ate whatever on Friday. The steamed dumplings were great, the General Tso's not so much. Just too much sweet gross flavorless glop. I ate it anyway because it was kind of expensive. But at least that's out of my system now, I won't be craving that again for a long while.

I've been craving Chinese food too! Made some for dinner tonight. I get frozen pot stickers (dumplings) because I don't know how to make those, but make my own Szechuan wings and beef with broccoli. The sauces are a bit carby (4 tsp brown sugar in the glaze for the wings and 2 tsp table sugar in the sauce for the beef and broccoli, but the recipes make enough for the whole family, and it's worth it). I have to limit the dumplings (I could make a meal out of just those if it weren't for the carbs - three of those suckers have more carbs than the whole rest of my meal!). But it was good to get that craving out of my system! Love love love Chinese food

I've been craving milk! I really don't even like milk, so it's really confusing me.

Those Chinese pot sticker dumplings are so good! I think if I just eat the meaty filling it would be ok. The lovely dough puts my BG up too high.

@tlflag1620 There is a recipe for low carb pork dumplings out there - basically close to the inside out egg roll (egg roll in a bowl) recipe I just posted, then some dumplings made with psyllium husks or something...

HA! Found it: https://buttoni.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/pork-patties-with-dipping-sauce/

Yummy! Thanks @KnitOrMiss. I suppose I could just eat the "guts" of the frozen potstickers, but this looks much better! I could definitely make Chinese more often if I tried making these; heck, the hubby and kids might even like those better - it's just the "good part". I've said it before and I'll say it again - grains aren't food, grains are what you put food on (on in this case "in")!

Those all look really good! May have to have another Chinese food night soon, lol. I love the flavor of sesame oil, but since it's so delicate I don't cook with it (I generally use palm oil for stir frying) I only season the finished product with it.

Mmmmm... gonna have to try these

For when you're ready, @MandiCole1 - save this recipe. http://www.healthfulpursuit.com/2016/03/keto-easter-egg-cookie-dough-fat-bombs/
