YUMMY!! Dinner and desert!!

Here's somethin' for the tryin'...

Craving potatoes? Try using turnip (not the yellow one, the white and purple one = lower carbs)as an alternative. I hear soaking them in cream and water will take the "bite" out of them.

Craving hash browns for your eggs and bacon in the morning?? Try this recipe...

Hash Browns ... makes 2 servings

1 Tbsp bacon drippings
half a small onion, diced
1 large bunch radishes, trimmed and diced
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 tsp dried thyme

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saute onion in the bacon fat until soft, then add the radishes. Cook over medium heat until crisp outside, and soft inside, about 8 minutes. Add seasonings near end of cooking time.

Carbs are 10.4 gm total, 8 gm fiber = 2.4 carbs total

(by adding a Tbsp of water with the diced daikon, and covering the skillet for 5 minutes, then remove cover and crank up the heat will "brown" it a bit)

Got the snacking blues? Need something to munch on?

HOw bout Jalapeno poppers? (remove the seeds, this is where the heat comes from)

Cut off tops of J peppers (and keep them aside)
(about 4-6 cleaned out peppers) careful not to tear them.
Roast them in oven until they are soft....

Cook 3 slices bacon, crumble.
Mix with 2 tblsp Cream Cheese
2 oz Cheddar cheese

Allow peppers to cool and then stuff with mixture.
Replace tops onto peppers and heat in oven for about 15-20 minutes.

-----------------------------------------

Garlic Cheese Fritters

2 Eggs
1/4 cup heavy (whipping cream )
1 ounce shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
Garlic powder to taste
1/2 of a 3 oz. bag Plain Pork rinds.

Mix eggs, cream and garlic.
Crush pork rinds well and mix with above mixture. Add cheese and mix.
Allow to soak until it becomes a very thick and goopy batter (3-5 minutes).
Fry pancake style in butter.

---------------------------------------------

Or my favorite, pepperoni in the oven until it is crisp!! YUMMY!!

Ok I was curious and bought a bag of pork rinds tonite. Just plain I guess (the ingredients said "pork skins, salt"

I opened the bag and told my husband he had to try one with me, but we both turned green when we opened it, it smelled like rotten meat!

Then I tried one anyways lol and it sizzled on my tongue. These things are alien!

But I'll still try your recipe, it sounds yummy

Ha Ha Ha!! Alien...

I should have warned you, upno opening the bag this GAWD AWFUL smell arises.

The plain is good for recipes. Tough to eat plain unless you really like them. Some night you may want them as a late night snack dipping them into ranch dip, or french onion, or spinach dip, or clam dip...

Lost Weight: at one time almost 40 pounds...but it\'s all back now
Current Weight: 174...sadly. I was down to 135.
Goal Weight: 135 was my original goal...met it in June 2002 now I\'m going for it again.
Hi...I've been checking out Atkinsfriends dot com and found a bunch of induction recipes...

Here's one I'm gonna try:

Clouds
Take out a cookie sheet and put some waxed paper or parchment on it.
8oz cream cheese (room temperature)
1/2c butter (room temperature)
1/2c splenda
Blend well. Drop by spoonfuls onto the paper. These are very rich and creamy so use small spoonfuls. You should get 40 dollops from this recipe. Freeze until firm and
baggie. 32g carbs for the total recipe.

I'm probably gonna quarter the recipe...or maybe half. I'll see...will make them tomorrow and let you know how I like them.

Re pork rinds...

The hot n' spicy bbq flavored ones aren't bad at all - they'll knock down a crispy-salty craving.

I haven't tried them yet, but I've heard on good authority that the salt n' vinegar pork rinds are pretty good, too.

I made this for dinner tonight and thought I'd share:

Broccoli, Ham, Shroom Frittata

1 pkg frozen broccoli spears, cooked and diced
1 1/2 cups lean cooked ham, diced
2/3 cup mushrooms (sauted in butter if using fresh)
1/2 cup gouda, diced
6 eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream

Spray a large ovenproof skillet with nonstick spray. Beat the eggs and cream and set aside. Saute the ham until warm; add the broccoli and mushrooms. Gently pour the eggs into the skillet and turn the heat to low. Tilt the pan and lift the edges of the eggs periodically as you would an omelet. When they're almost set, sprinkle the top with the cheese and place the pan under the broiler until the cheese begins to melt and the eggs begin to turn golden.

4 servings, about 4.5 grams each

Hey, Keew, remember we discussed today how to mimic a quiche crust? Found this on a Canadian site:

...crustless quiche...I do mine using grated mozarella for the crust.

Just spread a layer of the mozarella over the bottom of the pan you are planning to bake it in.

Followed it with all of the goodies you are putting in it (mushrooms, brocolli, cheese cubes, shrimp...whatever)

Finally, pour the egg/cream mixture over the top. (number of eggs depends on size of quiche)

Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes or until the center is set. Let stand about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

I've found that quiche is a pretty forgiving recipe and you can have success with all kinds of combinations.


Worth a try, I think.

One more tonight...this sounds soooooooo good:

MOCK DANISH

2 oz cream cheese (soften in microwave)
1 egg
1 tblspn splenda
1 tsp lemon concentrate
1/2 tsp vanilla

Mix softened cream cheese and egg.
Add remaining ingredients.
Microwave on high for 2 minutes.

Variations and Hints:

I added some 50 fifty jam in the centre before nuking.. delicious.

It tastes better if you don't totally mix the egg and cream cheese; you get little pockets of crm cheese.

We had it again this morning but with cinammon and some butter in the centre when it came out of the microwave (omitted the lemon). Tasted just like french toast.

I tried it with quark instead of cream cheese (trying to cut down on dairy fat). It was yummy - more like custard than anything else. I used cinnamon and Splenda. It'd be great spooned warm over berries, or for those days when you're not feeling well and want something warm, eggy, and soothing.

I just made this with cinnamon and brown sugar twin instead of lemon and put some E.D. Smith no sugar maple syrup on it.

I made this several times! i just love it! i increased the cheese to 3 oz. I use davinci syrop and brown sugar twin to replace the splenda. i've done sevaral different flavours! very yummy! and fast!

Adding a teaspoon of cocoa gives you a brownie like dish. This could be dangerous!

Today for breakfast i made it savoury! i didn't want sweet for brekkie. i added parmesan cheese and dill. i also added a little salt, which i won't do next time. it was delicious! i just cook it in my regular soup/cereal bowls. then off to the dishwasher! this recipe is soooo versatile!

This recipe is fabulous! I have tried all kinds of variations. Sure beats eggs & bacon every day. 2 tblspns pumpkin & pumpkin pie spice sure makes a nice one. The small amount of sugar free jam in the middle is real nice.
