Hi All,
I purchased the book about a month ago, but I have not yet gone full speed ahead with following it completely.
i have lost 5.5 lbs since the beginning of March and hope to lose about 40 more.My husband would like to lose about 25 lbs.
I have been eating egg beaters with onions, peppers, spinach and mushrooms most mornings, salads for lunch with chicken that I bake with salt and pepper,using oil and balsamic vinegar as the dressing for the salad.I just found the La tortilla factory tortillas, and am planning to order gg crispbread this week. Dinners and late night snacks have been my downfall!
I was hoping that some of you would share your daily menu to help me and everyone else on here to succeed.
Thanks
Joanne
BTW Doug, my mother in law is friends with Barbara Varrieur, small world isn't it??
-
It is a small world! My cousin Steve, aunt Barbara's son has lost 75 pounds in the last 10 months. You mention snacks, what kind of snacks?
-
Baked tortilla chips, salsa, sour cream
baby carrots, hummus
chobani yogurt was a daily fav until I read your book and figured out the net carbs!
-
tortilla chips turn to sugar, salsa turns to sugar, humus turns to sugar, carrots turn to sugar. All your snacks are turning to sugar. Time to get back into the book. Make up some snack trays from the recipe section ;)

Hi Joanne,
I just started the diet last week so I am real newbie at it. I too am a late night snacker. I enjoy a snack at night so what I did was substitute my sugary snacks with peanuts. I went even further and bought a bag of raw peanuts and roast them myself. They taste amazing right out of the oven. Then I bag them up into little baggies and stick them in the pantry so it's easy to grab a bag when you feel snackish and not overindulge. I also pack them in my son's lunches instead of chips to save on his sugar intake.
I was never really a big peanut person but I love peanut butter cookies and when they are roasting they smell just the same. Give it a try!

Breakfast -
3 eggs
2 jalapenos
4 slices of turkey bacon
2 slices of Sargento pepper jack
Glass of water
= 3 carbs
Lunch -
2 cups Spinach salad w/ broccoli
3 TBSP of Hidden Valley Ranch
Glass of water
= 3 carbs
Dinner -
Plan on having:
Tortilla wrap with
2 Nathan skinless hot dogs
2 slices Sargento pepper jack
leaf of Romaine lettuce
2 Jalapenos
1 TBSP of mustard
= 7 carbs
The Sargento and Nathan's claim 0 total carbs.
I am hoping my count of a total of 13 correct.
-
Yobdab, you did a good job counting the carbs, easy isn't it :) The only thing I would have done differently is wrap my dogs in romaine lettuce leaves. I like the leaves for a wrapper more than anything for dogs, burgers, sandwiches etc... The frosting on the cake is I eliminate the carbs from the tortilla as well.
This is a good menu....you're going to shrink :)
-
this is a piece of my bread(.22 carbs) a slice of muenster cheese and 2 slices of salami after toasting it in a toaster oven..it was very tastey!!! the salami says 1 carb for 5 slices,cheese 0 carbs>>total carbs is less than 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Looks great!
-
;D it was !! :o
-
Drool... And all you did was substitute almond meal for pork rinds yes?
-
yes beebs that all i did...i used a 5oz bag of pork rinds,ground them up in my food processor and replaced the almond meal in the recipe with that........ i used bbq flavored for a little zip. as we speak i have something in the oven in which i used regular pork rinds,and i had you in mind when i was making it....don't ask why cuz i don't know..lol i am so hoping it turns out as i envision.I'll let ya know later tonite!!!
-
mmmmmmm deep fried shrimp with bbq pork rind breading!!!
we went without cocktail sauce>>> still very tastey!!!
-
You're on a roll my friend! Keep that creativity coming. I remember when I first started creating recipes low carb it seemed the possibilities were endless....and they are!
-
Go Gary! I feel so lazy now lol.
-

-
Wasn't hungry when I first got up today so just had my cup of coffee as I got ready.
Took 2 of my daughters out for lunch at a nice restaurant. Special of the day was buy one burger get one free for $8.99 -
I ordered my burger with onion, tomato slice, lettuce and cheese melted over the top...no bun of course.
These were not pressed burgers but homemade big burgers...NUM! Had broccoli, pea pods and green bean mixture on the side, kids ate the carrots that came with that. I was so satisfied after that meal...wasn't hungry again til about 6. Had leftover Macafoney and Cheese (a house favorite for all now :) and strawberries with a few toasted walnuts on the side...delish!!
Did a 3 mile Walk Away The Pounds workout with daughter #2 and now not hungry for a snack...just a tall glass of cool water...what a satisfying day! 8) Today marks 3 weeks for me :) Not weighing til Monday...
-
You are so on top of it! Well done, I'm sure you'll smile at weigh in if this has been your practice for last two weeks. In the meantime I think all 450+ forum members should rent busses and go to Katary's house for dinner!
-
Yesterday, I took my middle son to the doctor and then had to wait and wait and wait at SLOW-mart for his antibiotic prescription to be ready. I was planning to eat lunch at home. BUT....my 30 minute wait turned into an hour and twenty minutes, so I got hungry. My friend is the manager of the Blimpies inside the slowmart, so I asked her if I could just get the meatballs that they WOULD use for a meatball sub instead of the sub. She did it - no problem! I put them inside my 1/2 of a low carb pita which I have been carrying in my purse for just such an occasion. It was a yummy lunch, quick, cheap, and worked great in the little emergency that I was caught in. By the way, she only charged me $1.00 for the meatballs - BONUS!!!
-
I should take pictures of the inside of my purse owensmath its like a little pantry!Well done on the ,meatballs I will remember that one!
-
You gave me the idea to carry the tortillas, so I put a 1/2 pita in there, too! It's fun thinking of all the ways to be like a boy scout and "always be prepared!"
-
Its just that when I am hungry I want exactly what i want! If I eat sugar now its been over 7 years,I get really nauseous.Ruins my day!
-
i just finished peeling,slicing and cleaning a big fat jicama...anyone that has yet to try this is missing the boat,it's wonderful...so whatever i eat the rest of the week will have some version of jicama in it!!! also the spaghetti squash..highly reccommend it,i told my mother about the meal i made the other day & she roped me into cooking them dinner, spaghetti squash/alfredo w/blackened shrimp...so i guess i'll be doing that very soon:)
-
I had a BAD NAD night last night. I had a really really low sugar (40's) and totally fell off the wagon because I havent had time to keep prepared stuff in the fridge and no money to buy ANYTHING. I had 1/2 bag of cookies 2 bowls of regular cereal with REAL milk a spoonful of Jiff(gross) 2 handfuls of buttermints...I could go on but it's making me sick just talking about it.......
-
:'( beebs lucky for you it is only june... that gives you 6 months to get off of the naughty list & back on the nice list ;D
-
oh sweetie w00t lady, that just breaks my heart.....I'm praying for you dear beebs.... :-*
-
Well my blood sugar is finally normal again but Ive been off all day. I was so sick this morn I forgot to take my meds til late this after noon.....bleh...
-
hamburger helper??? this was yummy!!!!!!! jicama-hamburger-bacon-shredded hot pepper cheese :o
-
Very cool buddy! ;D
-
even more cool was dessert... we called this a "pink cow" when i was a kid ::)
-
Is that Bargs root beer? How does it turn pink??
-
lol....its cream soda ;D
-
Recipe and carb count for the jicama helper?
-
:) ;) :D ;D ::) i only made enough for 1 person..or i should say for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1/4 ground chuck(0 carbs)
4 slices of bacon(0 carbs)>>precooked
1/2 cup diced jicama(2.5 carbs)
handful of shredded hot pepper cheese(0 carbs)
olive oil(0 carbs)
i used salt,pepper,garlic salt,and cayenne pepper also!
pour enough olive oil to cover bottom of your pan,place diced jicama into pan and cook until browned,while cooking sprinkle with the spices,after jicama is browned,place ground chuck into pan to brown also,mixing in with jicama as you do so,then toss the bacon into the mix,breaking it into pieces as you go...once the whole thing is cooked & looks delicious,throw your handful of cheese on top to melt....then EAT!!!!!>>>>>>>>>>so 2.5 grams beebs,and i ate it all,maybe enough for 2 normal people ;D
-
hadn't eaten yet....gonna make this~ what a blessing~ thanks bro! ...yer so C 8) 8) L ...lol
-
sweet!
-
I just fixed jicama hash browns for the first time this morning for breakfast. I used them as a topping over a square of breakfast egg casserole that had eggs, pepper jack cheese and very lean hot pork sausage that we buy at the Farmer's Mkt. I threw in a large handful of a variety of herbs freshly picked from my herb garden. Can I just say "GOURMET FEAST". I love reading what everyone else is doing. You are all such an inspiration. I am spending today researching and menu planning. Goal is to have a 4 week rotating weekly menu plan for every meal complete with grocery list to simplify my life and use time efficiently. Once that is done, adding new recipes will be the icing on the ca, oh never mind.
-
I just had jicama hash browns sauteed in chorizo (chorizo was about two table spoons for flavor) two eggs soft scrambled and four slices of bacon. I over did it, I'm so full, I fill like I could pop ;D
-
Paula you are more organized then me!!
Katary here bargs only makes root beer! Still don't get how it turns pink but I will buy some cream soda and find out!Enquiring minds need to know???
-
Recipe and carb count southcarolina lady? servings?
-
umpa its barqs red cream soda>>> hence the pink color when poured over vanilla ice cream ::)
-
today i feel like i went out to a great place to eat..but i didn't :D we marinated jicama in olive oil,cilantro and mesquite>>> then marinated our mouthwatering shrimp in olive oil,garlic salt and blackened seasoning :o and off to the grill i went with both.... i wish i could say i saved some for my FTS friends...but that would be a BIG FAT LIE :'( >>>>>> possibilities are endless here for great meals and i am completely satisfied>>>>>BuRp....lol
-
You Rock Katary! I have never in my life heard of red cream soda! Sounds yummy though! ;D
-
chicken & salad & shrooms.....oh my :o very very very good meal>> baked chicken breast mine is the one w/salami & swiss on top...nice little salad... and stuffed mushrooms to boot :)>>>> gave the jicama a break today!!!!!!!!! i'll hit it hard tomorrow...lol
-
ahhhhhh i'd be remiss if i didnt mention HOT FUDGE SUNDAE ::)
-
Katary, what did you stuff the mushrooms with?
-
He needs to start posting recipes or he might get lynched!!! ???
-
i just threw the stems,a few slices of pepperoni and a handful of shredded hot pepper jack cheese into the food processor and spooned it into the cap :o
-
What happens if you dont have a grindy thing?
-
just chop them up as finely as you can by hand...that should work :D
-
Umpa says Im not allowed to touch sharp objects... :o
-
Please enlighten me...what is Jicama and is that diet Barqs pop...on CarbSmart Ice Cream?
That looks yummy! I must get some sweets in this house. 4 weeks with SF jello and whipped topping or strawberries. That is all I have had for treats. I could use something different.
Weigh in day is tomorrow! It has been 2 weeks.... 8)
-
yes its diet barqs and carb smart ice cream and it was yummy!!!!
jicama is a mexican potato that is as big as my head,looks like a brown pumpkin on the outside and has the consistency of an apple on the inside...it has a hint of sweetness & is very crunchy...you have to peel it before cooking or eating it,it doesnt have seeds in it,and i thought i would not like it..but i really kinda love it :)
PS its pronounced hee-cah-mah....boy did i look like an idiot asking if kroger had ja-ca-ma...lol
-
There are pictures of jicama on the official fat to skinny6 website.
-
Thank you! I will go buy one today!
-
this was great...i got the idea from the spanakopita post in "ask umpa",doesnt have the flakiness factor,and i didnt use the onions or garlic,but the reason i made it was to see if i could make a "dough" that i could layer,and i did achieve that ::),i had a piece for lunch,yummy,but didnt want to post it till i got my wifes opinion,with her mouth full,she gave me 2 thumbs up!!!!!! i think you can use any combination of fillings that you choose!!! i used eggs,feta-provelone-cream & parmesean cheeses,spinach,mushrooms & pepperoni :D
it came in at 1.33333 carbs per piece & for those who are not aware of it if you click on the pictures in any post,you will get a better view ;)
-
Um what's the recipe???
-
Well Done Gary! ;D
-
man i NEED to shave...lol after our evening walk>>> i hit the freezer for a popcicle made from sugarfree jello...i even got a little crazy and dipped the stick in marshmello cream before sticking into the jello and freezing it;)
-
We have the same popsicle molds that you have, but we never thought about using the sugar free jello! Cool idea.... I'm hoping you'll post YOUR recipe for that Greek looking stuff soon.... hint hint...
-
;D ok dough : 4 oz pork rinds-0 carbs(ground)
4 oz bbq pork rinds-0 carbs(ground)
4 tbsp egg whites-0 carbs
2 tbsp flax seed-0 carbs
4 tsp wheat gluten-2 carbs
1/2 tsp baking powder-0 carbs
1/2 tsp cream of tartar-0 carbs
1 packet of fast rise yeast- 0 carbs
1 1/2 cup of h2o-0 carbs
1/4 cup olive oil-0 carbs
mix all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl- add h2o and mix till you get a dough consistency-cover and let stand in warm place for 10 minutes>>drizzle dough with olive oil,then divide dough into 3 equal sized balls>>>we are making 3 layers of dough for this,but you have to bake each one separately or they just fall apart>>on a greased cookie sheet spread each dough ball out into 8 by 8 square(i did this 3 times,once for each layer)and place in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes per sheet,after they are done you will have 3 8 by 8 sheets of baked dough,and they will be very thin,but mine just slid right off the cookie sheet all in one piece,set aside while you prepare filling.
1st layer of filling : 5 oz baby spinach- 1 carb-? not sure of that
olive oil-0 carbs
6 oz cream cheese- 6 carbs
1 cup of feta cheese-0 carbs
1/2 cup shredded provelone-0 carbs
2 eggs-2 carbs
pour olive oil into saute pan on medium heat,add baby spinach and let saute till spinach is limp,mixing with olive oil as it sautes,when done remove from heat.
put cream cheese,feta cheese,provelone cheese & eggs into mixing bowl and beat with a fork until mixed together well, then add the spinach to it and continue mixing.
ok now i used a 8 by 8 baking pan,place 1 of your dough sheets in the bottom of the pan,pour in the 1st layer of filling that you just made,then place your 2nd dough sheet on top of that.
2nd layer of filling : 5 slices of provelone cheese-0 carbs
pepperoni>> i just used enough to cover the 8 by 8 area.- 0 carbs 4 large sliced mushrooms- 1 carb
place the 5 slices of provelone on top of the 2nd layer of dough,then spread your pepperoni on top of the cheese and then your sliced mushrooms,now place your 3rd layer of dough over the mushrooms,and tuck it in all the way around the pan,and brush the top of it with olive oil.place in 300 degree pre-heated oven for 35-40 minutes,then i sprinkled fresh grated Parmesan cheese on the top,and let sit in the oven till it melted.
sounds like alot of work but it only took me about 40 minutes to get it to the putting it in the oven stage,and it is soooo good. so i came up with 12 carbs for the whole pan/ 9 servings = 1.333 carbs per serving 8)
-
i didnt use ricotta cheese because i couldnt find anything with less that 6 carbs per serving,i didnt use the onions because i despise them,i didnt use the garlic because i didnt have any:(
when you are messing with the dough,make sure you put some kind of oil on your hands so the dough doesnt stick to your fingers or you will never get it spread out thin enough. :o
-
im thinking leftovers from my last creation for at least 2 days:)...it is one of those things that tastes just as good as a leftover:)
-
This morning I had 3 pieces of turkey bacon, eggbeaters with salsa on top..
Lunch was a green salad with homemade chicken salad on top..
An Atkins bar for a snack..
A turkey burger with swiss cheese melted on top (no bun)
Cauliflower "Mashed Potatoes"
String green beans mixed with horseradish & Dijon mustard
-
Looks good, what are the numbers on the Atkins bar? I`ve seen them accross the board.
-
Hello Doreenbar and welcome to the forum if I help you please let me know.I have a column called ask umpa where I can convert your favorite recipes.Have a great day! ;D
-
:D.....something different,and again something i never would have eaten before,and it was so freakin tastey :o lets see....i'll call it CAJUN NO-ONION SOUP>>>>>>>>>>and i have enough left over for at least 3 more meals,the only carbs came from the jicama...i'm guessing 1 carb per bowl....my wife wont eat it because i put crawlfish in it....but i gots to tell ya!!!! it could be a regular dish for me...it was that good :)
-
What a tease....I don`t see a recipe :'(
-
LOL.....doug the recipe is floating around in my head ::)....i'll have to write it down,and post it later,whenever i cook,i do most of it on the fly,just grabbing this & that,throwing it in.....tasteing it as i go,adding more if needed.....you know what i am talking about,right?? but i have a good memory,i will get it posted after we take our evening stroll in the 100 degree temps......lots of sweating ahead of me tonite,i also made a batch of the beanit butter cookies,havent tried 1 yet,but they look very......mmmmmmmmmmmm delisch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I just started the plan today, and am very excited! Here's what I've eaten:
Breakfast - 3 HB eggs with 3 slices extra crispy cooked bacon
Snack- 2 salami sticks
Lunch - chicken salad (made with canned chicken, 1/2 baby bell pepper and mayo), 1 GG crispbread, and a small salad of lettuce, cukes and 2 Tbsp Ranch dressing
Dinner - 3 parmesan encrusted chicken strips with 1.5 oz baby bellas sauteed in garlic, crushed red pepper and fresh cracked pepper
Snack - 1 cup puerh chocolate flavored tea with a splash of heavy cream and 1 packet Sweetleaf
According to CalorieKing, I've had 23g carbs and 8g fiber, which brings my net to 15. I absolutely loved everything I ate today and didn't feel deprived at all. I think I'm gonna like this WOE!
-
welcome home sweetmama ;),just stick to the plan & you'll be a happy camper ;) & dont be afraid to ask questions if you have any ;D
-
Thanks Katary. Great to be here! :)
-
Wow SweetMama parmesan encrusted chicken strips sound yummy!! I know what I'm making tomorrow ;D
-
Welcome SweetMama. Would love to know more about the chocolate tea! Where do you find it?
-
Sherripie - The chicken was fantastic! Tender, juicy and so flavorful. You will absolutely love it!
PaulaChappell - I read a review of the tea on a blog. Couldn't find it locally so I got it at Amazon. It was pricey for 1 box .. about $12 but its good.
It has a subtle cocoa with a nutmeg/cinnamon-like flavor. So its not something that would be the best replacement for the taste of chocolate. My son had a cup with me and he said it reminds him of pumpkin pie.
-
Forgot to add- the tea brand is Numi.
-
what does this WOE mean?
-
way of eating?
-
Ohhh.
-
On today's menu:
Breakfast - 2 HB eggs with 2 italian sausage patties
Snack- 3 oz grilled chicken with 1 oz shredded cheddar cheese
Lunch - 3 parmesan encrusted chicken strips with 2 oz baby bellas sauteed in garlic, crushed red pepper and fresh cracked pepper
Dinner - chicken salad (made with canned chicken, 1/2 baby bell pepper and mayo), 1 GG crispbread, 3 oz cukes and 1 Tbsp Ranch dressing
Totals - 19gm carbs - 6gm fiber = 13 Net Carbs and totally satisfied! :)
-
What time is the next meal?I am inviting myself over to your house! :D
-
Teach us SweeMama ;D
-
I'm back in town and Umpa just went out of town for 8 days :'( She left me a fridge full of great stuff including banana coconut cheesecake, Carma potato salad and her dark chocolate brownies. My cousin Steve who's dropped 75 pounds in the last 6 months flew in and we're batching it. Tonight I cooked Pork Chops Marsala (recipe in book) and we had Carma potato salad on top of garden greens on the side.......guess whats for dessert at movie time ::) Thanks honey :-*
-
Today was hectic, and I didn't plan my menu, just sorta took things as they came along. Here is what I ate:
Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs with 1 italian sausage patty and cheddar cheese
Lunch - 2 Claussen pickle halves and a Slim Jim (not the best choices, I know, but that was the best I could do while out running errands)
Dinner - 2 drumsticks and a salad (with cucumbers, onion, a small sprinkle of shredded cheddar and 3 Tbsp roasted parmesan ranch dressing
Snack - 1 cup puerh chocolate flavored tea with a splash of heavy cream and 1 packet Sweetleaf
Total - 18g carbs - 5gm fiber = 13 net carbs!
-
I am not following your carb count. Do you mean that in the whole day's menu, you only had 5 grams of fiber? I figure out the net carbs of each food item for my day and then add the net carbs for the day. It's easier for me to figure it out that way.
-
Owensmath - I log my menu's into Calorie King and let it do the figuring for me.
I was busy again today and didn't get to slow down to eat anything until late morning. The kids and I stopped into McDonald's and I had 2 double cheeseburgers, without the bun and ketchup. Not sure exactly how many carbs that ended up being considering I did not have ketchup, but according to what I could find on the internet, 1 burger is 6gm carbs and 1g fiber.
Late Breakfast/Early Lunch - 2 double cheeseburgers
Snack - 2 Claussen pickles
Early Dinner - pork chop and turnip greens
Total for the day: 29gm carbs - 14gm fiber = 15 net carbs!
-
that doesnt seem like much food for 15 carbs.....
-
hi SweetMama....welcome and God bless you~ have a question....just wondering why the burger is 6 carbs?...thanx~ :-\
-
Beebs - one burger without the bun is suposedly 5 net carbs
Cyndi - the only carb count I could find for the burger without bun included ketchup so I'm sure that's where most of the carbs come from in the count. I did not have ketchup and I don't know how much is normally used so I just went with that amount.
-
The burgers are far less than 5 carbs each, 0 for the meat, 0 for the cheese, 1/2 for the lettuce, 1 for the onion, 1 for a big slice of tomato....maybe 2.5 in total each.
-
the cheese might have 1 carb though. if it was coated with potato starch to keep it from sticking lol!
-
lol....its cream soda ;D
I can't find DIET Barg's cream soda anywhere around here :(
-
the soda must be fairly new founditatlast....i finally seen some at my meijers last week...might try some soon~ sounds lovely 'ey ! :P
-
You guys are probably right about the burger. About the cheese, I was reading on another forum today from a woman whose boyfriend works for McD's and he told her that the cheese has 2 carbs per slice! I wish they had a nutritional menu or database that listed each component to a sandwich. That would be awesome.
-
They do. It's a book. Any dietitian or nutritionist has one and McDonalds can also give you a nutrtional paper if you ask.
-
They showed me the back of one of the papers they put on your tray but it only had the totals for a whole sandwich. I will keep searching.

Hey Katary, I saw your picture and you should be very proud of yourself. I'm sure your wife is very proud of you too. Do you exercise???
Also, where is the "bread recipe" you used for your sandwich?
Thanks and have a great day!

Well here is an awkward situation. My husband was the guest speaker today at a national marriage conference in Gatlinburg, TN. Everyone has been very kind and genuine. When they told me that lunch was a potato bar, I nearly fell on the floor. I politely said, "I'm sorry, but I can't have that." They had to ask the chef to make me a salad. I felt special until I looked at the pack of salad dressing they gave me. It had 10 carbs per serving!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ate a couple bites of lettuce and cucumber that didn't have much dressing on it. After lunch, I excused myself and stopped by our lodge room and grabbed an Atkins bar (3 net carbs). That is another reason to be prepared. You just never know. There were other diabetics here and the lady in charge said, "Well, one diabetic said he would just eat the chilli (for topping) by itself." I replied, "I'm sorry, but there are way too many carbs in the tomato sauce and beans in that for me." Dang, people just don't know the truth yet, do they?

:) hey Susie ;D yes i do exercise now,but before i was so fat and out of shape that i would huff & puff just going up stairs :'( no more.... when i make bread i use umpas spinach bread recipe,but instead of almond flour i use ground up pork rinds... and instead of eggs i use powdered egg whites & h2o ( no carbs in either item) i also add different ingredients to flavor it .... different cheeses,spices,whatever sounds good to me at the time,i like to mix it up, my 14 yr old daughter has requested pizza bread... so this weekend i am making a loaf with provelone,pepperoni & pizza spices.... if i can get a camera man, i may make a video of it:) i also am thinking of putting a blackened chicken/mushroom soup on the menu..... it just sounds good:)
-
that sucks donna :'( got any room in your purse for some walden farms ranch dressing?????..... i guess they figured since it was for married folks, that they didnt care if they made them fat :-[
-
I like Kens Steakhouse caeser it's carb free and yummy.

My Turn! 8) 8) 8)
BBQ Ribs and Jicama Potato Salad!
-
O MY Goooooodness Doug!!! YUMMMMMMM !!! :P :P :P
yep gary, I tossed it around in the hot grape-seed oil a few times with the onions until browning, then added the toms...after a couple minutes of letting it sit while frying, then I made a center for the egg, let it fry a bit, then covered the pan and shut the heat.....it got the perfect crispiness on the bottom like when you fry an egg and the tenderness was pleasing, not mushy~~ it slid nicely onto the dish...
I also forgot to mention I sprinkled mrs. dash table blend seasoning and a few sprinkles of cayenne pepper ;D! mm mm good~
-
you two are killing me:) i already ate:) and in my past posts i mentioned how much i liked ribs:) STOP NOW :P

We went to Red Lobster tonight and I ordered the broiled seafood platter (shrimp, scallops, flounder). When our server said, "You're not eating bread? It's so delicious!" and then he went on with his cajoling...I put a stop to it by telling him that he didn't have any bread in the restaurant that could taste as good as losing 25 pounds feels. I told him his bread was not even the slightest bit tempting to me. And, truthfully, it wasn't! After we left, I told my husband that I think that was the first time that I didn't have any of Red Lobster's tartar sauce on a visit there. I didn't even miss it. How cool!!! Oh, I had steamed broccoli and a side salad with my broiled seafood.

Went to Chili's for lunch yesterday and had a house salad without croutons(and they actually brought it without the croutons), and a burger with mustard. Boy, did the waitress' eyes get big when she saw the big pile of poison I left on my plate that they were NOT supposed to bring (french fries and bun). I love the feeling of going out to eat and being satisfied but not feeling bloated and disgusting when you leave.
-
ermmm. beebs hungry now lol. Where is Tyler!!! SHOW HIM THESE PICS! I can barely stand to eat pork rinds right now..... :P
-
Owensmath doug makes the best tartar sauce.Ask him for the recipe.I love it with fried fish and onion rings!
-
Chopped garlic pickle, hellmans mayo and some fresh chopped dill :)
-
sounds delish
-
Beebs Tyler said those fries look delish but I wonder if I can cook them without messing them up. :'(
I was goona make those bars Paula said with cho. chips PB & pork rinds when I said pork rinds he said no way I will have to do it on the slide . Cause that looked like a easy recipe no cooking !
-
jicama all gone:( but i saved the best for last :) cheesey jicama fries......... were very very very (infinity) good:)
-
Katary, did you deep fry the jicama in peanut oil? Did you coat it with anything first?
-
make sure you boil the jicama for at least 30 minutes to get it to soften up.
-
You boil it then fry it Beebs ? Tyler said he would try those .
-
yup i boiled them for about 20-25 minutes in salt water,then i just deep fried them in canola oil:) salted to taste & covered them with cheese (mozzarella) and put them in the oven till the cheese melted:)
ps..... make sure that you keep them in the fryer long enough to get crispy:)
-
Do they hace any carbs at all ?
-
according to the FTS book jicama has 2.5 carbs per 1/2 cup serving:)
-
i just made these crackers:) they are .16 carbs per cracker....thats what i said .16 carbs per cracker:) and they are awesome:)
-
recipe?
-
I want some!
Please give us the recipe! Pwwease?
-
oh this is sooooo simple that even the beebenwacker can make it:)
4 ingredients : 1 cup shelled sunflower seeds
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup h2o
sprinkle garlic salt
***** the sunflower seeds i found are 1 net carb per 1/4 cup and that's all the carbs in this 4 total carbs**************************
put the sunflower seeds and the Parmesan cheese into your "grindy thingy" some people call them food processors? until they become "flourlike" then add the water and pulse the processor till the mixture becomes dough like:)
preheat oven to 325******* line a cookie sheet with parchment paper>> put the dough mixture on the paper & place another piece of parchment paper on top of the dough,pressing down with your hands & spreading the dough to a very,very thin layer ( just make sure you don't have any holes in the dough)remove the top piece of parchment,sprinkle with garlic salt,and with a pizza cutter,score the dough into squares>> and into the oven for 30 minutes>>> then its done>> break the crackers apart and see if you can eat just one:)
PS you can use different cheese for the same results but different flavor,same with spices instead of the garlic salt:)

beebs have you ever shopped at whole foods?
-
Had a wonderfull lunch with the leftover food from the Mexican Fiesta!
Mixed the enchilada filling with the rest of the beans (black soy) and heated it all up in the microwave....made a nice green salad, put a little ranch dressing on the greens then a handful of pork rinds then the hot meat and bean mixture then some grated Jarlsberg cheese which melted nicely :) ABSOLUTLY delish and filling...nil for carb count :) The rinds get soft pretty quick so eat the ones in the salad first then have a few "scooper's" on the side!
-
Ooooh that looks good Doug. Wait, wouldn't the lettuce, tomatoes, and black soy beans be a 1 or 2 carbs?
-
Yes, the whole plate is 3.5 carbs
-
That looks SO good!
-
Just had a Stir Fry....Aspargus, Brocolli, red & green peppers, red onion, chicken, sesame seeds, ginger and finally found the soy noodles..(sorry Doug cant remember the name just took the trash out..lol)...LOVED IT!!!....Made a batch so have about 3 more servings in the fridge... ;D
-
This morning had 1/2 a small shredded eggplant fried with a slice of diced tomato and onion, chopped fresh spinach...
then and egg in the center...
Hi Cyndi,
I found this in one of your old posts from August 7th. I wanted to ask you how you prepared the fried eggplant . It looked good.
Thank you a bunch!
-
this was great...i got the idea from the spanakopita post it came in at 1.33333 carbs per piece & for those who are not aware of it if you click on the pictures in any post,you will get a better view ;)
Hi Katary,
This looks amazing, in fact all of your dishes look really good. I was wondering if you thought this could be made with almond meal instead of the pork rinds? Or if not almond meal, could you recommend something non-animal based? Did the crusts stay crispy after the final bake? I have another L/C spanakopita recipe that uses egg as the "crust" and a few different spices (dill, mint) yet your recipe looks amazing. Thanks :)
-
katary can you re-post the bread recipe that you had salami and cheese melted on? I scanned the post but it is 11 pages!!! Your photos are the best! :) :)
-
Ok so Doug, what did you use for BBQ sauce on those ribs? Did it caramelize?
-
Does Calorie King add things properly? As in subtotaling carbs and net carbs individually for each item consumed, or does it do it so that you could eat 50 carbs all day, no fiber, then at the end of the day have a health bar with 50 grams of fiber and then call it 0 net carbs for the day (which of course would be inaccurate)? I’m just wondering how it works, and if it’s worth it. It seems easy to count net carbs, so why pay a website to do it? Am I missing something?
