Here is my swordfish, spinach and shrimp dinner -


And this is my kielbasa and cheddar omelette


My 4pounder. . .


Thanks for all your pictures people, YUM !

Hey I just got those same plates for my BD!
Seafood, yummmmm!

[jennbaker]

BarbDe: I just bought new plates too! I can't wait to cook and showcase pretty foods on them!!! (although they look like my small plates I've been using!) --- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

GonnaLose40: You can eat them without the bun, watch out for ketchup (a lot of sugar in there). A lot of people use Cleo's Oopsies in place of hamburger buns. The Lighter Side of Low-Carb: The Sailor Scouts make my Revol-oopsie rolls!

I hope that helps!!!

[GonnaLose40]

Thank you! I'm defiantly trying those this Weekend!

[jennbaker]

There are a few threads on cleo's blogs with tips for the oopsies. If you underbeat the egg whites they'll be runny and flat. If you over mix the egg whites with the yolk/cream cheese mixture they'll be runny and flat. It's definitely worth reading up on to have a more successful first attempt.

barbde: I just noticed the wrench in the background of your lobster pic. Is that for those massive claws?

I love visiting this thread.

Oopsies have been such a blessing to us - I use them for occasional snacks (slathered in butter,sprinkled with Splend and cinnamon), for sandwiches (sometimes use lettuce wraps, instead), and know I'm just at the tip of the oopsie iceberg!

The amazing versatility of cauliflower is awesome to explore, too! - going to try the cauliflower pizza next week and the cauliflower pan-fried cakes tomorrow morning for breakfast!

Made my first batch of Oopsies! What a life saver. I made a breakfast Tostada at work with mine.

scrambled 1 egg (microwave 1 minute), 1 oz cheddar (another 30 seconds), 2 slices of bacon (precooked at home),

Layered egg, then bacon on top of an oopsie! Loved it. My employees still can't believe I am dieting!

Those pics belong to ChaiLatté! I was just commenting on them.

[jennbaker]

hahahah! oopsie!!!

Alright Chai: is the wrench for the massive claws?

[MzMelissa]

I don't know what I am doing wrong with my oopsies, they work but they are not nearly as pretty as yours....

[BarbDe]

I'm putting this over here too, with Father's Day coming up and all.
CLAMBAKE in a CAN. (1 can, 1 burner, so much food!) (Corn and potato not induction friendly, so toss a salad together or other veggie if you are not on OWL)

Check it out! Clams, muscles, Yummmmm

[ChaiLatté]

haha jenn! The wrench was out for other purposes, but we DID actually end up beating the lobster with it! The shell was SO incredibly thick! :-)

[jennbaker]

from the massive amount of threads that I've read and tutorials here's what most people do wrong

* under beat the whites --- they get really stiff. poke them with your finger! they should bounce

* overmix the whites with the yolk mixture --- I've been overmixing mine and they come out really flat (pancakes!) --- I keep thinking visually that they aren't mixed, but if you look at the oopsies posted on this thread you can actually see the color variation in each oopsie, where it's not perfectly mixed

* there is another thread on here somewhere where someone posted a lot about egg whites and how to beat them and work with them. that citation suggested mixing the whites INTO the yolk mixture -- said it would keep the integrity of the whites better --- and if your whites break down, there goes your fluff.

I hope that helps. This is all textbook knowledge since I have yet to make a successful batch of oopsies!

Jenn

Then slice the artichoke in half lengthwise... using a spoon scoop out the fuzzy choke... rub each half with lemon or let it sit in lemon water or it gets brown quickly.

Then... once the artichoke is prepared I steamed it with some lemon and then sliced it into quarters, stuffed some garlic between the leaves... heated some butter and evoo in a pan... seasoned the pan with salt and pepper and then sauteed the artichokes in the mixture and then squeezed some more lemon juice on top.

Now I don't always steam the asparagus first, sometimes I just saute it raw and then pour some lemon juice or chicken broth or white wine and put the cover on for a few minutes.

Sometimes I also roast or grill the artichokes and dip in butter or in an aioli. I love artichokes!

Thanks!! I am going to attempt this on "Fight Night Party" coming up. As for the lamb, eek. I just cannot come around to it. I was a vegetarian for years. lol..There are just some foods I can't eat. But my mom sure loves a lamb with mint jelly? Something like that. lol - Thanks for posting. I came back looking for you!



I have yet to make Ooopsie! lol


Happy Sunday all.

I cooked a big slab of fresh Alaskan Salmon hubby caught when he went there. I baked it with spinach, onion and garlic. Then for dinner he bbq Yellow tail he caught in Mexico with grilled peppers and olive oil. Fish rocks


That Swordtail looked EXCELLANT!!! Love that fish too.

[cleochatra]

I want to introduce you to my friend. Remember loaded baked potato? Who? WHO?

I want you to meet loaded broccoli. She and I just made friends this weekend and I love her. Featured here with butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits and fresh chives.

[BrandNewMe2004]

O & V is oil & vinegar, right?
That loaded broccoli did it for me. Ahhhh.... That looks so good!!!

[Lotpodz]

CLeo, that looks delish and I dont even like broc!

[cleochatra]

Lotpodz-- You could load up cauliflower for the same effect! I am telling you, I'm not a major fan of broccoli, but OMG. I mean O. M. G.

And it is so easy to make! I just threw a half cup o broc in a bowl in the microwave with a plate on top (and a tbsp of water) for 2 minutes. It was gorgeous green. Then I topped with the cheese and all the rest. Totally fast, and it tastes fantastic. My husband ended up eating half of mine, and even he admitted he's not a normal joneser of the broc.

[Lotpodz]

AWESOME, thanks!!

one question...did you cook the bacon yourself or buy precooked?

OK. That looks GORGEOUS! Lookit that pretty GREEN color! *slurp*
Dang! I went to the produce market today and did NOT get broccoli.
I do have cauliflower though. I will give that a go for lunch tomorrow!!
And I am finally able to drive myself so I got to the grocery too and got bacon and eggs and cheese! I am ready to rock n roll again! Woot!

Did this with chicken tonight! Another winner! And cheaper than shrimp!

[jennbaker]

Barbde: glad you can drive again!

Cleo: that broccy looks awesome!

BrandNewMe: I figured that out while I was driving. For some reason I was just really super dense when I read that. Could NOT for the life of me figure that one out. Goofy.

[cleochatra]

Barb-- WOOHOO on being able to drive again! I am so glad you are doing better! Are you feeling pretty well? I mean in that you're better than before surgery (in a manner of speaking)?
