1-2 Jalapeno's (depending on how spicy you like)
Cilantro

Boil the tomato until the skin peels, then add in tomato with avocado, garlic, jalapeno, and cilantro and blend. Allow to chill in fridge.

Grill beef (or Chorizo) and warm tortillas (I use a seperate pan with a bit of vegetable oil then throw on grill so they get a bit crispy) and pull off tortillas when they start to turn brown.

Combine everything and enjoy!
Ohh, that looks like something my DH would really like with the avocado.

*note to newbies... nope the tortillas are not induction friendly! Sorry! But you can have the food without the tortillas!

I love that I am not the only crazy person that takes pictures of their food!

OH Cleo I forgot to tell you! I tried your buns the other day.
Came out flat as pancakes LOL. Still worked though. I need to work on perfecting that though. I haven't had "sammiches" in forever! I made a grilled cheese. My all time favorite! It worked. But like I said = FLAT.
(I actually tried making them in these bowls that I have that would be perfect hamburger bun size. That made a horrible clean up problem. But they were nice and round!! LOL)
I'll give it another go this weekend.

When they go that flat, if they're still flexible, you could use them like a pita. I did that last weekend when I made lamb and tzatziki! It was awesome!

I meant to ask you. When they turn out correctly, are you able to slice them in 1/2 so that one bun makes a top and a bottom? No way I was slicing mine!

hey where is that firecracker picture? and the peppers?

Oh Barb did you whip your egg whites to stiff peaks and lighten the yolks firsr? I got normal lokking muffins when I used my nuffin tim.

Just mix the cream cheese soffened with the eggs first then after the whites are peaked add about 1/3 of them to the yolk mixture and that will as Julia Childs saod lighten then. then fold the lightened mix gently into your whites and scoop out about 1/4 cup for each muffin if you use refular ones and 1/2 cup if you got muffin tops. then bake them delishes

I made italian ones with paregean cheese and herbs and garlic I baked them 1.2 way cause I was afraid the fat would make the whites fall aand then added the cheeses herbs and garlic. I could have added garlic powder to the yolk mix but I wanted real garlic.

No. The buns stay as they are. I've never tried to slice one in half. You could give it a shot, but they're pretty flat after a couple of days as it is!

Here are some more food pictures:

The first two are Lamb Gyro and Tzatziki (one on the oopsie roll)(not induction friendly if one uses the tzatziki). The last is a low-carb pizza on the revoloopsie roll.

Because I live in the middle of nowhere and can't find that yummy looking Fried Cheese...I found this:

Queso Blanco Recipe
...
This is by far the easiest cheese to make. Called Queso Blanco in the Spanish speaking (it means "white cheese") world it is used throughout the world by different names. It can be eaten strait or mixed in with various dishes. Try it in your lasagna recipes instead of Ricotta or in addition to it. Yum!
INGREDIENTS
.
1 Gallon Whole Milk
1/4 Cup White Vinegar**
.

Heat milk to 180 F (82 C) stirring constantly. Be careful not to burn the milk.
While mixing with a whisk, slowly add the white vinegar. You will notice the milk begins to curdle.
Keep stirring for 10-15 minutes.
Line a colander with a fine cheesecloth.
Pour the curdled milk through the colander.
Allow the curds to cool for about 20 minutes.
Tie the four corners of the cheese cloth together and hang it to drain for about 5 - 7 hours (until it stops dripping).
The solidified cheese can be broken apart and salted to taste or kept unsalted.
** The juice of 3-5 lemons may also be used in substitute or addition to the vinegar. The resulting cheese will have a much more tangy flavor.

I wonder...could you use heavy cream instead of milk?!?! Going to try this today, will keep you posted!

The pizzas are TDF. I can't wait until I'm out of induction to use alfredo, pine nuts and pesto! They get all nice and tasty under the broiler!

we made cheese here 2 yrs ago and the amount of fat in the milk will drastically effect the final outcome. Cheese really needs some milk for the protein infastructure. the whey liquid you pour off will have most of the carbs in it and why aged cheeses don't have as many carbs as the fresh stuff does.
you can add cream to regular milk to boost the fat and lower the carbs per serving if you want.
the lemon juice does effect the flavor too.

instead of just hanging you might want to press it with a weight on top to assist that liquid coming out.

the end result will be a bit crumbly but you can shape it and fry if you want
yu can buy something called rennet in the store to add to the milk too for making cheeses

Three Cheese Spinach Bake

2 (10oz) pkgs frozen, chopped Spinach – defrosted & liquid squeezed out
½ cup + 2 T unsalted butter, divided
1 medium onion chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
1 cup of heavy cream
8 ounces cream cheese
¾ cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese

Heat 2T butter in medium pan. Sautee onion til tender. Add drained spinach and garlic. Heat everything together for 5-10 minutes. Transfer to casserole dish sprayed with Pam. Preheat oven to 350°.

In same pan you used to sauté the onion and spinach, heat the heavy cream, cream cheese and ½ cup butter until all the cream cheese has melted. Add the fresh grated Parmesan cheese and stir until you have a wonderful sauce. (If it gets too thick, add a little more heavy cream). Pour the Parmesan cheese mixture over the spinach; add salt & pepper to taste. Stir until the spinach and parm mixture have completely blended. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and bake in preheated 350° oven for 10-15 minutes until the top cheese layer is melted and bubbly. Pull out of oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

8 servings.
Each: 413 calories; 40g fat; 10g protein; 6g carbs; 2g fiber; 4 net carbs.

*from what I remember this recipe makes a LOT of sauce. But boy, is it good!
This is a Dana Carpender recipe. She’s got a couple good low carb books out there!

Here is a simple induction level stir-fry dish that I love.. its a bit spicy but you can use less sauce if you want.



You'll need:
Chicken Breast (I just use the frozen Tyson brand)
Fresh broccoli (and any othr veggies you want)
Chili Garlic Sauce (look at all the brands, kind I get has 3carb/serving)

Thats it!
Put in some vegetable or olive oil, then add chicken, cook til chicken is nearly done then add in veggies and keep cover on pan to allow to steam, then add in sauce and stir for a couple minutes and serve.
epix,

Does the Tyson chicken have HFCS in it? Has it caused you to stall at all? I am always so nervous about eating processed meats, because goodness only knows what kind of crazy additives are in them!

islesgirl,

subscribing means posting, as you already have, so that this thread will be listed in your subscriptions in your control panel and will be in your list when someone makes a new post to it.
