YES! That looks fantastic! Almost identical to my recipe except instead of water I use chicken broth and an egg to "glue" together and I add chestnuts or walnuts and fresh garlic. I gotta try this!! Thanks for the idea Cleo! Got any gravy to go with it??

Chicken Spinach Alfredo Pizza

You'll need the fabulous Zucchnini Crust by Jamie (aka The Fabulous Cleochatra).



[0] Chicken (I used one can, drained)
[1] Bag of Spinach
[4] 2 Cup Heavy Cream
[0] 2 Egg Yolk
[0] 3 Tbls Butter
[2] 1 cup Grated Romano

---------Total----------

[3] Toppings (makes enough to cover 2 LARGE pizzas OR Reserve to make something else... )
[9] Zucchini Crust
[12] Entire Pizza

[2] per slice (at 6 giant slices)

Cook and dice your chicken or open a can, drain and squeeze in a towel to get the excess juice out. Put aside.

Blanche bag of spinach, drain and squeeze in a towel to get excess water out. Put aside with chicken. Mix thoroughly. I had to run scissors through the spinach to get it declumped to mix with the chicken. Put aside.

Put 3 tbls butter in sauce pan and melt. Add 2 cups heavy cream and bring to a boil. Put beat the egg yolk by hand to liquify. Add to the heavy cream when it comes to a boil. Stir the heavy cream and egg with a beater. Add the cup of Romano cheese. Keep stirring with the beater till happy with the consistency. Add the chicken and spinch and mix with a large spoon or spatula. Turn down heat.

Top pizza crust. Spread evenly. Serve!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... sooooooooo good.

Hi Ladies, recipes look great!

I have a soup for you. Forgot to take a pic before it was gone. Everyone loved it, my skinny peeps too. ;o)

Cheesy cauliflower soup - rich and creamy

1/2 lb - or 6-8 pieces up bacon, fry and crumble - set aside

1 small head cauliflower - chopped small
1/2 onion diced
3 stalks celery diced
3/4 stick butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 lg box chicken broth + 1 can or equivalent
2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese

Sautee onion and celery in butter on medium heat until softened
Add chopped cauliflower - Sautee together - do not brown, just a few minutes
Add chicken broth - bring to boil
Reduce heat to medium, low boil, cook until cauliflower is soft

You can use hand blender at this point and blend until cauliflower falls apart or skip this step - you decide on how chunky

Add cream - continue low boil
Add cheese - stir in well until cheese melts
continue cooking on low about 10 minutes, don't forget to stir so it won't stick
Add crumbled bacon - stir in --can put aside some crumbled bacon and cheese as topping

add S&P if desired...mine didn't need it.

This is like a potato chowder. You could add broccoli, spinach or whatever your creative tastebuds come up with, but it's good without the extras.

You can also process your own almond flour from unsalted, canned almonds for a fraction of the cost of almond flour (the last time I checked, a pound of almond flour was $13).

Thanks, Cleo--

This helps alot, I'm sticking with my piggy pancakes and "buns".

[cleochatra]

Erica--in this economy everything helps. When I saw almond flour selling for $13 a pound at my local store I about pitched a holy fit. That's insane.

to the recipe and ideas

[ddhall725]

I had lived the low carb lifestyle for 2 yrs, and it worked. I went from 500 to 240, and I have slowly crept back up to 360. Today I am at 330, and have been on a reduced calorie low-fat diet, and I remember the energy and balance that I experienced with the low carb lifestyle and want that back. Today is day one, and I have planned all but snacks for the first week (induction). Any suggetions with induction friendly snack foods would be helpful. Thank you. This is my first experience with a chat room type interactive cyber thing.

[BarbDe]

DD I like to keep sliced veggies on hand, with ranch dressing for dipping. Sliced up cheese, pepperoni, pickles. Deviled eggs. After a few days you won't even be looking for snacks!
Good luck to you. Hang in there!

[pennylovesdarren]

Hi and dd! Keep chicken salad, egg salad, tuna salad on hand for when you just need a bite of something.
