INDUCTION FOOD PORN!!! #2

[cleochatra]

Thank you for being so sweet!

One final thing and I'll be done. I have some work to do in the kitchen this morning. Eek!

Barb initially set this food porn-a-palooza up for two week induction per Atkins 2002, not including addition of anything beyond what Atkins intimates in the book for induction. If it starts incorporating things beyond those two weeks, it's not as impressive a collection, since the point is to knock peoples' socks off with what's supposed to be the most austere point in the journey. Many don't know this, but since someone asked, I wanted to put her intentions out there.

Cerise, if you've not read the book, you're doing pretty well making educated guesses, but I'd check out the full list! You might be missing out on some amazing things you didn't even know were allowed.

And, unfortunately, 2 carbs or not, soy is not until legume rung. I know it's a bummer! It could be one of the reasons folks want out of induction ASAP--to get to that rung!

Induction is strict, but it's gorgeous! I love it for its simplicity, and on this thread, for it's gorgeousness. If we put in other, non-induction stuff, it sends the wrong message to friends (and look at how many pageviews we have!) and it makes us look uneducated about the lifestyle--which we're most definitely not.

In fact, Dr. Atkins would be seriously proud of us right now. I mean beaming proud.

Even though Barb's not here, I know she thinks we're cool beans, too. (She's off being a busy college student with hot abs).

Anyway...

Here's a pot pie I made with oopsie roll crust. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. And with fall coming I'm definitely in the mood for more gutwarming food.

[RobinB]

Good reminders, Cleo! And please send me some of that potpie!!

[dollkey]

Potpie???????????? How? What? HOW???

[cleochatra]

The pot pie is super easy and fun. I use my own alfredo recipe to make the sauce, but you can use canned, too!:

Jamie's Chicken Pot Pie

Crust: Oopsie roll dough

3 ounces cream cheese
3 eggs, separated
1/8 tsp cream of tartar

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Beat whites with cream of tartar for 3-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, mix yolks with cream cheese. Combine the two bowls carefully, folding ingredients together until just blended.

Pour batter into 2 greased 9" pie pans and bake for 30 minutes. Makes 2 crusts (this recipe uses only 1 crust).

Filling:

1 cup Alfredo sauce
1 cooked, chopped chicken breast
1 can green beans/carrots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine filling ingredients. Pour into prepared, baked crust.

Topping:
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Top casserole with cheese and bake at 350 degrees until cheese is bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Makes 8 servings.

Dreamfields is not for induction--it's the grain rung.

Depending on what the shiritaki noodles are made from (I can never remember), they're likely not an induction item. Yams are starchy veggie rung and soy is the legume rung.

I use spaghetti squash for pasta. It's definitely induction friendly!

There are definitely rules, acceptable foods, ones that aren't ok, etc, based on problems people tend to experience re: food intolerances. Even if tofu is low carb, it's a high food allergy issue, which is why Atkins relegates to the legume rung. And even if miracle noodles are yam fiber, yam isn't ok until that rung. Atkins tried very hard to make smooth sailing for the longest possible period of time for low carbers.

Hopefully no one ever feels picked on when one of us gives the finger wag. It's done in love. As far as I'm concerned, we're all a family!

Didn't realise you couldn't eat them on induction. Sorry.

Perhaps we should come up with a few rules if this is such a problem?? And if that happens, open a Induction Food Porn 3 with links to both of the former threads and post in the very 1st post the rules for the thread! Then lock this one.

I'm truly glad I have never posted a recipe on this thread. It is this very kind of thing that has driven me off other boards.

Cleo, I love you and the hard work you have done creating and posting recipes, but the title is Induction porn not 'induction 2002 porn." I even went back and read Barb's original post (but not the whole thread) and don't see a reference to 2002. On NANY soy products are allowed on induction and shiritaki noodles are also. And really hating to be picky, carrots aren't.

I'm sorry if I opened a disagreement that was over, but it was really bugging me. And now, I will bow out.

Once again, sorry if I have upset the apple cart.

[Rbenz]

Geez...Kids! Let's play happy in our sand box!
I actually, did cook up some Shrimp Scampi tonight. I guess, I'll hold off on the Shirataki noodles w/shrimp/pix. I do have a pic w/the shrimp w/o the noodles.

[cleochatra]

If in making my points I've chased people off of the thread, then I'm glad you're letting me know.

I will seek to help people where correct information is embraced as being helpful and important and not seen as 'being mean'. Sorry for making people too scared to post. My goal for this thread has always been to give helpful, correct information, and I feel I've always been kind in doing so; apparently I'm a bit of a bully.

I'll leave you all to it. No worries!

[BrandNewMe2004]

You know, this BS is probably why I tend to post my porn at the Atkins Food Porn thread. I'm less likely to goof on allowed foods there.
<3 you, Cleo. PLBBT to the detractors.

[Madam De Leon]

Argh- this doesn't have to be so difficult and result in such hard feelings.

There are some ingredients which are always allowed on induction on all plans. If we limited the pron to only ingredients which are allowed on every single induction version of every single plan, we'd be extremely limited in what we could post here.

For the ingredients that are allowed on one plan but not on another, perhaps simply adding a little disclaimer on the recipes with iffy ingredients - something along the lines of:

The XXX and OOO in this recipe might not be allowed during your plan's induction. Check your book to be sure, and eliminate that ingredient, or make substitutions if necessary!

Not out of the thread, only out of the argument. The only reason I haven't posted pictures is because my 6 yr old laptop doesn't like my beautiful new canon eos.

Or simply state which induction we are using.

That's work too.

[cleochatra]

FWIW, Charlielou and I are going drinkin'. If anyone wants to come, we'll have the limo swing around to get you.

BTW, I'm not mad or in a huff. I'm a simple chick and this thread has grown too complicated for my Aquarius brain. I will def see everyone around LCF. I need the break I think. We all do sometimes.

Cleo.. Have your Limo swing by my 42..

[Monkee]

You guys are killing me. A whole page of posts and no food porn!

I think people should just read the book and educate themselves. Yes, maybe an ingredient is posted here and there that is not on the list, but then again, even on Atkins, there are different inductions with slight variations.

These were oven baked wings that came out very crispy and yummy! I made three different kinds from left to right Cajun wings, Original salt and pepper wings, Chinese chicken wings. All three were really good!




This was a very good restaurant quality meal. Tuscan Pork Medallions served on basil parmesan mashed cauli.





Parmesan crusted tilapia and shrimp with loaded green beans (sour cream, cheese, bacon, mushrooms)





Butter herb roasted chicken breast and vegetables roasted with olive oil, parmesan, and a splash of balsamic vinegar.




Rosemary ranch chicken and grilled vegetables. The vegetables were marinated in the same marinade from the Rosemary ranch chicken. Very good!




The grilled veggies

U can't post pics like these and not post the recipes LOL. Do u use an outdoor grill?

[Rbenz]

NO PIX of Food? Heck, I just saw a Bunch of Aqua's!

[Rbenz]

Cleo~Take your Break and then hurry on back!

[superhthr]

Thank you all so much for this amazing thread! I was so close to calling it quits and scarfing down every carb I could find. I was drowning in temptation

This thread slapped me back into my right mind. It's like a low carb public service announcement. I am excited to see all of the delicious treats I can actually indulge in. I'm off to make some pepperoni chips with cream cheese.

Hi

I actually used an indoor stovetop grill but it left beautiful grill marks!

I do have some of the recipes that I can post for you.

I baked the wings at 375 for about an hour turning a few times during cooking. It seems like a long time maybe it's my oven but they came out perfectly cooked and crisp

The wings were very simple for the cajun ones I just sprinkled the wings with a cajun spice mix it had no sugar so that was

The original ones were just salt and pepper.

The chinese ones I didn't really measure but I added soy sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, garlic powder, and just half a packet of splenda. They were super yum!


The parmesan fish and shrimp I just dipped in an egg wash then rolled them in parmesan cheese (the kind in the green can) that I had seasoned with spices like garlic powder, onion powder, parsley and chili powder then oven baked them and voila!

The herb roasted chicken was very simple. I made a mixture of softened butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, rosemary, and parsley. I rubbed it on the chicken under and over the skin, makes it nice and crispy and moist. Then I baked it uncovered in the oven at 400 for about an hour. Very yummy!


The meatballs was a pound of ground beef, some grated onion, a clove of garlic, an egg, a quarter cup of parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.


I'll get back to you on the recipe for the Rosemary ranch chicken and the Tuscan pork medallions cuz I gotta type them out.

Hope I helped you out!

I don't think you've done anything wrong, you are doing your best to not let people new to this woe get sidetracked and sabotaged unintentionally.

Personally, I don't know why anyone would intentionally eat soy, but I hate the way the stuff makes me feel.

Hi Cleochatra, I am on my second low carber diet and have found your posts to be incredibly helpful.
I would like to know your take on the "miracle noodle" made from the konnyaku imo root. As far as I can tell it is not a legume.

I hate to bother you for your time, but could you please tell me if this might be induction friendly.

Many thanks and best regards,
Brian

aguamenti22 -

Your Parmesan crusted tilapia and shrimp look absolutely fantastic.
Can you please tell me how you got the "breading" to adhere so well?
