350 to 375 degrees. I substitute different meats, cheeses, and veges depending on what i have. what I like is that you are not using 6 eggs or something for the entire pie.

I cannot tell a lie: I didn't make them yet. I went home and had a few adult beverages and we had leftovers instead. I got the recipe from a different thread-I think it was Fitnessjunkie who posted about them. I'll go poke around and see if I can find her post.

And, because of the above, I am going to report my daily meals at the end of the day or the next day. Because of my reduced appetite, I'm finding I don't always eat everything I'd planned on.

ETA: re: the enchiladas, after poking around a bit, I think it will be easier if I bring the recipe I'd cut and pasted from home. I'll report back here tomorrow (if I remember, lol!).

[asdf1234]

i dont think of a lumberjack eating muenster cheese and pecan oil great menu though- would die for some keilbasa right now!

going food shopping today so that always changes my meal day even if i plan it! so ill wait until later to post. my dinner last night was aaaamazing- did the stir fry cut steak tip with frozen stir fry peppers, soy sauce and a little apple cider vinegar... so... gooood... probably my favorite atkins meal so far- AND i managed to save a little for todays lunch!

(planned) I wish my store would restock their pork rinds already - huge barrel for not a lot of money.

DSRT: 1/4 cup SF geatin with 1 tblsp heavy cream - we're crazy for this and see it replacing our all too often Blue Bell ice cream nightly treat.

George Stella is a chef that was on the food network with a low carb cooking show. He's got several cookbooks out. Whats so great is that he and his entire family lost LOTS and I mean LOTS of weight with LC cooking. He was over 400 #s. His wife lost like 80 and his kids were really over weight and are very slim now. His wife is a baker and colaborates(sp?) on the cook books. His story is very inspiring. He calls his way of cooking "stella style"[/QUOTE]

Do you put the coconut oil in your coffee or take it as a supplement?

congrats lavajane!

gained half a pound, thinking its just water, had an off day yesterday. had pork roll and hot dogs (nitrates and sodium galore!), not enough water, and my mom took me and the kids to the burger king play yard so i had to have their cheeseburgers without buns- but im sure thats not great for atkins either! so not a carb day per se but not a great diet day...
since coconut oil ( 1 Tbsp a day)- stalled and then gained a half pound; obviously going to keep trying it for awhile longer but im nervous to increase it to another Tbsp....

[asdf1234]

NEED to drink my 80 oz. of water today, no excuses!
