I have been super busy in the kitchen this week and want to share my food porn. Here are a few of the best images, just for fun:

Me too, i agree, because then i must open several sites;-)

Hi I`m Elke, from Frankfurt and been a member since last week; i cant stopp checking out all the recipes, the comments and the other forums; i`ve learned sooooo much and keep learning; started with 6 kilos more than today and it is this site that is keeping me up; thanks to all of you wonderful girls

I swear to hummus I used to post recipes, but I then found that people from other places would take that hard work and claim it as their own on their sites and other places (it happens a lot, unfortunately). People act like, "Well, it was on a forum board, so it's not like anyone really owns it." Crazy, right? But it's true! I don't try to drive traffic to my site by posting images; I just like sharing what I'm making to show anything can be adapted to low carb. It's fun to look at the pictures! It's like eye candy. I'm just here to look and share the love.

Speaking of... Cookies! Thin Mints of the low carb variety.

I love the looks of this stuff. When I catch fresh fish at the cabin, I always bread it up using crushed pork rhinds instead of bread crumbs. Instead of the flour, I use CarbQuick with the spices mixed in, just go easy on the salt because the pork rhinds are salty already. And of course egg. Breading like normal: first the "flour", then the egg, then the "bread crumbs", then into the hot buttery pan. Works good for wings too. Now I wanna go to the cabin! lol

Bon Appetit.

"lol, so were the 1st and 2nd threads by the same name before this one. Don't come here hungry."

I'll say, I saw a picture of a biscuit with butter and strawberry jam the other day and I'm STILL thinking about it Prior to seeing it - I had not given anything like that a thought.

Must think celery and lettuce and fatty things. At least we get the butter part lol.

I made this last night for dinner, it was awesome. We don't have an Applebees here so we have never been there but found this recipe on cdkitchen.com
Had fresh picked gourmet lettuce and the first 3 cherry tomatoes this year with the chicken. Yummo.

This thread has inspired me to revamp some of my own recipes to LC. I figured if they were good enough to get me phat they can get me skinny too, with a few modifications, of course!

Here's my Spinach Stuffed Squash





You can split them down the center or serve whole depending on the size of your squash. In the pics I threw in some cream cheese because I ran shy of sour cream. I also used shredded Parmesan instead of the canned for the first time. It's really pretty versatile. Omit the onions too if you like.

Spinach Stuffed Squash

Start with a large pot of salted water and boil until tender:

4 yellow crookneck squash (you can also use plain yellow squash)

It should take 10mins or so, during which time you can start cooking your spinach. Take:

2 (10oz.) pkgs. Frozen, chopped spinach.

Cook according to package instructions and drain well. You’ll need a strainer for this; otherwise it’ll be too soupy. Just mash the spinach to get the water out. Then set aside.

When the squash are tender (just poke one with a knife or fork and it should go in easily), carefully remove them to a plate and slice each lengthwise. Take a teaspoon and scoop out the seeds, and arrange the halves in a glass Pyrex baking dish (or a foil lined pan would work in a pinch).

Sprinkle each squash liberally with:
Salt
Pepper
Melted Butter (1/2 stick = 4tbs.)
Parmesan cheese

Take a medium pot and sauté in a small amount of olive oil, over low heat:

½ cup finely chopped onion (I always use a white onion for this but yellow or Vidalia would work nicely too.)

Once the onion turns translucent, remove from heat and add:
Cooked spinach
1tsp. Salt
1/8 tsp. Pepper
1 1/8 cup Sour Cream
2 tsp. Red Wine Vinegar

Mix well. It should be thick and easy to scoop, not runny or soupy. Fill squash halves with the spinach mixture and sprinkle each liberally with:
Melted butter
Parmesan cheese

Bake in a pre-heated 350degree oven for 15-25 min. or until golden brown and it’s ready to go. Enjoy!

I'm new to this site. This thread gives me hope and inspiration! Here is my made-up recipe from today... a Frittata made with ham and smoked sausage, spinach, onions, broccoli, cauliflower and cheese. It was delicious.

That is beautiful!!!!! Looks so delicious.

[cleochatra]

Yum, guys! Seriously...

[pickles1010]

Last nights Dinner and a new dessert I made today.

[AtkinsEm]

This phone pic is so bad...but the dinner was really tasty and filling! It was another made-up meal, based on what was in the fridge. I like to think of it as an exotic bacon-burger crossed with a taco. It is hamburger meat, seasoned with onions, garlic, curry, cumin, salt and pepper, a big Tbsp of sour cream...wrapped in lettuce leaves with bacon and green onions.

[cleochatra]

You guys are making me hungry... *sigh*

[AtkinsEm]

All these pics and descriptions make me hungry too... and inspired! You all who have been doing this for awhile have some great skills up your sleeves. I made this lettuce wrap today for the fiancee and I and we both enjoyed them. I think he is seriously considering getting onboard this nutritional lifestyle with me. I had him watch Fat Head the other night and he started doing some research...Yay! Anyway, this wrap is for a Shrimp and Smoked Sausage Salad, with healthy mayo, a touch of sour cream, green onions, avocado and seasoned salt and pepper. Very filling and tasty. I have not been missing bread lately!

I love happy lettuce. It just greens everything up and makes freshness.
