what's your current favorite concoction?

redtoile · 05-07-2008, 04:54 PM

I call my LC recipes concoctions for some reason LOL.

Ok here are my 5 current favs:

1. Ice+ cream
Whipping cream in a blender, add ice, add Davinci vanilla

2.Boil chicken, save broth, save meat, add rotel tomatoes with chilis, and LOTS of cheese or a block of velveeta

3. Diet sprite add different Davinci syryps

4. Turkey Pepperoni sandwhiches with that laughing cow swiss soft cheese triangles smooshed inside

5. Still loving my sugar cookie tea, add cream ( I bought every box the store has last Dec)

What are some of your current favs?

ouizoid · 05-07-2008, 05:33 PM

definitely the "reasonable facsimile of oatmeal" recipe with Kevinpa's Pseudo brown sugar--makes me so very very happy

eggcream with eggbeaters, almondmilk and jello

a mixture of yocheese and waldenfarms caramel dip

thats all for now!

Charski · 05-07-2008, 05:36 PM

Cheesy Bread Rounds - makes a dandy sandwich

Not really a "concoction" but my sugarfree, homemade beef and salmon jerkies are really life-saving snacks!

scandalouslyglam · 05-07-2008, 05:38 PM

I mixed mayo, yellow mustard and a splash of divinci's Viola! Honey mustard sauce for my chicken!! YUM!!

What flavor DaVinci do you use for honey-mustard?

CherryCola · 05-07-2008, 05:51 PM

I love mixing either yogurt or heavy cream with my protein powder to make a pudding like concoction.

shannyn_rose · 05-07-2008, 08:55 PM

4) Strawberry Jay Robb protein powder + 6 oz ice water + 2 oz Hood milk + one large sliced frozen strawberry + one pkt Splenda
5) Grilled steak with sliced portabello mushrooms and onions and a side of buttered asparagus

junkfoodmonkey · 05-08-2008, 02:47 AM

Plain (unspiced) One Minute Muffin sliced and done as French toast
Part cooking veggies in the microwave, draining, then finishing off by sauteeing in butter and garlic.

kathys52 · 05-08-2008, 03:40 AM

Any veggie (favs are asparagus, cauli, green beans or brussel sprouts) tossed with olive oil, garlic and herbs, and then roasted in 375 oven until a little brown...YUM!

AllieCat0817 · 05-08-2008, 05:15 AM

Power yogurt:
1.5 cups full fat yogurt sweetened w/ liquid Stevia and a dash of sf syrup
1.5 scoops Jay Robb whey protein powder (any flavor)
1 tb Nutiva extra virgin coconut oil
1-2 tb almond butter melted down with the coconut oil

I LOVE this. Very very very filling but yes calorie dense.

scandalouslyglam · 05-08-2008, 05:22 AM

Sorta off topic but I have noticed that Low Carb eaters Truly ENJOY their food, seems as though we take great pleasure in it...No just eating it but coming up with new flavorful variations. Yummmmmm!!

dawnyama · 05-08-2008, 05:27 AM

1. homemade alfredo sauce (1 stick of butter, 1 cup cream, 3/4 cup parmesan cheese in a green can)--my DH swears I am trying to kill him with this. It is awesome on anything--chicken, shrimp, squash, eggs.
2. Fage yogurt with strawberries, blueberries and pecans
3. Chocolate coffee--cup of coffee with added cocoa powder, sweetener and cream

KellBell1234 · 05-08-2008, 05:36 AM

Yum! There are some really good ideas in here! Here are some of mine (not too creative though, but these are my "go to"

1. oopsies - make all kinds of sandwiches/french toast etc..with them!
2. meat/cream cheese/pickle roll ups
3. pepperoni chips and dip or pork rinds and dip

Livywilltim-mom · 05-08-2008, 05:38 AM

BETTY,

Please share your scalloped turnip recipe, pretty please!!

dawnyama · 05-08-2008, 05:42 AM

OOH. I have to agree with Kellbell--those lunchmeat/creamcheese/pickle roll ups are great! I love them.

One of our celebrity chefs in the UK, Nigella Lawson, once said that Atkins is a diet for people who really love food. Gotta agree with her on that. I'll take that nice bit of lamb I'm doing on the George Foreman tonight, and that butter sauteed broccoli, followed by the blueberries and double cream, over a Low Fat (and miniscule) microwaved lasagna and some chemical flavoured, HFCS laden pudding in a plastic pot, any day!

Livywilltim-mom · 05-08-2008, 05:51 AM

Since I am doing the Fat Fast right now...

1. 1 avocado diced mixed with seasonings and sour cream

2. 1 ounce cream cheese mixed with 1 T natural PB and 1 squirt of Brown Sugar Cinnamon Toranis SF syrup

redtoile · 05-08-2008, 07:46 AM

Sugar Cookie tea and other Christmas teas were by Celestial Seasonings.
I checked their site a few months back and they will ship them to you.
IF, they still have them I mean.

Someone here said to add a drop of cream.
I usually use a tbs of french vanilla sugar free creamer to mine.

camcam · 05-08-2008, 07:50 AM

I know this is probably not the best lc choice - but once in a while it pulls me through the night when everyone else is enjoying sweet treats

1 cup of unsweetened chocolate Almond Breeze
1/2 cup of Carb Options chocolate ice cream
1 T peanut butter OR a splash of Raspberry or Carmel SF DV syrup w/ 5 drops of Stevia
1 packet sugar free Disney cocoa powder
Blended

YUMMY
