cleochatra · 06-28-2008, 02:01 PM

Old-Fashioned, low-carb potato salad

Taco Dip on Flax Crackers

And more recipes I'm posting soon. What are y'all having?

Mommie22boys · 06-28-2008, 02:22 PM

Nothing majorly exciting. . .prolly hamburgers (with BACON!!), lc cole slaw, devilled eggs, a green salad. . .not sure, as I'm doing A '72 Induction right now.

Hot dogs, of course! LOL

Green bean salad

I may try bbq-ing some individual flat bread pizzas just for kicks.

Burgers

Guacamole

So far...

Ya know that cauliflower tater salad looks very tempting......*drool*

Whatever my family makes (I will have to be careful).

I must try that low carb potato salad, I love all the things you can do with cauliflower!

skg · 06-28-2008, 03:01 PM

I am going to have to try your recipe. The one time I made cauliflower salad it was let's just say yours looks a lot better.

Charski · 06-28-2008, 05:11 PM

Squeakie, love your new pic!

I'm not sure WHAT we'll be doing. DH is on vacation, DSS is flying in tonight from Denver, and we don't have any "firm" plans.

However, DH has been talking about firing up the smoker so we might do smoked ribs and split chickens - with homemade BBQ sauce when we eat them. Might do caulitater salad too, haven't made that in AGES and both the guys love it.

Also have TONS of zucchini growing right now so might do a mock apple crisp with that, or a cheesecake with no-sugar cherry topping!

Let's just say I kept adding stuff until it was flavory.

It started out pretty bland, so I just took notes and kept on going!

Great day here to do steaks on the barbie. Will make 'baked beans"
with the organic soy beans that I bought, bacon in the beans.
Will make the 'tater' salad, and might have a finale with a small
sweet slice of cantaloupe, or 1/2 c. Schwan's butter pecan ice cream
Only 4 gms. and it is soooo good. We have quite a lot of yummy yellow
squash I thought I might do a scallop with cheese.

chewiegand · 06-29-2008, 09:53 AM

We're having:
jalapeno poppers
guacamole w/chips(cleo's zucchini)
brats, dogs, burgers
corn on cob
watermelon
almond pound cake trifle

cleochatra · 06-29-2008, 01:00 PM

I just had to put a plate together. Check this out.

Nigel · 06-29-2008, 02:13 PM

I'm guessing Cleo...is that a loose meat sandwich on an oopsie with cauli-tater salad or is that a taco on an oopsie?
Whatever it is, I wanna come to your house for 4th of July!!

Soobee · 06-29-2008, 02:16 PM

That is the most loaded chili dog on a gluten-free hot dog bun that you'll ever see!

jacksmixedtape · 06-29-2008, 03:45 PM

Looks wonderful, cleo! I made chili dogs with your oopsies baked in loaf pans, then cut in half so they were more hotdog bun-shaped. They were great!

Everything looks yummy, 'specially the tater salad! Hungry now...
